Solutions and Benefits for the Mannatech Representative

Solutions and Benefits for the Mannatech Representative

This article contains useful information to the benefit of the Network Marketer without Hype, Distractions and Wordiness. There is a 99.9% chance you are building your Mannatech Business via purchasing LEADS. Then converting these leads into Mannatech Reps, such as yourself, in order to create a downline through various levels. This process is typical throughout the industry, with a different wrapping. They scream DUPLICATION, DUPLICATION, and more DUPLICATION. Buying Leads is the foundation of this model. Ironically, Buying Leads is the obstacle that stands in the way of success for the average marketer. Why? Because most unspecting newbie marketers want nothing to do with learning the art of sales. Cold-Calling Leads is a brutal task you MUST endure to be successful in the typical MLM model.

If you purchased 10,000 Leads, well you do the math concerning time management. And that's just it. We consider our time just as valuable as money. After calling 100 leads and getting 100 rejections, that's 2 to 3 hours we will never get back. Common sense tells us this concept does not add value to our life and we discontinue the practice. The average marketer will jump from one opportunity to the next hoping Leads are not the foundation to become successful. Unfortunately they come find out that it is. They try once more to put on the sales hat, this time they'll purcahse some motivational tape or book to stay the course. And in the end, they are back where they started, frustrated without any returns on their venture.

So what's the solution?

Business Tidbit of the day - Location, location, location; this is the anthem of every successful Real Estate venture. So what would be the equivalent for a successful Online Business? I would argue that it could very well be; Customers, customers, customers. Online Marketing has lost it's innocence by reason of the multitude of scams and ridiculous programs that flooded the industry. Venturing into these waters can be very nerve racking and tentative for the seasoned and novice opportunist. Reputation, stability and adaptation will interest the skeptic which is key to surviving in this industry. There's an old concept that is emerging ever so quietly in this industry and it will change the core of the typical MLM theory.

How much more appealing would it be if you could bypass the Leads dilemma and purchase already existing customers? I am talking about customers already buying product and is handled by professional sales reps within the company. If everthing else remains the same but for this simple change, would this add value to your life as an inspiring successful marketer?

This is my recommendation:

- To acquire customers, you simply purchase them on an regular basis from your parent company. You do not have to market to them, you do not have to follow up with them, you do not have to process their orders, you do not have to babysit them in any way. These are people who like the products, who purchase the products on a regular basis, and most likely have little or no interest in starting a home business. But that's OK, because you get commissions from their orders. Want more customers? Just buy them!

- You work as part of a powerful team to market your business opportunity on the internet. You focus not on acquiring customers. but on getting good quality leads who are interested in joining your business as a distributor and participating in the team effort.

There is a system available on the internet today that makes the above scenarios possible. I know, because I experience this daily. And it sure is great not to have to worry about marketing to acquire customers. All I do is buy them! This provides me with a growing source of reliable income while I concentrate on acquiring new business partners. The system is called the Its Good Business model.

This article is not a slam against Mannatech. I deeply respect this company and its leadership who is leading the charge against disease and unhealthy lifestyles. Mannatech offers an array of products that promotes just that. Please read on to see how Mannatech positions itself as a premier company with a great product. My only concern lies with the Home-based Business Model and the purchasing of leads. I hope you will find this article helpful and inspiring towards your future endeavors.

About Mannatech

Mannatech, incorporated was established in 1994, as a publicly traded, wellness solution provider. Their pioneering research and development has encompassed the dynamic field of carbohydrate technology. The dietary supplement products produced by Mannatech uses a natural occurring plant derived carbohydrates that work through normal physiology to promote the absorption of nutrients for optimal health and peak nutrition.

3 Stages of Business Growth (compensation plan analysis)

Mannatech's Compensation Plan is designed to maximize each stage of business growth. Through multiple income streams, Associates are rewarded for their efforts on the front line of initial business development and through product sales, as well as their ability to manage and train other leaders for long term business stability. The plan provides 18 distinct methods of earning. To get the most benefit, it is important to understand each type of earning's purpose, how to qualify, and how to build and train an organization to capitalize on each of these incomes.

1. Immediate Personal Production Bonuses

Mannatech's Personal Production Bonus opportunities offer you a number of ways to earn commissions directly from the sale of Mannatech products. These bonuses provide immediate income to Associates for product sales to all direct retail customers and product purchases by personally sponsored Members and Associates. You do not earn commissions or bonuses on your own product purchases.

(Mannatech is a fine organization with a tremendous product. They legitimately offer their customer base an opportunity to share in the company's profits. I would like to point out a couple of phrases Mannatech mentions such as, product sales and train other leaders. In others words, this means in order to make money in this business you must become a salesperson. Of course, you will be encouraged to start with friends and family, which totally sucks! Once you are finished annoying them, then it's off to the races. So wouldn't it be nice if you could buy already existing customers and get paid every time they purchase more product? Well hold that thought.)

2. Accelerated Leverage Compensation

Experience the power of accelerated leverage with some of Mannatech's most exciting and innovative compensation opportunities! These sources of upfront income are designed to help Associates set the cornerstones of their businesses by growing and training their own sales organizations. They are dynamic, potentially lucrative bonus plans that can help you get your business off to a terrific start!

(Wow! You are going to be leading a SALES ORGANIZATION. Yes, this is a business not a Free Ride! Work on your part is demanded to make money. Not only do you have to be a sales person but everyone you bring in better be as well or else, ZERO dollars will be in everyone's bank account. So wouldn't it be nice if your team only had to buy customers to build their business? Well hold that thought.)

3. Long Term Bonuses

After you have established the foundation of your Mannatech organization and benefited from Mannatech's Accelerated Leverage Team and Power Bonuses, Mannatech's long term bonuses can provide you with full or part time income and lead you toward financial freedom. Mannatech has eight types of long term bonuses. These bonuses are based on the Actual Pay Out (APO) of the products you and your organization sell and include the following: Unilateral Bonus, Leadership Bonus, Generational Bonus, Leadership Development Bonus, Star Bonus, Presidential Development Bonus, Global Volume Bonus, Auto Order Bonus.

(There is no doubt Mannatech Comp Plan is lucrative, but it will only be achieved through sales and you better be good at it. Your sales team better be good at it as well. Remember, these are everyday people you meet who hate telemarketers calling them, spam emails daily, and so on. Now you're going to make them into salesmen and women. Yes, it can be done but it's not easy by any stretch of the imagination. So wouldn't it be nice if residual income came by simply buying already existing customers? Please hold that thought.)

Mannatech wants to reward great leadership and I applaud them for it. You should be rewarded for keeping this massive sales force and customer base in place. This takes a considerable amount of talent. Wouldn't it be nice if buying existing customers is 90% of what it takes to succeed from the lowest level to the highest? Ok, then listen closely to what I'm about to say.

Mannatech is a great company that offers a tremendous product. Maybe you should take their product, but maybe you should reconsider the business opportunity attached to it. Ask yourself this question, Am I ready to become a Salesperson and train others to be likewise? Do I have the time and energy to pour into this business opportunity? Is this Good Business for me? Do You want to be invloved in SALES?

Typical Cost of Mannatech Leads: Cost To You; 25 Prospects $100 - $4 per Lead, 50 Prospects $196.25 - $3.93 per Lead, 120 Prospects $462 - $3.85 per Lead, 180 Prospects $639 - $3.55 per Lead.

NEVER BUY LEADS!!! Buying Leads is unnecessary, non-productive and out-dated.

There are a lot of people out there that don't like buying leads and we are one of the largest groups that considers buying leads unethical. I think lead sellers are people you should stay far-away from. But this is just my opinion.

That is why I buy customers. I refuse to cold call and annoy anyone. I have done it and don't like it! I have heard stories of people being hung up on, cursed at, and had to listen to people tell them that they wish they could get off the list that is being sold. So when you resort to this type of marketing to build your business it's no wonder why people quit sooner rather than later.

The best leads are the leads that you generate for yourself and that takes knowledge and technology.

So here's the deal.

What if I could show you a way that you would never need to resort to buying leads ever again? That you would never need to make a single cold call, no selling, no hang ups and no more wasted time. What would that be worth to you? It's Good Business!

ItsGoodBusiness.net has the unique approach of buying customers and growing your business through a large retail customer base. That's paying customers already purchasing your product, not a lead. The opportunity to purchase customers instead of leads ensures long term residual income for the life of the customer relationship. You need to stop spending your time trying to convince the few interested leads you have to take action. At itsgoodbusiness.net your customers already know they want your product and are sold. It makes good business sense to buy customers and stop wasting your time trying to sell something to somebody.
