I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Jim Tanner, a distinguished network marketer who has been with the same company for the past 20 years. Jim is a 7-figure income earner and the author of the book “On Purpose,” which you can find here on Amazon. In this interview, Jim shares his journey from primarily retailing products to building a massive, successful team.
Jim's story is a testament to the power of dedication and the right training. He began his network marketing career by calling leads, using the techniques he learned from my Cold Market Lead Mastery Course and Championship Prospecting Series. However, it was the discovery of my “Insider Secrets to Recruiting Professionals” course that truly transformed his business. Today, over 80% of Jim's business is built using the methods taught in this course.
The Power of Consistent Training
