Welcome Hi, my name is Matthew Yonan. I was first exposed to Network Marketing/MLM when the Amway business was presented to me years ago when I was in college. The business presentation and some of the ideas really made sense to me. The idea that I was not going to get ahead trading time for money (as I only had so much time) and that one of the few ways get beyond that was to own a lot of land, own my own business or inherit a lot of money. Since I was not planning on getting any kind of inheritance, owning my own business made the most sense to me, and so I proceeded to work hard at building my Amway business for 2 years. I was successful at recruiting some people, but they could never duplicate that success and my business went nowhere so I ended up dropping out. I still held on to that dream of finding a way to get ahead. I did go onto start my own business with my uncle. I worked with him in getting a small tile installation business off the ground and grew it to over 12 employees. It was a lot of work and investment. Even as hard as we were working, after all our expenses and overhead, I ended up making only slightly more than I did if I was doing the work myself. This got me to reconsider what kind of business I wanted to own. I knew that what I was doing would not get me into the lifestyle of time freedom and money that I wanted, and that I would have a tough time getting enough money to pay down my debts and even to retire. Reading the news and seeing stories of how many pension funds were going under, and I knew how I did not want to HAVE to be working into my later years. It is different if you have a hobby or a business you do because you want to, versus, working at something because you have to. I wanted to work at something that I liked to do that would pay me for years. This got me looking online for businesses and opportunities to make money from home as I was really sick of driving around all day, and really getting nowhere. I would get home tired, after a long day, and did not have the time, money, or energy to do the things I really wanted to do with my life. I researched and tried many online businesses, and I kept returning to network marketing/ MLM as the business to have, as that approach has created more millionaires than any other business method, along with being able to offer residual income with a successful business. It also used the advantages of leverage, which meant the bigger my business got, I would get paid more and more, even though I was working the same amount. Also the idea that I could work hard at a business for a couple of years, and then enjoy the results of my efforts for many more years really appealed to me. As I worked at some of the businesses I found, I had success with some, but mostly failure. The weak link for any of these businesses was their marketing and presentation system, and not having a proven way for duplicating their business. They had plenty of “ideas” but none of them worked for my downline. I had been involved with a couple businesses that I found I could grow – in one I helped build a downline of over 10,000 people. It quickly fell apart and most people had quit in 3 months as no one could duplicate the recruiting I was. In the other, I had basically the same problem, I was able to recruit people and new members were not able to repeat that and duplicate, so another downline faded away. That business is where I met my sponsor Shane Woods. Shane was in another downline than me, and we were both actively looking to find something that worked for the new person. He called me one night and invited me to join with him in this business. One of the most interesting aspects that he told me about AutomaticBuilder/Nutronix was that they had an automated presentation system with many proven methods of advertising. Listening to the excitement in his voice got me excited, so I gave him my credit card over the phone and had him get my business going that night. I listened in on some conference calls and after listening to multiple success stories and the kind of leadership and team atmosphere that was in place, I had hope again that I found a business that could work. I started out slow and skeptical though, as I had been disappointed so many times before. Especially after my last failure in the business before, my wife also felt very cautious and skeptical. The other thing that was attractive to me about this business was that I could work at it very part time. I was in the process of starting a retail business online and did not have much free time to spend working my AutomaticBuilder/Nutronix business. The slow but steady progress this business made was one of the things that kept me coming back to this business time and time again. Success did not happen overnight for me. I had been in the business for a few months and basically had just used the GTT’s to bring in new members and about 11 of them upgraded. (GTT’s are Guaranteed Tour Takers). This was very encouraging, but no one was duplicating. I was watching to see how much the system would do on it’s own, as I needed to know that it did not depend on my personal skills to succeed. I listened to a conference call and a member who was having success was talking about the personal welcome email he sent to members and the kind of responses he was getting. Even though the system sends out follow-up and welcome emails for you, nothing beats the personal touch. I decided to give it one more go, bought another set of GTT’s and sent welcome emails to any members who joined, and sent emails to anyone who watched the presentation more than twice to encourage them to let me know if they had any questions, I would be happy to help get them answers. One of the members who joined from that set was Thom Gruber. He has gone onto to build a downline that makes up the majority of my business. When I first contacted Thom, he was excited and getting going, but he was frustrated as he thought he put his username wrong in a URL that he was sending out in an email campaign he had just bought. He was concerned that if he got any leads from that, they were going to end up at someone else’s site – instead of his. He also told me he had ordered a set of GTT’s. I said that was great, and to help make up for any people he could have lost from the mistake in his ad, that I would buy him a set of GTT’s to make up for it. Let’s just say that when those 2 sets of GTT’s came in for Thom, he saw the real power and potential of this business and got really enthusiastic about what he could achieve with this business and went about achieving it. I won’t tell you Thom’s story here, I will let him tell you that. I just want to point out that Thom came from another Network Marketing company where he was not finding the success or duplication he was looking for to succeed. As you will see, one of your best tools in this business is helping your new members see that for themselves. Once they see the power and potential of this system, and they know you are behind them, they will be the driving force behind your success. I feel very blessed and honored to be a part of this business and to work with the leaders I do. Being a part of the Advanced Training calls and hearing the success stories and results people have had from the strategies and training we have covered there has been really gratifying. I am excited to welcome you to the beginning of your business as I share the roadmap for success with you. Do not make the mistake that because you got this book for free and I did not charge you to have access to it, the information contained inside is not worth thousands of Dollars. It is the equivalent of having a top leader work with you side by side in starting and growing your business. I look forward to meeting you at one of the Conventions, hearing your testimonial on one of the conference calls or reading about it in our online newsletter. As you will find in business as in life, there is no great reward than helping others find success and freedom. There is also almost no limit to what we can do, except the limits we place on ourselves. I am very excited about what you can do with your future with us! <Next Page> <Home> |
