Is there anything a customer hates more than someone who tries to SELL them something? Whether it’s at the car dealership, the perfume counter or at your front door, we’ve all fallen victim to the overzealous salesperson in our lives. The thing they don’t seem to realize is that no one buys anything from such a salesperson! So, what do we who sell Global Resorts Network memberships to do? The good news is, there are a number of ways to avoid being avoided.

The difference between trying to sell a product and having interested parties come to you is in how you market your business, product, and yourself. As the owner of an MLM or online home-based business you face some tough competition, which makes successful marketing all the more crucial. By the end of this article, you’ll know exactly how to take your marketing to the next level without resorting to the Reverse Funnel System.

Let’s take a look at MLMs.

A Quickly Growing Market

The world of Multilevel Marketing (MLM) is a seriously competitive field, as well as one in which it is very difficult to succeed. The appeal of MLM home-based businesses is that you are in business for yourself but not by yourself. The objective is to build a network through which to move your products. Income is derived from these primary sales as well as from sponsoring other distributors.

For a clearer picture of how to best market your MLM or home-based business, take a look at a stellar example of MLM - the Global Resorts Network business.

GRN offers benefits for members as well as distributors. For a one-time fee, members can travel to four and five star resorts of the unheard of price of about $298 a week. In addition, members receive deep discounts on airfares, cruises, and last-minute package deals. As an example of the savings, a family of six can book a vacation at a five star resort in Mazatlan using already-discounted Priceline for about $2369 per week. GRN members can book the same resort for $298 per week.

Benefits do not extend only to members. Affiliate distributors or MLM owners of Global Resorts Network businesses have the opportunity of taking part in the seven trillion dollar a year travel industry. For every membership they sell, they are paid $1000 in commissions. In addition, they also receive $1000 if one of the distributors whom they sponsor makes a sale. This way, Global Resorts Network business owners can doubly expand their income by actively selling as well as with “passive income.”

A great opportunity: But what about the actual “selling” – the job that so many people find so difficult and unappealing and which is time-consuming and ineffective? How can you effectively sell your product, GRN memberships for example, without having to resort to traditional (i.e. ineffective) sales tactics, cold-calling, and lead chasing? This is where your marketing platform or strategy comes in.

Understanding One Kind Of Marketing System

A marketing platform that is often associated with %Global Resorts Network % businesses is the Reverse Funnel System (RFS). This is not the only method of marketing your home-based business, but because it is often mentioned in the same circles, it is worth taking a look at. The RFS is touted as being a “hands-free online home-based business program” that can earn you thousands of dollars a week. In the program, MLM owners have the goal of building a network marketing organization and focusing on traffic generation to build income. The RFS takes bits and pieces of the Funded Proposal method (we’ll discuss this later). Budding entrepreneurs are told that they are “buying into a real business.”

What, however, is this “real business”? It can be difficult to tell. RFS websites sing the praises of the system without ever telling prospective business owners exactly what the product or service actually is. The aspect that sells potential business owners on the RFS is the automation. It “takes you out of the equation; you can’t mess it up,” according to their campaign. Fully automated and free of the messiness of human interaction, it claims to ensure success.

The RFS is one way of marketing your Global Resorts Network business, but by no means is it the only way. Owning a business is a crap shoot under any circumstances, and it is doubly so with MLMs. Remember, only about five percent of MLM home-based businesses make it. Why not give your endeavor the best chance at success?

You Have Options

As the owner of a home-based business, you have to be very aware of marketing. You can do this through methods like RFS, but an alternative that you may find to be more effective for your Global Resorts Network business is self-branding - making your business unique and recognizable amongst all the others out there. As an MLM home-based business owner, you have to ask yourself - why are people going to buy from you as opposed to another site? The simple answer is YOU.

You are, in essence, marketing you. This helps you develop a strong customer base founded on trust. You develop and build your brand – your business’s or your personal identity – and get noticed, which is key. Your brand is what separates you from the rest of the pack. This is not a one-size fits all approach, like turn-key businesses can be. This is personal. It is your business.

This is great in theory – and it is an effective marketing strategy. But what do you do about cash flow as you are building your brand and your customer base, especially when you have a relatively costly product? As a new or struggling home-based business owner, advertising and marketing probably take huge chunks of your operating budget. You might even go over budget. The solution? Another form of marketing called Funded Proposals.

Funded Proposals: A Crash Course

It is very difficult to sell a $3000 product to someone with whom you have no relationship. With Funded Proposals, your $3000 product becomes secondary. Your primary product will be an inexpensively produced and distributed line of products, such as ebooks, CDs and DVDs, newsletters, or email series. You can find many of these ebooks, CDs, DVDs, newsletters, and e-mail series for free. Items like these, while inexpensive to your customers, provide content they need. Instead of trying and trying to sell expensive products to make ends meet, you sell little items to generate both income and interest. The people who come to your site and opt to sign up for the inexpensive product become your prospects. You can develop trust with them and sell them the more expensive real product at a later time.

A funded proposal creates interest not only in your product but in buying it from you as well – which is where self-branding plays into this effective marketing strategy. You are not cold calling or pulling names out of a hat to try to get uninterested people to buy. You’ve already got their interest and now you can take your time ensuring you ge the sale.
For your home-based businesses, a generic information-related product like an ebook also appeals to the MLM market as a whole, not just those specifically interested in GRN. This allows you to expand your customer base and encourage others to become Global Resorts Network business owners, which adds to your passive income.

This kind of system works smoothly with self-branding. You develop your customer base; you build trust; you reap the benefits of your labors. It’s impossible to take the human element out of any business, who would want to? What makes you different as a person and a business is what makes shoppers want to buy from you as opposed to your competitors. It is what keeps your customers loyal to you.

Being the owner of your home-based business means you must be actively working to build your business. The worst thing you can do is nothing; you must be proactive. There are many ways to market your business. Whether that means using the RFS platform, self-branding, funded proposals, or other methods, you can give your Global Resorts Network business the best chance of success.
