Network Marketing Training- Secrets to MLM Success During the Holidays- Part 1

by Doug Firebaugh

The Holidays.

Sometimes, in MLM and network marketing, it sees when you saythose words, network marketers shut down. They simply think thatthey will start again January 1, and kick it into gear. NetworkMarketing during the holidays does not exist, and they slow downto a crawl.

Who in the world sold you on that?

That is simply a dumb thing to do.

Yes, during the holidays, people are busy, and people are goingplaces, shopping, and do not want to think about a home basedbusiness many times.

But it's because of the focus of ther networker. Many mlmdistributors do not know how to work this business and holdconversations during the holiays. Your focus must be differentthan any other time of the year.

It takes a little finesse.

And you still have many things going for you that will worktotally in your favor,and help kick your mlm business into gearthe first of the year.

What 2 things are working in your favor during the holidays thatmakes it easy to create success in your Network marketingbusiness?

1) People are in the Holiday Emotion.

Many folks are in the emotion of sentimental memories. They areremembering past Holdays and their favorite Christmas. They arethinking about the smell of pie and turkey. They are rememberingtheir childhood. They are thinking of parents long past. Andmany are thinking about the Birth of Christ.

How can you move people to a real powerful emotion that drawsthem to you?

Ask this:

"What is your favorite holiday memory? Tell me about it."

People really will think about this, and then will give youtheir answer. And many times they get excited just thinkingabout it.

Why would you ask them this?

To open them up, and let the emotion of the Holidays flow, anddraw them towards you. This simply will create an opening totalk to them after the first of the year.

"I would love to chat with you the first of the year. I couldreally use some help on something."

This simply will open the door to ask for their help in locatingsome talent for your business or customers that can benefit formyour products.

2) People are in the Holiday Focus.

People are focused on many things during this time of the year.One focus is CHANGE.

People are looking to change things more than any other time ofthe year.

People are focused on EXPECTATION.

They are expecting and anticipating a great holiday season, andalso a better new year. Talk to them about the change you canoffer in their life. But set a time that is convenient for them.

People are focused on SHOPPING.

There is no better place to meet people than Holiday shopping.

Talk to them about their children. Compliment their children.Ask them about their plans for the holidays. Ask if you can helpsomeone who is struggling with bags of gifts. Talk to peopleabout the crowds in the malls. Talk to people about the pricesof goods today. Ask people for their opinion on something youare thinking about buying.

Shopping is a great way for men and women to meet folks who areout and about. Especially in toy stores and books stores. Theseare great places to meet folks who have kids, and are readers.Readers and parents are great MLM prospects.

And retail clerks who are tired and harried are great prospectsto talk to about changing things in 2006.

"Is next year going to be like this year for you working in thisretail zoo? Do the crowds get to you sometimes? Here is my card.You deserve better than this. You have an incrediblepersonality. Would love to chat sometime about getting you outof here."

MLM Success during the holidays is easy and quite fun, if youlet it be. But you must keep your "radar" on to talk to folksand to help anyone who looks like they could need a hand.

"May I give you a hand with that? Here let me help. My name isdoug, what's yours?"

The holiday season is a great time for CONNECTION.

Connect with new people to make new friends and to hold newconversations about the future and 2006.

What a way to start the new year- with 12 new friends that wantto help you in your MLM and Network Marketing business!
