 Tribute to Bob Schmidt, A Network Marketing Legend and one of the “Good Guys”

I was shocked to hear about the passing of one of network marketing’s greatest legends, Bob Schmidt. I didn’t know Bob very well, but those who do have been profoundly impacted by his life and work. I do have a very proud memory of Bob approaching me after I delivered a platform presentation to several thousand distributors in Vancouver, BC. He congratulated me on a fine presentation and was particularly interested in the content of my speech. Coming from Bob, it couldn’t have been a more flattering commentary. WOW!

I’ve copies some messages from some of Bob’s good friends. I’ve also included the newspaper article about his death. Our hearts go out to his surviving family members and good friends. We’ll miss Bob Schmidt and what he has done for all of us.

Many of you have been asking me how I have developed my business primarily using internet marketing strategies. Well, I’d love to take each and every one of your through the process, but I don’t have the time or energy to train 20,000 independent distributors on how to build their business using the internet. Furthermore, I have never taken the time to document the process or record audios or videos on the subject. I will be starting this process soon, but it could take quite a while.

So, to keep everyone happy, I’ve made a new page on my BLOG www.networkmarketingreview.com/internetmarketing

This is a link to some of the programs I’ve used to gain my knowledge and skills. I’ve also linked to some programs and trainers who teach similar principles to the ones I believe and apply in my business. I’ve always been a fan of Max Steingart’s Endless Free Leads program, as well as Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring and I recommend both. I’ve also created links to several of the Google Adwords courses that have helped me generate daily traffic to my websites. If you’re interested in more info on the subject, just email me back and let me know what you’d like to learn. I can’t promise to respond to each inquiry, but I will READ every email and make my decision on what to train on in the future. Just click here for more information.

Thanks! DC

I met Morris Goodman recently at the MLMIA Conference in California. His words were so inspiring to me personally, that I couldn’t wait to have him on our training call.

If you missed our tele-class with Morris “The Miracle Man” Goodman on 5/17, you’re in luck. We recorded it! And it is PHENOMENAL! I’ll have it up soon.

Morris Goodman, at age 35 was Mr. Success.One of the leading life insurance salesmen in the world, a member of The Million Dollar Round Table and Top Of The Table, Morris had success, fame, fortune, and a brand new airplane.

And then things turned upside down. While attempting to land his airplane one afternoon Morris crashed. With his neck broken at C1 and C2, his spinal cord crushed, and every major muscle in his body destroyed Morris was no longer able to perform any bodily function except to blink his eyes. His injuries were too severe for him to survive.

But the man the doctors dubbed “The Miracle Man” did survive and with a strong faith in God, courage and determination, Morris not only rebuilt his body but also his mind and outlook on life.

Morris feels you too can learn to be happy, have peace of mind, and accomplish all your goals and dreams no matter what hand life deals you.

Today Morris is a highly sought after speaker who travels the world sharing his story with millions of people and teaching his philosophy on goal setting and personal growth and development.

This next picture is going to blow you away. This is a picture of Morris’ plane after the crash. Can you imagine anyone surviving this? It seems God had different plans for Morris Goodman. The one thing that had the most lasting impression on me when I met Morris personally is that he said if he had it all to do over again, he wouldn’t change a thing. He would not take back the accident. He would not wish for a different life. His adversity has helped him become who he is today.

Click here to listen to the audio interview with Daren Falter. I’m going to take some time this week to enhance Morris’ recording, its bit weak.

Check out Morris’ website at www.themiracleman.org

I’ve been putting a lot of focus lately on my webinar series, “Introduction to Advertising Co-ops: Learn how to generate a steady flow of quality MLM leads to your email and voicemail DAILY with advertising co-ops.” I had to rerecord the second series for the THIRD time because a) my voice was out on the first version and b) my internet was not behaving on Tuesday night as some of you witnessed. So I re-recorded the portion that was the meat and potatoes of the call, and GOOD NEWS… its less than 20 minutes total. Next week we’ll be discussing more co-op strategies. Join my newsletter if you want notification on these free webinars.

Every spring I do a spring cleaning and offer several training programs at ridiculous prices. This year I’m doing something different. I’m giving you ONE LAST CHANCE to purchase some of these items for the last time at low prices. After this, they’re going UP! Click here for details.

 Many people have been asking me lately about how to compare network marketing compensation plans. First, I would highly recommend that you first read my book, and listen to my book on tape. You can purchase a combo pack of the book and tape at my website at www.networkmarketingbook.com. But here’s a very brief summary of what I look for in compensation plans. If you do a search on YouTube.com after watching this video, you can find the rest of my webinars.

This webinar recording was done last year around the time I was finishing my book. Its an intro to a series of webinar clips that break down the different compensation plans; the matrix, breakaway, unilevel, binary, and some of the other gimmick plans like the Australian 2-up, etc. You’ll want to study this information before selecting a network marketing company. Enjoy the clips, and be sure to pass them on.

Daren’s take on Home Party Plans

I haven’t done a home party plan in a few years, but I would if I had more time. I’ve learned some incredible lessons from this amazing business model. I’ve also consulted a few top companies and a few top agents on this amazing strategy. Considering the fact that over one third of the $30 billion direct sales industry consists of companies that focus primarily on home parties, the Home Party Plan strategy can not be ignored.

Let me start by saying, I love party plan companies, which are any network marketing or direct sales companies that promote their products and services almost exclusively through home parties and home demonstrations. I’ve learned some extremely valuable lessons from the home party plan industry. Here are some of my findings:

1. More than 99 percent of the home party plan industry is made up of women.
2. Retail is the lifeblood of any direct marketing company; party planners know this better than anyone.
3. There’s no better place to create a buying environment than in the living room of one of your friend’s homes.
4. Recognition can be a more powerful performance incentive than money.
5. Many people join direct sales for reasons other than making money. They can enjoy the relationships and camaraderie, they might thrive on the challenge, they may crave the recognition they receive as they advance, and they might have a passion for the products.
6. Party plan marketing is a retail sales and distributor duplication machine.
7. Party plan companies generally weight their compensation plans toward the front end so participants can earn commissions sooner. The reward is directly tied to the party itself (more on this in Chapter Eight).
8. Home party plans incorporate fun, education, and social interaction into the sales and marketing process.
9. Experienced party plan distributors can produce incredible personal sales volumes that would put most network marketers to shame.
10. Home parties, especially couples parties, can be a lot of fun!!!

As thrilled as I am about the virtues, and power, of the party plan model, I didn’t say much about this particular business model in my book. I don’t want to pick on home party plan companies. I’m just letting visitors know that my book, How to Select a Network Marketing Company was intended to outline the criteria and strategies for selecting a standard network marketing model. Standard MLMs weight the compensation to the middle and the back of the pay plans while most party plan companies weight towards the front. I’ll be discussing the home party plan model separately in future writings and articles.

But for now … PARTY ON … and enjoy this clip from a party plans story I put together a few years ago.

How to Select a Network Marketing Company Series
Discover the Keys to Scrutinizing, Comparing, and Selecting a Million-Dollar MLM Business

Rather than simply running through the criteria I used for selecting the best company in network marketing, I want to walk you through the evaluation process, step-by-step. It’s valuable for network marketers to understand the importance of each criterion. You can use this system to rate any network marketing business venture.

Listed below are the Six Keys or criteria we will review in this article. Associated with each key are some of the critical questions that this article will answer. Don’t worry if you don’t understand the question before reading the chapters associated with each criterion or key. But keep in mind that eventually understanding these questions and their answers is critical to your success in network marketing.

Key #1: Profit Mindset – How to Think Like a Marketing Pro

In order to be able to recognize a good opportunity, you must be thinking with a marketing mind. This article will help you understand how successful home business owners think about success and money. Adopting these same beliefs and philosophies is your first step in selecting the right company. In my book, How to Select a Network Marketing Company (Chapter Four), I will answer these questions, and many others you might have about what it takes to have the mindset of a millionaire.

• What is your main reason for starting and maintaining a successful business?
• What is the difference between business ownership and self-employment?
• Would you rather be right or rich? Is ego more important than profits?
• What message is the marketplace sending you every day?
• Are you coachable enough to effectively apply what you learn in this book?

Key #2: Product Industry-What to Sell, and Why

The term product industry refers to the type of product or service you will be selling through your independent distributorship. Chapter Five of my book will answer the following questions in detail.

• Should I select a product company or a service company?
• Which product or service will produce the largest income for me?
• Should I go with a new idea or go with something proven?
• Which industries are absolutely not viable this year?
• What role do trends play in selecting a product industry?
• Should I choose a Baby Boomer industry, or does it matter?

… and how we can provide it, working together

There is one horrible, ugly, repulsive, repressive, defeating factor keeping every network marketer from fulfilling their true potential. This one factor, if reversed, could cause network marketing / MLM to become the most popular career in the world. What is this factor? It’s involves network marketing distributors attacking other distributors within the same MLM industry. It involves the backbiting, betrayal, and slandering of each other. You see, network marketing / mlm is a word-of-mouth industry. Distributors rely on person-to-person promotion to share the benefits of a new MLM product or service or to tell someone about a new network marketing business venture.

However, when network marketers run into the competition, something snaps and they forget who they are.  Instead of realizing there is room for everyone at the top and that we would all do better working together and supporting one another even though we’re in different MLM companies, distributors would rather spread unsubstantiated rumors about the competition’s product or business to try to make their own deal look better. Multiply this by all of the good people involved in this word-of-mouth business and you have a bad news machine cranking out dirty laundry at mass volume. No wonder network marketing has a bad rap. Network marketers are responsible for nurturing this myth.

Uniting Network Marketers for Fun and Profit

Can you imagine how successful all network marketers would be if we could just learn to support each other in the industry instead of tearing each other down? Network marketers (and everyone else) simply need education so they can develop the wisdom to understand the difference between legitimate business opportunities and scams. They need to learn that distributors in other legitimate companies are just like them. They need to learn to love network marketing as much as they love their own product and company.

One of the missions of www.networkmarketingreview.com is to unite the ethical and legitimate network marketing companies through their distributors and truly share the story of network marketing through the good people of this industry. The information and communications at this website will prove to its readers specifically why network marketing is the greatest home-based business strategy in the world. Through uniting as an industry, MLM can become one of the most powerful forces for good on the planet.

Let me know what you feel about these ideas, and keep the commentary coming.

Daren C. Falter

Considered just fifteen to twenty years ago to be the domain of the housewife and blue collar worker, network marketing has now come of age. Network marketing or multi-level marketing (MLM) is now considered a white collar industry by the millions of people worldwide who are bold enough to look past the stereotypes and see this business for what it is.

Network marketing has become the business model of choice for those seeking extra income, or those wishing to completely replace their full-time income in a short period of time. With extremely low start-up costs, and extremely high income potential, home business hopefuls are turning to network marketing as an alternative to the expenses and hassles of traditional businesses or franchising.

In the past, network marketing was considered by many to be the last resort for people down on their luck who refused to seek traditional solutions. To others it was a social club for people who enjoyed adult interactions, camaraderie, and recognition. Today, network marketing is a high-tech, sophisticated, and professional business model. According the Direct Selling Association, it’s now a $100 billion per year industry worldwide. Pep rallies, prayer meetings, and the all to common “ambush” approach of “old school” network marketers has been replaced by webinars, email, search engines, and video conferencing.

With all of these advancements in network marketing in recent years, it’s no wonder that top business consultants, authors, and celebrities have good things to say about network marketing. Just ask best selling authors Robert Kiyosaki, Robert G Allen, Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield, T Harv Eker, Denis Waitley, Brian Tracy, Paul Zane Pilzer, Richard Paul Evans, Tom Hopkins, Anthony Robbins, and even Donald Trump what they think of network marketing. MLM is going main stream and now is the time to find out if it’s right for you. Before we can know if network marketing will work for you, it’s important to understand just how this business model works.
