Spend time on things that are profitable not on things you like. This was a main point made by Chris Doyle at Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing Spring Fling 2009 in the context of treating your Fortune business as a business. It is common knowledge that a business takes money and time on a daily basis. No one should join FHTM, or any other MLM, with the expectation of being rich overnight.

You are starting your own MLM network marketing business using the systems, products and training from that MLM. FHTM reputedly provides the best back office, tools, training support, services, etc. But your own business needs one more thing, YOU. You are in control of the effort spent on your FHTM business. And the key to success is recruitment.

In an ideal world you would tell in 3 people about FHTM and they bring in three people and your business would grow and grow without any effort on your part. If this would all happen because of a great email you sent and you never had to talk to anyone, all the better. Wouldn't that be nice? It just doesn't happen that way.

If you are not a people person then you may want to reevaluate your choice of business or partner with someone who is. A partnership, such as husband and wife, can be very successful when one of the two recruits and the other one takes care of other business. That could range from all the paperwork, well computer work these days, setting up meetings, or answering the team's questions. It's all about people whether you call it recruitment, network marketing or prospecting.

You need to recruit and then provide leadership for the team you are developing. However, many FHTM new reps get focused on the little things that they think are wrong with the program. Or they spend days and weeks 'learning' the program. Scott Aguilar often says "It's better to be ignorance on fire than knowledge on ice."

Recruiting techniques should become second nature to the new rep. This could be the excellent duplicable formula provided by FHTM. And it is extremely successful.

This is why it is so valuable for reps to attend meetings. FHTM reps should take every opportunity to learn from the top earners like Joel McNinch, Ruel Morton, Chris Doyle, Todd Rowland, Pastor Jerry Brown, Gilbert Anderson, Bob Decant, JoAnne McMahon, Steve Jordan, Terry and Sandi Walker, Roger McKay or Sheri Winter. And the best example of all, Paul Orberson the million dollars a month network marketer and founder of Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing.

The MLM network marketing concept is based on the numbers proposition. And that is not a bad thing. The most benefit is gained when you build a large downline. The small effort of many will always be greater than the larger effort of one. It is essential to understand the value of leverage to be a successful network marketer. And keep in mind, your next recruit could be the next MLM superstar.

What stops people from recruiting? Simply, it is the fear of rejection. Hearing that 'no' is not easy. No one signs up everyone they talk to. Keep your eye on the goal because every time someone says 'no', it increases the odds that the next person will say 'yes'.

In a July, 2009 speech, Paul Orberson said, "Network marketing is only fun when you don't have to do it anymore." and "I hate recruitment." Wow, this is from the most successful man in network marketing history. Of course recruiting is hard. And people hide behind complaints about the program or time limitations or something else. What is his point? You will 'survive long enough to succeed' only if you put in the time and effort to recruit new reps and train those to do the same.
