<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-257" style="margin: 5px;" title="MLM Attraction Marketing" src="http://stevenwinata.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/magnet-300x225.jpg" alt="MLM Attraction Marketing" width="270" height="203" />If you’re currently working as an MLM marketer and are frustrated with the number of rejections and declines from customers you’ve approached in the past, perhaps it’s time to focus on a different method of marketing products online.</p>
<p>In reality, many marketers have experienced the exact same thing you’re going through because the traditional way of selling a product online just doesn’t work as well anymore.</p>
<p>This method involved approaching a potential customer who you don’t know and vice versa.  You start marketing your product, sharing information while appealing to him to buy your product or to join your MLM marketing business.  You do this by offering a business opportunity to him, something that you don’t encounter everyday.</p>
<p>But because the customer has no idea who you are and has heard of all kinds of scams and set ups when it comes to MLM marketing, they turn down your offer and move on with life.</p>
<p>Because of the high percentage of failure and rejection with this kind of MLM marketing method, many people have turned to what is known as attraction marketing.</p>
<p>Attraction marketing basically means attracting customers to you instead of running after them in order to make a sale.</p>
<p>You create a brand name for your product, spread your name as the seller of the product, and eventually get customers to come to you to inquire about it.  This involves creating leads that will spark interest in your customers and get them to come to you.  Many marketers who adopted attraction marketing are able to work better, more effectively, and of course without having to do so much just to be able to make a sale.</p>
<p>Just imagine the life of a celebrity when understanding this type of marketing method.  A celebrity doesn’t have to approach a stranger just to get them to enjoy his movies or his music.  In fact, because of his exposure to the public, his appearance in movies, and the fact that his music is being played on the radio and on television, people know who he is and what he does.  Fans would run after him instead of the other way around to get his autograph, buy his movies, music, and merchandise, and attend his shows and concerts.</p>
<p>This is the kind of marketing that you should use to be able to generate thousands of dollars in income without having to deal with too much rejection.  By using an automated lead generation system, you can create your own leads and use them to direct customers to your website, your product, and most of all to yourself.</p>

		</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-196" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Alpha networker" src="http://stevenwinata.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/alpha1-150x150.jpg" alt="Alpha networker" width="150" height="150" />If you have been in the network marketing industry for a while, you would likely have heard of the industry legend and top trainer, <span id="lw_1264811607_0" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">Mike Dillard</span>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Back in 2006, he exposed the rest of the MLM world to one of the closely <span id="lw_1264811607_1" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">guarded secrets</span> that elite top earners have used to make 6 and 7 figure income and build a giant organization, through his eye-opening course called <a title="Mike Dillard's Magnetic Sponsoring" href="http://stevewin.magneticsponsoringonline.com/" target="_blank">Magnetic Sponsoring</a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In the course, Dillard talked about the concept of attraction marketing. The reason why only 3% in the industry ever achieve and enjoy the <span id="lw_1264811607_2" class="yshortcuts" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">financial freedom</span> every network marketer dreams of is because they know how to position themselves as leaders and attract followers, even fans, who will look up to them. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Dillard called them the &#8220;Alpha networkers.&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Alphas are considered the everyday people you will meet in many places, who exhibit the quality and expertise many people look for. They include your professor, pastor, and popular pals. The celebrities and rock stars are supposed to be on the list as well&#8230; perhaps.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Now, here&#8217;s my thought.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Although Dillard is right to a certain point in terms of increasing your knowledge base in order to attract others, the critical element of character building and seasoning is still missing in this and many of the similar <span id="lw_1264811607_3" class="yshortcuts" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">personal development courses</span>. And this element can only be achieved by practicing the right principles and wisdom, making the right choices as many times as possible, and overcoming any obstacles in life.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Knowledge alone will bring people to unstable places and inflated intellectualness. The real Alpha comes out as a result of victorious battles against personal issues, challenges, and shortcomings. It takes courage and a never give up attitude to confront yourself and prove that the principles you have learned are true. Out of those <span id="lw_1264811607_4" class="yshortcuts" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">personal experiences</span>, you can then turn and help others overcome their similar issues. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Although, as someone said, people are like sheep, they are, however, not stupid. They can see if you are a real Alpha who radiate confidence and maturity, or you only look like an Alpha when you don&#8217;t really have anything you can share but information.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Internet is a great tool to leverage your time and efforts in helping and training your MLM organization. But remember it will not substitute for the seasons where the Alpha has already consistently practiced what he or she preaches.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Do all of us a favor. Be real, be reliable, be trustworthy, and watch how, through your leadership, our industry will become a magnet to those who have not had their eyes open to see the brilliance of network marketing.<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Are you an alpha?<br />
</span></p>

<p>It is an old wisdom that always rings true: People do business with people they know, like, and trust.</p>
<p>Here are 4 quick points you need to demonstrate to your prospects in order to stand out from others who have tried to sell them business opportunities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Relatability &#8211; They need to like you and feel connected with you</li>
<li>Trust &#8211; Do you sound like a salesperson or coach/consultant?</li>
<li>Respect/leadership &#8211; Do you offer sincere help and know what you&#8217;re talking about? Leadership is servanthood at its heart.</li>
<li>Support/training &#8211; Can you provide them with a duplicable system/model they can plug into right off the bat?</li>
</ul>
<p>Attraction marketing is nothing new. You position and brand yourself by providing value and solutions to the real needs of your target market, rather than promoting.</p>
<p>This is true not only for <a title="New School Network Marketing" href="http://automaticmlmleads.com/?t=blog090507" target="_blank">new school network marketing</a> but also business in general. <a title="Steven Winata" href="http://stevenwinata.com/about-me" target="_self">Contact me</a> to learn how to be perceived as an expert and you will find prospects lining at your door and asking you for advice.</p>

<p>Attraction marketing has been embraced by more and more entrepreneurs. It has allowed small and home business owners to compete with the &#8220;big boys&#8221; and brand themselves as experts in their field.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re like 97% of network marketers out there, you&#8217;re most likely still doing the traditional methods of building your MLM business. What I mean by traditional is something like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Creating your warm market list and contacting every single person on it</li>
<li>Pitching your company&#8217;s &#8220;unheard of&#8221; compensation plan and products or services that &#8220;sell by themselves&#8221; (why are you needed then?)</li>
<li>Looking for the first chance in every conversation to steer it towards your business opportunity</li>
<li>Buying hundreds of dollars worth of leads and having to gather enough guts every time you pick up the phone and talk to those strangers</li>
<li>Getting pumped up and inspired in every regional and national convention and wandering why you&#8217;re still not the one up there on the platform being recognized</li>
<li>Threatening every local business owners you&#8217;ve been doing business with that they have to return the favor or risk losing you as their customer</li>
</ul>
<p>As brilliant as the network marketing concept is, it was practiced by people who have no idea what they&#8217;re doing. It seems like the word &#8220;marketing&#8221; in network marketing has been ignored. Most MLM distributors or reps only focus on the networking part of the business and forget all about how to effectively market their business.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s not entirely their fault.</p>
<p>They have been trained to duplicate what their upline sponsors and top producers do. While people are like sheep and tend to follow what they&#8217;re shown especially if they have no clue, every one is unique in terms of their passion, giftings, background, personality, education level, desire, and experience.</p>
<p><strong>Marketing is a skill every one can learn and master</strong>. Understanding how people think, feel and react is very helpful in creating an effective marketing funnel.</p>
<p>And today we have the internet that virtually makes marketing system automation possible.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time for network marketers to catch up with the rest of their business counterparts. It&#8217;s time for us to master how to attract prospects with effective marketing and restore the reputation of network marketing in public eyes.</p>
<p>My 7-video &#8220;Network Marketing Simplified&#8221; mini course and special report will help put together the whole idea of what and where this industry is and where it&#8217;s going.</p>
