Forever Living network marketing reps: Forget chasing friends and family. Learn how 7-figure earners build huge businesses using tactics rarely taught at live events and on Forever Living webinars.

If you seek to become a top earner, the way to do it is to implement a promotional plan that puts your message in front of thousands of people - not merely a handful of friends, family members and people you know.

You've got to learn to acquire customers and business partners the way nearly all legitimate businesses do: through marketing!

Read the rest of this article to learn several strategies top 2% earners are using to build large and lucrative businesses:

- Get Trained How To Market

Like any established business, you must market to generate sales. Network marketers in companies such as Forever Living are taught a lot about how to network, but almost nothing about how to market.

Purchasing leads and business cards, and setting up your company-provided replicated website seems like marketing. These are just marketing tools, and some are not very effective. Rock-solid marketing consists of a few elements:

Identify Your Target Market: Who is your target market for your Forever Living opportunity? People who own businesses? Broke people who need to make money? Focus on frustrated network marketers who seek solutions to their business problems. Network marketers won't waste your time with stupid questions about whether this is a scam, a pyramid, etc. People in network marketing have signaled they are willing to put a monthly product purchase onto their credit card.

Position Yourself Strategically: Thousands of people are promoting Forever Living. What unique value do you provide? Clarify your unique selling proposition. (U.S.P.)

Promotion Strategy: Once you run out of friends and family to prospect into your Forever Living business, how will you generate leads? Use a proven online marketing system that teaches strategies to generate leads online.

Follow-Up: You must follow up with all your leads. Use an automated email system, combined with live phone calls, to build rapport with and close sales.

- Focus On Marketing More Than Duplication

Traditionally, network marketers in opportunities like Forever Living are taught to keep their business-building activities extremely simple and duplicable by others Marketing Is More Critical Than Duplication People in network marketing companies such as Forever Living are told they need to keep everything they do simple so people in their Forever Living downline can duplicate these activities.

How effective is this strategy to keep everything simple so other can duplicate it? For a very small percentage of marketers, this strategy is effective. But for the extreme majority of multilevel marketers in companies like Forever Living, keeping everything allegedly duplicable does NOT lead to high levels of duplication.

Check out these facts:

- Only about 1 in 5 people in your Forever Living downline will sponsor anyone else.

- Of those that do sponsor people, most will only sponsor 2-3 people total.

- The remaining 80% of your Forever Living downline won't ever do a darn thing.

The keep-everything-duplicable strategy that network marketers in Forever Living are taught (like some ancient gospel) actually only causes 20% of the people to sponsor anyone...and they tend to sponsor a tiny number of people!

Keeping everything you do duplicable will NOT maximize your Forever Living income and it also creates problems few talk about. The most popular tactic to keep things simple is warm market recruiting, making a list of friends and family and then prospecting them to try to get them to join Forever Living.People promote this strategy not because it's the most effective tactic, but because it's the simplest.

This strategy can actually lead to people quitting Forever Living. Once people run out of others to talk to within the first 30-90 days, they will often quit Forever Living because they have NO CLUE how to perform the one activity they must rely on to build a business: advertising and marketing to generate consistent lead flow. The second problem this friends and family approach creates is it repels high caliber prospects. Ideal prospects for a Forever Living business, people with transferable skills and large personal and professional networks such as real estate professionals, professional salespeople, and other business people tend NOT to want to approach family and friends about their opportunity. Many professionals want to protect their reputation and do NOT want to introduce their friends and colleagues to an opportunity that they just got started with such as Forever Living.

So should you begin by approaching friends and family about your Forever Living business? Sure. But you must learn to market in order to build a real business because you WILL run out of leads. Your best prospects are likely going to want to market their business professionally, not pester friends at cocktail parties. Learn to market online and you can grow a Forever Living business with less duplication, while you attract higher caliber prospects into your business. If only a few high caliber team members learn to market Forever Living online, you could build a very large Forever Living organization.""

- Connect With Like-Minded People

Building a Forever Living business is unlike having a job. Rather than depending hopelessly on a job to make you rich, you're building a long term enterprise.

After a while, almost no one is going to understand what the heck you're doing. And then you'll start hearing all sorts of ridiculous comments:

- Why don't you focus on a job like everyone else?

- When are you going to make money?

- I tried one of those things before. They never work!

This is employee mindset. Under no circumstances should you let these type of comments influence your resolve. Do not discuss your business with these types of people. You'll feel more confident and get fewer hassles.

Go and connect with other networkers. Attend regional and national training events for Forever Living reps. Seek out and meet some of the top earners in your Forever Living opportunity or other companies. They are often energetic, support people.

Reach out to other networker through Facebook. Never lead with your Forever Living venture. Keep it real, and just have conversations. Take the average income of the 5 or 6 people you hang out with the most. That's what your income will look like. Select the people you associate with very carefully.
