I was hoping to be back on schedule and back to normal by this time, but it just isn't to be. I will have to adjust the time of day that I send out the ezine. I am moving to yet another list provider, but this will be for the best. Please be patient.

I hate to move! I rented a 24 foot truck and we had to borrow a small flat bed trailer with side boards to get almost everything loaded. We did have to leave a few items behind, but it wasn't anything I couldn't live without.

We are looking for a house to buy. We are staying with my sister and it really bites not having my computer up and running. I am working off of diskettes and it makes it a tad difficult at times. I will try my best to continue as close to schedule as possible.

Stay Tuned!!

How To Dispel Anti-MLM Arguments

At times, you'll meet people who you think would be great prospects for joining in your MLM or network marketing opportunity with you. The only problem is they are opposed to the MLM concept and don't want anything to do with one.

So how do you respond to their complaints?

Below is a listing of some of the common argument about MLMs AND more importantly, some good information to combat those arguments.

Argument #1 -- MLMs are just Pyramid Schemes Designed to Rip People Off.

First off, make SURE you are in a REAL MLM that actually accomplishes something because that will be your best argument. You should be making your money from product sales NOT "headhunter fees" or money collected from signing new members. That is questionable and not readily defendable.

A true MLM, however, is simply a distribution system that allows individual people the chance to create income for themselves through the distribution process. It is shaped like a pyramid, yes, but then what distribution system isn't?

A factory that fills several warehouses, then sends products to multiple distribution centers, then out to hundreds of districts, then thousands of stores, and finally millions of consumers still takes on the pyramid shape. That's just how distribution of any product is accomplished.

In an MLM, however, that distribution process pays money directly to as many individuals as can sell product. Now isn't that better for you than the traditional system where all the money stays at the corporate level?

Argument # 2 -- I Don't Want To Have To Push Products On My Friends and Everyone Else I Know

First, ONLY join an MLM that offers products you believe in. Then, you won't be pushing anything, you'll be RECOMMENDING.

Also, think, I mean really think, about all of the times you've recommended movies, foods, drinks, music, doctors, health products, books, restaurants, cars, equipment, appliances, web sites, games, sports, stores, and many other things to your friends and other people that you've met.

You do it all the time, don't you? The only difference is that in an MLM, you get PAID for doing it, and you still are only recommending something that you believe in.

What could be wrong with that?

Argument # 3 -- I Wouldn't Know Who to Talk to About the MLM Opportunity or the Product.

Many people will give you the same argument. "I don't know anybody." Usually, however, if pushed they find they know a LOT more people than they realize. Plus remember, every person you know has a lot of other contacts they will talk to if you first interest them. That's the 'networking' part of network marketing.

As for not knowing who to begin with or how to go about it, that's only because their mind has not yet been pushed to think about such things. First just get prospects to accept the possibility of network marketing or an MLM, then their own thoughts of how they could do it themselves will follow.

Fate, chance, and coincidence are words used by those not thinking ahead to describe the good fortune of those who are. Those who do look to the future describe the same good fortune as results of their efforts.

Argument # 4 -- I Don't Have the Time or the Money

Starting your own business through an MLM or network marketing opportunity is the easiest, least costly, least time consuming way of beginning a business ever made possible. Where else could a person have resources, products, assistance, and support service all in place right from the onset with such a small investment?

As for time, this type of business is excellent simply because it does not require any set hours. Naturally, the more time and effort put into an MLM the better the expected results, but there are no minimum requirements either. If you are too busy with other things, the MLM can go on hold until more time is available. It's the most flexible way of doing business there is.

Certainly these are not all the arguments people have against joining an MLM or network marketing opportunity, but they are among the most common. They are, at least with a good MLM opportunity, completely unfounded as well. Use these explanations to offer answers to your prospects.

Also, email me with any other common arguments you want answered.
