His personal organization is over 4 million distributors in 40+ countries and does more than $2 Billion annually in sales. Read it again, Yes, it is correct $2 BILLION!
The “Father of Modern MLM”
Dexter is not only one of the most successful Leaders in MLM, he is also one of the most influential Guru’s network marketing has ever seen. He earned the title “Father of Modern MLM” by creating, along side his Networking Empire, a business that develops and distributes Training, “Tools” and Personal Development materials.
It is fair say that most of the training and personal development programs used by modern MLM’s have origins Dexter’s materials. Since Dexter, “Tools” and Personal Development Materials have become a staple in the MLM industry. Nearly all successful MLM businesses operating throughout the world understand their importance and capitalize on their sales.
Will his Training and Method work for Me?
Knowing all of the above, you left wondering… Will this work for me?
If you are looking to follow his prospecting recruiting and business development training you need to remember that Dexter Yager’s Networking Empire was built decades ago, and he has not personally sponsored anyone into his team in many, many years.
Four decades of success for the millions of people through the world cannot be denied. However since building his empire, the world has changed drastically. Think about the development of the cell phone, the personal computer, the Internet, Google…
This shift over the last decade in the market has paralyzed many in the Dexter Empire. This is because they are using strategies that are more than a little behind the times. There are more effective ways to prospect and more efficient methods to present and recruit.
Let me recommend that as you continue to study Dexter Yager, you want to focus on his Dream Building as well as Personal Development Training’s. While over the last 10 years much of my parents Amway Training has wilted away, a quote from Dexter has stuck with me and will remain with me forever. “If the Dream is BIG enough the Facts don’t Matter.”
It is so important that the Modern Networker have a strong foundation in personal development. If you are able to combine these training’s of Dexter Yager, with the basics of prospecting, presenting and recruiting in the 21st century, you will soar like an eagle to the heights of your Comp Plan.
I’ve personally tried the old fashioned outdated methods and realized that they did not work for me in the modern market. I needed a different way. It was then that I discovered the Exact Formula used by modern day 7-Figure Industry Leaders. Using this Formula I have been able harness the power of modern technology to put my MLM on Cruise Control. Never again will I pay for leads, cold call prospects, or have to sell them on my business.
