The Biggest Reasons Why Most Folks Fail In Network Marketing and How To Fix Them! Copyright © 2005 Scott Bradley Mentoring for Free http://itsgr8.mentoringforfree.com/
Usually when someone decides to join a network marketing company
selling soap, healthcare items, personal development, telephones,
or any other plethora of items they have been told they can get
rich beyond their wildest dreams.
Say it isn't so! Oh, come on, you know it's true. I think
99.999% have told a prospect at one time or another they can get
wealthy beyond their wildest dreams if they set themselves up on
auto-ship and buy the latest greatest book and tape on the market
today. Oh and don't forget you have to make a list of your 500
friends, relatives and schoolmates you haven't seen since the
first grade!
OK OK... I might be exaggerating a bit, however the upline has
given specific instructions on how to become successful in any
venture that you start.
So why is it that no-one except the elite few in most
organizations make pennies instead of dollars?
There are two schools of thought. One is, sell the opportunity.
Never let the prospect think of anything else but quitting the
J.O.B. and staying at home to collect the big residual checks.
Next thought is, Sell the Product! Sell, Sell, Sell. If you sell
3,000 folks this $99 bottle of the latest potion or gadgetry you
too can be out in the Caribbean on your yacht --- month after
month.
So, what is the problem? This is only my opinion, but I think it
boils down to one thing. Most new recruits lose interest after
their phone calls and cries for help go unanswered by their up- line.
Ok Scott, what do you mean, I talked to Fred and Jane the other
day and asked them why they hadn't shown the opportunity to 17
families in the past 5 days! I showed them how to draw circles
and bring others into the business. I showed them the benefits
of our Nifty Swifty Toilet Bowl Cleaner and that it uses 1/4
ounce less than the famous store brand. What do you mean I let
them lose interest?
Sure we show our new recruits the benefits of using our products,
show them the comp plan and set them on their merry way. But, do
we show them how to recruit others so they are not burning their
bridges with their friends and relatives? Do we spend an hour or
two with them making phone calls to interested individuals?
So if you haven't figured out already, this is a people business
and folks are dying on the vine because we as a whole are too
busy moving on to the next new recruit, instead of nurturing our
own crop of excited folks.
Success is not based on the newest and greatest comp plan in the
industry. It is not based upon selling (which by the way no-one
likes to do) the greatest supplement or cleaner or telephone or
personal development plan in the market today.
Success is based by our up-line taking full responsibility and
leadership by spending time and educating instead of trying to
sell us. There are organizations on the net that conduct generic
no company specific teaching and mentoring. There are pay for
learning organizations, and there are free ones with no agenda
but helping others develop their potential.
Personally, I recommend the free ones, everyone has already paid
the entrance fee and want some help now! That makes sense to me.
I think the following is so important, I am going to step outside
of my norm and highly recommend you download the following free
e-book:

In my research, I found a simple way of categorizing those that
we talk with. I have found a totally free, generic, no company
mentioned, not gonna sell you anything, free e-book that can be
downloaded that will explain in detail how to immediately be in- sync with your prospects. Again, here is the link:
http://itsgr8.successin10steps.com
This e-book called "Success In 10 Steps" was written by Michael
DLouhy who has over 26 years experience in the networking
business. This is a gem of a book. I highly recommend reading
it if you are a "newbie" or even a "seasoned salt" in the
business for quite a while.
Here's to your success.
