Network Marketing Is A Pay To Play Business





Suppose you decide to open a dairy store. You find a location, sign a lease and usually pay the first and last month's rent plus a damage deposit upfront. Then you make the necessary alterations on the building's interior and exterior. The racks and furnishings must be purchased along with the latest model point-of-sale cash register. Inventory to stock your shelves must be purchased. Help wanted ads have to be placed in order to hire employees. Well, you get the picture. You've spent a ton of money without seeing your first sale. At this stage of the game, your business is a potential, far from a thriving enterprise.

Why is it, when we talk to new prospects and they question us about the costs involved with our network marketing business are we like shrinking violets?

Better you inform your prospect of all costs upfront rather than trying to skirt or tip toe around the issue. If anything, I usually approximate a slightly higher cost and if there is an auto-ship plan built into my network marketing company, I state that upfront. Prospects that are unwilling to participate in auto-ship will usually be the first to drop out of your business (meaning you have spent a great deal of your time and energy on him/her when you could have spent it on finding better qualified recruits).

Let's face it: why is our network marketing business any less a business than one he or she would set-up themselves? How could they possibly expect to start and run our (or any) business without there being certain ongoing expenses?

Most network marketing businesses have extremely low costs. Perhaps this is why we attract so many people who are willing to call it quits at the slightest "bump in the road". Maybe if our initial costs were high - as is a traditional business - we would attract fewer people into our businesses BUT the ones who did join us would stick with their business as they have more to lose should they decide to quit.

The business that we offer prospects is a system. A system with potential. In order to play, they have to pay.

•Network Marketers When Do You Throw In The Towel
Did he just say what I think he said? Me, quit? Never. That's not an option. Fact is, if you have been working at your network marketing business for a while giving it your all and it is not producing results, maybe you should start thinking of other options. The key words are: giving it your all. Let me give you an example from my personal experience. My wife and I were part of a product based network marketing company. I can honestly say that we gave it 110% of our attention...

•Step Aside Internet Network Marketing Expert Coming Through
I have to plead ignorance.

•A Network Marketing Recruiting System So Simple That Even A Caveman Can Do it
If I were to ask you to identify one area of network marketing that you disliked doing, you would probably identify recruiting new prospects to join your business. And if I were to press the issue even further and ask people who left your business why they left, I would bet the vast majority of them would blame the recruiting function. Most of us hate trying to get others to join our business. We are not alone as a matter of fact 85% of all network marketers hate the recruiting process....

•3 Devious MLM Network Marketing Approaches
I fell for it again. Me…over 15 years in the network marketing business…duped by another network marketer. No wonder why our industry has such a reputation if one has to stoop to such levels.

I am sure we all have our own variations on this theme. The first trick is called the SNEAKER. Here is where you use any means available to you...

•Is Your Me Too Network Marketing MLM Website Relevant
Yesterday I received an email from a former colleague in my business-to-business marketing communications company. He just signed up for a network marketing company and wanted me to visit his website. Turns out his website was provided to him - as well as every other representative in his networking business - by the company. It was slick, animated and screamed of being a me too website. (ME TOO meaning that all the representatives in his network had the exact same website with the...

•WWDD Or How To Find Qualified Network Marketing MLM Representatives
As one of the national training directors for a network marketed telecommunications company, I would always seek catchy terms that would have an impact on (and be easily emembered by) anyone I trained. Especially when I trained the trainers…who would in turn train other new recruits. Whenever I would get to the section of training involving prospecting for new representatives, I would pull out my WWDD sign from my folder. I would ask what does WWDD mean. No one ever got the right...
