Network Marketing Success Stories – Amway Legend – Bill Britt

For Bill Britt, a competent City Manager in Raleigh, North Carolina, life was missing something, and it wasn’t long before he was drawn into forging out on his own.

His first attempt was a reported $10,000 failure, but the second… well that is the stuff of Network Marketing Legend.

Bill Britt is quoted as saying:

“I got into this business for five reasons. Good reasons. The first one was money. The second reason I got in was for money. In fact, that’s what all five reasons were.”

By all accounts, he made plenty of that; over 2 million distributors have joined Amway as a result of Bill Britt, with countless millions more influenced by his training materials and training systems.

Network Marketing Success?

Most of his fortune is attributed to his mentoring company Britt WorldWide which sells CDs and training materials related to achieving success in Amway, and in any other MLM opportunity. His audio’s come as a recommended resource for Amway distributors who pay on autoship to receive the training.

Scandal!

Bill Britt has, like most long-time success stories, been mixed up in his fair share of alleged troubles, endured rumors of an affair, rumors of divorce and marital problems, rumors of business problems and even being a part of several scams. I’m not going to dive any deeper into any of these, because quite simply they aren’t relevant to this article.

How Did Bill Britt Achieve Such Huge Success in Amway?

Bill Britt can be considered a pioneer of Network Marketing Systems and Training Techniques, which he pioneered back in the 60s and 70s, but back in the late 60s and 70s, there wasn’t the abundance of information and training that we have today, thanks largely to a lack of the Internet.

30 and 40 Years ago Network Marketing prospecting consisted of:

* Home meetings
* Hotel meetings
* Weekend training

At the time, this was probably considered cutting edge, after all, these techniques used to work, but as time goes by, things change. People don’t read the ‘paper’ anywhere near as often, they go online for news. People don’t send as many letters, or postcards; they send email and instant messages.

We don’t buy and sell locally, or in the paper, we post on Craigslist and eBay.

The Age of The Internet

The old approach that Bill Britt build a gigantic Network Marketing Organization with don’t work with the same effect they did 30 years ago.

Today’s leading prospectors and team builders make use of information and technology, they leverage the Power Of The Internet to communicate with thousands of qualified prospects; people already out looking for what they have to offer.

Network Marketing Online

Like the Amway Legend, however, today’s best Network Marketing success stories still rely on systems, only now they leverage technology and the Internet to communicate their message, to build relationships with their prospects, and even to sign those prospects into their primary opportunity.

These same systems can be taught to your team, allowing them to do exactly what you are doing, and attract leads and prospects of their own, to build their own business.
