View Full Version : The Power of Duplication

I've tried a few other MLM-type businesses. One was a coffee business that I was actually doing very well with - until the company went under! smileys/smiley5.gif I've tried Amway (haven't we all?) and cosmetics (again - haven't we all??). And now I am here and thrilled to be here!
With the coffee business, we were automatically shipped 2 lbs of coffee each month and sponsored others into the business who did the same. Sound familiar?
So I advertised in local newspapers "Have Your OWN Specialty Coffee Business", and invited respondants to my home for a coffee chat. There I showed them the power of duplication.
What's that you ask?
Well how about I ask you which would you rather have: $1,000,000 or one penny - which doubles everyday for a month?
Most people say they want the $million. Those who understand the power of duplication take the penny.
Here's why:
day 1 - $0.01
day 2 - $0.02
day 3 - $0.04
day 4 - $0.08
day 5 - $0.16
day 6 - $0.32
day 7 - $0.64
kind of slow huh?
day 8 - $1.28, day 9 - $2.56, day 10 - $5.12, day 11 - $10.24, day 12 - $20.48, day 13 - $40.96, day 14 - $81.92, day 15 - $163.84
now it gets interesting ...
day 16 - $327.68
skip ahead to
day 20 - $5242.88
day 25 - $167,772.16
day 30 - $5,268,708.80
That's $5.2 MILLION - from one cent. That's the power of duplication.
This coffee business paid us $1.00 per month for every referral 12 levels deep. I'd ask the prospects how much they realistically wanted to make with the business and most would reply $3000-$4000 a month. So they needed 3-4000 people in their downline. Sounds totally out of reach, doesn't it? Just the thought would scare people out of their boots!
But then I would askif they felt they could sponsor just ONE person a month, for one year, into the business. Almost all thought that was a very reachable goal. Suddenly it didn't seem so overwhelming. But it also didn't look like they would reach their monatary goal with just one referral a month.That's when I hit them with the next example- which would create a team ofthousands!
How?
Again, the power of duplication.
If you sponsor just one person a month in the COTM and teach them to do the same, your business will literally double every single month. Like the example shown above, it's slow going for the first while. But then something really interesting happensand your team takes off. Like this:
month 1 - 2 members(you and your 1 referral)
month 2 - 4 members (you refer 1 more & so does your 1st referral)
month 3 - 8 members (everyone refers one more COTM)
month 4 - 16 members
month 5 - 32 members
month 6 - 64 members
month 7 - 128 members
month 8 - 256 members
month 9 - 512 members
month 10 - 1024 members
month 11 - 2048 members
month 12 - 4096 members
Now this would be paying 12 levels deep and MB doesn't pay that deep. But just think of the income from sponsoring a single COTM each month, and teaching them to do the same. It's simply amazing with our incredible pay structure.
Plus you would be a Diamond Distributor.
It's not overnight, but it's realistic and attainable.
Feel free to show your team members this little ditty.
Oh I am sooooo ready for this business!

So true!
When you find the right strong company and support team and great consumable products, there is something to be said for real duplication aka leverage.
I am now getting paid on six levels in Mia Bella.
Mia Bella is an incredible way to create personal and financial freedom for you and your family!
Have a Scent-Sational Thursday Everyone!

I would like to share a quote from J. Paul Getty (who is a billionaire).. he said:
"I'd rather have 1% of one hundred men's efforts then 100% of my own"
Love the power of duplication!! Everyone just doing a little bit... it's so simple smileys/smiley2.gif
