.Why Networkers Are
Throwing in the Towel on Downline Building, And Using a New Concept
Called G.P.T. to Make More Money Than Ever…
Location: Starbucks,
1:47 PM. Subject: "The Painful
Truth... "
If you're looking
to achieve financial freedom from home, specifically through a "MLM"
or network marketing opportunity, you're in for a rude awakening my
friend.
If you're already in
that trench, fighting with every breath you've got for much less
money than it's worth, it's not your fault... The times have
changed.
What we're about to
share with you right now may anger some, but will help countless
others.
You see, the industry
is changing rapidly and the purpose of this “Coffee House Letter” is
to warn you, or at least make you aware of some very unsettling
insights that need your immediate attention if you plan to
make more than $10,000/mo in from home in 2006 and
beyond.
Whatever you do, read
this document thoroughly. We took out every sentence that wasn't
relevant to keep the length as short as possible, so if it's in
these pages, consider it information that is absolutely
vital.
Now we're going to go
ahead and assume that you’re either pursuing a home business of some
kind right now, or that you have pursued one in the past. If you’re
in neither group, then consider yourself extremely fortunate, as the
information in this letter will save you years of blood, sweat,
tears, and money.
So what's going
on?
Well, in a nutshell,
the promises of old-school MLM and “life-long” residual income are
all but dead for the average person. They have been cut down at the
knees by an unlikely culprit whom I’ll reveal to you in a
minute.
I know you’ve seen the
symptoms. In fact, I guarantee they are plaguing your
organization at this very moment… But what you might not
understand or give proper respect to is the cause behind
them.
My
Questions to You Are These:
Is your organization
being depleted by constant attrition?
Is your downline full
of complaining reps who need constant hand-holding?
Are you
tired of working your tail off for a few hundred or few thousand
dollars when you feel like you should be making ten times more for
your efforts?
Sick of the "gotcha" comp plans that cut your
check in half with the "get 3, who get 3, who get 3", structure
requirements?
I hear
you friend… And You’re not
the only one.
Right now, network
marketing is in a struggle to find itself in a time where people
leave as fast as they join, the cost to sign a new rep has
sky-rocketed, and when “newer, bigger, and better” dominates the
landscape which basically means…
Trying To Build A Downline In The Internet Age Is Like
Trying To Fill A Leaking Bucket.
You can get ahead of
the curve for a while if you have the time, money, and energy, but
it’s only a matter of time before it will drain dry.
Yes, it's
a brave new world for network marketers, but fear not…
In an industry where
hype and the pre-launch have become the norm, a growing trend is
quickly gaining popularity with professional networkers who are sick
of the 3-ring circus MLM has become.
It’s
A Concept Called G.P.T., And It’s Going To Play A Major
Role In Networking From This Point Forward.
No, G.P.T. is not a
company. It’s not an opportunity, and it’s not a product or system
of any kind.
It’s an answer. A
solution to tiny checks, leaking downlines, and the “quick turn”
mentality that has taken over MLM.
It will allow
you to put tens-of-thousands of dollars of cash into your
pocket in weeks and months… Not years. But the best part about
G.P.T., is that you won’t even have to build a downline.
MLM
as You Know it is Dead… And the Internet Killed
It.
Network marketing has
always been based on the idea of working for 3-5 years and building
a life long residual income that you can will to your
grandkids.
Sounds
good…
And it may have been
true at one time, but not today. Not anymore.
Now, now… I’m not
insane.
I promise.
Let me show you what I
mean by such a (true) statement...
Stand with me for a
moment atop our private mountain, and look out over the entire
network marketing industry…
It’s not pretty, but
in one word here is what you’ll find:
Incest.
A finite group of
people who are traded like cattle from one company to another every
9 to 12 months.
They were once called
junkies, but the infection has spread to people above that
description.
Network Marketing has
become obsessed with “timing”, “pre-launches”, and “the next big
thing”, but the cause behind that obsession is what truly scares me.
I’ll explain why shortly, but all you need to realize is
that…
Pandora’s Box has been
opened and we will never be able to close it.
Why? What’s causing
this gruesome condition?
The
Answer Is Simple…
The number of new
people coming into MLM each year is now drastically out of
proportion with the number of new company start ups.
Thousands of new MLM’s
launch every year thanks to the internet. You can literally start
your own company from your bedroom if you want.
But there are only so
many people to go around.
Welcome to the world
of the Pre-Launch. A company’s only chance to catch the attention of
networkers, and steer them away from their current opportunity with
the promise of “getting in on the ground floor.”
Before you know it,
the game has started AGAIN. This time around a company that promises
to be the biggest and best with their new patented Wonder Vitamin
2000 that will change the world.
Networkers inevitably
flock to it by the ten’s of thousands trying to “get in on
top”.
And if they don’t, it
doesn’t matter because another shiny new MLM will launch in about
9-12 months, and when it does, and the music stops, the people at
the bottom scramble to find their seat in the chain, destroying
their old company from the bottom up in the process.
This has resulted in a
vicious cat fight between these companies over a dwindling supply of
warm bodies, complete with name calling, back-stabbing, and an
endless supply of lawsuits.
Make no mistake about
it… In network marketing, people are the commodity that is traded,
and YOU are very valuable.
The
“B-Zone” is Gone and Took Your Residual Income With It!
Before the internet,
organizations and companies were protected by an information buffer
zone which shielded them from this onslaught of people, opinions,
competitors, and ads.
It’s this buffer zone
that allowed relationships to be built, skills to be learned, and
loyalties to strengthened.
But the internet
destroyed it in the blink of an eye.
It happens all the
time...
You're sitting pretty
on top of a fairly large organization. You think you've finally
found that "residual" pot of income gold at the end of the rainbow.
You're making about
$20,000 a month. You quit your job 5 months ago, bought a new house,
that new sports car you've always wanted, and paid off all your
debt.
Life is good...
Then one day, the
company changes their compensation plan just a little bit.
One of your leaders is
NOT happy about it. They decide to move to another company, and with
one click of a mouse... With one single email to his list of a few
thousand recipients upline, downline and side-line... He basically
destroys dozens of people's businesses, cutting their checks in half
or even worse... Including yours.
The income you're
relying on to pay the mortgage, invest for retirement, and put your
kids through school literally vanishes overnight.
If something similar
to this scenario hasn't happened to you yet... It
will.
It's a sobering
thought when you realize that your lively-hood in an MLM business is
completely dependent upon strangers you've never met.
You don't know their
long-term plans. You don't know about their family problems, and you
don't know what they'll do next, yet your check is dependent upon
them and thousands of others just like them because you simply
cannot earn a full-time living on your own personal efforts with an
MLM compensation plan. It's not designed for that.
This wasn't a problem
in the past, but it is today.
You see, the internet
is a tool that allows communication at a level that has never been
seen by the world before, where opinions, rumors, promotions, and
advertisements can now spread across the globe faster than you can
blink your eye.
Massive revenues can
be gained or lost in days for a company with nothing more than a
well placed negative opinion report on the search
engines.
Downlines can be
destroyed overnight by false rumors or leaders who jump ship.
Distributors have
instant access to an endless supply of tools, systems, leaders,
training, opinions, and sales pitches which continuously plant seeds
of doubt, and distract them with promises of better, faster, and
easier.
Competing ads can be
flaunted on the very door-step of a company’s search engine
results.
And
There’s Nothing You Can Do About It.
The very moment your
new distributor feels frustration… Feels trapped… Feels failure… He
or she will instantly open up to the endless supply of alternatives
filling their inboxes on a daily basis with the very thing that will
cure their pain – and ‘poof’, they are gone.
There is no long-term
commitment because networkers are only as loyal as his or her
options, and thanks to the internet, their options are now endless
and one click away.
If you’re
a leader in the industry, you know exactly what I’m talking about
and from this point forward,
it’s never going to stop.
For better or worse,
this is the new reality of network marketing.
How
The Game Is Played Today:
The first and most
critical observation to note is that the very economics of MLM
are changing. The cost of sponsoring a new rep in the cold
market continues to spiral upward, while the actual return and “life
time value” of that rep continues to decline.
We are faced with the
fact that…
-
Full page ads in an
industry magazine that cost $500 eight years ago, now costs
$3,000.
-
Email marketing is
dead, and the ability to advertise in a massive, targeted, and
affordable way died with it.
-
You will be forced
to recruit everyday for the lifespan of your business just to
combat the constant attrition that will plague your
organization.
-
The all important
practice of retailing has become taboo, putting 90%+ of the focus
and attention of the business on recruiting instead of customer
acquisition which is where the long-term, stable money is
found.
-
The industry holds less and less appeal to the white
collar business professional who has a hard time seeing how
he/she’s going to quickly replace a six-figure income peddling
vitamins and fruit juice.
-
Systematic team training has become next to
impossible as new systems pop up from different leaders within the
same company every 30 days, which promise to be the answer for the
struggling newbie.
-
Instead of focusing on the development of personal
skills and a single system, an “I’ll try this for a few weeks”,
lottery mentality for lead sources, websites, and magical tools
that will “build the business for you”, has taken over.
So
What Now?
Well that’s the
million-dollar question isn’t it?
You know… I have to be
honest. There is no right or wrong answer.
It really all depends
on what you personally want out of your business, and if
you’re willing to deal with the negatives that come with an MLM
these days.
If you’d like to build
a new business every 9-24 months… Hey… Go for it. There’s LOTS of
money to be made quickly in MLM right now. It’s just not going to
last anywhere near as long as it used to and you’ll probably find
your business receding just as fast as it grew.
As for us, that kind
of merry-go-round has no appeal because we've cut through the hype
and come to a sobering conclusion...
It does’t matter what
company you build in MLM. You're going to face the same challenges
we just mentioned above in all of them. The industry itself
had changed, and you're never going to find a single product or
compensation plan that will fix it.
No…
I’m sorry to say, but
the promise of life-long residual income is all but gone. There’s
the rare 1 in 1000 exception, but as a whole, Network Marketing has
turned into a 3-ring circus of “quick-turn” building driven by
greed, hype, and fear of loss where only the true, incredibly
skilled professionals can reliably make any significant amount of
money.
We're tired of the
jumping, the attrition, the rumor control, the baby-sitting, having
to explain why one opportunity is better than another. Dealing with
prospects who think $300 to start a business is too much money…
Seriously…
It’s just not worth
our time, it’s not fun, and we know for a fact that a quickly
growing list of industry professionals are coming to the same
conclusion which is opening the door to the concept of
G.P.T.
If
You’d Like To Make More Money Faster Without The Financial Risks
Of A Downline, G.P.T Is The Answer You’ve Been Waiting
For.
It’s actually been
around a few years already, but G.P.T. is quickly becoming
THE solution for the challenges facing network marketers in
the internet age.
G.P.T.
stands for: “Get Paid Today”,
which is a concept that summarizes the growing change of focus in
the MLM industry from a long-term residual income, to
immediate leveraged
income.
The
Premise Of Get Paid Today Is Simple:
If networkers are
going to bounce around from program to program… If competing
companies are going to advertise on your front door with a
“better/cheaper” product, and if the cost of sponsoring a new rep
continues to soar, then the answer is simple:
Get paid a year or
more worth of residuals on Day One no matter what happens.
Look…
-
In the age of the internet, distributors come and go
like the wind, so Get Paid Today.
-
“Bigger and better” opportunities launch every six
months, taking a piece of your downline with it, so Get Paid
Today.
-
Money is worth more in your pocket today than it is
next year, so Get Paid Today and invest that cash into real
residual income streams outside the MLM circus like real-estate or
the market.
-
It costs more than ever to advertise and sponsor a
new rep, so Get Paid a year or more of residual income
Today, instead of waiting for the $5.00 commissions to roll in
over months or years.
-
Most networkers are only employee minded people
pretending to be entrepreneurs, which means they'll rarely do what
it takes to be successful, so Get Paid Today for your time
and training whether they build a business or
not.
-
White collar professionals aren’t interested in
working 3-4 hours a night selling vitamins for a $500 - $1,000
check, so offer them a vehicle that they can Get Paid
Today, and realistically make $10,000/mo within just 5 to 10
customers a month.
-
Building a MLM that pays out $10,000 per month
requires building a downline of thousands. Get Paid Today
and make $10,000 with just 10 customers or less.
Do you see how profound
this concept is in today’s MLM environment? How it solves all of the
problems network marketers are facing?
This compressed and
rapid flow of income also brings the dream of “working from home” to
reality in a realistic manner for the average
person.
G.P.T. Models Are Currently Found
In “Top Tier” Opportunities.
We call them “Top Tier”
because of the caliber of people they attract, and the high-level
incomes they can produce compared to traditional MLM.
Most, (but not all),
are characterized by a “Two-Up” compensation plan, a product or
service that is retailed in the $1,500-$2,000 range, and pay out a
$1,000+, up-front commission on the sale of that product or
service.
One of the primary
objections made by networkers against Get Paid Today, Top Tier
programs is that there’s no residual income.
But
Is That True?
Well as this business
model develops, residual income has been integrated into several
compensation plans already, but there's another angle that needs to
be considered regardless of that...
When you
make a $1,000 commission, it's like you’re getting paid a year’s
worth of residuals up front on Day One with a product
purchase, whether the new
rep goes on to build a business or not.
How large of an
organization would you have to build in order to make $4,000/mo in a
traditional MLM?
500? 700? 1,500?
2,500?
Pick a number and then
double it because 50% of your people will cancel their product
orders within 3 months.
What will you do when,
(not if), one of your leaders walks out for another deal and takes
half your team with them overnight?
We all know darn well
that only 1 in 500+ will ever go on to build a team of over 500
reps, yet we’re all selling an “easy way to work part-time and
replace your full-time job”.
B.S.
You know it. I know
it.
How many customers
would you need in a Top Tier program to make $4,000/mo…?
Drum roll please…………
4.
One customer a week to
make an extra $48,000 a year, and that doesn’t even figure in the
leverage of the actual compensation plan which can multiply that
number by a factor of 10 or $480,000 per year with
just 1 new customer per week. (We'll actually show you these numbers
in detail in just a few minutes).
That my friends, is an
honest sell when you offer to provide someone with a vehicle to
replace their income.
The bottom line is
that in today’s MLM environment, you must make enough from your
personal activity to justify your time and involvement, because
you’ll just continue to spend more money than you make if you
don't.
That
leads us to another important consideration when it comes to
"residual income"...
Get
Paid Today Because That Money Is Worth More Today.
Consider this for a
moment…
Let’s say that you
work your tail off for a year and build up an MLM business that paid
you an average of $3,000 a month residually for the next 3 years.
That’s a total payout of $108,000 paid out over 3 years. This will
never happen because you'll experience attrition and that check will
shrink each month, but we'll go ahead and stick with that number
anyway to keep things simple.
So $3,000/mo for 3
years... Not bad, but is that really the smartest route to
go?
Or would it be better
to work a business that paid out all $108,000 in the first 12 months
without the “residual”?
I think so…
Why? Because that
money is worth more today than it will be in 3 years.
Now you can take that
$108,000 and invest it in REAL, long-term residual assets like
real-estate, mutual-funds, stocks, etc…
I’d rather have
$108,000 invested into real-estate or a mutual fund than siphon off
$3,000 a month for 3 years (especially when I know that money can
disappear over night if one of my leaders jumps ship).
Heck, if you want the
“illusion” of residual income, take the $108,000 made in 12 months,
put it into a money market account, and then instruct your bank to
transfer $3,000 of it into your checking account each
month.
No disappearing
downline or dipping sales volume to worry about, and at least you
can make some interest on it for a few years.
Get
Paid Today. Why wait on $5 Mickey Mouse commissions to
drip in when you have no idea how long it will last? Get a year or
more of that money up front on Day One, and then do some real damage with it outside
MLM.
Which Costs More: A Top Tier Opportunity, Or
Traditional MLM?
The second common
objection to Top Tier programs is the start-up costs are “too
high”.
Actually, they are
much less expensive than a traditional supplement based MLM. The
average start-up cost and monthly auto-ship order for a traditional
MLM is about $200. That comes out to $2,500+ a year when you factor
in taxes and shipping.
A Top Tier program is
usually a one time expense. One time, and you’re done.
By the time you hit
your third year in traditional MLM, you’ve spent over $7,500 on
vitamins you could have purchased for 70% less at a local
store!
Holy smokes! So if
you've been in MLM about seven years now, you’ve spent over $17,500
on products! Ouch!
Yet, your total cost
for a Top Tier after seven years would have never gone passed the
average $1,500 cost of the product or service.
But, we’re not done
yet…
There is
another benefit to Top Tier programs. It’s not very obvious
at first, but something you will come to appreciate if you don't
already…
Work
With Experienced Peers And Keep Your Business
FUN!
Are you at a point in
your MLM career where you just feel burnt out working with people
who are brand new to the industry? The one’s who “claim” they want
to be financially free but as soon as you mention the start-up cost
they start making excuses?
Has your downline
turned into a massive pool of people who blame you for the fact that
they bought a website and some product but aren’t rich
yet?
Or has
the FUN been stripped from your work at home dreams because all you
do is spend your time dealing with whiners, complainers, and excuse
makers for much less money
than it’s worth?
Well
One Perk Of A Top Tier Opportunity, Is That It Attracts Top
Tier People.
Who you work with is
completely up to you, so work with the highest caliber of people
possible:
Peers! Professionals!
Do’ers! People who make things happen, not excuses.
It makes all the
difference in the world when you get to spend your time recruiting
and working with people who are just like you. They love this
industry, and they don’t need any convincing.
They already know an
investment is required and have no problem with it because they are
true entrepreneurs.
Top Tier opportunities
attract this type of person because the initial start-up cost scares
away the time-wasting, tire-kickers faster than you can blink an
eye!
Wouldn’t you like to
just work with experienced entrepreneurs? People who don’t whine,
complain, constantly make excuses, or need you to hold their hand
24/7?
Peers who speak and
build with self confidence.
People who don’t
“need” money or want you to "save" them, but people who have a track
record of success and who want a better vehicle to invest their
time, money, and efforts into?
With Top Tier
opportunities, you don't have to work with thousands or
tens-of-thousands to make incredible money.
You
only need to work with a handful.
Top
Tier Opportunities Pay Out Serious Incomes, So They Attract
People Who Like To Make Serious Money
We'll assume that
you’re an experienced networker who knows what they’re doing.
You know how to
advertise. You have good communication and phone skills. You work
diligently on your business everyday, and you’re a leader to your
team…
And how’s it working
out so far?
$50,000/mo checks
showing up yet? Do you have the new Mercedes in the drive way? Are
you flying First Class and sleeping 5-Star? Do you take a cab from
the airport to the company convention or a helicopter?
Probably
not, and it’s not because you aren’t capable or deserving of that
kind of success. It’s just that you’re working a 2nd tier
opportunity that pays out less money for the same amount of
work, and attracts people whose goal is to earn $300 - $5,000 a
month… Not $30,000 to $100,000 per month.
We all have the same
number of hours in a day so why not use them in a business that pays
out BIG instead of small when it doesn't require any more time or
effort?
You become as
successful as the people you surround yourself with, so why not work
with people who truly live lives of luxury instead of people who
drive around in mini-vans with “Lose Weight Now, Ask Me How”
stickers on the window?
I don’t know about
you, but my partners and I got into this industry to earn a massive
and stable income, yet we're faced with the fact that
traditional MLM just isn’t the opportunity it used to be.
So If this G.P.T.
model makes sense to you...
If you're ready to find a business that will
allow you to make $10,000 to $50,000 month within weeks or months
instead of years without the risks or headaches of a downline, then
we'd like to invite you to continue to the next page where you'll
have an opportunity to meet one of the fastest growing organizations
in the Premier Top Tier business in the
