The THREE Biggest Mistakes Most MLM Distributors Make.
By: joe cotroneo
Network Marketing can be very profitable. Imagine all the free time you can have by building a successful MLM business.
A lot has changed in the MLM Industry in the last 20 years. But there are still a lot of things that stayed the same. That is the type of mistakes most MLM distributors seem to make. Most Mlmers are very intelligent. They are so smart that they know how to follow directions. This is where the the problem is. They are listening to their upline and theit MLM company about some things they should disregard.
The biggest mistake any MLM upline or Company can do is take the new distributor out of their comfort zone. Let me ask you......How many of you want to contact your friends or relatives about your new MLM business? If the statistics are correct, over 95% of you would prefer to NOT contact your friends or relatives about any business. Most of you know from experience, that not many of them are not interested or have the slightest inclination to build an MLM Business. Yet even to this day, many sponsors and companies still tell people to do this one thing. This is the easiest way to lose any downline you might have built. What most distributors should be doing is promoting their business to their own leads generated from advertising. A new distributor should only be contacting those people who expressed a desire to start their own business.
Another mistake most new MLM distributors make is to fall for the concept of Quick Riches.They generally believe it when a person tells them how they are making $10,000 a month after only a week in the business. What they fail to see is that this person has probably moved a downline from one opportunity to another one. Or maybe they spent years developing a large list and now they can mail almost anything to it and make money.Patience is the key to success in this business. If you understand the principles of MLM and stick to your plan and don't quit......eventualy you will make money. You must always build a firm foundation of distributors and train them to do the same things you do. Staywith the same company and teach others to "duplicate" what you are doing.
A lot has changed since Amway, Shaklee, and Herbalife dominated the MLM Landscape. Once, when there were a few companies, now there are thousands of MLM Companies and even more starting up everyday. The available pool of MLM Distributors has basically stayed the same or increased little. There are 15-20 million MLM distributors today, yet there are thousands of companies competing for these people vs maybe only 50 companies 15 years ago. Because of this, most people make the mistake of choosing the wrong product to promote.
What does this mean? Everybody is competing for a smaller and smaller share of the available distributor base. So, if your MLM company is marketing the latest "Juice Secret Product from deep in the Chinese Mountains", be certain that 100's of others will at least offer the same product, and for some of them it will be their flagship product too.
When you operate this way you have a huge market to sell to. My preference is to promote generic lead generation systems or in some cases the lead companies themselves have attractive MLM Compensation plans.
You can Make Money in MLM. All you need to do is make the right choices.
