Getting back to the basics of what building your business is really about- Presentations and Asking "Are you ready to get started?". Our Team Leader always says to us "Do 3-5 Presentations per day and that means from Hello to Are you ready to get started. Beautiful Advice.
I wish more of the guru's out there would focus on the actions that will actually help us all build our business instead of us paying to build theirs. 
Thank you so much! |

What you call "attraction marketing" is nothing new. Many of us have been doing it for years. The only reason it looks new to some people is because a.) they're newbies to the industry, b.) they've never heard the term before and think it's something new or c.) they haven't been around long enough to notice that most of the people preaching "attraction marketing" are actually not making any money.
Seriously.
Because, when I look at the landscape of the industry, I see a lot of people presenting themselves as experts; shooting videos; writing articles; giving themselves brand-names (Yesterday, I saw a guy on Facebook who calls himself "John ______, the Greatest Networker Alive". Another lady is calling herself "The MLM Cheerleader" with some picture from her glory days as a highschool cheerleader on her website.)
The problem with most of these people (most, not all).....is that these people are spending so much time trying to convince everyone that they're a coach, guru, expert, trainer or leader that they don't realize they're missing something.
What are they missing? RESULTS! A track record! A successful experience! The experience of actually earning a large income!
There's a difference between people who pose as leaders and experts....and those who have actually earned a large income in network marketing and are showing others how to do it.
SHOULD one "brand" oneself? Maybe.
SHOULD one be willing to teach what they know to others? Absolutely.
SHOULD a person be writing articles, recording videos, etc.? I guess...if you like that kind of thing.
But, what one should NEVER do is to sit around and pretend to be something they're not.....and to try to teach something that they've never successfully done themselves.
Amateur advice has always been easy to get. Today, though, it's just flashier and more convincing. But, at the end of the day, these are the same personality types that used to park their beat-up Datsun around the corner from the hotel meeting, walk in with a fake Rolex and the only suit they own.....and pretend to be ultra-successful in an effort to get other people to join.
Again, I know not everyone is doing this. But, when I look at the people who are screaming "attraction marketing", I can't seem to find many of them that are actually making any money.
So...forgive some of us if we don't jump on the AM bandwagon. Some of us dig a little deeper than appearances before we buy into the latest fad.
I hope that assists,
Tony

Thank You Tony,
There's no telling how many have been hurt by those that are posing as those in the know.
I love the video as well
