NGR 01: Becoming Unique In The MLM Industry... - a podcast by Adam Blair

What's up everyone? This is Adam Baadsgaard. You're listening to the next generation MLM radio. I've spent my entire life in the network marketing industry.

Now me and a few partners are on an entirely different level, building a billion dollar brand that demonstrates how have value based system can assist anyone with becoming their best self, both personally and professionally.

The question so many people are wondering is how are they going to do it?...

This podcast is here to give you the answer. Come join me as I explained how to provide value to your audience with tools, systems, habits, and do it all with integrity. My name's Adam bad scar and welcome the next generation MLM radio.

Hey everybody, uh, you are in for a ride, a big ride. I believe. I am also. So, uh, one to welcome you. First of all, thanks for taking the time to listen to this. We are getting ready to embark on a journey to really shift an entire industry and it's not a small industry, it's a very big industry and we want to make a big difference in it.

And we want to make a big shift. So how do we get here? Uh, pretty much my entire life I've spent my entire life involved in some way or another in network marketing, in the MLM space, whatever you want to call it.

And what's happened basically is I've been working to try to find a place where we could take people that we care about someplace that feels right, someplace that works, right?

And what really ends up happening is you start looking at all these mlm start looking at all these network marketing companies and it seems like every single one of them is operating in some kind of fear based mentality.

Some kind of A...I'll give you a good example. A good example of a fear based mentality is, is paying too much for products. Having people pay too much for, for products, for the effect of those products make on people's lives.

People having to buy big packs, big inventory, so that they can have opened their business, quote unquote, and the company not treating that, the partners that they're working with, like partners almost treating them as if they're employees and, and you know, a big partner...somebody who goes out and does really well, big distributor goes out and does really well and they get tired of something the company's doing and they start looking for other places and just a mere rumor, a mere rumor that this person is looking at something can cost them their check and put them in a place where they're hurting financially.

Which is, in my opinion, totally ridiculous. And totally. Um, I, I think it should be illegal frankly. And then, you know, on top of all this, the direction that the network marketing industry is going.

Most companies, not all companies, but most companies nowadays are teaching people how to do social media marketing...

And, and you know, frankly, the thing that I have a problem with is, is they're just spamming people basically on facebook, instagram. So much so that facebook and instagram have had to change their algorithms to identify when somebody is doing a before and after picture.

You literally gets flagged if it's an advertisement...

So there's so many different things that are just absolutely ridiculous and uh, they're really based in fear. If you think about why a company would sue or pull a check from somebody who is looking at something else, well, they're afraid that they're gonna leave, right?

They're afraid they're going to find something better. My question to that owner, to the owner of that company is pretty straightforward. Well, what have you asked them why they'd want to leave? If they're making big money, have you have you taken the time to listen and understand why that leader would want to leave? And frankly none of them do.

All they do is super people and pull their checks. It's really ridiculous. It's very rare to see a company actually reinstate somebody without that person just grovelling and doing everything they can to bury the other thing that they were starting to get involved in.

It's just disgusting...

So I was getting frustrated. I was working with the person that had been involved in network marketing with my entire life, my dad, who's been very successful, done very well, and done it with a philosophy that, that network marketing done right is a lot of people doing a little bit.

So instead of these big packs, there's really two kinds of network marketers. There's what I call the sales guy, network marketer, and most companies are kind of trending towards those sales guys, big packs and make them big money so they can make big checks.

And uh, and then over time it's not really a, it's not really a user friendly situation. So big packs, big money, big checks, and over time it turns into a situation where, um, you know, the, it's not duplicatable. The average person in network marketing network marketing is supposed to be for the average person.

And, and frankly, it's turned into something that, it's just not that way. It's not for the average person anymore...

It's for the hot shop sales guy who can go out and really sell something and make a difference for his family and maybe help a couple of other people along the way, but for the most part they take advantage of people whether they want to admit it or not because most people aren't going to be able to go out and sell a thousand, 2000, 3000 or even $5,000 packages that I've seen.

Most people are going to be in a situation where they feel kind of jipped after a couple of months. Why are they doing these big packs will, yeah, to make bigger commissions upfront to keep that big sales guy. So they're really. The industry has been kind of going that direction, trying to help those guys see value in their programs and stuff like that. But in my opinion, the real.

The real reason that they do that is because they don't believe in their product...

They're afraid that if they don't charge somebody a thousand bucks and give them 10 months worth, they're only going to buy the product one time or two times or three times and after that happens, if that's the case, you're going to need a different product. You need a product that people would buy whether they were getting a commission or not, whether they were doing the business or not.

And so that's been, that's been kind of our beef, you know, as we've been looking around at the network marketing industry, couldn't find it. Stopped that a few companies thought we found a fit for our people and thought we found something that we can do and got a. within a few months we realized, "Whoa, these guys are as bad or worse than the last group."

And so here's where we are. What happened was I was looking at a company, we got Kinda disgusted with some things we learned and to turn to. A friend of mine said, why don't we just do it ourselves? And so now me and several partners, President Jim Deville and a couple of other partners are working to build a network marketing company.

And I got to tell you when, when we started putting this together, the minute that we kind of declared that we were going to do this and we started looking into vendors and different things that could help us get this thing built, it's like this product just fell from the sky.

It's been around for, for a long, long time. Nobody has ever focused on it or given it what I consider it's do this story needs to be told. And it's a story of, of Don Coplin and Don Copeland, however you say his name, I always butcher it.

And then he looks at me funny, but Don Copeland and serve Rockton and uh, a product that we call adapt. And so that product just fell into our laps, I believe, by Providence. I really believe that when people come together to try to do the right thing, providence moves and it comes to a point where it automatically kind of feeds into itself.

We've had so many amazing things happen with this, you know, just getting this started. So what is our goal and what is this ride that you're going to come on with us?

Well, we believe we can build a billion dollar brand and do it in a way that, that keeps integrity, that makes it so that you can, you know, look in the mirror every night or talk to your friends and not create enemies and, and you know, people try products all the time, but they don't try businesses all the time.

And so having a customer focus, having a product focus is a big thing. And the biggest thing is having a product that actually works. I mean there's a lot of products out there that are just kind of basically a recipe and usually that recipe is stolen from somebody else...

Something that they've tweaked or added a few things too. And so we were here really because we want to try to change an industry and we believe that if we do it right, it will be something where the masses of people, not just the hot shot sales guy, but the masses of people can come and make an extra 100, 200,000 really whatever they want to make.

But coupled with that, as we build out this compensation plan, you can make gigantic income. It can get very, very, very, very big and there is no cap and it can continue to go.

And it's it. It is an incredible opportunity. We believe it's the best compensation plan and in the industry it is never been done before. Everything that we've done is pretty much a. It had to be programmed except for one little piece. And so we're. We're really excited about what we have.

What we're here to do to with this podcast is take you on a journey.

We're going on a journey and you're coming with us and we're going to talk about everything from how we're creating a different culture, how we're really tapping into the tools and technology that are out there and trying to shift the industry and trying to make this industry, this generation tie into this generation.

I really believe the reason that network marketing has gotten such a bad rap, especially with my generation, with, with the, the, uh, the millennials, is because it's Hokey to, to have somebody by all of the inventory.

It's Hokey to have these gigantic packs and make people sign up and all those kinds of things. This should be about product consumption. We live in the age of Amazon and Amazon can get something to you tomorrow, the next day in most cases for free if you've paid for, you know, prime.

And so there's, there's, we're competing with Amazon and we're out there trying to tell people they have to buy these big packs and we just don't buy that.

We don't buy into that...

We really believe we can build a billion dollar brand selling products. And if you look at most of the billion dollar brands that are out there, the companies that are doing a billion dollars a year, they're selling products, they're selling products, and that's what's important is the products have to sell and they have to be effective or else nobody buys the next time. So, you know, thanks for coming on this journey with us.

First and foremost, you know, this is kind of an introduction to what we're doing. We want to take you guys with us as we go through this, that we were, uh, we're going to take the entire listening group through the entire process of building this business and we're going to start at the very beginning and we've kind of started there today and told you a little bit about how we ended up with the product.

But we'll tell that story in a coming episode in detail and kind of share how this all happened and why it's so incredible and why this product is so incredible. We'll share all that with a don Copeland and probably have him on the show one once or twice. Um, as we move forward.

And then we're also going to talk about, you know, everything from, uh, you know, building purpose in, in our business culture building, uh, the products, how we select products, how you can make sure your product is something that really is going to have a high impact.

We're going to talk about competition, relationships, uh, the importance of those relationships, talking to experts. We're going to talk to some branding.

We're going to talk about branding. We're going to talk about, uh, and, and, uh, work with influencers who see what's happening and see what we're doing as, as something very different. We got some really incredible technology that frankly, just like the product just fell into our lap.

So we're going to talk about building a business. We're going to talk about this thing going from zero to a billion and you're going to come along the whole entire way with us and hopefully you're rooting for us and you're not trying to, trying to put us down.

But we're, we're tough and we can handle it. And we're ready to roll. So thanks for being part of this and we look forward to talking to you on the next episode of next generation. Mlm. My name's Adam Baadsgaard. Thanks for joining us.
