Your Virtual Upline Podcast

Feeling stuck or frustrated in your network marketing business? Watching your team struggle and wondering if you’re doing something wrong? You’re not alone. I recently had a conversation with a past client, friend, and fellow leader who’s been feeling the exact same way. In this episode, I’m diving into a problem that’s plaguing in our industry: mismanaged expectations. We have a lot of unrealistic expectations, which are often fueled by hype marketing like I talked about in the last episode. When we measure our success by the wrong metrics or fail to celebrate the progress we have made, we risk burning out or even walking away from the dreams God placed on our hearts. But here’s the truth: the fact that you’re still here—listening, showing up, and leading—means you’re already successful. It’s time to have some tough but necessary conversations about what needs to change in our industry and within ourselves. I truly believe the best days for network marketing—and for you—are ahead. Let’s face these challenges together and build something extraordinary. Listen to Learn 3:29 - Why mismanaged expectations is so dangerous and the group of people in our industry that it impacts the most  4:16 - The role that social media and the pandemic have played in these issues becoming more prevalent  8:29 - A simple reframe you can make in the areas of your business and metrics that you are paying attention to   10:21 - A special ask for you regarding how you can support this podcast and its message 11:04 - What we’re doing as a company to change the conversation being had around success  12:49 - Specific actions you can take right now with your team and why doing this is your responsibility as a leader  14:18 - What setting expectations looks like in practice and the advice my mentor told me starting out that still resonates with me today  16:54 - Why I feel that these conversations aren’t happening and what we can do to change this  451: Are You Marketing Your Business With Heart or Hype?

Let’s be real: social media is packed right now with what I like to call “hype marketing.” You know the posts—“biggest launch in the history of network marketing,” “a compensation plan like nothing you’ve ever seen.” It’s constant. But here’s the truth: these tactics aren’t just overused; they’re actually driving people away and undermining your business’s credibility. If you’ve been caught up in this approach—maybe because it’s what’s being taught or you’re following what everyone else is doing—I want you to know that it’s ok and you can start doing things differently. In this episode, I share the four reasons why hype marketing is hurting your business and I reveal what you can do to start building a lasting business with heart over hype! Listen to Learn 5:00 - How hype marketing sets bad expectations and has you marketing from a place of fear  8:10 - A real life example of what I’m seeing in the marketplace at this time 10:27 - A special ask for you regarding how you can support this podcast and its message 12:26 - What I would be doing differently to market with integrity  15:21 - The ways in which hype marketing attracts the wrong people to you and what you really need to build a solid foundation for your business  18:24 - Why you always need to be thinking long-term while keeping your brand and reputation in mind  19:56 - Something you’ll notice about the true effectiveness of hype marketing  21:36 - A final reminder about where credibility is born from and why hype is never going to get you there     Follow me on Threads & Instagram at @bob_heilig Join our free Network Marketing Community Subscribe to our YouTube Channel  

As you may have heard, recently Beachbody was the latest company to announce that they are moving away from their current business model to affiliate only, and essentially eliminating the incomes of all of the leaders and coaches that have built businesses with them over the years.

In this episode, you’ll hear what this situation means for our profession, and I share the key lessons that we can pull from it that demonstrates what we need to do better. This is an important conversation to be having, because if we don’t learn from this, I guarantee you that unfortunately we will continue to see more of this type of thing happen. While challenges lie ahead, I firmly believe our brightest days as an industry are still to come. We may face rough seas, but rest assured, we’ll be here to help you navigate through them.

Today I’m sharing another episode of our “My First $1k” interview series, where I’m interviewing students of our Love Serve Grow™ program that not only have hit their first $1,000 commission month using what we teach them, but they have since been able to create consistent $1,000 months. Like in our last interview, today’s guest Patty shares her story of being stuck before joining Love Serve Grow™, making $400 to $500 in commissions each month. She talks about the struggle she faced by not knowing what to do to reach consistent $1,000 months, but how everything changed once she became a part of Love Serve Grow™ (spoiler alert: Patty also maintained $1,000 months for 5 months straight after first reaching that level)! As you’ll hear, Patty’s story demonstrates the importance of not just having the right plan, but having the coaching, community and support of the people around you to succeed. Making one or two little shifts in your business and doing things a little differently is what is going to unlock results for you too, so if you’re feeling a little alone, lost and confused right now, then this conversation is for you!   Sign Up Now for the FREE 30 Days to $1K Workshop at www.yourvirtualupline.com/1k  446: My First $1k: Renee Sutton from Lemongrass Spa  Follow me on Threads & Instagram at @bob_heilig Join our free Network Marketing Community Subscribe to our YouTube Channel

I’m excited to introduce Renee, a dedicated Love Serve Grow™ student. Renee shares her transformative journey, detailing how, after 12 years in her profession—mostly with one company—she had only managed to achieve a $1,000 commission month only a few times, primarily during Black Friday sales. Before discovering Love Serve Grow™, Renee's average commission ranged from $500 to $700. Quite frankly, she felt stuck with the strategies taught by other training programs… In this episode, Renee discusses how Love Serve Grow™ gave her an authentic approach and helped her break through her previous income barriers. Not only did she achieve her first $1,000 month organically, but she also sustained this success for several months following our program. Stay tuned for the next episode, where another Love Serve Grow™ student shares her journey to hitting her first $1,000 month, and you won’t want to miss the valuable insights and lessons she brings with her story!

Last week I talked about how you can achieve your first $1,000 commission month, and this week I want to address the biggest mistake that is holding people back from earning $1,000 each month. And that’s trying to grow a team. Now I’m not telling you not to build a team. But if you’ve been in your business for a while, if you’re doing all the things that you’re supposed to be doing, and you’re still NOT earning $1k every month, then you need to acknowledge that you’re doing something wrong.  To help you with this, I’m going to present a very different way of thinking that may sound counterintuitive, but if you shift your mindset and practices based on what I share in this episode, you’ll soon be selling and serving your way to $1,000 months. In the next episode, you’ll get a chance to hear from one of our students that hit their first $1,000 month working with us, and they’ll share how they did it, so make sure you tune into that one!

Kristen and I specifically talk about the power of faith as it relates to leadership, and we look at the role of bravery and why this is so important to have when you’re starting out in business or navigating challenging times as an entrepreneur. Kristen is somebody that I respect and admire, because she is someone that truly embodies being a LOVE-LED™ leader. Like what we teach our students to be inside Love Serve Grow™.

Let’s be love-led in the way that we lead our teams and the way we show up in the world and let’s build a love-led business, because that is what this profession needs more of.

Today I want to talk about what I consider to be the single, worst piece of advice that’s being given to network marketers today.

Today I want to talk about a common mistake that is made with good intentions, and one that I see people doing so often when they’re recruiting someone to their team.

In this episode, I explain this analogy and share the lesson that I learned early on in network marketing. I have been teaching this analogy to others from the very beginning of my career. I break down the different categories of “apples” (aka prospects) and I reveal how to sell to them, and when not to. Your ideal prospects are in your audience and on your contact list right now, but you just haven’t found them because you’re not proactively reaching out and starting conversations with them each day. That’s what I want this episode to help you with!

Rodan + Fields recently announced that they will be changing their compensation model, which is unfortunately the second company in our industry to do this over the last few months. In this episode, I share the 3 important lessons that can be taken from this situation, because I want to shed light on these really important conversations that we need to be having.  If we want to grow and become better as a profession, while changing the way people look at us, we need more transparency around the business practices. Not just for the consultants, but the companies too. I hope you find this episode not only educational, but inspiring as well.

Today I want to talk about what is happening right now with SEINT, a popular company in our space and one that I’ve worked extensively with. If you haven’t heard already, SEINT just announced that they are changing their compensation model to a pure affiliate model, which means that SEINT will be getting rid of the team building side and focus solely on product sales. This is a big deal and sad news for our profession, and I want to share my thoughts on it because as a company, it’s our mission to elevate the standards in this space. Not only by the way that all of us practice business, but also to hold the companies accountable by having some of the difficult conversions that need to be had, so we can educate you in what to look for in the companies that you align with. Although people are seeing this as a sign that our industry is falling apart, you’ll see why I think this could not be further from the truth. With the fear and uncertainty out there, I’ve spent the last few days gathering my thoughts so that I can speak to you about what is happening, and I went live to do that.
