At a recent event with Network Marketing industry trainer, Dani Johnson asked her audience about making a list of 200 people and actually calling all of them about their business…
Transforming MLM:
The lady (Dani) had asked her audience how many of them had made a list of
200 names when they began their business building and actually called
all those people?Approximately 5% of the entire group, 33 people, had done so. Revealing enough as was… and there’s more. Of those people…
1. All were making money in network marketing.
2. Nearly half (15 of them) were six-figure income earners.
3. And three of those people had earned a million dollars.Hans concludes that means if you call your list of 200 names you have:
a 10% chance of earning $1 million.
a 50% chance of earning a six-figure income.
a 100% guarantee of earning money!This
fun with numbers has (at least) one other interesting facet: Remember
that bit about 95% of all the people who come into network marketing
are struggling, failing and are destined to quit within the year?Any correlation with actually talking to people?
There is an obvious correlation between the effort people put into their business and the results in Network Marketing. I would offer that finding the right company is also important.
Hint: The right company is not Quixtar.
Hint: Quixtar is an excellent opportunity!
Have you actually given any real thought to positively promoting yourself and your many, many blogs and posts? I'm actually serious. I would think the constant criticism and attacking would just burn someone out emotionally after a while.
I don't want to see someone in Quixtar make a list of 200 people, call them and not make any money, which is possible.
If you logically look at the company, you would understand what I am talking about.
Is that not possible in any endeavor?
The liklihood of making money with Quixtar is worse than most companies in the Network Marketing industry. I say that from personal experience and from speaking with over 300 current and former Quixtar IBOs.
I never made a profit in Amway/Quixtar over a long period of time…3 years after I left, I made 6 digits in Network Marketing.
Ty, do you know what MLM businesses Dani was and is still apart of? She claims to have made $$$$$ millions in her career and I was told she has several down-line teams she still works with even though she is focusing her main efforts on her generic training programs. I have inquired but have not received an answer as to which ones she really has built team with.
Dani Johnson is not involved with a company that I know of and I asked a few other industry leaders to confirm.
Thank-you for the quick reply. I'm even more curious now as to the conflicting information I've received. I can see both sides of the issue as to why she and her partners would want to keep their former business ventures in mlm a secret but odd none the less. It would confirm proof that she actually did what she claimed in her seminars and ads. Making millions and sponsoring in the thousands.
Actually, Hans Johnson's conclusion of his so-called "case study" is not only highly flawed, it's highly inaccurate. Anyone who's actually studied and understands Statistics will easily recognize this. In fact, his conclusion is extremely laughable.
Firstly, the "audience" itself was highly skewed. Attendees of these seminars are NOT an accurate cross-section, example or "random sample" (by any means) of the average home business/MLM person. Not at all!
Secondly, there were only 33 people in the audience. Only 33…all of whom were actual attendees of this particular seminar. That, in and of itself, makes it a "highly skewed" sampling of the home business/MLM population. This simply invalidates all such correlations. In other words, if you only have 33 people (all of whom actually attended the seminar) then you ain't got shit! It is in NO WAY representative of any person or of any group of people. It's crap, plain and simple.
And thirdly, I'm not going to waste any more of my time explaining how Hans' conclusion is complete bullshit. I have much better things to do.
He's obviously advertising for his other half (Dani Johnson), who makes her bread and butter by selling HER OWN stuff, NOT the products and services of an MLM like the average MLM distributor does.
Bottom line, the whole conclusion is a joke. Sorry Hans, you fail Statistics miserably!
Shine on,

Aaron,
I believe that there were 33 people in the audience that made a list of at least 200 people and called them.
The statistics may be flawed (what stats aren't?) but the general point is a good one.
The 5% that are putting in real work to build a business seem to be doing very well in this industry.
Thanks for the clarification Ty. 🙂 Even though the statistics are out of whack, you're absolutely right – those who actually put real work into a business are generally the ones who do well.
Shine on,
Aaron
