Who Do I Recruit Into My Business?

I recently wrote a newsletter with the subject:

“How to Easily Raid Someone’s Downline for Profit!”

Obviously, with such a strong headline, it captured the attention of thousands of my readers.  Many were thinking to themselves, “Has Todd finally lost it?  Is he really teaching people how to do something like that?” 

Of course, the subject matter of the newsletter was me expressing my opinion about how I really feel about this subject and educating my listeners and readers about what they should do with regard to this recruiting concept that is often widely spread as the “best” way to get good people fast.  

Let me make my point CRYSTAL CLEAR.  I do not condone or suggest that anyone spend their time recruiting network marketers from another company.  In fact, I've never condoned it.

The reason I am writing this and providing you with the following statistics is because I am constantly having people email and call me asking "How do I recruit network marketers?"

My answer to most people is simple.  I say this, "You obviously know who I am, don't you?  Do you think I am capable of recruiting people and building an organization?"  Of course, they say "yes" to both of those questions. 

My next question to them is this:  "How would you like it if I got a hold of your genealogy report, using the skills that I have, and tore apart your organization piece by piece?  Would that make you happy?"  Of course, their answer to that is ALWAYS "No!"

I live my life by The Golden Rule:  Do unto others as you'd have done to you. 

There is ZERO need for you to go attack someone else's group who I’m quite sure have worked incredibly hard to get where they are.  It disgusts me when people's primary focus is raiding someone else's organization.  Where are their business ethics? 

Now…if you know FOR SURE that a company is having problems, or they are about to go out of business, then you’re certainly justified in helping those distributors find a new, more stable home. 

So, now that you know my real feelings about this subject, let me give you some statistics that you might find interesting. 

Currently, there are roughly 49 million in people who are involved in Direct Sales globally. 

The US Population is approximately 303 million.  There are over 7 Billion people living on planet earth.  

The average minimum wage in the US is $6.55/hr in 2008.  Let's say that a person who is working for minimum wage works A LOT of hours per week.  And, let's take it to the extreme, meaning working 12 hours per day, 7 days per week.  That's a total of 84 hours in a week!  Here's what they'd earn:  

$786 per week

$3144 per month

$37,728 per year

That's BEFORE taxes!  And, that's also suggesting they worked 52 weeks a year, 7 days a week, 12 hours per day!  How many people can work that much?  Even God says to work 6 and take your 7th day for rest and spiritual time.   

I make more than that in a month!  I don’t say that to brag, but my goodness!  Try raising a family on that type of income and you’re in for a rough road ahead.    

Instead of attacking downlines and talking to people who you can make a bunch of money off of, why not go after people who could really USE a chance in life?

I went directly to the US Department of Labor website and pulled down some very interesting statistics that go perfectly with some of the philosophies I teach related to prospecting and business building.    

Advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales managers held about 583,000 jobs in 2006.

Advertising sales agents held over 170,000 jobs in 2006.

Insurance sales agents held about 436,000 jobs in 2006.

In 2006, real estate brokers and sales agents held about 564,000 jobs; real estate sales agents held approximately 77 percent of these jobs.

Retail salespersons held about 4.5 million jobs in 2006.

Manufacturers' and wholesale sales representatives held about 2 million jobs in 2006

Sales worker supervisors held about 2.2 million jobs in 2006.

Securities, commodities, and financial services sales agents held about 320,000 jobs in 2006.

Travel agents held about 101,000 jobs in May 2006 and are found in every part of the country.

Now, most of these people are NOT in the minimum wage category.  You noticed I didn’t put “burger flippers” into this list. 

These are people that are HIGHLY LIKELY to respond favorably to a message about a business they can do from home. 

Given the size of the US and Global population, and the need for people to EARN more and create FREEDOM in their lives, it sure makes sense to help those people now, doesn't it?

When I first began marketing my business to professionals, I never really knew the magnitude of the market we had at our disposal. 

I put together my "Insider Secrets to Recruiting Professionals Home Study Course" three years ago.  When I did so, I looked at those US Department of Labor stats and realized that we all had a major goldmine at our fingertips. 

So...instead of raiding someone's organization, why don't you try recruiting professionals for a change?

This article is not a sales pitch.  It is designed to OPEN YOUR EYES to the realization that there are plenty of people OUTSIDE our profession who need to hear the message of self-employment, freedom, unlimited earnings potential, residual income and leverage. 

Here’s what just a few people are saying about this very specific method I teach: 

"Using the strategies on this CD, I sponsored 12 of the first 36 real estate agents I contacted."  Lisa Sumiyoshi

"Ever since I began to apply Todd's unique strategies, I started to attract and sponsor high quality business professionals into my business.  Listening to Todd's success strategies has rubbed of on me as well as my entire team, and the results prove it.  And the best part is...I'm only 19 years old and just getting started!" Dakota Rea

"After hearing Todd speak about recruiting business professionals on one of our team calls, I decided to purchase his CD series 'Insider Secrets to Recruiting Professionals'.  I always wondered where all of the good people were.  After educating myself and

applying Todd's strategies and techniques, I realized that I was surrounded by business professionals.  I just needed to know where to look and what to say.  I was so impressed with what I learned that I decided to refer the product to my team.  It wasn't long thereafter that a gentleman in my organization got busy putting Todd's techniques to work.  Soon after, he enrolled a multi-million dollar luxury real estate producer who has strong contacts in over 100 countries!  If you're looking to attract real business professionals into your business, then this CD series is a MUST HAVE!" 

Chuck Sumpter

"Todd is simply the best of the best when it comes to prospecting!  The knowledge, skills, and techniques he not only possesses, but thankfully passes on to the rest of us are critical if you want to win in this game we play.  It's this exact information that has helped us become the top producers within our company.  Not only do I consistently learn from Todd, but I also recommend strongly to everyone on my team they do the same if they're serious about finding success in their enterprises.  Thank you Todd and keep it coming..."  Brian and Ramona Reinhardt 

"This is by far the best investment I have made in my network marketing business. I own many courses, by many speakers, but it's Todd's non-hysterical, no-messing around, direct style that make his information easy to apply and listen to over and over again.  Thanks Todd, for bringing the industry a voice that is such a joy to learn from!" Amy Critton 

"You really nailed it with this Insider Secrets training series.  Thank you so much for providing such powerful training to our industry.  It has completely revolutionized my perspective and helped me to help others in my team to think outside the box when it comes to different avenues available, for reaching quality prospects.  Keep up the great work!"  Alan Blain

"I was always a little hesitant in approaching other professional people about my business. I purchased your 'Insider Secrets to Recruiting Professionals' and WOW, what a change!  After listening to the CD's a couple of times I went to work.  I fumbled the first couple of times but after that the results were amazing. I recruited three Quality people in the first two weeks and have seven more in the pipeline."  Paul Lijeski

"In my first 10 days of using the course I was able to contact around 50 Realtors in 3 different cities. The results were phenomenal.  I was able to get information out to 26 of them. I can't begin to imagine how many cold leads I would have had to talk too to get them many presentations out. With following your advice and guidance in the course I can only get better and better.  You are the best Todd and I can thank you enough for taking the direction you have in training us to use your tools and skills.  I look forward to more things to come."  John Baron

"I just want to let you know I absolutely love your course and have recommended it to others on our team!  I've only been doing network marketing for 5 months now, have been using your approach for about the last week or so, have made a ton of phone calls, and have sent out 30+ packages within the last few days."

Nancy Carroll

I have another 50 or so testimonials that have been emailed to me from my clients, but won't bother putting them in here because they all say essentially the same thing...THIS STRATEGY WORKS!

So…rather than constantly re-circulating people from company to company, start fishing in a different pond.  Try thinking outside of the normal box and begin to look for opportunities that exist everywhere, whether you incorporate my strategy or not.

As you can see, there are literally millions of people worldwide that don’t even know what network marketing is all about.  Now…go out and get you some!
