We All Know Donald Trump – Billionaire Real Estate Mogul & Reality TV Star, but What Exactly is The Trump Network?
Donald Trump is famous for his hair, his real estate dealings and for his outspoken opinions. As a guest on Oprah, he was asked, “If you went bankrupt again what would you do?” His reply… “I would start an MLM business.” The audience response was, “BOOOOO!” to which The Donald responded, “That’s why you’re sitting there and I’m sitting here.”
Well, Mr. Trump has not gone bankrupt again, but he has followed through with his idea of starting an MLM company – his own – The Trump Network.
To be specific Donald Trump bought the network marketing company formerly known as Ideal Health which was originally established in 2003. What sets this health & wellness company apart from the crowd is its use of personal testing to provide customized nutritional supplements for their clients.
Ideal Health, now The Trump Network, uses a system called ”PrivaTest” which checks the most critical metabolic markers to show where nutritional support is needed and how little or how much is the correct amount for that particular individual - no “one size fits all” supplementation here!
Donald Trump Endorses Network Marketing
The pre-launch hype began several months before The Trump Network was officially launched in November 2009. This very public endorsement of the Multi-Level Marketing Industry by billionaire Trump, albeit via his own company, is expected to be a very big boost to Network Marketing overall.
The Manhattan Billionaire real estate mogul’s involvement is anticipated to be a game changer. It is expected that people who avoided network marketing in the past will now take a closer look at the network marketing industry as a viable option.
The high profile of Donald Trump has also attracted a number of high profile, “big guns” in the MLM industry. It’s not all that uncommon for a leader in network marketing to move from one company to another. Companies close, products fall out of favor, competition becomes too fierce – there are lots of reasons why successful leaders change companies.
A “google” search of The Trump Network reveals that several MLM leaders were building their teams prior to the company’s official launch.
The website of one of the organizations, NetworkTeam1.net, states that it “is supported by some of the industries’ top sponsors and Network Marketers.” Their site also boasts that, “Our powerful downline contains many Super Networkers who are well known around the country.” Another Trump Network team lead by network marketing professionals is enrollQ.com whose website says new enrollees will be “mentored by Veteran Network and Internet Marketers, Team Leaders and Executives” who will help you to “Discover Why We are the Best Team For You To Join.”
The Trump Network / Ideal Health Compensation Plan
For those who want to know how the comp plan works, here’s a brief synopsis. Distributors with a “Platinum” qualification and above get 7% (7,7,7,7,5,3) up to 6 levels in a Unilevel with compression (with up to a combined 23% more in Platinum and Platinum Maximizer bonuses). For people below the Platinum level (5000 CGV + 3 Silvers) the percentage is reduced to 4% (4,3,2,1) up to 4 levels in depth. There are also two bonus pools for those who attain the Diamond and Executive Diamond Director Levels.
The “FastStart Way” is another option available to new business owners ($48 Membership + $449 Business Starter Kit). This program automatically qualifies a new enrollee to receive FastStart bonuses. $100 is paid weekly to the individual who signs up a new FastStart Way member, plus $20 is paid weekly to the 1st – 6th upline qualified Silver Directors and above.
In order to take full advantage of the FastStart Way, you must be at least at the Silver Director Level. The Silver Director Level requires a minimum of $100 in personal Commissionable Volume (CV) and 3 Director Legs who each have $100 CV with a minimum of $600 in Compressed Group Volume (GV).
Director, Bronze, Silver & Gold Levels are categorized as “Learning” Levels. Platinum & Platinum Director 1-3 are the “Supplemental Income” Levels and the “Wealth Creation” Levels are Diamond, Diamond 1-3 & Executive Diamond Director. Hopefully, you’re earning while you’re at the “Learning” Levels. It would also be nice if the “Supplemental Income” levels paid at least as much as a part time job.
What’s the Secret to Success? - the Company, the Team, the Comp Plan – Or is it the Strategy?
Will being a part of the most experienced team or having the most lucrative compensation plan give you the key to financial freedom with The Trump Network or, for that matter, any other MLM company? To reach the level of success you desire in The Trump Network or whatever network marketing company you choose, there are a few very important principals you need to understand and apply.
Far and away, the first, and most important piece of the success puzzle is YOU. You are the “secret ingredient” in your recipe for success. The thoughts and beliefs that you hold and the attitudes and actions that come from those beliefs are ultimately the reasons why some succeed and some do not.
Another key component you need to understand, is that regardless of whether you join The Trump Network or some other company – you’re not in the network marketing business – you’re in the PEOPLE business. This industry is all about relationships. Not only do your potential distributors want to work with someone who can help them, but they also want to be associated with a person they like and trust. The old adage is true, “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.”
As much as you might want to believe all the “get rich quick” promises you may have heard or seen on the internet, it takes work and it takes time to succeed. It seems as if some people don’t understand that it’s called netWORK marketing for a reason. There are a lot of bold promises of the easy way to wealth, but if it were really that easy, wouldn’t everyone be doing it? Without knowing each of them personally, I can promise you that there’s not a single MLM superstar who hasn’t paid the price that it takes and has earned the right to be where they are.
This final point is very valuable and will assist you in the achievement of your goals in a shorter time frame than ever before possible. The fact is that there are a significant number of established MLM leaders who have earned their fortunes using the “old fashioned” methods – making lists of family & friends and attending meetings in hotels and living rooms across town – and, despite what anyone says, these methods still work and should not be completely discarded.
However, the world is a different place than it was 20 or 30 years ago, and with what’s going on in the economy today there are millions of people looking for ways to make extra income – and they’re doing it by searching the internet.
Today, you need to know the secrets that Online Network Marketing Professionals are using – strategies that will have people asking you what network marketing company you’re in because they want to be part of your organization. You can learn the techniques that transform you from being the “hunter” to the “hunted.”
Those strategies are what you’ll learn as we work together to help you succeed in The Trump Network. Go to http://www.MLMLeadershipTeam.com for more information.
