Most networkers do not know how to present their opportunity in network marketing and will never do what I’m about to coach you on.

Sadly, it’s one of the reasons why they suck as presenters.

Heck, I sucked myself for a very long time.

You know my story:

I struggled for 5 years before I got to a full-time income.

Honestly, I was an amateur.

Amateurs make amateur money…

Which is usually ZERO.

I finally wised up and decided to be a pro and it changed the game for me.

There are 50 strategies I could give for that, but today I’ll give you one.

It’s a simple strategy, really. It just takes some time which amateurs are usually never willing to put in.

Most networkers are just too lazy to peel their fannies off the couch to do this.

This strategy is one of the reasons I’ve been able to become a master presenter and become the #1 earner in 3 different companies. It’s also one of the reasons why I can consistently out-sell almost anyone from the stage.

Okay, you ready for it?

My Simple Strategy For Presenting Your Opportunity In Network Marketing

Write out your entire product and opportunity presentation word-for-word.

Then read it out loud at least 10 times.

Not when you have a huge downline, making a ton of money, or just when you need to get on stage.

If you want to be a master at presenting your opportunity in network marketing and top earner, don’t just rely on your upline or company presentations. Know it yourself. Backwards and forwards. Just like the top earners do.

Remember this:

“If poor people would do what rich people do, they would stop being poor.”

In turn,

If amateurs would do what professions do they would stop being amateurs.

When I decided to get a mastery understanding of my product and opportunity and actually take the time to formulate my own presentation – in my own words, my confidence soared.

I never actually memorized my script word-for-word, but because I took the time to write it out and read through it over and over, it made me so much more powerful.

It forced me to come up with benefits that were compelling.

It made me much more persuasive. And it made it so much easier to actually become a presenter from the stage because I had the information so clearly in my head.

Want to peek at my personal recruiting numbers that lead to my team having recruited over 1 million customers?

I’m flying back to Dallas right now from Cali, Colombia after a ROCKING event we did there.

As I was looking through some of my older pieces of training, I found one from when my team recruited over 1 million customers. In that training, I shared my personal recruiting numbers and what that led to.

Take a peek:

In 8 years, I estimate that I personally showed my business to just over 1,000 people.

From those 1,000 I personally sponsored 280.

**Meaning at least 720 told me no.**

Of those 280 that I sponsored, 237 quit.

Leaving me with 43 active after the 8 years.

Of those 43 there were 6 major leaders that had emerged. There were other smaller teams, but here’s the breakdown for the customer counts generated from those six:

• One led to 6,000
• One led to 20,000
• One led to 23,000
• One led to 52,000
• One led to 300,000
• One led to 750,000

When I share this, people tend to think, “How the hell do I find six leaders like THAT?” How did (essentially) 6 leaders lead to a team that recruited over 1 million customers?

I’d love to tell you I have the magic formula for finding these incredible leaders. But the truth is, I had no idea who the 6 were going to be. I only found the 6 because I was willing to sort through the 280 to find them.

The only way I found the 280 was because I was willing to go out and show my business to over 1,000.

And more importantly, I had to be willing to get rejected by the 720!

You see, you don’t create massive success by only finding leaders. You earn a success by getting massive rejection.

Simply put, if you’re not willing to go out and get rejected, you’re not willing to do what it takes to succeed.

The reason I succeeded was because I took insane levels of action and understood that rejection was going to be part of the game… and when I heard, “No. It’ll never work. I don’t have the time. I don’t have the money. Etc”, I had no emotional attachment and simply followed the chorus to my favorite Jay Z song that says, “On to the next one.”

My friend, if you’re looking to build an empire, be ready to always move “On to the next one!”

My Door-to-door sales strategy that allowed me to become the top salesman in my company… at 14

The story I’m about to share with you not only changed the game for me back then, but it’s been one of the single biggest lessons that’s allowed me to crush it in network marketing for almost 20 years now and has allowed me to become the top salesman in multiple companies.

I got my first sales job at 14 selling newspapers door-to-door.

And boy did I suck.

Jimmy was my trainer. He was 16, heavyset (which will matter here in just a moment) and this kid was so good he could sell reading glasses to the blind.

I followed him around for two nights and watched him pitch.

Smooth as silk.

He had no fear, built rapport immediately, flowed right into the presentation and seemed to be able to overcome just about every objection that came up. There was a reason they chose Jimmy to be the trainer.

Then on the 3rd night, it was my turn to go it alone.

I was incredibly nervous but felt I learned enough to become the top salesman for that night.

Door after door after door I screwed it up. I finished the night with a goose egg… that’s right – zero sales.

I remember thinking I would never have what it took to become the top salesman… or even get ONE sale. I almost quit.

But I persisted on and eventually, I got to the point where I could get through the presentations, overcome some objections and in some cases even make some sales.

There were 6-8 of us who they’d pick up in a big van, drop us off in different neighborhoods and then pick us up at the end of the night and we’d tally up everyone’s sales.

They ran a contest each night. Whoever sold the most subscriptions would win some kind of prize. It was usually something like $10 or a gift certificate somewhere.

Each and every night ended up with yours truly being disappointed because I literally NEVER finished #1. I got beat every night by the other kids. (Jimmy won more than anyone else by far)

Well, I may have sucked as a salesman, but I was hyper-competitive even back then. It pissed me off so bad that I got beat night after night I was thinking about how I could possibly win and become the top salesman?

Walking from door-to-door for 3-4 hours a night you have lots of time to think.

It finally hit me.

Jimmy, not being in the best shape, moved pretty slow. I was always a skinny kid and in pretty good shape.

I thought to myself, maybe if I RUN from door-to-door and just talk to more people, I can beat Jimmy.

So that’s exactly what I did. I started sprinting from door to door. Considering that half the people didn’t even answer the door, you can talk to a hell of a lot more people when you run.

And guess what started to happen?

Not every night, but every once in awhile, I would win the nightly top sales award.

I had found a way to become the top salesman for the night!

It felt so good!

Did I become the top salesperson on those nights because I was a better salesperson?

Obviously not.

Jimmy was way better of a salesman than I ever hoped to be.

I beat him, even though in comparison I sucked, simply because I talked to way more people every night.

When I got into network marketing, I sucked just as bad as I did as a newspaper salesman.

If you know my story, you know I struggled for 5 long and painful years. At one point I was homeless and sleeping in my little, red, beat up Honda Civic bathing in gas station bathrooms selling above ground swimming pools.

I may have been a little bit slow, but when I finally decided to get it through my thick skull that it’s simply a numbers game, THEN I started to win.

In the past 19 years, I’ve become the top salesman, the #1 income earner in three companies NOT because I’m the best closer, the best presenter, or the best of anything.

I became #1 because I worked the numbers MASSIVELY.

I got rejected MASSIVELY.

Sure, I’ve learned to master every major skill in our profession, but you can be the very best in the world and you’ll get beat ALL DAY LONG by the person who may have less skill, but is willing to talk to 5 times more people.

If you suck right now, remember this…

What you lack in skill, you make up for in numbers.

On a skill level from 1-10, I don’t care if you’re a 2 or a 3… You can still beat the person who is a 9 or a 10 if you’re willing to talk to 5 times more people.

And don’t worry, if you’re continuing to invest in yourself to learn the skills, you’ll get mastery fast if you’re willing to do the work.

So…

Go do the work.

What a cave taught me about dark times in life…

I recently got back from a rappelling expedition in Belize.

During this expedition, I had the opportunity to explore a cave.

This cave was PITCH black.

No light.

Completely dark.

Luckily, we had lights attached to a helmet we were wearing that lit the way for us.

This experience reminded me…

While traipsing through the cave it made me think about how, in so many cases, we go through a cave in our life (dark times in our life where it seems so black you can’t see the way out).

A little over a decade ago I was $750,000 in debt…

Questioning myself and every decision I made.

I couldn’t eat, sleep or think.

There were days where I’d go to a bar and take out 2-3 vodkas just to get through the day.

I couldn’t see a way out & it was incredibly frustrating.

When I was in that dark period I wish somebody would have told me…

When there’s hope for the future, there’s power in the present.

At the time what I didn’t realize at the time was that there have been MANY people that have made it through dark times their life…

Even darker than what I was experiencing at the time.

So, if you’re going through dark times in life just know…

You’re going to find a way out too.

You just have to keep walking and continue searching.

The process of searching breeds hope.

It’s like the old saying, “When you’re going through hell, don’t stop!”

When I was $750,000 in debt I wanted to curl up and hide…

…But listen, you don’t ever find the light by hiding.

You don’t find the light by staying where you are but you find the light by searching and continuing to walk.

Have hope for the future and bring power to the present.

Keep walking my friend.

Leadership in network marketing

If you missed the last 3 categories for becoming a network marketing pro:

1. Network Marketing – https://www.mattmorris.com/network-marketing-books-to-read/
2. Communication Skills – https://www.mattmorris.com/communication-skills-network-marketing/
3. Belief/Mindset –

This final category for you to become an expert in network marketing should come as no surprise.

No truer statement could ever be said with, “Everything rises and falls based on leadership.”

Government organizations, military units, sports teams, corporations, and yes, YOUR downline rise to success or plummet to failure based on leadership.

There are so many aspects of leadership as it relates to network marketing I could write an entire book about it. (In fact, later this year I will.)

One of the biggest reasons I struggled for 5 years was because I refused to step up as a powerful leader.

When I did, it changed the game for me. In a future blog post, I’ll tell you a story about when I finally decided to man up.

My top book recommendations for cultivating leadership in network marketing

#1.) Launching a Leadership Revolution by Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward
https://amzn.to/36pj5CO

This is not a network marketing leadership book specifically but the authors, Chris and Orrin, were diamonds in Amway and have built huge organizations. The principles outlined here are perfect for network marketing. I have to say this is my favorite leadership book for our profession.

#2.) 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John Maxwell
https://amzn.to/37zIx8L

My mentor recommended this book when I first started working with him. Because I was coachable, I devoured it along with every other recommendation he had. (There’s a big lesson there) The laws outlined in this book are solid gold. I took pages and pages of notes and have been able to use them as a teaching reference for many many years.

#3.) Developing the Leader Within You by John Maxwell
https://amzn.to/2MUGyUu

As you can tell, John Maxwell is one of my favorite authors. His background is in building churches which is all about leading your members to refer to other members so it’s a very similar type of leadership to network marketing.

#4.) Primal Leadership by Daniel Goleman
https://amzn.to/2ZOZppo

One of the most effective traits of powerful leaders is emotional intelligence and the ability to transfer emotion and energy to others.

Goleman is the premiere author for emotional intelligence and this book is the best I’ve seen relating it to leadership. I have to admit, after the first 1/3 of the book, it gets pretty analytical and is a tough read. If you have a super analytical personality, you will LOVE it…

…and if you just can’t get through the last half of the book, the first half itself is worth the read! 🙂

I have to admit, it was REALLY hard to choose just 4… If you’d like some additional recommendations, hop over to https://www.mattmorris.com/top-10-leadership-books-time/ and you’ll see some of the best selling leadership books of all time.

Mastering these 4 areas has been one of the biggest keys to my success and those I’ve been blessed to lead.
