I love to watch MLM Guru Tim Sales teach and train, using all kinds of marketing skills to promote his business of training network marketers to succeed. No one explains professional multi-level marketing (MLM) as well as Tim Sales. But he really should update the training to include one or two key issues:

  • Tim Sales teaches inviting skills - how to invite initially uninterested people to hear or watch an MLM presentation. Once upon a time, his training worked like a charm. But what about now? Not so good. Things have changed.
  • Sales continues to teach network marketers how to handle objections to the business model of MLM. Doesn't that mean he still believes in approaching uninterested people for the purpose of converting them into business partners and customers? And yet he knows better than to approach lawyers, plummers, etc. to buy his MLM training products. He markets to MLM people.- marketing 101 - know your target market - and he does. He could add an entire new training course on that and I would buy it.

See, the thing is, Tim Sales is definitely an MLM Guru even though he has retired from MLM. He has credibility. He has proven himself to all of us who follow his lead. I just wish he would update his work to teach us what he knows as an Internet MLM Guru.

As a business owner, the marketing of his personal brand, plus his training books, videos, brochures, etc. is excellent. His target market is network marketers and the marketing of his products is really very effective. He uses all types of excellent marketing strategies:

  • Direct Sales Marketing
  • Internet Marketing
  • Tele-Marketing (training calls)
  • Video Marketing
  • Email Marketing
  • Live Events
  • etc.

Even now, Sales skillfully attracts highly qualified leads and customers to his business. His marketing campaigns are very effective.

But to me, he's missing a golden opportunity.

Marketing Merge

As I mentioned, MLM Guru Tim Sales could easily upgrade to an Internet MLM Guru by teaching how to merge internet marketing with network marketing.

That's what Renegade University teaches - a marketing merge of professional internet network marketing.

This huge wave of internet marketing savvy MLM trainers are out there and the internet is giving them inexpensive accesss to the same target market that Tim Sales is after - networkers. Only these Internet  MLM Gurus train network marketers in all types of professional internet network marketing strategies that make some of Tim Sales's training incomplete.

Tim Sales is very professional in his own marketing and has almost single handedly been the one who raised the bar years ago by training networkers to be professional network marketers. I for one am quite sure that he is working on a professional internet network marketing training course right now. (If not, Tim, I hope you will very soon!)

Tim Sales brought a new light to Network Marketing by explaining the business model in simple terms so that everyone could understand it. Tim Sales’ efforts brought credence to the industry.

 

The MLM Guru Tim Sales lived up to his status with his Brilliant Compensation video. This animated video described in clear terms just how viable Network Marketing is. Brilliant Compensation also made credible how Network Marketing is one of the most equitable ways to create income.

 

To MLMers, this was great news and it gave them tools to overcome some of the larger negative perceptions of the industry. But, MLM Guru Tim Sales, proving Network Marketing to be viable and equitable turned out to be only half the battle.

 

Fear Of Rejection In The Network Marketing Industry

 

So, this MLM Guru Tim Sales began to shed light on another age-old problem for MLMers -- presenting your business opportunity. Presenting your biz op to an unsuspecting person has some yuky parts, but the most dreaded was the fear of rejection. MLMers had to work hard in trying to overcome the fear of rejection.

 

Inviting someone to hear about your biz op is another age-old stumbling block for MLMers. The huge smack down of rejection and the fear that comes with it had every MLMer scrambling for a wadded up hand-written note stuffed deep down in their pockets.

 

Although all Network Marketers are taught not to take this rejection personally, it could take a whole lot of work to get over it. This meant you had to have a reason or “Why” big enough to help you keep on keeping on.

 

The sacred and reworked “Why” had to be huge to overcome the fearful trembling that rejection could bring.

 

Enter, the MLM Guru Tim Sales who designed the Inviting Formula. The Inviting Formula gave MLMers a sequence to follow when presenting their biz op, and it also provided communication tools that could turn a pitch into a conversation.

 

By tapping into a powerful force of human nature — emotions, a mundane message can turn into an inspiring one. Each of us has attached our buying processes to our emotions with logic following behind.

 

We have built emotions around that something that inspires us to go out and conquer the world, or... to go and buy something.

Attraction Marketing Eliminates Fears For Network Marketers

 

But just like Brilliant Compensation was only half the equation, we, as marketers, need to understand what our prospects are looking for.

 

We must learn to market.

 

And could it be that we actually learn how to market ourselves before our biz op or product. In learning how to market ourselves, we have realized that we don’t have to learn how to overcome rejection or objections.

 

For network marketers, this is a dream come true.

 

The internet network marketing industry calls it Attraction Marketing.

 

As we bring our businesses onto the Internet, internet network marketing training will keep our saws sharp.
