Michael Dlouhy is one of those "New MLMers" who "breaks the mold." Every person loves a rebel, specially network marketers. We all would like to believe there is a gentleman in the the human race that thumbs his nose at convention and is still a enormous success. For many Michael Dlouhy fills this part.
The thing is he's not exactly new to MLM as some of the articles written on him imply. He hasn't come up with some original way of compensating distributors and a original method of MLM. Similar to many individuals who have made an effect on the MLM business industry, you have to unravel by means of some layers of recruiting rubbish to catch an knowledge of a person's resume and experience. However Mr. Dlouhy isn't as difficult to track down as others are in this regard.
The man makes no bones about his childhood woes and an 8th grade education. His straightforwardness about this leaves one to wonder about if it is the tale of a man who has overcome chances and is at stillness with himself or uses his past as a recruiting method. In truth an belief on this without one first hand interaction depends on a person's own sense of belief on such topics.
Beginning on a MLM standpoint, his "come along if you want" along with passive recruiting techniques appear to work efficiently for him. This is not to say he doesn't assertively handle his big business, he totally does. While hosting quite a few webinars and conferences calls in a week on occasion, the man is looking for prospects, he truly has built a better mousetrap. The bait is his offer to the marketer of a free adviser who has been there, the trip to the trap is your own curiosity as a prospect. It's a impressive tactic to employ and doubles as a initial layer in filtering out who the go-getters are. According to Dlouhy himself he started MLM in 1979, went full time in 1991. Between '91 and '92 he joined an astounding one hundred different companies to "understand everything there is to know about the business."
Apparently he has discovered a bit from these businesses as he has published two ebooks "SuccessIn10Steps" and "Powerful Networking Secrets". These books equally are well thought of by a lot of other profitable multi-level marketers and received nicely by the population at large.
However do the added hours used on free calls and the free ebooks plus the open bluntness make Dlouhy the next coming? Hardly. His approach to things is a tactic, plain and simple. The at no cost conferences and frankness to marketers involved in other businesses are a marketing method for his own business. If you gaze at it from a separate standpoint, it makes perfect sense. You hold a multi-million dollar success story in an alternative business offering to mentor your own downline and illustrate them how to grow to be successful. This rock star will do it for free of charge and won't even mention his own business opportunity. Why not invite him aboard? The guy's an open book, right?
The rub on this is that by being an open book, by being the nice guy he is able to draw the cream of the crop. The people who will pursue excellence are the same individuals who will engage the time to discover out who this guy is and pursue him as a mentor. Setting up a motivated down line similar to that is worth "giving away" fifteen hours a week of phone time. Which actually still works today.
Is Michael Dlouhy a nice guy? Maybe, I don't know the man. Although I do observe his recruiting techniques and the results from them. Like hiding candy in obvious vision, his methods are brilliant and a sure advantage to the folks who pay attention to his free conferences and to Dlouhy himself.
