Whether you are a newbie or not do yourself a big favor and leverage off the superstars. Today I was listening to a conference call done by my good friend and mentor Ken Klemn. This exclusive example that he gave of Michael Dlouhy our good friend and mentor putting a picture of him and Tom Big Al Schrieter on the landing pages hit the nail on the head. Back on December 12, 2004 the e-book Success In Ten Steps came out online. Michael Dlouhy then was not known. To make himself known on his blogs and on the articles that he did, he put the picture on it for edification due to the fact that Tom Big Al Schrieter was a legend in the industry. I have taken pictures with Tom Big Al Schrieter as well as Jerry DiRhino Clark, just to leverage off of them. Leveraging off the legends like those two guys as well as Art Jonak tells everyone that this guy does not have to be the expert but he can lead me too them. It is the rainbow connection. Here is the line of the song, "Someday we'll find it the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me." Usually the word someday means never but many struggling network marketers never knew that their lack of success in this industry is not their fault. Thanks to my good friend and Mentor Michael Dlouhy!!!
Michael Dlouhy is a visionary because he had done consulting for other network marketing companies after using the five pillars and he wanted others to avoid struggling for good. So he has been teaching networkers online for the past 6 years and built other mentors from that. He also applied the principle of John Maxwells book title Developing The Leaders Around You.
I myself leverage off of Michael when I speak to a new prospect like this. Michael Dlouhy had built from nothing to number one in his network marketing company in just 32 months by using the Mentoring For Free System. He had joined over 100 companies in the late ninties to determine what works and what does not work. Michael has done full time income for the last 18 years and he has been for 30 years in the network marketing industry. He never made a list of his friends and family and he never bought leads.
Remember this story just like the lyrics of the song Lean On Me by BB King. "Just call on me brother when you need a hand, we all need somebody to lean on I just might have problem that you might understand we all need somebody to lean on." Always include stories in your conversations with prospects no matter if you are gathering a few customers or finding brilliant leaders to work with. People forget what they hear but they will always remember a story that changed someones lives. I learned from Keith Schrieter that all the songs are stories and people do not forget the lyrics of the songs so therefore stories sell and are not forgotten either!!!
