Team Training

Dream Team Training -
Opportunity Or Scam?
The Dream Team is a training organization for people in
network marketing and MLM businesses. They claim to be
able to train distributors to add 20 - 30 new people per
week into their downlines.

I have personally interviewed a number of students in the
Dream Team, as well as Terry Duff and Gino Niccoli, the
founders. There are some very real concerns about being
a Dream Team student, and in this article, we will go
through and look at the pros and cons of becoming a
Dream Team student.

• Dream Team - The Bad

The Dream Team provides marketing education and training
to network marketers. They teach how to use the phone,
the internet, and the written word to attract people that
are already looking for your product and service.

Can a distributor add 20 - 30 people per week into a
business? Absolutely. I found that some students were
adding more than that, but the most important thing to
understand is that it is not a walk in the park. It takes
many students 3, 4, some even 5 months to understand
exactly how to apply the techniques to their businesses.

Unfortunately, many network marketers are sold on the
fantasy of just joining a business, and having a couple of
friends or family members grow their downline for them.
The Dream Team does not support this at all, focus on
developing people into entrepreneurs who are willing to
work to get success. They stress that growing a hugely
successful business is not easy, and for network marketers
looking for a "silver bullet", they will not find it with the
Dream Team. It is not a get rich quick type of program,
and it seemed that the students who had the most trouble
were those that expected immediate results with minimal
or no effort.

Also, the education and training is not cheap. Their low-end
package is $699, and their top package rings in at $1,999.
For someone looking for an el-cheapo fix, they will not
find it with the Dream Team program.

• Dream Team - The Good

The best part about the Dream Team is that their education
actually works. That might seem to be expected, but in
this day and age of hype, there is much to be said for
a program that can deliver on its promises.

Their training is based on effective marketing techniques
and methods used by professional marketers, but
customized for network marketing. They pedigree is
impressive, as they appear have learned from very
experienced marketers such as Yanik Silver, Joe Sugarman,
Dan Kennedy, the late Gary Halbert, etc. These
professional marketers routinely charge upwards of $3,000
just for a 4 day seminar, making the Dream Team
education look like a bargain.

In attending an actual class, we found it was a surprisingly
refreshing and honest look at what works in network
marketing. The class was clear, to the point, and full of
actual "meat", good content that someone could use
and apply. So many times, network marketing training
is a bunch of fluff and hype - All sizzle, no steak. They
seem to pride themselves on giving out "steak" - good
information that can used, applied, and repeated.

One of the students I interviewed explained that they
had applied the techniques he had learned to his MLM,
and over the course of 10 months, had grown his
downline to over 23,000 customers and reps, and had
won a number of awards from his company. We also
found some students that had signed up, and though
they enjoyed the training, never really applied it, and
thus, never really got any significant results.

To sum up, the education and training is a good match
for networkers that are sick of chasing their warm
markets, that are willing to work, that have some money
to invest into their business, and that are serious
about becoming successful. For those with the lottery
ticket mentality, this education would undoubtedly be
a complete waste of time and money.
