Network Marketing Smart

I just received the new edition of Magnetic Sponsoring Inner Circle in the mail. What caught my attention right away as a I started reading was this sentence - “You’ve probably noticed the “Magnetic Sponsoring Money” attached to your new issue”. I looked around but did not see anything attached and that’s why I had to look inside the envelop. And there it was - a $20 bill-looking cupon and this is what was written on the back of it.

Magnetic Sponsoring Inner Circle Money Certificate

“Congratulations! Here’s Your $20 Magnetic Sponsoring Gift Certificate!

I think that’s kind of cool. And it’s a great marketing idea as well. But what I noticed when I went back to my account at www.MagneticSponsoringOnline.com is that I only was awarded with one cupon. But I have been subscribed to the newsletter for a few months already, since the summer of 2008.

So maybe there should have been a little clarification in the instructions that “At the end of your first 12 months” but starting from this month, and not the month I had first subscribed. Because then it might become after my fist 18 months and not 12.  :) Just a thought. That’s all.

After all if I remain subscribed for 12 months and I am able to redeem the $240 -my Inner Circle newsletter would have costed me only $9.95 a month even though I was paying $29.95 for it each month.

The other day I got Magnetic Sponsoring Inner Circle newsletter in the mail and just found some time to read the first part of it. This is the one written by Mike Dillard himself, so I thought I would quickly summarize what I got from it.

Here is what Mike Dillard wrote about in this month’s Magnetic Sponsoring Inner Circle edition.

If you’ve reached a plateau or even if you haven’t but just want to take your business to the next level Mike Dillard’s fastest solution to this is attending marketing and network marketing events.

He says start going to as many marketing and network marketing events as you can.

And he is talking about the marketing events where you can meet the guys you are learning from and following and the ones you want to be like. Like Mike Dillard himself for example.

Dillard says that this made a big impact on his business.

After attending one of his first marketing events live he was able to establish many connections with some very influential people, one of them being Yanik Silver.

In fact after meeting Yanik Silver in person Dillard was chosen as one of the 18 people allowed to join Yanik’s $2000 a month mastermind (100 applied). From that Dillard was able to build great business relationships that are impacting or will be impacting his business in the future in a very positive way.

It’s All About Building Relationships for Your Business

One of the main points in this edition in the first section of the Magnetic Sponsoring Inner Circle that Dillard makes is that “The relationships you keep are your most valuable asset”.

And if you have been reading NetworkMarketingSmart.com for a while you know that this is something I like to talk about a lot.

So, what Dillard goes into is that each industry has it’s top people, most successful, best marketers, charismatic leaders if you wish.

And they all know each other pretty much and they all scratch each others backs.

The newest valuable information is shared only in their circle and that’s for the purposes of continued increase of their dominance in the market place.

By the way, I have been paying a lot of attention to this lately. I have been receiving newsletters from some of the same great marketers, who constantly support each others efforts, market each others programs and keep the big cash flow in their own circle.

Anyways, what Dillard explains is that you can also join their club.

And one of the fastest ways to do that is by meeting these guys in the real world where you can shake hands and you become someone with a face and a real name. You are no longer just another e-mail address.

Did I say It’s All About Building Relationships? I meant It’s All About Value!

Now Mike did not talk about this much but there are people who are ready for this kind of networking and those who aren’t.

Basically here the same rule applies that I keep on repeating all throughout this blog – If you are waiting for a big fat check to fall out from the sky while you are lying on your couch eating potato chips and watching TV…Wake Up and Stop Kidding Yourself…Get Real!

But if you are hard working, you know what you are doing and what you are doing it for then you are ready.  And if you are ready for this high level of networking you also know about value, you know that it’s important to bring something to the table before you start eating.

So that’s what Mike Dillard says too. You must lead with value. When you meet these guys don’t ask “What can you do for me” but rather ask “What can I do for you”. 

“Bring value to their world and they will return the favor.”

Remember The Law of Attraction?

As a last note one of the bigger reminders I got from this article is one that I would like to remind you about.

When you approach the marketers you admire and you like to network with, the big leaders in network marketing or whatever your industry it is, don’t approach as a fan but rather than as a peer. 

Even if you don’t feel like a leader peer yet – here come the favorite Mike Dillard’s quote “You’ve got to fake it till you make it”.
