Recruitment and FHTM Words of Advice From Paul Orberson

Put your time and effort into things that are profitable not just things you like to do. 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.



Like all MLM network marketing, you are starting your own business using the system/products of 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. How great would that be? 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. There are very successful FHTM husband and wife teams where one talks to people, recruits, shows the program and the other 'takes care' of the everything else. That could be back office chores, record keeping, setting up meetings and answering FHTM questions. It's all about people whether you call it recruitment, network marketing or prospecting.



You need to provide leadership for the team you are developing but first you must recruit. To avoid that, many new FHTM reps focus only on the things they don't like about the program. Or 'learning' the program becomes their passion taking days and weeks to accomplish. "It's better to be ignorance on fire than knowledge on ice" says Scott Aguilar.



Recruiting techniques should become second nature to the new rep. This could be the excellent duplicable formula provided by FHTM. This formula 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. Understanding the value that leverage gives you is essential to a successful network marketing career. And you never know if you might be recruiting the next MLM superstar.



What stops people from recruiting? It is the fear of rejection. Hearing that 'no' is not easy. Even the most successful didn't sign up everyone they ever recruited. 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. Yes, recruiting is hard. Complaining about the program or lack of time to recruit or anything else is just an excuse. 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.
