Succeeding at Network Marketing — Are You Trying To Reinvent The Wheel?
A couple of days ago, I was watching the Subway Series on TV…. the Yankees against the Mets. As always, it was a hard fought series.
What I saw in the first game of the series really intrigued me. The Yankees had a young, 23-year old pitcher going against the Mets. His name is Joba Chamberlain. Joba is very talented but extremely inexperienced, especially in big series such as the Yankees-Mets rivalry.
Catching for the Yankees was veteran Jorge Posada. Jorge has been through it all… the pressures of big games, hostile crowds, and even a few World Series. He knows how to call a game, and is generally trusted among the pitchers.
So what do I see on Friday night?
I see this young, inexperienced pitcher calling off his catcher time after time (NOTE: for non-baseball fans, the catcher generally indicates a sign to the pitcher, telling him which pitch to throw. The pitcher can accept this call, or he can “shake it off” by shaking his head NO, and the catcher will try another pitch).
Here is Posada, one of the most experienced big time catchers in the league, and he is being shaken off by the 23 year old “know it all” pitcher. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
So what happened?
Not surprisingly, Chamberlain imploded, walking in a couple of runs, hitting batters with the bases loaded, and totally losing his cool. It was obvious that Posada was steamed, and with good reason. Chamberlain was gone by the 4th inning.
Chamberlain decided to REINVENT THE WHEEL. He decided that, even with his inexperience, he knew better than the experienced catcher on the right pitches to throw. Posada, having been in numerous big games in critical situations, knew which pitches Chamberlain should throw. He knew what would work. He had a proven system that has worked time and again in the past.
But Chamberlain thought he knew better. And he failed miserably.
Why am I telling you this story?
Because I see the same mistake being made by Network Marketing newbies every day. They come into the business, all gung-ho and excited to light the Network Marketing world on fire.
But rather than going with a system that has proven to be successful, well established strategies that have worked for some of the top leaders in network marketing, they decide to “go it alone”.
They decide their way will be better.
And they fail. And they quit believing it’s all a scam and can’t be done. Thinking only the leaders make the money.
In reality, all they had to do was plug into systems that already work.
As new home business owners, there are so many new things to learn and implement. It can be a bit overwhelming.
Don’t exacerbate this by trying to reinvent the wheel.
To your success!
Day 7: ‘Self Employed and Rich’
“How To Make A $100,000 Per Month
Residual Income In Less Than 12 Months“
Here is how our “Top CCPRO Team” has made It duplicable through our Carbon Copy Marketing System:
•MISSION: You’ve got to have a mission that puts the success of others first. Our goal is to help 100 people become millionaires within the next 3 years, and we’re on track to reach our goal.
•INDUSTRY: Direct Sales via Network Marketing. No other business model offers so much potential with so few barriers to entry (like start-up costs).
•COMPENSATION PLAN: Direct Sales, but only if it has a residual income based compensation plan.
Stay away from the ‘2-up’ compensation plan found in most direct sales companies. This compensation plan is not fair and does not harbor team spirit because your over-rides on partners is limited to their first two customers.
•PRODUCTS: The long term profitability and viability of any company will be determined by the actual value of the products being sold.
40% of the products promoted by Carbon Copy Pro are sold to product customers only, i.e. people not looking for a business opportunity.
If the product(s) being marketed won’t stand on their own, in other words if no one would buy them without the money-making incentive, then they’re not the right products.
•MENTOR: Find a mentor. Someone you can trust. Someone who has a system. Someone who already has the results you’re looking for. This has to be someone who is willing to listen to your needs and actually cares about your success. He/she must also have a financial interest in your success.
•MARKETING: Use an Attraction Marketing system like ours that does the sorting, selling, training, and follow-up for you. This system must not only attract (right keywords, ads etc) the right type of person (entrepreneur vs get-rich-quick loser), but be able to present the information in such a way that is clear, concise, to the point and not full of hype fluff or crazy promises.
Then figure out how to get 100-200 QUALITY targeted prospects into your marketing pipeline EACH week. (Remember, there are close to a million people looking for businesses every week and 79 million Americans plan to start their own business in the next 3-5 years!).
•TRAINING: Make sure you have access to one-on-one, and group training designed to dramatically shorten your learning curve and reduce the number of variables that come with “trial and error”. Our system is designed to “share” the knowledge and experience with EVERY member through our daily training calls and forum. My consultants get to hear top producers working their businesses LIVE, 4 days a week, as if they were sitting in the office with me.
•SUPPORT: Unparalleled support is mandatory. EVERYONE in Carbon Copy PRO is highly motivated to help you reach the level of financial prosperity that you want because we’re compensated extremely well in order to ensure that you do!
It’s been my pleasure to present you with this Self Employed and Rich 7-day bootcamp. I hope you’ve gotten some useful information from it.

Day 6: Monetizing Your Leads
Day 6: ”How To Turn Leads Into Paying Customers”
Ahhh… This is one of my favorite topics.
Ironically, it’s the most important because it’s when products are purchased, value is exchanged, and that’s when the money is made.
Yet, the average home business owner fails to capitalize on 90% of their businesses profit potential, because they have no idea how to handle this stage correctly.
Want to know what to say to your leads?
Wish you knew how to follow up with them correctly for maximum profits and results?
Then read today’s issue closely.
I’m sure you remember the 3-step formula I gave you in Day #1…
1: Build a list.
2: Build a relationship with that list.
3: Market to that list.
Repeat, repeat, repeat!
Well we’re at stages 2 and 3 today, and they are intimately linked. You cannot consistently make sales in stage 3, if you failed to build a relationship in stage 2.
You’ll find that 3% to 10% of your prospects just get it. The time is right for them. They’ve pro-actively gone through all of the information about CarbonCopy PRO they could get their hands on, and they’re ready to become a part of the family as a customer or business owner immediately.
As for the rest, it’s a matter of timing. And this is where the average distributor drops the ball.
They usually end up treating prospects as a perishable commodity with a very short shelf-life. They get a quick “yes or no” answer and then move onto the next.
Well you’ve always heard that fortune is in the follow up, and that phrase couldn’t be more right.
The follow up is where you find your leverage.
Let me give you an illustration of what I mean…
Let’s say that you generate 10 leads per day, or 300 per month.
Of those 300, 5-10% submit and application, paying you a $30 commission on each. (This earns you several hundred dollars to pay for your marketing/advertising costs.
Out of your applicants… about 20% will join at the “entry level”.
This will earn you 3-6 customers and $3,000-$6,000 in immediate commissions your first month. Not bad.
Well as our system continues to build a relationship with our leads, the timing will become right for another 10% in month two.
So all in all, about 3% of every 100 leads WILL JOIN.
We already have 300 leads in our pipeline from month 1, and now we’re going to add another 300 for month two, bringing our prospect list total to 600.
Once again, 20% of our new applicants will get started right away, giving us 6 new customers again in month two. But now an additional 10% from our previous month will decide to buy the product due to our follow-up efforts, which gives us an additional 9 customers for a total of 15, and commissions of $15,000.
You get my point…
But the real money is always made on the back-end in ANY business, and once again, that’s no different here in CarbonCopy PRO.
You see, about 40% of all “entry-level” customers will eventually become “2nd product” customers because they love the product and see the incredible value of the information revealed in the “2nd product”.
You make up to a $5,000 commission on each “2nd Product” sale, so if 40% of your 15 customers become “2nd product” customers, you stand to make an additional $30,000 in profits from the customers you’ve already acquired.
When you add our “3rd product” into this equation, you stand to earn an additional $25,000 in back-end profits…
Earning you a total of $70,000 in your first 90 days!
And this process continues month after month as your prospect pipeline grows from 300 to 600 to 900 to 1,200 to 1,500, etc.
Alright, so on to Part II of today’s lesson…
What do you do with your prospects as you generate them?
Well our philosophy is pretty simple.
We’re not here to personally sell people on CarbonCopy PRO. Our marketing tools do the selling and telling for us. If someone doesn’t see the incredible value in CarbonCopy’s marketing system or business opportunity, there’s nothing I can say or do to change their mind, nor would I want to waste my time doing so.
I’m not here to twist arms. I’m here to act as a consultant and to provide information so that my prospects can sell themselves. And you will do the same.
Did You Know?
80% of all profits come from back-end sales – marketing to your existing clientele?
********************************************************************************************
As you begin your business, your only real job is to generate leads into your CarbonCopy PRO system that you will be provided with.
Out of your leads about 5-10% will become “applicants”.
If my prospects want to talk to me after this point, they just contact my office… or I call to greet them AFTER they have already joined my team!

Day 3: Avoiding the ‘Stupid Tax’ of Online Advertising
Day 3: ”How To Avoid The ‘Stupid Tax’ Of Online Advertising”
I’ve had a few people ask me about our team’s winning marketing techniques and their common concern was a lack of “know-how” when it comes to online advertising…
And let me assure you, their concerns are legitimate, so I want to spend today addressing them for your benefit as well.
You see, the internet charges a “stupid tax” when it comes to online marketing.
That basically means that if you just jump in with both feet without really knowing what you’re doing, the net is going to “tax” your wallet big time.
- Your PPC campaigns will be disabled by Google or Yahoo.
- Your ezine ads will get a whopping “0%” response rate.
- And in the end, you’ll end up paying $30 per lead instead of $3 to $5.
It’s a frustrating experience, and it can put a well-intentioned, yet uneducated business owner on the sidelines pretty quick.
But there is an simple solution…
The key to mastering online advertising is (like all things), is a little dose of “inside” knowledge.
So does that mean you have to go out and buy 10 different books and courses on online advertising once you get your business started?
Well in most cases, the answer would probably be yes, but not here.
Let me be blunt… Unless you have a marketing system to plug into, you are dead in the water.
This is when selecting the right team of people to partner with becomes critical. (And this is my big piece of advice for the day…)
Essentially, you wan to join someone who builds their business like you would want to build your business, because that’s what you’ll be taught.
If you want to use online advertising and avoid the internet marketing “stupid tax”, then you don’t want to partner with someone who likes to do home meetings.
Our team specializes in what I call the “work smart” approach. While less experienced home business owners are making lists of their friends and family members to pitch, handing out business cards, posting fliers, and buying low-quality leads,
…We Use Marketing To Attract The Right People To Us.
And that ability can only be wielded once you’ve experienced the right kind of training.
For example…
Let’s say that you submit an application today to start the CarbonCopy PRO business.
While you’re a sharp, successful leader – you might not have the whole internet marketing thing down yet.
…Which basically means that you’re now faced with the daunting challenge of teaching yourself the in’s and out’s of internet marketing and lead generation which will cost you about $10,000 in books and at least six months of your life.
That’s not really practical for you or us because we want you producing quickly .
And what are you supposed to do when you have a new business partner join your sales team?
Do you have the knowledge and skills necessary to help them hit the ground running? Can you teach them online marketing?
Probably not.
The solution?
We cut your learning curve down to days or weeks with simple, step-by-step instructions that will have you generating your own leads faster than you can imagine.
Want 5,10,15,20 people contacting you every-single-day about your CarbonCopy PRO business?
Piece of cake.
You see, we’ve put together the most comprehensive training site you’ll ever see when it comes to generating leads, and building a home business which will show you (exactly) how to make that happen.
Adwords Pay Per Click
Ezines
Articles
Post Cards
Domain Name Registration
Free advertising sources
It’s all there…
Have questions?
Well that’s what I’m for, but in addition to my help, you’ll have access to our team forum where members from all over the world congregate to help brand new people just like you, to hit the ground running.
Don’t know what to say when you talk to a prospect? No problem. We’ve got live recorded prospecting calls that you can listen to over and over again…
But for the most part, you wont have to worry about that because our “mastermind group” will call and close the sales for you.
In fact, I wouldn’t doubt if some people have joined our CarbonCopy team just to access this training, as it would easily reach over $20,000 in real world value.
And that’s the type of team and environment you’re going to have to find if you want to avoid the internet marketing “stupid tax”.
The alternative is to make that list of your 100 closest friends and family members.
If that’s something that you’d settle for, I’d suggest that you keep your day job .
It’s a harsh reality but you wouldn’t make it as a doctor without going to medical school, and you won’t make it as an entrepreneur without learning how to generate your own leads.
If you’ve been surfing around the net recently looking for a home business, you’ve no doubt come across opportunities that promise you the world…
They claim they’ll do it all for you… yet they fail to back it up with “real” training.
Aside From That, Here’s The Real Problem With Those Kinds Of “Programs”…
There’s no ownership involved.
You don’t own anything and you have no real value to offer the world.
You don’t own the marketing skill set needed to generate the leads which means you’re dependent upon them.
You don’t own the personal confidence or leadership skills required to attract new business partners and customers to you.
And finally, you don’t own the list of prospects and you won’t have a personal relationship with them, which means you don’t have a business at all.
Your business and your income are 100% dependent upon other people and services.
Do you really think you’re going to upgrade your life and lifestyle? Do you think it’s going to last for more than a few months?
…Only a fool would think so.
Coming up on Day 4 - “The 3 Secrets to Attraction Marketing Success”
Day 2: Who Are These 6 Figure Earners?
To answer this question, lets first look at some startling Facts:
•Less than 1 out of 1000 people in this industry will ever make 6-figures.
•90% of all business will fail within their first 5 years (Entrepreneur Magazine)
•Over 30,000,000 (yes million) Americans have either attempted Network Marketing or are currently involved in the industry.
•Yet 90% make less than $10 a week.
•Yet 70,000,000 (yes million) Americans plan to start their OWN businesses in the next 3 years (Forbes Magazine)
Yet both Trump and Kiyosaki both say that if they had to do it all over again, they would build their fortunes in THIS industry. (Oh! I almost forgot, Warren Buffet also bought several Network Marketing companies last year.)
WHY! WHY!? Why does everyone think this is an industry of easy-riches when the reality is that most are failing dismally?
It’s simple: Over 90% of the money in this industry is made by the company owners, and they know this!
They also know something about leverage…
Most of the entrepreneurs are lured to this industry by dreams of riches and easy money. A better lifestyle, less work, more free time, nice cars, and lifestyle.
Yet the vast majority will fail.
Unless you are joining a group or team that is really going to show you the common denominators of their success, you are dead in the water.
The typical work-at-home newbie thinks that success is all about a hot sizzle product and timing. Well that’s simply not the case and I’ll prove it to you right now.
Go buy $10,000 of any product in the world that you’d like.
Have it delivered to your home.
Are you rich yet?
No of course not.
Products don’t make money, marketing does.
If you don’t join a leadership team that really knows how to market both online and offline, you’re in trouble.
You see, this is an industry of marketing and promotion pursued by people who have no idea how to market or promote.
If you want to be successful, you’ve got to align yourself with a group of marketers.
This is the reason our team has so many consultants achieving the “impossible” is because they are able to leverage our hundreds of collective years of experience in marketing legitimate products. This eliminate 90% of the learning curves and struggles that typically cause most people to fail and give up on their initial dreams.
All of a sudden, instead of this being a money-game, you’re selling something you can stand behind and be incredibly proud of using a marketing system that actually works.
Coming Next on Day 3: “How To Avoid The ‘Stupid Tax’ Of Online Advertising”.
You won’t want to miss this one…
Day 1: If I Only Knew This When I Started (It is THAT Crucial)…
So you want to fire your boss? You want to make a fortune from home, spend more time with your kids, and retire in style? Have millions invested – your money working for you? Live a life of luxury and leave a Legacy?
Who doesn’t?
Well I have some GOOD news and some BAD news for you…
The BAD news is that it’s not as easy as it sounds to setup and build a successful online business with a strong passive income.
Have you considered the following?
•How do you generate leads?
•Do you use offline or online advertising?
•How to you “effectively” follow-up with your prospects?
•How do you know if there’s actually a market for your product?
•How large should your marketing budget be if you want to make $50,000/mo or more?
•How do you make ads FTC compliant so that you stay of out hot water with the Gov?
•How do you leverage your time with a personal assistant? Where do you find one?
•What should you do with the money you make so you don’t blow it all like most people do?
•How do you train your team so that it duplicates your success?
How do you leverage your time and resources so you’re not working 70 hours a week?
There’s a lot to it, but the good news is that my partners and I are here to help you, and we’re some of the best of the best in the world when it comes to this type of business.
If you’ve ever pursed a home business before, then this information is going to feel like a completely honest, open, and revealing breath of fresh-air when compared to the garbage you’ve received in the past.
So let’s consider your options…
95% of all home businesses are usually found in the network marketing or direct sales industry.
While they have many similarities, the primary difference is the compensation model. We prefer the direct sales model because it’s MUCH easier to replace a full-time or six-figure income when compared to anything else out there.
•Secret #1: Choose DIRECT SALES over “M L M” if you want to generate a large income quickly.
•Secret #2: Understand how you will really make your money and build your mini-empire.
You see, a business opportunity is really nothing – not an opportunity at all. In fact, it’s just an agreement on a piece of paper.
The vast majority of people who end up starting a home business do so because they get all hyped-up about some “super” new product that they think will over-take the market and make them millions in the process.
Well that’s not how it works.
The only way you’re ever going to make REAL money… I’m talking $500,000, to multiples of that, is to do one single thing…
And if you’ll sit back and really absorb the meaning of what I’m about to share with you, money will never be an issue for you again.
So here’s the most valuable piece of advice you’ll ever get… “Increase your personal value to the world.”
Yes that’s it: “Increase your personal value to the world.”
Did you ever consider that the amount of money you make is a direct measure of your worth to society?
Well it’s true, and if you want to increase your income, you’ve got to increase your value to others. Once you do that, money starts coming at you like wouldn’t believe. Business becomes a piece of cake.
It all comes down to “social dynamics.”
You see, people like to work with, learn from, and buy from proven leaders who can offer them real value.
It’s an instinct that a part of our very genetics because associating ourselves with people of means and power, increases our chances for survival and prosperity.
In essence, when you increase your value to others, you never have to “sell” anything. People approach you. You become a prosperity magnet, and achieving the kind of financial prosperity you want becomes so easy, it’s a “non-issue”.
On the other hand, if you don’t have any real value to offer someone, they’ll take their business elsewhere.
So the most important thing you could ever do, no matter what your occupation, is to increase your value to others by increasing your knowledge, experience, and skill sets.
