Hi Readers,

Let’s continue our series of trainings on tools to grow your MLM business.

A few months ago I was introduced to a series of training tools specifically for the direct sales and MLM industry.  The flagship training tool is a game about the direct sales industry. If you’re familiar with Robert Kiyosaki then you might be familiar with the Cashflow games.  This game is a lot like Cashflow but in it you build a direct sales/network marketing business.

In Residual Income you start out with a profession. You could be a teacher, a landscaper, a house wife, a corporate executive, or even a plumber. You have a job income and expenses. You also have a number of prospects and personal effectiveness points (or skills) based on your profession. Your goal is to go around the game board and build your network marketing business. As you build your business your income goes up and you earn promotions in your company eventually allowing you to quit your job and pursue your business full-time.

One of the really cool aspects of the game is that there are several tasks you can do to grow your business. The game doesn’t pick the tasks for you. Often you have to pick between prospecting, personal development, or team development. This choice provides some really powerful insight into why certain people are failing in their business. Sometimes people spend too much time trying to build a team BEFORE they have a team. Other times they don’t spend enough time prospecting and quickly run out of prospects.

Another great aspect of the game is that the game provides ideas for people. The cards that each player draws often have new ideas or techniques on them. Some cards are “practice” cards which include scripts that your team members have to practice on other people. This is both a great training because some of the scripts might be useable by your team members and also provides good practice so they can begin to get comfortable talking to others. Finally some cards provide tasks like making lists of dreams and goals or performing memory joggers to find new prospects.

The Residual Income game is only one of the training tools provided by RI Technologies. Tomorrow I’ll talk about some of the other training tools they provide.
