How To Hook MLM Leads Like A Smallmouth Bass

Today, I’m going to ask you to get cozy with a cup of your favorite warm beverage, whether that’s coffee, tea, or anything else.

And, I’m going to tell you a story about how I learned to hook MLM leads like a fisherman hooks Smallmouth Bass.

I want you to imagine a sizzling summer many years ago when I was just a “pup” of a fourteen year old. Here I sit in the blazing sun under an abandoned concrete power dam with a stick, a string, and a hook. I desperately want to fish but there’s a flaw in my plan: I don’t have any bait!

Baitless, I wander around, I look under logs for bugs and I dig through chilled earth for worms. I find nothing…

But you know how I never give up? Well, I never give up. So, in the shadow of an ancient cedar tree I eventually “luck” out. Under that cedar tree there’s a few puddles left from when the water was higher… earlier in the year… I guess? And, in those puddles are a buncha crawdads.

You might be wondering, “Jason, what the hay is a crawdad?”

In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, they look like little lobsters. And, when you try to catch them, they skittle backwards and raise their little lobster claws. But, I know they can’t hurt nobody, so I pick three up and put them in my shorts (in the pocket of course) and head over to the end of the dam where the fish are.

I put one poor little crawdad on the hook and toss him in. If there’s a hell, then this is what it would be like, being a crawdad. But, at least it’s a quick hell.

I swear, by everything that’s true, the crawdad doesn’t even hit the water before a bass bites the hook and I swing him on shore. Then I toss another crawdad into the black water and swing another bass on shore. Then the last one and I swing yet another bass on shore. Hard to believe, I know…

I wouldn’t believe it myself if I wasn’t there! Because honestly, I’ve never in all my years had an easier time fishing – never.

But, what made it all work so well wasn’t my stick, my string, or my hook.

It was that silly little lobster on the end of my line.

You see, I didn’t know it at the time, but those mini-lobsters are the favorite food of the Smallmouth Bass. And, the power dam is the favorite place for Smallmouth Bass to chill.

In the past, I’ve fished for days without a bite. I’ve tried shiny little lures, smelly plastic worms, even slimy little frogs – and caught nothing.

The crawdad was the magical little lobster that made it all work

The right bait for the job.

And I hope you understand…

If you want to hook more MLM leads this is soooo much more than a fish story.

It’s a story with a powerful lesson that not one in a thousand Multi-Level Marketers will ever fully understand. Because it’s the real secret of marketing success…

It’s why we’re all really fishermen (and fisherwomen) in this magical world.

Now, I don’t know if this makes sense to you.

But, if you’re that one person that really and truly gets the truth behind this fishing story… If you feel that there’s some truth to this story, any at all, then please share it with your friends today. Twitter, Facebook, BetterNetworker or all three – thank you.

Oh! And don’t be shy to leave a comment today…

Maybe, you’re a fellow fisherman at heart?

To your success,

Its all about the offer right?

I’d rather a nice steak than a crawdad any day but it’s not about me… it all about what I’m fishing for.

Kinda feel like going fishing now…

Thanks J,
