This week a friend of ours received a phone call. This phone call could have either saw his six figure income snatched away, or like a pro, he would come out better off. Let me explain in more detail, and why it is important to brand you and not your company.

Basically what happened to this friend is – a person who was in charge of the network marketing side of the MLM company that our friend supported, called our friend to inform him that unfortunately they have decided to ‘stop’ the network marketing side of the company!!!

Imagine, you believed so much in an MLM company and you have built a six figure income around it, and in a couple of minutes you learn that this income could ‘vanish in thin air’. Unfortunately, this happened to our friend, and it happens to a lot of people whose Network Marketing Company decide to shut down.

What Next?

So, if this ever happened to you, you could do either of 2 things:
1. either whine and complain about the unfortunate situation,
2. or keep your (downline) team together and move on.

The first option is the easy way out, but I am sure your dream would be to continue with your momentum and continue earning your six figure income.

Let me explain what my friend did, which saw him earn $6000 in less than 8 hours, by taking charge of his ‘unfortunate’ situation.

 He acted fast. He chose another company which resonated with his philosophy, and within an hour he became a network marketer for this MLM company.
 He communicated with his team. He sent out Emergency Emails to his team, explaining the situation, and invited them to Urgent Webinars. He actually held about 5 webinars the same day he learnt the unfortunate news. In the webinars, he could communicate with hundreds of people in his ‘downline’, explaining the situation, telling them about this new company that he joined and inviting them to join his team in the new company.

How Did He Do It?

Well, the answers are simple:
 He learnt how to brand himself, and not his company
 He built a strong relationship with his team
 He learnt how to market online

Because of all this he manage to turn an unfortunate experience, into an amazing journey where within 2 days he had 80% of his team join him in his new company. So, he came out better off in the end.

What Can YOU Do?

 First you need to start branding yourself as an expert. You are not working for your MLM company (remember, you are not employed), but you are building a name for yourself while supporting a particular Network Marketing Company that you believe in. So promote you and not the company.
 Once you brand yourself, you start building a relationship of trust with your ‘followers’. This you would do through an autoresponder (email marketing service) and by giving value to your readers. Our friend, could easily send out an email to all his followers, because he had them on his list.
 Learn how to use the power of the internet to brand you. The internet is huge, and marketing online gives you the advantage of reaching to a lot of people. There are different marketing strategies that you can choose from, to ultimately conquer the internet.

My Advice

It is true that you have to choose a company that you resonate with and a company with a good compensation plan, but all this means nothing if you don’t have a mentor who can teach you how to brand you.

Your mentor should inspire, motivate and educate you. You should be taught how to market effectively to promote you. You should feel part of a team, which together is so strong that it enables you to reach new heights. Your mentor should give you the skills necessary to be able to achieve massive success in the industry (and in a way you are ‘unbreakable’).

What happened to my friend, was shocking. However, I have learnt a valuable lesson. The most devastating events in the world, won’t even make you miss a beat, if you learn how to market YOU instead of just your company.
