MLM success, Mike Dillard, got started in network marketing back in 2000; just about the time that replicated company websites were introduced. He began with the vision of being an MLM success, being an entrepreneur, generating a residual income. My goal, in this piece, is to share with you a small piece of Mike Dillard's story that you can apply to your business to achieve increased success.
Mike Dillard's Story
Mike Dillard started out in the network marketing industry right after completing school. He openly shares how that at that time, he was extremely shy, had very little self-confidence and was dead broke. He had to make money to take care of the bills, and at the same time, he needed to overcome his fear of talking to people.
He took a position as a medical recruiter calling 200+ doctors' offices, daily, to eliminate the fear picking up the phone and talking to prospects. Within no time at all, he had no problem picking up the phone confidently.
Next, he took a job waiting tables at PF Changs. This freed up his days to concentrate his efforts on network marketing. Mike used all the traditional business building strategies, attended home based events, handed out flyers, everything and anything without much results.
Mike began reading books and listening to instructional cds. He found out about target marketing, finding the people that were already interested in what you're selling. He learned about leadership. He started making calls to 100 to 200 people on genealogy lists, daily, still without much results.
He would think about how life could be so much better if he could get people to contact him. So, he focused on finding out what he had to do to get at least 5 to 10 prospects to get in touch with him on a daily basis. He found a mentor. He studied attraction marketing. Mike learned that prospects will join your team when they see you as a leader who can offer them value. He started to position himself as a leader and stopped chasing prospects.
After struggling for over 6 years, going deep into debt, and pawning his possessions just to eat, he finally figured things out, and discovered the art of magnetic sponsoring. At first, he made what he now mastered available to people in his company. Then he began teaching people, in any company, how to attract an unending number of new prospects and customers to them.
Today, Mike has built a multiple 7-figure organization, leveraging the Internet, in the network marketing industry. He teaches people that being a leader is a choice you make for yourself, immediately. It's a state of mind, a role that you put yourself into. It's the ability to tell someone else what to do next.
Mike Dillard teaches people to stand out from the rest by being honest, having integrity, and giving value. Some important elements that he suggests people focus on are:
1. Learn Internet lead generation and focus on one method until you are attracting 30 to 50 leads daily.
2. Learn to convert those leads into sales or prospects for your company.
3. Learn to talk on the phone to prospects and get them enrolled on your team.
4. Focus on one goal or project at a time and do 3 to 5 action items every day to accomplish it.
