Ann Sieg’s Renegade Marketer In Reverse

Most people that read The Renegade Network Marketer get very excited about the ability to generate their own leads. This is exactly why The Renegade System was developed. I personally prefer to use The Renegade in reverse. I will explain why…

The Renegade Network Marketer is sometimes referred to as a funded proposal system. This is an interesting term and simply means that when someone purchases The Renegade ebook from you, they become your lead. The fact that they purchased the ebook from you, means that they are funding you to propose your business to them.

I think in theory this is a great idea and there is no doubt that this works. There is only one problem that I see with this and that is; the more people that are pushing these kinds of funded proposal systems, the more competition there is for advertising. This means it will become increasingly expensive to advertise and more difficult to get people to notice your ads.

There are a number of possibilities as far as the types of people you will attract with this kind of funded proposal system;

1. People already in an mlm company who are happy

2. People that are in an mlm company and are unhappy

3. People in no mlm company but are looking

People That Are Happy With Their MLM Company

There will be people that find your Renegade Marketer ads and marketing pieces that are happy with their company but are just looking for more information on how to become more effective in their business. Unless you are in a mlm company that is fairly universal and complimentary, it will be difficult to propose anything to them.

I for example, I am working with a greeting card and post card company that offers exceptional quality greeting cards for a 1/3 of the cost you pay in a supermarket. Most mlmers could make use of this service no matter what company they are working with as it fits into an overall balanced marketing strategy. There are a number of other companies that have this universal type quality.

For me, universal means that your product is going to help people be more effective in the marketing of their primary mlm business.

Offline marketing is an excellent way to follow up with customers and prospective clients.

If you are going to promote a funded proposal system such as The Renegade Network Marketer, I would suggest having a complementary company that you can work in tandem with your primary company. This way you have something to propose to these people that are actually happy with their current company.

Ann Sieg is a advocate of multiple streams of income and this is an excellent example of this.

The other thing about The Renegade Network Marketer System is that even when you do attract prospects that are in this grouping, it is still possible to make commissions and have them seek your advice and get paid for it. Ann Sieg recently did an interview with successful Renegade Marketer Willy Lim and he talks about how this has been working for him. It is a very interesting interview, you can Listen To That Here…

People That Are Unhappy With Their MLM Company or MLM Experience

The next people are the unhappy campers. These people will be open to changing companies but they are going to be harder to work with because they are unhappy and most likely a little wary of network marketing. There is also the possibility that they were just looking to fix their current situation rather than get into a new situation.

These people would be less likely to join you in your ‘universal company’ because if they are unhappy, they are also probably unproductive. They possibly have restricted cash flow which is why they purchased the ebook in the first place.

If you can help these people make sense out of the whole Internet marketing venture and they get into positive cash flow, then latter on down the track, you will have a high chance of them joining you in one of your businesses (more likely your universal one).

This is an approach that is based on developing a long term relationship with people. I feel this is a very good approach but you will need to be prepared to help these people along the way. The more systematised the training you offer these people the better it will be for you. If you have something in place that these people can follow, it will mean that you are not continually duplicating your efforts.

The Renegade Professional is an excellent example of generic mlm training and will allow those people to learn what the need to learn to be successful in their business and without too much effort you can guide them through and build a long standing relationship built on trust and service their needs over yours.

I genuinely want people to excel in their primary business and am helping them do this. They never feel like I am trying to pull them away from their business (because I am not) and yet we get to work together in a very productive way.

It truly is a win/win situation.

The key is to invest in people first and truly want to help them succeed. Once they trust that this is your intention, they are happy to join your ‘universal business’. I often tell people to spend their marketing budget elsewhere and join with me when they have positive cash flow and a budget that allows it. At this point they really understand that I have their best interest at heart.

I have heard of salespeople being referred to as Farmers or Hunters.

I like to think of myself as a person who is the farmer type; a person that cultivates relationships over time. I guess their is no right or wrong. It is just a matter of what suits your personality.

Many people love the concepts that Ann Sieg teaches in The Renegade Network Marketer but don’t want to go to the trouble of creating their own systems to help the prospects that they attract through the Renegade system as it is too time consuming.

This is where the Renegade Professional training program comes into it own. One of the great things is that they have a Free Membership area that gives a lot of information on how to get started with Internet marketing and how to use the Renegade Marketing system to generate leads for you mlm business.

People That Have No MLM Company

These are obviously the best kind of Renegade Marketer prospects to speak with. The competition for these prospects is very fierce and so these people will have opportunities coming at them from all angles. It is increasingly more difficult to stand out from the crowd. I am not saying that it can’t or shouldn’t be done, I just think there is a better and more natural way.

I think rather than marketing your mlm opportunity it would be better to market your product and attract retail customers and then later on convert them to business builders when they show interest in the business.

When I say marketing your product, what I really mean to say is marketing your solution to peoples problems. Look at it this way, if your product is effective for migraine headache, the person with a migraine headache is not going to be searching for your product, they are going to be searching for a migraine cure. If this is something you know a lot about, then you could build a website around this.

Here is a wonderful example of a website http://www.adhdawareness.com/ using this principle. This is a site that sells products but first and foremost it is selling solutions for ADHD. Take the time to read the intro, it is brilliant. If you had ADHD or even knew someone that was struggling with this condition, how would you feel when you read this? My bet is you would instantly sign up for more information and you would probably forward the site to people that you thought could benefit.

I have a website that is connected to Thank You Cards but you will not see any mention of mlm or my company on that site. It is the product that I am selling, not a mlm opportunity. This site is all about retail and wholesale sales of my product. You can see that site by going to http://YourThankYouCard.com

In the correspondence that you send to your customers, you can have a very subtle signature line such as www.HomeBusinessExpert.com or something like that. You could then have a very simple blog or website where you talk about what a difference having a home business has made in your life. You would have an opt-in form where the person can receive a free report and information about your methods of doing a home-based business. At this stage, the people are loyal and satisfied customers of yours; they feel they know and trust you. The chances of them opting in to your list are extremely high.

Your first email could be about how Ann Sieg has totally changed the way that you approach your home business and give a little story about that. You would then give them the link to the free report of Ann’s The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and arrange a time to get together with them on the phone.

This is what I would call The Renegade Network Marketer In Reverse. The prospects that you are attracting using this approach are extremely well qualified, what we would call a hot prospect.

At the end of the day, what ever way you approach it, as long as you are getting paid to advertise and attract people into your business, you are in a good position.
