The Dream Team is a training organization for people in network marketing and MLM businesses. They claim to be able to empower distributors to add 20-30 new people per week to their downlines.

I have personally interviewed several Dream Team students 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’ll be looking at the pros and cons of becoming a Dream Team student.

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 who are already looking for your product and service.

Can a distributor add 20-30 people a week to 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. Many students take 3, 4, some even 5 months to understand exactly how to apply the techniques to their business.

Unfortunately, many network marketers are sold on the fantasy of simply joining a business and having a couple of friends or family grow their downline for them. The Dream Team does not support this at all, focus on turning people into entrepreneurs who are willing to work for success. They stress that growing a hugely successful business isn’t easy, and for network marketers looking for a “silver bullet,” they won’t 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 problems were those who expected immediate results with little or no effort.

Furthermore, education and training are not cheap. Its low-end package is $699 and its top package is $1,999. For someone looking for a cheap solution, you won’t find it with the Dream Team program.

The best part of the Dream Team is that their education really works. That might seem expected, but in this age of hype, there’s a lot to be said for a show that can deliver on its promises.

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

Attending an actual class, we found it to be a surprisingly refreshing and honest look at what works in network marketing. The class was clear, to the point and full of real “meat”, good content that someone could use and apply. A lot of times, network marketing training is a bunch of hype and hype – all sizzle, no steak. They seem to pride themselves on giving “steak”: good information that can be used, applied and repeated.

One of the students I interviewed explained that he 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 several awards from his company. We also found some students who had signed up and although they enjoyed the training, they never really applied it and therefore never saw significant results.

In short, education and training are a good match for network marketers who are sick of chasing their hot markets, who are willing to put in the work, who have some money to invest in their business, and who are serious about success. For those with a lottery ticket mentality, this education would certainly be a complete waste of time and money.
