There are three traits of successful MLMers (Person who does MLM):

1. People who have built up a network of previous relationships. I don’t mean friends and family, I mean store owners or folks active in the community. These people are successful because the relationship they have built has a certain amount of trust. It doesn’t take much to convince others in an existing relationship to join an MLM because of the trust aspect.
2. The Salesman or Saleswoman. These are the people who can sell a freezer to an Eskimo. They have the gift of gab and can manipulate almost any situation to their advantage.
3. People who have something unique to offer their downline. These people have a “Secret” strategy for their downline. The secret can be a special recruiting technique or something simple like doing follow-up calls.

How can you develop these traits?

Achieving Item #1 – On the Internet there are many ways to develop business relationships: Forums in your niche, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to name a few.

For example: On Twitter, follow the people that are already successful in your niche. For MLM try Ty Tribble and Mike Dillard. You want to take your cues from those who are successful and participate in their conversations.

If you own a blog, successful blogs are all about relationships and creating a dialogue with readers. This is a natural by-product of owning a blog. Succesful bloggers build relationships and then they monetize this relationship.

How does this relate to MLM? Like a good “squeeze page” blogs offer useful free information in exchange for your loyalty and contact information (Building a List). Bloggers further monetize their relationships by recommending products using affiliate links to earn affiliate commissions. This would be the upsell, crosssell, or even the funded proposal in an MLM list building campaign.

Achieving Item #2 – Becoming a better salesman or saleswoman is a little more challenging. If you don’t like to talk to people, becoming a good salesperson is going to be very challenging. BUT don’t for a second think that you can’t do it! If at any point you think you Can’t do something, you won’t!

Some people may think that being a better salesperson means being able to lie with a smile. The truth is to be a better salesperson means understanding the product you are selling and understanding who you are selling to.

For example: When I purchased my 4Runner, a friend recommended that I see a particular salesperson to get the best price. I didn’t listen to my friend on my first visit. I sat with the salesperson, and for some reason I just didn’t want to buy from that person. A few days later I made an appointment with the salesperson my friend recommended.

Within a matter of moments, he knew what I wanted. I wanted to get in and take a drive! The other salesperson just showed me books and sales material, and I felt like I was being a bother to her. Did the new salesperson offer me a better price? Nope! But I did buy from him. He knew what questions to ask me, and even though he was still helping another customer, I didn’t feel like I was being a bother to him.

Do you think my salesperson became the best overnight? Of course not, he developed his skills over time.

Achieving Item #3 – Everyone has something unique to offer. The problem is finding and identifying that item. If you are a tax consultant, you can give out tax advice. If you are a salesperson you can give out selling pointers. If you tried a product that worked particularly well, you can make suggestions. OR if you found a product that was worthless, you can save your downline from making a mistake. Maybe you’re good at online marketing or offline marketing. Maybe you have a talent for presentations. Don’t sell yourself short!
