The 5 Pillars Technology – Pillar #5 – A System for Success

Category : 5 Pillars of Success

If you are looking for a company to join or simply want to evaluate the company you are already with, The 5 Pillars technology outlines a simple method to measure any company. Caution: Please do yourself a favor and answer these questions with your critical eye.

A company may have the greatest products and the best pay plan on the planet, but if it is lacking any of the Five Pillars, you could lose EVERYTHING overnight. Your income and Reputation are at stake.

Yesterday we reviewed Pillar #4 – Does the Compensation Plan Pay Part-Timers?

The correct answers to these questions WILL save You years of Failure and Frustration.




Pillar 5: Does your Mentor offer a System for Success that will work for You?

  • The team you join must have a system in place that will work for everyone who uses it.
  • There must be complete resources available; books, videos and audios explaining the system.
  • The system should be designed to Teach The System! Remember, you want to build your business, Not baby-sit it.
  • You must take full responsibility for learning the Skill Set. Your mentor can’t do that for you. – An ‘open’ system will allow you to go upline for clarification and advice.
  • If you don’t see the system working for you right away, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. As in everything we do in life there is a learning curve. Plug in and be patient.
  • Personal development should have a big emphasis in the system. This is a relationship business, the more you know about yourself, the better you’ll relate to your clients and customers.

  • DO NOT MAKE A LIST OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
  • DO NOT BUY LEADS.
  • Purchased leads require salesmanship.

    These methods do not work anymore.

    90% of our population are NOT good salespeople.

    Not only that, most people don’t even like salespeople.

Before choosing a System, get a YES answer to:  “Can I do this?”  and  “Will my Mentor help me?”

Your Mentor’s System Should:
(Ask for a list of those for whom it has worked 3 levels deep)

  • Be a proven System that teaches a full Skill Set, including:
    • Client interface
    • Advertising/Internet know how
    • Behavioral knowledge
    • Mentoring methods
    • Industry History
  • Have Free Skills Training
  • Have an affordable, easy to navigate Back Office, that includes:
    • A complete lead management system
    • eMail and ad copy templates
    • Capture pages combined with an auto-responder
    • Integrated ad tracking and performance comparisons
    • A Help section that makes the Back Office tools easy to understand
  • Keep you Free to build your business. – Stay away from those administrative tasks like building web sites.
  • Allow you to do your own Targeted advertising. Brand Yourself!

Yesterday we reviewed Pillar #3 – Remarkable Product, Reasonably Priced

The correct answers to these questions WILL save You years of Failure and Frustration.




Pillar 4: Does the Compensation Plan Pay Part-Timers?

  • 95% of networkers are part-time people – Make sure that people can make a decent income working a few hours per week.
  • Beware of companies that advertise how many millionaires they have created. – Make sure it’s not at the expense of those “at the bottom”. Everyone should be able to benefit.
  • Take the Comp Plan Test – Ask yourself this question:
    • “How many people do I need on my Team to earn a recurring income check of $500 per month?”
    • There are companies out there that require as many as 500 and as few as 20.
    • It’s not unusual to see well-established companies that require 150 to 350 people and they are still able attract new distributors – Amazing! They must be sold on the product!
    • If your upline won’t or can’t answer this basic question, You should Run.
  • If you are making only 5% to 8% commissions on product, You are being extremely underpaid.
  • If a company stresses “Recruit, Recruit, Recruit!”, You should “Run, Run, Run!”
  • The purpose of any business is moving product from the company to the end-consumer.
  • The majority of your commissions MUST come from product sales; otherwise, it is a SCAM.
  • And if you work a plan that Does Not pay on product volume, somewhere in the process You will lose money!
  • More important: You will lose Credibility Too!

Pillar 3: Does the company have a Remarkable product at a reasonable price?

  • All MLM companies have a good product. But, there are others available that are just as good!
  • It should be competively priced.
  • If the product has both a Retail and a Wholesale price, Your company has a Recruiting business model, STAY AWAY unless You are Red!
  • Warnings:
    • If the product would not sell without the business opportunity attached, it is ILLEGAL.
    • If you can’t pay with a credit card and Must pay by cash or money order, it is ILLEGAL.
    • If distributors collect the money while the company stays at arm’s length, it is ILLEGAL.
    • If you MUST have a Retail Merchant’s account, the company is SCAMMING YOU.
  • When you begin to justify your product to someone, You become a salesperson.

CAUTION: Networking is a relationship business NOT a sales business.

Pillar 2: Has the company passed the “early failure” Time Line? Are the company’s Products timed with the beginning of a massive trend of consumer demand?

  • Beware of “ground floor opportunities” and start-up companies.
    • There should be no rush to get in on the “ground floor”.
    • 99% of companies don’t last two years.
    • If the company is good today, it will be great tomorrow.
  • Most people don’t make money in the first two years while the company is dealing with start-up issues.
  • Profit comes AFTER two years. Join then.
  • Avoid companies which have passed beyond their “momentum phase” and have become household names. (The realistic potential for big growth is gone)
  • Do not join a company with a product that has no profit margin! (i.e – a long distance service or a vinyl record company)

The 5 Pillars Technology – Pillar #1 – Company Management with Integrity

Category : 5 Pillars of Success

If you are looking for a company to join or simply want to evaluate the company you are already with, The 5 Pillars technology outlines a simple method to measure any company. Caution: Please do yourself a favor and answer these questions with your critical eye.

A company may have the greatest products and the best pay plan on the planet, but if it is lacking any of the Five Pillars, you could lose EVERYTHING overnight. Your income and Reputation are at stake.

The correct answers to these questions WILL save You years of Failure and Frustration.


Pillar 1: Does the company management have personal experience building their own networking organization? Have they done it with Integrity?

  • Search Google for the owners of the company.
  • Do the owners have Integrity? Add the word ‘Scam’ to your search.
  • Do the owners have a Corporate background or an in-the-field Network Marketing background?
  • Read your “Policies & Procedures” and “Terms & Conditions”;
    both are part of your Legal Contract.
  • Look for the word “Ongoing”.
  • Look for policies that strike you as “Unreasonable”. Like “Termination, with or without cause”.
  • Ask yourself “Does this contract protect me or the company?” “Is it clear which way it leans?”
  • Does the company charge you for training or a company web site?
  • Does the company charge you for each paycheck they send you?
  • Rules of Thumb:
    • The longer the contract, the greater the possibility that the policies important to you are being hidden in “Legalese”!
    • If it’s a “Cash Only” business…It’s a Scam!
    • If you can buy a position at the top…It’s a Scam!
    • If you are offered a “Special Deal”…the playing field isn’t level for all.
    • If the products are sold on eBay at a greatly reduced price…Buy there instead.
    • If a company is publicly traded, Financial Decisions Will be made in Favor of the Stockholders at the Expense of the Distributors.
  • Check these two websites: www.MLMwatchdog.com and www.MarketWaveInc.com.

Choose a Company for the Long Term

Category : 5 Pillars of Success

Quick cash = quick crash.

Normal people can’t sleep at night when they have ripped off people and stolen their dreams. You have to get this understanding.

Network marketing is a business that can pay you and your children and your children’s children for the rest of their lives – when you build it with a “5 Pillars” company.

For details on a “5 Pillars” company, go to: The 5 Pillars to get our free eBook “Success In 10 Steps”. Pay close attention to Chapter 9.

As a bonus for downloading the eBook, I’ll send you an audio called Five Pillars for Your Success – When Are the Cards Stacked Against You?

But so many people get sucked in to “build it fast.” I just received an email from a very excited lady. She’s in a binary and tells me, “Oh, they put me in a spot where I’ve already got 60,000 people down one leg.”

Awesome!! How much money are you making?

“Well … none, yet!”

And that is because they don’t pay anything on the strong leg. They pay it on the weak leg … which no one will ever give you. You have to build that one. But they’ll promise you all those people on your strong leg, because it doesn’t cost them anything, and many people will just sign up because they don’t know any better.

Don’t fall for the scams. Build for the long-term.

To Your Success! Because Your Success Matters!

In Network Marketing, The Marketing Will Build Your Empire

Category : 5 Pillars of Success, Persistance, Target Marketing

Most people believe that far and away THE #1 reason to choose a Network Marketing company is the product. And even after talking with them a bit, it is a very tough idea to dislodge.

Network Marketing companies must have a great product to compete in today’s market. But it is effective marketing, not a product, that will either build an empire or not. Specifically, you should be searching for a group with an effective, results-producing marketing program in place. So it’s important to give prospects as much evidence as you possibly can that product focus is not what will build them a great income from home.

To have any hope for building a successful Network Marketing business, they have to get this concept. If all they want is a great product, that’s fine. If they don’t care about the money, no problem. They can do whatever the heck they want to do.

But most people – and certainly most of the people your prospect will be talking to about the business – are looking to make money at it. And if you ask even this product-focused prospect, you can pretty much be 100% sure they’ll say, “Well, yeah – I want the money!”

And to do that, you’ve got to have those other 4 Pillars in place – not just the product. So page 14 of the Success in 10 Steps eBook is a very good place to point your prospect to, to make that point and get them headed in the right direction.

To build your own big income in Network Marketing, the people you sponsor will need a constant stream of hot prospects. I can help you do that for them, and for yourself. For details, call me at (215) 268-6696 or hit reply right now and send me your name, phone number, and the best time to call.
