Let me help you clear away some fog by clarifying the differences.  I also share how each person and piece to the “Renegade” puzzle fits.

Once upon a time Mike Dillard put out  a fantastic course called Magnetic Sponsoring.  He revealed insights to attraction marketing and how to have leads chasing you instead of you having to buy leads and call.  His course of a measley little amount created more millionaires in network marketing than anything else in network marketing history.   It still does to this day…. and it’s still a measly little amount.   Check out his 7 Day FREE Attraction Marketing Bootcamp.

Then came along Ann Sieg and wrote the book The Renegade Network Marketer which caused a lot of controversy because it was putting old school network marketing trainers and their training materials out on the street. Ann’s  EBOOK  teaches the philosophy of attraction marketing and earning multiple streams of income and quite honestly, dumping the old network marketing ways.  It’s 144 pages that can change your life (that is, IF you read through to the last chapter… see below!)

• The Renegade System – A FREE MEMBERSHIP WEBSITE included with your purchase of The Renegade Network Marketer ebook. Get this… 80% of the people who buy Ann’s ebook never even log into the free Renegade System that is included with her ebook!  That’s because it is explained in the last chapter and it’s only for people who are ready, willing, and able to take the necessary steps to succeed on the Internet.  The Renegade System is a very special website that has training and marketing tools, but it is also shows you how to sign up with approximately 40 other affiliate companies, embed them in your own version of the ebook and start making multiple streams of income and generating your own qualified leads.  It’s brilliant!  Too bad so few network marketers know about it.  Or maybe it’s a good thing!

Then came Mike Klingler on the scene.  His story is quite something.  He worked like there was no tomorrow for 14 years in the network marketing industry and could not seem to get his team to duplicate.  Then something magical happened.  Read a little bit of his story here.  Mike was using the strategies that Mike Dillard and Ann Sieg were teaching about attraction marketing as his list went from zero to 1,127 in 3 days.  His downline read Magnetic Sponsoring and The Renegade Network Marketer books and understood what they were suppose to do, however, they could not figure out the mechanics – the How To.  In other words, how to create a blog, how to write an article, how to create a squidoo lens.

So, Mike Klingler began teaching and and doing video tutorials on the How To and Renegade University was born.

Renegade University – FREE ONLINE TRAINING founded by Mike Klingler.  Ren U (as we affectionately refer to our alma mater) is a place to receive free online training that teaches network marketers (in particular us baby boomers!) how to become visible on the Internet and attract prospects.  All of the tutorials are in written, video, or live webinar format and are designed for the Internet beginner.  More advanced training is available when you are ready to graduate from Ren U and enter Renegade Professional.

Renegade Professional – PAID MEMBERSHIP ONLINE TRAINING also offered by Mike Klingler and Ann Sieg.  It is a website that offers a huge array of video tutorials teaching everything from adwords, blogging, ad copy, Facebook, Twitter, social bookmarking, article writing, video marketing, creating lead capture pages, website development, the consultative approach to sales, and lots more.  I can’t begin to list it all here.  Last count was over 300 videos and growing.

Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program (RBMP) – the OFFICIAL MENTORING PROGRAM OFFERED BY ANN SIEG.  This progam is for those individuals who really want professional marketing instruction and guidance.  Ann offers a series of twelve live 90-minute webinars in addition to other training.  There is a 30-Day money back guarantee, so be sure to check it out if you want personal instruction from Ann Sieg!  Click on the link to read all the details and to see the course curriculum.

Whew!  That’s a lot of Renegades.  But I tell you what.  It’s the best place to be if you’re a network marketer.  Renegade Professional and Breakthrough students have a lot to look forward to each week.  I’m both.  With the launch of Renegade Professional came the launch of the Professional Newsletter.  Check out the training for members the first week of launch.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.  I’m here to help you.  You may want to print this page out for your reference.

Becoming a Renegade Professional has been life changing for me.  I feel it will for you too if you embrace all that it has.  And, you’re going to meet the greatest people on earth being associated with the Renegade family.  Nobody left behind . . .  there’s a place for everyone.

Influence, not systems,
will generate business growth

Mike Klinger of
Renegade Breakthrough
Mentoring Program

If you’re wondering why some are successful in their network marketing careers and others are not, it comes down to how influential you are.  Many network marketers are out there using third party replicated systems, they are putting up content marketing their products and how great their juices, legal services, travel club membership, personal development, etc., are, and as a result, they have no influence.

Prospects see their content and are quickly repelled off the page because there is nothing to captivate their attention, to teach them something they need to know about being successful, or anything unique about what’s being said.

Yes, its vitally important to learn to market, but it’s more than that.  It’s just part of the equation.  One must also have influence which Mike defines as  a person’s confidence, concepts, mindset, language, attitude and leadership.  Some would call this posturing.  But to understand where true success, long term success as a business owner comes in, is understanding and learning how to be influential.

Increasing your Influence Factor is what creates the BIG duplication and multiplied business growth (in any business model)

If you’re not getting the results you want it’s because you haven’t developed your “Influence Factor” enough (yet).  This article can shave years off your learning curve because it focuses you on the things that REALLY count.  These things are all related to your ability to Influence others by having a stronger business mindset and knowledge base.

The question was asked of Mike Klingler, who partners with Ann Sieg in the Renegade Breakthrough program, “Doesn’t ‘marketing’ help me improve my business?”

Mike wrote this article in response:

Of course it does… developing your basic marketing skills will increase your influence factor, and that’s why the Renegade Professional training program is putting so many people on the right track.  Because when you begin learning basic skills that generate your own leads, and attract prospects of ANY caliber, you automatically become more influential (and attractive as a marketer) than you were before you knew how.

But there are other magnetizing elements that will increase your Influence Factor to a whole new level that focus you on learning the less obvious but far more powerful skills and insights.  Knowing how to apply certain principles will have a significant impact on you.  It can mean the difference between making a few hundred dollars a month, or making tens of thousands.  Or between attracting 30 leads a month or 3000.  It can mean the difference between being a super star that seems to be able to make all their ideas happen, vs. someone who has trouble even coming up with ideas they can believe in.  These ‘less obvious’ skill sets are really the magical ingredients that make the bigger money come with less work, while helping more people and getting more gratification all at the same time!

Here are just some of these “influence Factoring” skills and principles (some overlap because they focus on either more general or very specific aspects of a similar topic–we dig deep):

- Collaborating, Partnering, JVs (Joint Ventures)

- Understanding the Business Process Intimately

- You and Your Business Model: Viability & Long-Term Growth

- Outsourcing & Building an All-Star Marketing Team

- Market Research: Finding and Creating a Hungry Mob

- Creating Content: Building Your Own Fort Knox

- Copy writing: Words That Sell

- First Phase of Your Marketing System: Leading With Value

- Second Phase of Your Marketing System: Closing The Sale

- The Backend: Upsell Profits = Long Term Profits

- Marketing To Your Lists: Getting Multiple Product Lines

- Traffic Generation: Stuffing Your Marketing Funnel

- Monetization: Turning Losses Into Sources of Profits

(These are just a sampling of what we cover in Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring).

You’ll notice that many of the subjects listed above ARE related to marketing–but they are addressing the topic through a very different context than the basic mechanics of ‘lead generation’ or ‘getting started’ marketing at Renegade Professional–

Renegade Breakthrough gets into the deeper concepts of marketing, and relates it to partnerships, JVs, and collaborations.  Any mechanics it covers are shared through the lens of a leader.  You literally learn a new language and way of seeing the business world as well as your place in it.  You become different–the same YOU but more confident, competent and mindful of the things that will make much BIGGER money and attract business at a level you may not presently be confident enough to expore.

In Renegade Breakthrough, we coach you with the assumption that you have the mindset of a business leader, so that over a 6 month period you actually develop into one.

It’s like taking a foreign language class where you’re forced to speak the ‘foreign language’ when you’re in the classroom.  By covering the basic foundational principles and strategies, but with language conceptualized through a leaders’ mindset, you become the business leader naturally yourself and your Influence Factor skyrockets. You speak the language and you ‘think’ the language.

The bigger point–this will be felt by all you relate to and communicate with–in your content, emails, and more importantly, the decisions you end up making with your time, target audience choice, and ability to recognize the hundreds of opportunities lined up along the way that make your business easier to build bigger…

The results are mind boggling and that’s why I’m working so hard to open you up to moving forward with all of this in mind.

Because this also ends up attracting higher caliber people who are also influential like you (or even more influential)–and that is what leads to duplication and exponential growth in whatever business model you’re building through.

By learning the higher level skill sets (mindset and language of a business leader), you are developing your confidence and ’star qualities’ that translate directly into INFLUENCE.

The Most Extraordinary Part…

What is perhaps the most incredible thing I’ve noticed that happens when you develop an awareness of these and other principles, is the automatic confidence and obvious general business competence increase that people ’sense’ with you.  That’s the magical part that attracts in the super star people who can build your business at a pace you could never dream to do with a less developed group (who are less influential).

What’s interesting is every ’super’ successful person in business I meet knows (from experience and training) each of the fundamental mindset principles we teach in Renegade Breakthrough and EVERY unsuccessful or struggling person doesn’t (and often resists learning them, which is REALLY interesting).

Renegade Breakthrough is teaching the most current business development concepts of our day–from the leadership model style onto the marketing strategies, but with real life experience from people who have done it.  This is something that most college professors at a University can rarely offer (if they could they wouldn’t be teaching at the University!)

Something to consider regarding the value of what is taught in Renegade Breakthrough compared to other paths people take to learn business…  In Renegade Breakthrough, you are learning business and marketing skills that are arguably far more valuable than what most MBA graduate students are taught at the most expensive Universities in the world! It’s amazing when you put it into context like this and consider what’s happening here for people at such a low investment (I’m referring to both the Renegade Professional click by click training as well as the higher end training at Renegade Breakthrough).
