My MLM Story

As many others, I too wanted to find a way to earn a little (or much) more money than I already was making. Before SBI , I was introduced to network marketing. The year was 2001 and I couldn't believe how simple it was. I literally saw myself having things I dreamed about within 1 year instead of 10 years. All I thought was, “What can beat residual income?!?"

In my mind I was thinking that all I had to do was get three people to sign up. There are over 250 million people in the US and if I can't find 3 I must be sick in the head.. Along with that all I needed was to maintain a certain amount of customers. There was no time limit, I couldn't get fired, there was no boss, and I work for myself (but not by myself).

I had to find those 3 people and customers through friends and family that I already knew which was even better. I already knew them so they would trust me. Plus I probably wouldn't get many rejections from them.

My list consisted of approximately 100 people. Around 25 of them I could call up right away and pique them due to the fact that we talk on a weekly basis. Around 40 of them I was a little cautious because they were people that I knew but we would only talk when we passed each other.

My RVP told me to put them on the list anyway and even to put him on there. The reason was because he or those people I didn't get along with may remind me of someone else I forgot to put on the list.

Months later I realized that I had 5 warm market friends and family I had left on my list. It is true that every six months we will know more people than we did prior to that but that 6 months didn't come fast enough. If I wanted to meet qualifications and make commissions I needed to ATLEAST bring more people to meetings (and HOPE they see an opportunity for themselves).

If you read my About Me page you'll see that my personal life was taking a toll on me as well. I started getting desperate and looked into buying leads and even buying sign ups. I came across something called Site Build It and saw it as just another one of those programs trying to get me in. A couple of weeks later I looked at it again just to see what it was really about.

To me it was a program that helped you generate leads through a website that you build on your own. Due to the fact that I had experience building websites I decided to take a deeper look to see if THEY knew what they were talking about.

I am a logical person so I needed to know exactly HOW they did this and how can they guarantee that I would get some REAL leads. I thought to myself, "People calling me to find out about what I'm offering? yeah right!"

I read just about EVERY PAGE on their site. It took me 3 months to decide to accept this program for two reasons. It took me that long to read the whole website due to my busy schedule in addition to me evaluating if it was worth my time. All I needed was PROOF that this will work if I apply myself.

I am getting back on my feet slowly but surely because of the leads I am getting. I am even making money just by people visiting the website. I spend more time with SBI than my MLM company ONLY because I feel that without SBI I would have no MLM business. There are other companies similar to SBI but NONE are comparable.
