Mentoring for Free Success Story
"No matter what company you're with, whether you join my business or not, you can get on Michael's live training for free, 5 nights a week. You can listen in when he calls prospects and hear what he says. He never puts pressure on anyone. He'll email you his script. It's the best possible training for a new person. And all your people can do the same thing.
"Michael gives you a duplicatable system. We can show you how to use these tools he's created to build YOUR business, no matter what company you're with."
Judith May's MLM Success Story
Florida - I ask, "Do you have support in your company?" And some say, "Well, yeah, I've got a great mentor. But they're never there when I need them." Or "Yeah, they're there, but they're not helping me. They're not providing any training. I need help on advertising, and they don't know."
Well, we do a training that helps people with advertising. And I'm there to help them, too. I tap into all these trainings. I get all the advertising information from Dave Cones, from Michael, from Scott Thompson. And I use that when I talk to prospects.
So they see I'm there, I'm real, I'm helping them. I tell them exactly what to do, whether they're in my group or not. They thank me by email. They call to talk with me and thank me."
My Family
I have 2 boys, one is 5, the other is 7. My 5-year-old starts kindergarten next week. They're into T-ball.
Before the boys, I cooked in restaurants for 15 or 20 years. I did barbecue, hotels, motels, mom and pop restaurants. I enjoy cooking. I like providing good service to people. I used to waitress, too. I've always believed in helping others.
My husband works in a petroleum field. He puts in gas stations, back-up generators for hospitals, He's been doing that for 30 years. He's had his skin cancers from being out in the sun. It's time to bring him home.
$25,000 In Debt In a Hurry
So I was a stay-at-home mom and needed to create some income at home before my youngest son started school. I didn't want to have to go to work for anybody.
I got into network marketing nearly 2 years ago, with a very well-known, established company. They had a pretty excessive monthly commitment to buy product.
Plus I did lead wheels, spending $200 a month for 40 leads. And I did 1.2 million classified ads weekly. So between that and the product, I went about $25,000 in debt.
And then I was trying to figure out why I couldn't do it. I felt like such a failure.
Michael is SO Valuable!
Then a year ago, I answered RoisAnn's ebook ad. I read that and called her. I talked to Michael. I told him I was $25,000 in debt, I had no more money for advertising, and I was looking for answers. I wanted to know why it wasn't working for me.
And he told me it wasn't working because the compensation plan didn't work for me. He explained why. It made sense.
The education I've gotten just from tapping into the training is remarkable. I'm on just about every one of the calls. I hear it over and over again until it's drilled in. I can pretty much tell you what's going to be on each call now. They've even had me host a couple of the Business Briefing calls. It's great experience.
With my first company, most of the leads were just curious, not serious. I had no support from that company as far as 3-way calls. I actually had to talk to people. That sounds strange, but when you're totally new, it's a huge challenge.
That's one thing that makes Michael so valuable. No matter what company you're with, you can get on Michael's live training for free, 5 nights a week. You can listen in when he calls raw prospects and hear how he interacts with them. You'll hear that he never puts any pressure on anyone. He'll email you his script.
It's the best possible training for a new person. And then all your people can do the same thing. All of a sudden, you have a duplicatable system.
My Business Is Building
Now I talk to qualified people. I learned from Michael not to sell them. I give them directions to get on the training calls. I help some of them with their advertising. I do just the free stuff, but it's all in your ad copy. I try to explain that to them. I give them some ideas of what to say.
People are looking for mentoring. I have one ad where I get 5 or 6 good leads a day, name & phone number. I even get leads from Australia and Singapore and the Philippines, all over. So I get better leads now - and more of them - than when I was paying $200 a month. And I created this myself, so they're free.
And I find that the ones that are really serious, no matter where they are or what time it is, they will set their alarm clock to get on Michael's calls. We had a guy from Australia on the call the other night. They make that commitment.
That's what it's about. That's what I'm looking for: people who are serious and willing to make that commitment.
I've learned from Michael not to mess around with the tire-kickers. If they're not serious, this isn't for them. When we talk and they say, "Well, I'll try to get on the call." Or, "I'll get to it next week." And then when I call next week to follow up, "Oh, no, I still haven't had a chance."
"Well, that's OK. This probably isn't for you. When you get time, when you're serious, look over that information. You call me."
And that's the way I go about it.
I used to say, "It's free, it's free. I'll sign you up for free!" And all you wind up with is a whole list of people who aren't doing anything. I just don't have time to waste on people who aren't serious. I have 2 boys. I go to their ballgames & school events. I work around their schedule. If somebody's serious and I see that they need me, they've got my cell phone number. I take it with me, and I make time for them.
Here's What Makes Michael Different
Michael is awesome. He can be hard. But the reason he's hard is to get the point across to you. As he says, he's got very broad shoulders himself. If there's something I don't like of what he's doing, I can always call him and say, "Why did you do it this way?" I can question him. He can understand it.
He's a great inspiration to me. He's totally turned my life around. I guess that's what I was looking for, somebody to be hard on me. He's a REAL mentor.
My other company, somebody would say, "You're not doing enough." And I'd say, "OK." But if Michael says that, I listen. It's the sincerity of his voice, the understanding. He's hard enough to get you to think about what you need to do to be successful. There's something about him I can't really put into words. But when he talks, you listen.
And by applying what he has taught me, my business has increased. I'm getting more qualified people.
Some people find it hard to believe when I tell them about Michael and what he's done and what the whole team is about. They can't believe there's a team out there actually helping people. So all I do is direct them to the training calls and the Coaches Corner call.
I had a gentleman on the Coaches Corner call this past weekend who was totally blown away. It's something he's been looking for for quite some time. He knows what business I'm in, but I strictly talked to him about coaching him and mentoring him in what he's doing. He appreciates that. I don't pressure anyone.
The teaching and mentoring that Michael provides for everybody, I have learned and can pass on to my people. And to people who aren't even in my company. It's wonderful.
And people in my group are doing the same thing. That gets me excited! "Hey! It works!"
It Comes Down To Belief
Michael instill bulletproof belief in you. My belief is back up there where it belongs. I'm coming out of debt. I have income every month. So I know it's working.
I'm happy and very honored to be a part of this. I'm really thankful they came into my life, both of them, RoisAnn and Michael.
I tell people, whether you join my business or not, Michael has made these tools available for people in any company. We can show you how to use these tools Michael has created to build YOUR business, no matter what company you're with.
I ask, "Do you have support in their company?" And some say, "Well, yeah, I've got a great mentor. But they're never there when I need them." Or "Yeah, they're there, but they're not helping me. They're not providing any training. I need some help on advertising, and they don't know."
Well, we do a training that helps people with advertising. And I'm there to help them, too. I tap into all these trainings. I get all the advertising information from Dave Cones, from Michael, from Scott. And I use that when I talk to prospects. So they see I'm there, I'm real, I'm helping them. They thank me by email. They call to talk with me and thank me.
And I've gotten to the point where I don't care if they join me or not. I just don't care. Eventually, they might. They might not. It's OK. I'm here to help them.
Now - I DO get excited when they join. But it's not life and death for me. When you build trust and loyalty, you're building the right way. You can build a group that will be huge and last forever.
