Thank you Eric
We are only payed for recruiting and retail.

Again 1 year and blinders! Your company pays you to do two things recruit and retail! For 2 hours turn off the technology and reach 30 people.

If your upline is successful and willing to assist you, and they are making themselves accessible, use them. Success leaves clues. There is likely someone in your company that is eager to help you grow your organization.

Go Pro! You are only paid to recruit and retail. 2 hours a day is not a huge sacrifice for the larger potential payoff.

I hope everybody reach what Mark has already reached, he will only sponsor those who will answer his commitment questions...

Recruit. Spend your time doing things that will get you to achive your goals.

Nathan Ricks & Mark Yarnell both say recruit, recruit, recruit. Guess there must be something in that!!

Hi Eric

I love the way you are tracking these amazing people down. Mark Yarnell's book 'First year in network marketing' is a great book. Enough truth in it to sift out those who won't stick - almost scary in parts for the newbie!

I found it interesting he said that the guys who write the books make all the money. I couldn't agree more.. position yourself as an expert and people come to you.

That leads us into the 2 hours a day pitching. Pitching is so much more pleasurable when people are looking for what you have! I think he's missed the point abit with technology and of course there's no reason he should get to grips with it at this point in his career.

When people contact us online through Twitter etc. we can get into a responsive conversation with the right people much quicker than we can with a long list of numbers of people who are not home!

Fabulous insights and I look forward to watching more and enjoying the contrast between old and new ways of building the business.

Thanks
Rachel
p.s Don't worry Eric we won't all be moving in with you!

Wow, It can't be put in any simpler terms!
Bullseye dead center.....

Sorry about that cough you have !! ;) I do have a suggestion!

Hi Eric once again you have attracted a great speaker and trainer of this network marketing industry. Keep up the great work my friend. Look forward to watching the entire interview with Mark Yarnell.

Eric. Thank You again for all you are doing. All the information so far has helped me and my business grow.

I agree with J Fogg, Eric. I am kicking myself because I read this years ago in Mark's book, Your First Year. Find 2 hours and recruit and retail.
What a novel concept :)

"Do your due diligence on the upline mentor... not the company." Because a "great" leader isn't going to have a mediocre product, plan, company.

Cool. Eric you're gettin these people to say some very good things! Thanks. I appreciate you.

I loved Mark's analogy using Tiger Wood's first year as a pro golfer, still spending the same time doing the same thing. The only difference (in my understanding of the analogy) is that Tiger DECIDED to go Pro.

Have a Great Day!

it's great to be mentored but it's even greater after being mentored to mentor others. The fruit doesn't fall to far from the tree.

Love this segment, especially about committing and adhering to 2 hours a day, without technology, just personal contact.
Your mentoring, along with Mark Yarnell`s, is precious.
I Look forward to more.

Thank you Eric and Marc, I know it - Eyes to eyes ears to ears face to face this is the industry - relationship - warm relationship. two hours a day - 30 phone calls god give me the power wow
Thanks so much

Mr. Worre,
I hope I don't regret this post! But as I have heard Randy Gage say, "You can't look good and get better at the same time." I classify myself as a trainee in this industry because, embarrassingly enough, I have yet to demonstrate any type of rank advancement for the past year. I can't help but think that there are many that fit this category. So if you are like me, this one is for you!

As a trainee in this industry I understand what is expected of me.
As Mark pointed out, I am expected to:
1. FOLLOW and not argue the direction the coach offers,
2. COMMIT give it enough time for a full year and
3. FOCUS- do not consider other companies during the mentorship period.

Could you elaborate on the expectations of a coach / metnor? Here's my conundrum. I have heard 1, 2, and 3 (above) from leaders in our organization via paper / audio / conference. I have also received the above information via book. So then what separates a mentor from a book? The answer is individualized personal attention from someone successful.

Another question I have is everyone in any given up-line capable of mentorship? I would love to be mentored, but it seems you have to pay to be led by great leaders. I am flat broke and fighting to keep what I have. That is not even an option. Also, can someone become ineligible for mentorship? Maybe I haven't asked the right question. Or, am I not worthy just because I have not rank advanced in the first 90 days? I don't like where I am and am trying everything to change it, but I can't help wondering if not giving up the best answer?

I am a gymnastics coach so the practices I use in the gym are similar to the expectations I have for a coach in this industry. If I get a gymnast that desires to do better I give him/her personal attention via observation of what is occurring, instruction to improve performance and praise for a job well done. My attention is constant. I have yet to see this approach in network marketing.

What I have discovered is that there is a lack of individual attention and personalized direction may have began with the sponsor. In no shape or form am I blaming my sponsor for my results. My sponsor is an amazing and successful businessman. However, my sponsor’s commitment levels in the business are very different than mine. I want to do this full time and he/she may be a product user that does the business on the side. I have yet to complete a game plan with timeline to jump into activity and ensure I have a good start. How can I teach someone else what to do when I have never seen it myself?

I know it all comes down to my own efforts. I am ultimately responsible for my own business. But it is a lot easier to do something UNBELIEVABLE when there is someone present cheering you on.

The information Mark gives toward to the last part of this segment was most important and valuable (time stamp 5:50) to me . In our industry we need to do two things: Recruit and Retail. Turn off the technology for 2 hours a day and reach 30 people to recruit or retail. So on that note... here goes nothing. Ask me tomorrow how my 2 hours went. LOL!

Signing off…. Angela Knigge

This timely input from Mark Yarnell helps put the Web 2.0 culture into proper perspective. We can use technology and social media tools to get the leads, but then, the leads have to be worked, and that's what it is all about.

And his final "quip" is absolutely precious:

"Oh' yeah,they'll commit to it [2 hrs a day], but they won't DO it..".[i feel limited by the lack of italics on this editor]...

This is putting positive substance to the GO PROFESSIONAL theme.

Love you all,
Jack
Thanks so much, Eric. Whether you realize it or not, you are mentoring !

2 hours aday and have blinders on your first year. you can't look left or look right or you'll become distracted. and if your distracted your not focused, if your not focused on what your doing how can you expect to accomplish your goals.

great info guys. love the fantastic resource!

There is so much power and potential in voice communication that is simply impossible to achieve the same results by email. I couldn't agree more with this method of business development. Eric, I have thorougly enjoyed all 16 of your video shows. Not only are they educational for me, but I see them as an excellent inspirational resource that I will be able to use on a regular basis. Repeated watching with notebook and pen in hand will I believe produce new insights every time. This is the key to programming the sub-conscious mind which is ever so important in effective voice communication. It is what is back of what you say that gives it the power and credibility to initiate the changes that result in recruitment and sales. Thank you Eric and Mark, and I am really looking forward to viewing the next videos in this series.

Simple and straight forward. Great information. I hear from ALOT of people who tell me they don't have time to work on a side business but can recite the daily prime time schedule without missing a beat. Thank you for your commitment to us Eric and keep it coming.

Excellent segment...the 2 hours a day is perfect. Recruit or Retail. If you are not doing that than you won't make any money!!!! Keep the great stuff coming Eric and Mark!

Hello Eric.
I'm new in NM and every advice is for me is very helpful. I'll try to get 30 contacts only with my cell phone :)

I totally agree with Mr. Mark.
If you focus too much on technology, you will lose track of Netowrk Marketing fundamentals.
I can tell this with great knowledge because I have that experience.
I recently promoted an event using both Network Marketing (eye-to-eye) and Technology Marketing (Email messages and announcements).
The result is astonishing: 80% of the people I contacted using Network Marketing, said Yes, and less than 1% from Technology Marketing ASKED me questions... they didn't say yes...
Which leads to the conclusion that people are really an animal of emotions and if you don't give them those emotions, you lose them.

Love you all
Alfredo Rodrigues

Hey Eric,

I like the idea of turning off the technology for 2 hours a day in order to speak personally to people. As you know I am heavily into the use of tehnology, but I have always maintained that it needs to backed up by human contact. Mark's concept brings a little more structure to this process.

Awesome as usual

See you tomorrow

Grahame

I love the straight communication form Mark. It leaves present that I don't do those 2 hours and thus I know why I don't yet have the results that I want. The results are going to mirror the actions.

Here is part 2. Enjoy!
