More about that 95%...

Art Jonak once told me you can say anything from the stage (I assume, in print as well) and have people believe it's fact if you cite it as such... "Research has proven... quack, quack, quack." Doesn't matter what you say. Can be totally made up. But if you quote an authority people will believe you and take what you just said as absolute truth.

With that preamble, here are some very interesting numbers offered up as a "case study" I received from a forwarded eMail originally sent out by Hans Johnson, other half of red hot mlm training phenom Dani Johnson.

The lady had asked her audience how many of them had made a list of 200 names when they began their business building and actually called all those people?

Approximately 5% of the entire group, 33 people, had done so. Revealing enough as was... and there's more. Of those people...

1. All were making money in network marketing.
2. Nearly half (15 of them) were six-figure income earners.
3. And three of those people had earned a million dollars.

Hans concludes that means if you call your list of 200 names you have:

a 10% chance of earning $1 million.
a 50% chance of earning a six-figure income.
a 100% guarantee of earning money!

This fun with numbers has (at least) one other interesting facet: Remember that bit about 95% of all the people who come into network marketing are struggling, failing and are destined to quit within the year?

Any correlation with actually talking to people?

Thanks.
I appreciate you.
