I have the courage now to introduce myself as the Network Marketing Professional. This is rejuvenating!Thank you.

Stating "I am network marketing professional" shows the other person I'm committed to improving my skills and actions to stay current in my business.

What's it going to take? Being honest and authentic... not throwing up on everyone... not hiding what we do and conversely not exaggerating what we do...

I love being upfront and saying straight out "I'm a network marketing profesional" rather than all the cutesie little phrases that are supposed to generate interest and "hook" them while we hide what we really do, and in reality just scream "I'm afraid/embarassed to tell you what I do" and meanwhile everyone knows "oh it's one of those pyramid things"...
"I'm a network marketing professional, and I help people..." If I get one of those negative looks or comments, I either ask "what do you know about network marketing?" or if I get the eye-roll, pathetic realy negative look I say "Sounds like you've been involved in something, tell me about your experience..." Then usually it's their brother's wife's bestfriend's mother who knew someone one time...
Again, depending on their reaction, I might say "you're probably right, you probably aren't right for this..." or else "would you open to taking 15 minutes to get the facts and base your decision/opinion on that?"

I let everyone know that I am a network marketing professional. Sometimes they look at me like I have two heads. But there is no shame in being a part of NWM. Be proud of what you do.

I'm ready to go PRO!!!!!

Being a network marketing PROFESSIONAL is key, for sure. We are not just distributors for the company that we work with/represent. We must be proud of being network marketers and let the world know how amazing it is to be a network marketer pro, just like you are.

Enjoyed this. It really is about standing up for what we know to be the best industry and opportunity available to everyone. Given the economy and progressively declining state of affairs, the tipping point is close.

Great to back and see the shows again :)

Isn't it true that everything has a Tipping Point! I agree that we should be UNashamed of what we do part-time right now!

$120 billion dollars! WOW! No hiding, no apologies. Thanks Eric!

This tipping point is not just outside the industry, but I feel more importantly it must happen inside the industry as well. I can't count how many times I've been "trained" to avoid that it's network marketing when talking with people about my opportunity. Well, how can I have pride in what I'm doing and attract people to it if I'm supposed to avoid telling people what it is. That NEVER made since to me. Great video, I agree 100%, it's time we go pro and proudly state that we are Network Marketing Professionals!

I hope all network marketers watch this. It's our time to turn pro.

I am many things....but I am also an Network Marketing Professional. Be Proud ot it. This is a great business.

This is great, sending this to my entire team

Thanks

Oh, yes. I am a network marketing professional. 1 more hope I have is we treat this industries as a whole. We, a network marketing professional, should not critic other companies or organizations anymore just to make ourselves looked better than others. I am with you, Eric. Wish all network marketing professionals have a wonderful and abundant life.

I agree, but I also will say when we stop talking negative abouth other Companies :)

Hello Eric, I have been in network marketing for some time, but I am new to NMPRO.com. I am so thrilled with all the work you are doing. My mission is to change the image and the raise the professionalism of what this industry is, and can be. I am in this for the long term. Network Marketing is a passion and life-long career and profession for me. That you for bringing the integrity and professionalism to this business that it deserves. Thank you for being a leader for the good of the whole.

Thanks,
Doug Cameron

I totally agree with you on this. I have always hated that feeling that there must be something wrong with network marketing if we act ashamed to just come out and say "I'm a Network Marketing Professional!"
Thank you so much for these daily programs. I subscribed last week and have now gone into the archives and started at the beginning. These videos are wonderful!

Love it! Eric, my upline sending me to this website has been the best training I've had in 2 1/2 years since I've been with my company.

I'm sending my entire team here.

I just posted "Network Marketing Professional" on my Facebook profile.

Eric, you rock! Thank you for all of the help you provide...lets all go pro!!

I want to be professional too
Thanks Eric

For the past few months I have been telling my upline that when asked I tell people that I am a network marketer, (I didn't think to add professional). The kept telling me ...NO DON'T DO THAT...COME UP WITH A 30 SECOND ELEVATOR PITCH" In my opinion, if you are proud of what you are doing, well then you have nothing to hide. Go out and tell the world...I AM A NETWORK MARKETING PROFESSIONAL!!!!

Great word as usual. You are 100% correct. We need to be proud of what we do and the organization that we are part of. Thank you Eric. I am a netwrok marketing professional.

Eric...You are so on target. It is all about being true to ourselves and our profession.

Everyone needs to grow personally and professionally to the point that they have confidence and posture to say with passion who they really are!

That is what is is all about. When you say it with passion, and with confidence, people take note and it is recieved in a completely different way.

I personally tell people this all the time and I have yet to find someone who seems like they look at me less for it as a result.

I heard a quote once and it is, "People of Integrity expect to be believed, and when they are not, they let time prove them right!"

Great job Eric, keep up the great work on this project with a passion!

Hi Eric,

This show was beautiful and bang on!!
Ha ha! My name is Kevin, I'm an Analyst AND I'm also a Network Marketing Professional!

So are there anything you could offer on ways that we could 'explain' what we do in this Profession as a followup to that phrase when people ask?

Hi Eric,

I am an E-Commerce specialist and a Network Marketing Professional!

Great messages in your videos!

I hope all Agel professionals are proud network marketing professionals, as they very well should be.

Regards,

Paul

You are so correct! No more Dodging ! Face it! Believe it! Do it!

HI Eric,
I agree that at some point, ideas reach a tipping point and become accepted by the mainstream but it can't happen until a tipping point is reached in the minds of those who are already involved with Network Marketing.

If there are many Networkers who are too shy to admit that they are in Network Marketing, then how can we expect the world to accept the industry?

Everyone involved in Network Marketing has to build up their belief so we can reach a tipping point within the Industry, then we can focus on the rest of the world.

Cheers,
Mike

Yes, I do....I am a Network Marketing Professional. I am gonna say it out to the world starting today!

Thanks Eric, u r the greatest!

Eric, you are such an inspiration to me. I appreciate what you are giving out to all of us.
Lori

This project, as well as many others, are bringing us closer to the tipping point... by educating both the network marketers who indeed choose to go PRO, and the public at large.

This is so ERIC!!!

Yes Sir!!! I'm becoming a NETWORKMARKETING PROFESSIONAL with your great help and the help of my team, my company and this fantastic forum.

that was an enlightening session.
From now on I will reply to the question what do you do for living – I am a project manager in the IT and also NETWROK MARKETING PROFFESIONAL

Thanks for sharing this concept. That´s what I am Agel concept is about. We should not feel any shame when we say I am Agel, if we truly believe in Agel, our words should come naturally and be proud of it. Otherwise we are not delivering the message properly.

I am 100% Agel,

Maria Javier

Hi Eric

Great idea and concept of sharing it!!!
It clarify bit by bit the thin difference between NM Grinder and NMPRO

I'm implementing this, as my proffesion including changing my CV!

Lucky me, we work under the same roof!!

Great day Eric.

This is just de ja vu all of a sudden, i was discussing with one of my team members today and having a discussion about Network Marketing how we should stand up right and speak the word NETWORK MARKETING PROFESSIONAL next time from henceforth we come in contact with prospects and ask us what we do.

I am absolutely doing this all the way through, like you have always said in all of your videos Eric. ''I hope you decide to go PRO''

I am a Network Marketing Pro

Eric, I can't thank you enough. I look forward to your web site everyday. I know in my heart you are not helping only me in my business you are helping those I come in contact with.

We're already on the way to critical mass consciousness. Let's get the word out.

An extract from the 'Hundredth Monkey Theory':

The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years. In 1952, on the Island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but found the dirt unpleasant. An 18 month old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in the salty ocean water, improving the taste of the potato. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates learned this trick and taught their mothers too. This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by numerous monkeys in the troop and observed by the scientists.

Between 1952 and 1958, all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes and make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this cultural improvement. Other adult monkeys kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes. In autumn of 1958, something startling took place. A certain number of Koshima monkeys were already washing their sweet potatoes, the exact number is not known. The hypothetical number given was 99. Then it happened. The hundredth monkey learned to wash the sweet potatoes. The added energy of that hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough. Almost everyone in the tribe was washing their potatoes before eating them, but a surprising occurrence was observed by these scientists. The habit of washing the sweet potato had jumped overseas. Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop at Takaskiyama began washing their sweet potatoes.

Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of individuals knows a 'new way', it remains the conscious property of those individuals. However, when one more individual manifests this new awareness, the field is strengthened, a critical mass is reached, and the awareness becomes the conscious property of all. This new awareness is communicated mind to mind.

G'Day Eric,

This is an excellent episode today!

Apart from telling the world that we are Network Marketing Professionals, by saying it (with a smile), it will also help reinforce to ourselves that we are Network Marketing Professionals.

Have a Great Day!

This is a great idea Eric.. I'm changing my "career heading" and my "internet signature" to include the status of being a Network Marketing Professional right now !

Everyone in our industry with a backbone and at least 2 months of full time network marketing efforts (or 4 months part-time) needs to do this immediately.

Don't just attempt to be in Network Marketing.. BE A NETWORK MARKETING PROFESSIONAL and PROCLAIM IT !

I am a Natural Health Practitioner and I am a Network Marketing Profesionnal.... and by the way, this week I am reprinting my business card with this mentioned on it.

I'm Carpenter and also I AM A NETWORK MARKETING PROFESSIONAL. Thank you Eric

Whooo Hooo! This makes so much sense, Eric!
This is the phenomenon called "the Buzz" .
Imagine "network marketing professional" phrase as the "buzz" , in massive mode!

Who is John Gault! This is John Gault Speaking! Great Book! Great Movement!

This was a great one for me. I've been looking for a better answer to the question "what do you do?" that will allow me to state that I do Network Marketing without discounting my other profession/career. My new answer is "I buy real estate and I'm also a Network Marketing Professional"

I love it! another great episode!

Great concept Eric.

Regarding Bones' comment about the dentist, when he puts the DDS behind his name, it states to the world that he has made the commitment and investment in training to become a pro. There isn't a degree a network marketer can get to show that degree of professionalism. A better analogy would be an athlete. When he makes the decision to go pro it changes his status from an amateur to a professional. Likewise, a network marketer, when that decision is made it changes you from a distributor to a professional.

It's all mindset and posture. A great change in attitude.

I'm with you all the way and from today's on I will introduce myself as a Network Marketing Professional

"I am a network marketing professional!" We have to use the term "professional" specifically because the public does not view network marketing as a profession. Once we have achieved the tipping point, and the whole world realizes that this is a wonderful profession, it will no longer be necessary to keep saying that we are professionals...it will become self evident.

Thanks for the great insight.

Excellent piece of work, Eric. I really enjoy this Profession.

And let me tell you why I am so excited about being a NM:

Instead of coming to work feeling like "Here I go again do the same things over and over again... What shell I do today? Ho, it's Monday, it’s time to take care of those weekly backups of that odd application, etc, etc..." I am now thinking like "Yes! Another opportunity to make friends, to give an option to my friends to become free and in the control of their life’s! Today I am going to speak with Luís, because he needs so much for a plan B! I just hope he has the vision to understand what I am about to put before him..."

Let me tell you more, my friends:


BEFORE NM
Before I become a network marketer, I was getting up at 07:00 AM after the alarm-clock rung, I always felt tired like I have had no sleep, willing for the day to finish so I could get back to bed and try to have some rest.

I was taking care of my youngest kid, Rita, now with 11 years old, getting into a shower, making her hurry up, walk the dog with her, having breakfast, getting her to school, heading to work where I was at around 08:15.
Then I would start my day-to-day work mostly the same, speaking basically with the same people, getting tired of politics, feeling mistreated by bosses, etc, etc...

At 18:00, picking up Rita, getting back home or dropping her at her Hip Hop class, preparing the dinner, picking the kids from whatever event they were, or Rita from Hip Hop, having dinner, sometimes reviewing Rita's school work and putting her in bed at around 21:30.

At that time I would have some time to do things but I was so tired and unmotivated that most of the time I was just dropping my ass on the sofa and watching "House" or CSI, or any other series on TV.

I would get to bed at 23:00, sometimes (when Sara let me) I would then make love to my wife and those were the best moments of my life. Honest! Love you Sara :))

AFTER NM
I basically do the same things, except for this:
I wake up at around 06:00 AM, all by myself, excited with ideas to prospect, or new friends do contact that I met some days before, or which kind of information shell I drop on my web site, or what to say to my new downline so she/he is motivated to start his adventure.

In my job, I am excited to tell everybody about what I am doing, the perspective of becoming in control of my life made me magnetic. People want to know everything about it (and I am not telling much because of my current task... Master Eric, grasshopper is working real hard for the 4rd of April task to be accomplished with big success :)
At night after getting Rita in bed, I rush up on my duplex; get to my computer and start doing my network marketing stuff: sending emails, speaking on Skype, doing online PBRs, you name it!
And most of the nights I get to bed at 01:00 AM and Sara is already sleeping... Hey, some nights I get to bed JUST IN TIME, OK!?!?!?!?!?
I am sorry Sara, but you know it's for the best, right? ;))) Still love you girl!
So, in conclusion, becoming a NM gave much more than money: It gave an objective in life, excitement, passion, things I had forgotten long ago.
For me, being a NM it's this: LIVE IN CONSTANT EXCITEMENT

I AM A NETWORK MARKETING PROFESSIONAL

MAI NADA
Alfredo Rodrigues

Eric, this time you hit the nail on the head. It's about... GOAL: CHANGING PEOPLE'S PARADIGMS THE WORLD OVER; MEANS: we say: I'M A NETWORKMARKETING PROFESSIONAL (and this duplicates if we ALL do it).

When people the world over hear this often enough, our profession will finally be valued at what it really is... the best in the world. Then TRY AND STOP US!!!

Thanks again for helping us focus.

Batya ten Brink, the Netherlands

I'm into this; I like it a lot- it's like people said "What's facebook" after they were invited 10 times.

Great move Eric.

I wonder why you chose to add "Professional" at the end; I know it may sound more legit, but like so many of the comments it sounds kinda strange... like you're lying if you're not a 6-figure earner, or if you just don't look at it that way.

You don't hear someone say "I'm a dental professional", they just say they're a dentist. If you ever
heard "I'm in the dental profession", that would just seem like they sold toothbrushes or something!

Why not just "I'm a Network Marketer"?

You are talking about re-branding an entire business segment and a huge one to boot. Personally, I don't believe the removal of the stigma can occur with 67 Million people now saying that they are Professionals but rather with the 67 million people actually DOING something different ie; the definition of insanity, "doing the same thing over and over the same way but expecting different results" or how about "if you want something you never had before you must DO something you NEVER DID before". In the past the STORY would sell the recruit and the recruit would sell the recruit and the recruit would sell the recruit and on and on, with the product coming in a distant second. For me (I was 16) it was the late sixty's and it was "DARE to be GREAT, KOSCOT INTERPLANETARY, a hairlip farmer from Arkansouth, G.W. Turner borrowed $5,000 from his Uncle and built a Dynasty out of some Mink oil based products he created in his garage. He would tell that story and his "associate" would tell that story and the bottom line was "anybody can do it" you pay $195.00 and maybe buy some product and tell the story to everyone who tell's that story to everyone to create your downline. There was no exclusivity because anyone can do it. I looked up the word professional in the dictionary (I have used the word before in a mainstream travel business name) and there were twice as many adjectives as there were nouns! ....end of story....find a superior product, work twice (2X) as hard as the nouns and the cream will always float to the top. To think there won't be a pile of collateral carnage along the way just isn't real world. Can't you see Nathan Ricks squirting lotion into his ex-business (mainstream) partners hand and watching it drip, drip to the table. PRICELESS

I Loved That!
What a great perspective
Absolutely agree

Wondering if you think people can 'be' network marketing professionals and not be building a particular company (as in - between companies).

Or what about those who are building their 'professional mindset' yet not showing the income that will meet typical "professional" standards (ie. traditional professionals have much schooling and study and skill sets under their belts before they are allowed to use the title and earn the big bucks).

Should people who have "not made a leap" to full time be considered "Pro" or should anyone who's bought a distributor kit suddenly be calling themselves "Pro" - seems to me that if suddenly everyone shifts to this title before they really are 'there' (wherever there is) - that just dilutes and obscures the meaning and purpose all over again.

Do like the 'coach' positioning though - even for newbies ... anyone can be a teacher if they know just a little more than their prospects and can offer value in some way to the people that they sponsor.

I guess I think there's more than one title that will suit the many different people who love and earn with NWM.

Yes, I am a network marketing profesionnal -
Sounds good in many languages!

Count us in... It's interesting. When people take pride in what they do telling others what they do. their posture is different.


Question Eric, You said you explain what a Network Marketing Professional is to people who ask. How do you explain it to them? Do you tailor it to the person or situation based on your knowledge of them or is it pretty much the same in each occassion?

I know everyone will have a little different take on this question.

Thanks for the knowledge.

Brian B (Indy)

Oh yeah, I forgot : s
Yes I am a professional network marketer (or Network Marketing Professional)
Let's be proud, let's go PRO!

Loved it! I'm glad you approached this subject, it's true that when I say I'm in network marketing, most people ask what does that mean, is is a computer thing or is it sales or advertising, ...
If you say I'm a architect well obviously we all know what it's, but our profession isn't clear or recognized yet as a true profession while it's one of the best if not the best according my standards. I agree we need to say it more because after a while people will get it and it'll make our job much easier.

QUESTION: Now what is it that you say when they ask 'ok and what is it being a NM pro?'

I usually say that it's about coaching people who want to improve their lifestyle, earn more money to be able to do what they want... and that I'm looking for people like that. (I usually reply something I know will talk to the person: time freedom, extra cash, work from home, ...) then I quickly suggest to review information if they look open right away or keep asking questions.
Big Al teach to say 'I am showing others how to....' (e.g: how to fire their boss, to work part-time and get paid full time, work from home, be healthier, ...) but people don't really get it when I say 'show'

Eric if you read this, could you please once go into this a bit deeper? thanks a lot : )

Loved it. It's funny how many of us can say we are police officers, teachers, in construction, or lawyers (not sure how people proudly say that - just joking you lawyers reading this...) but we can't say we are involved with network marketing, let alone say we are professionals. Get it out there, I'm going to.
Anyone else noticing the notes in the background? Look at the frame with white on the bookshelf. It asks, Who is John Galt? Below that is a book titled Atlas Shrugged. John Galt is a character in the book.
Not sure if this is a clue game that Eric is playing, but I am having fun seeing these items.
Thanks for the info Eric.
Shawn

Eric, Debbi from USA, Minnesota. It is wonderful to learn about Network Marketing. I am a brand new entrepeneur and my support stresses how important networking is. In a recent show I watched David Korten speak about the need to make our country more people friendly and encouraging self-employment as one of them. Thank you for your idea. .

When you go out of your way to help others get ahead, it is inevitable that they will reciprocate. When you genuinely wish others well, even though you may feel a little envious that they are advancing faster than you or gaining more recognition, they will respond accordingly. Great work Eric!! this is some of your BEST work!

Great message, great concept, be the reason people see this differently not an enabler of the current mindset.

Love it! Dave

Hi Eric Worre,

I want to say that everything you are doing for the network marketing industry in educating people is terrific. I strongly believe and agree with you that if we can all work together to help make this industry more appealing and attractive by becoming proffesionals we can change the thoughts in most people's minds about the industry.

I love network marketing and have become an advocate and leader in educating and coaching people the correct way to be successful in this profession. I'm looking forward to learning more off you and other top leaders.

Cheers

Hi Eric,

I'm a student on the High Economical School in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and working on my gratuating project about Networkmarketing.
I have watched all your shows, including today, and I have to admit that it is a really good concept you have here. I get a lot of information about networkmarketing because of your shows.

Thank you for that and I'm looking forward to the show of tomorrow!

Cheers

Be a professional - one way to do any business. At first I want to change MY thoughts about MLM, after I will be able to it other people.

Thanks Eric, you do the job of Int. leader!

I am a Network Marketing Professional.. I am ready to help push this forward with joy, pride and confidence..

Are YOU ready to help the Network Marketing Profession reach the Tipping Point in the minds of people around the world?
