Wendy Byford: Go Get A Jennie!

About Wendy Byford:

Wendy Byford is a corporate America escapee who went on to build a 7-figure business forming LLCs and corporations and teaching clients how to avoid common pitfalls that could jeopardize their entities. Recognizing her clients’ need for ongoing legal support after forming their businesses, she began offering LegalShield legal services and IDShield identity theft protection. Today, LegalShield is her primary business focus. A Canadian American, Wendy has lived in Las Vegas with her husband for the past 20 years. In her spare time, she fosters cats for the Animal Foundation.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Wendy Byford discuss:

  • Treat network marketing as a legitimate business
  • Align with company culture and products that fit your lifestyle
  • Build genuine relationships and be authentic
  • Seek coaching and support to overcome challenges
  • Learn from mistakes and adapt to new situations

Key Takeaways:

  • Successful network marketers treat their opportunity as a true business, not just a side hustle.
  • Choosing a network marketing company and products that align with your personal preferences and daily routine is crucial for long-term success, and Wendy’s experience highlights the importance of finding a natural fit, rather than forcing a mismatch.
  • Network marketing is a relationship-driven industry, and the most effective distributors focus on building authentic connections rather than aggressively pushing products or opportunities.
  • Seek out coaches and mentors to help you overcome challenges and achieve your goals.
  • By embracing a growth mindset and a willingness to adapt, network marketers can navigate the ups and downs of the business and find long-term success.

“Always make sure that it’s authentically you, it’s genuinely you, but take the lessons from the other people, watch and see what they do, figure out what the underlying lessons are, and then apply it.” — Wendy Byford

Key Takeaways:

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Michael Whitehouse discuss:

  • Knowing your networking goal and why you’re there
  • Focusing on providing value, not just selling
  • Differentiating yourself from the competition
  • Identifying upstream referral partners, not just customers
  • Building relationships before trying to make sales

Key Takeaways:

  • Networking is about building relationships, not just making sales. 
  • Differentiate yourself from the competition by focusing on the specific problems you solve, not just the products or services you offer, and this helps you stand out and connect with the right people.
  • It’s important to identify your upstream referral partners – the people and businesses that work with your potential customers before they reach you because building these relationships can lead to valuable introductions and collaborations.
  • Avoid the common mistake of just trying to “pitch” your business, and instead, ask questions to understand others’ needs and challenges, then demonstrate how you can help. 
  • Start small in networking by focusing on providing value in each conversation, and you’ll gradually build a powerful network that supports your business growth.

“Instead of saying, “How do I shove my information at you?”, what you should instead be saying is, “How can I provide value to the person I’m talking to?” — Michael Whitehouse
