For those who don’t know, network marketing successes Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler have put together Renegade Professional, an online training series based on Ann’s book The Renegade Network Marketer. It is a subscription based service that opened April 2, 2009. Registrations closed at midnight that very same day.
According to their blog, they had to stop accepting registrations due to the sheer volume of people that were scrambling to get their hands on this valuable resource. "At one point today, we were getting an average of 40 of them per second," Ann writes.
I was one of the fortunate ones. I was eagerly sitting at my computer screen ten minutes prior to the doors opening. After reading The Renegade Network Marketer, I knew I was onto something. I had been involved in network marketing for a number of years, but I always struggled with the techniques that were being taught. I did do them, but I was not getting the results that I wanted. It was a lot of work for a little result. In her book, Ann was talking about reversing the whole process. It was talking about how to have prospects coming to me. How to position myself as an expert who had knowledge and value to offer others. Man, did that sound better that chasing down everyone I met and subtly feeling them out to see if I should even bring up my business opportunity. Needless to say, I was not going to let this opportunity to get more in-depth training slip past.
And this is some cutting-edge training. With tons of instruction covering things like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and email-campaigns, "the world is your oyster" as they say.
While the doors might be closed right now, be sure to keep your eyes open. It just might open up again. In the meantime, The Renegade University is still open for new members. And, it’s free.
Until next time.

This book is a definite must read for anyone struggling with their network marketing business, or for those that are looking into network marketing for the first time.
For those already involved and having difficulty obtaining any success, it will help to expose what you are doing wrong, often because that is what your taught by your sponsors.
For those who are just starting to explore the world of network marketing, this ebook can save you from wasting efforts on techniques that just do not work.
This book has seven chapters:
- Everyone is your prospect!
- This really isn’t sales. We just share products with people!
- Anyone can do this!
- We’ll build your business for you.
- We have the best product ever!
- You just don’t have enough belief.
- The proven system.
Each chapter goes in depth on it’s particular “lie”. It covers the kinds of activities business builders engage in based on the particular statement. For example, in the first chapter, author Ann Sieg talks about how many network marketers push their opportunity on everyone they meet: their friends and family, doctor, lawyer, dentist, electrician, and the list goes on. She then discusses how this kind of activity has given network marketing such a negative reputation. She closes each chapter with a glimpse into the way network marketing could be done. In the first chapter, she mentions new ways to get prospects. She focuses on the concept of getting prospects to come to you.
Each subsequent chapter is more of the same, applying the same formula to that particular chapter’s “lie”.
What I like most about this ebook is that is does not feel like a marketing guide or a sales pitch. Her writing is extremely conversational, and that makes this ebook such an easy read. She uses many anecdotes from her own experiences to which all network marketers will be able to relate.
And did I mention it is free?
