How are you ever going to sell a steak to a vegetarian?

I really feel this is one the biggest mistakes marketers make, when they first join a multi level marketing company. You can have the most tender and seasoned cut of meat, but what are your chances of even giving that steak away for "FREE" if your customers are all vegetarians.

They have no idea how to target their niche at all, they are trying to sell their opportunity to the wrong people, all you doing is creating another problem for that prospect. They are already tapped out from spending countless dollars on wasted advise from their up line.

But if you show them a solution to their problems, then you have their attention and how you direct them will determine many factors, they will either trust you and follow you or they will run for the hills.

Solutions is what most marketers need to become successful, so when we do this we are engaging our efforts at a level they can benefit from. People today want solutions and sound advise from leaders who they can follow and learn the correct formula to achieving success. MLM companies are a dime a dozen on the internet.

Re reading the title and the message it is shouting out, if you learn this you will have a flood of followers who will be willing to join anything you asked them to join. People want to work with leaders, why they are looking for, is a system they can also believe and pass it down to their down line.

      Because the person that posted it isn't aware of where his target audience is.

        An amusing irony, isn't it?

            I think you've missed the point. You see, you post in the OT about targeting the right audience. That's a business post, more suited for the main forum. We come to the OT to get away from business, to relax and lounge.

            No harm intended, just having a little fun with my OT pals.

        See that is a good point, but l got what l needed a reply, perhaps it is... but at the same time did you actually see the tree or did you see the forest.......

        it's OK, l know what you seen ......... deal with it the way you see fit.. not really going to upset me at all.........

        The only question is what are your "why's" l know mine..

        mind set is the ticket.. one day you will learn this..once again thanks for the reply..

    I really hate doing MLM. Tried it, can't stand receiving it, can't stand giving it. It does work for a few folks, I know (very few).

    I don't mean to trash the post that started this thread. It is an excellent overall description on the art of marketing. "MLM" kind of set me off on my rant, sorry about that.

    hey no worries, l accept all feed back after all this is the "Off Topic Forum" l really could not illustrate a better group to post this review... See, instead of getting all bent out of shape, over it... think of what the message is ...

    We as humans spend more energy and the why's it will not work, instead of benefiting the message and applying the teaching... l guess... just not for everyone.... to understand and make it work.. the key here is a simple one, really is..

    "Think about it".... anyhow some article that gives you a lick and promise makes more sense... why you make what you make today.. spend too much energy on the wrong "Whys in Life"...

    so far the only stat here is my CTR.... like it so far.... there is no magical dust, in any industry... it is a combination of dedication, feed back and applying what you learn.... what good is something if you do not apply it!!!!

    Hope that makes sense..... all good....
