Are You New To MLM Or Network Marketing And Can't Seem to Sponsor Anyone Should You Quit



The Simple Answer may be YES!  Let me explain.
This Happens to Everyone

 When people first get involved with a MLM or network marketing business they have an abundance of enthusiasm and hope. They want to share their opportunity with everyone. So we go out and tell everyone and anyone. I know this first hand because I did the same thing. And instead what I accomplished was setting myself up for failure and disappointment. I heard no after no. Although I was able to sponsor people, one they were sponsored they stopped answering my calls and responding to my emails. I couldn't understand where I went wrong. I couldn't understand why these people could not see what a great opportunity this was.

The Truth Hurts

The truth is that 95% of the people you introduce to your busines will say No! So how do you find that special 5% you might ask. You may also be wondering if it is even possible. Luckily, it is possible. But you need to find the right means to provide you with the right path to the financial ends that you want to accomplish.

So Where Should You Start?

Well first things first. You need to first determine whether the networking company that you are involved in has a good reputation, has marketable products or services and is something you can believe in. You may not have done your research on your company. If you got involved just to "get rich quick" then you may have gone about this all wrong. You have the wrong outlook and are sure to fail. So do some independant research online. Go the company's website and see what top management is saying. See that the company's mission statement is. If you have a good feeling and can connect with the company then you probably made the right choice.

Are you actually using the Products or Services you are promoting?
It will be pretty hard to try to introduce the products or services available through you network marketing business if you are not using them yourself. People will want to know how these products or services have benefited you. They want to know "Your Story". If you enjoy these products and services then you will be conveying that to a potential prospect. This will also serve to increase your belief in your company and help you stay connected to your opportunity so that any negative responses that you receive from people will have less of an impact.

Are You Utilizing the Proper Resources

We all know that we live in the age of the internet. Social media platforms are everywhere. These are the places that you will be able to find the right people who are "looking for your opportunity". Most people make the mistake of using the internet and social media in the wrong way. This often backfires on them and can damage their reputation. The key is to develop yourself as a leader and show people that you have value to them.

The old school methods of building a list of people that you know which may include your family, your friends, your co-workers, your old college or high school buddies, the neighbor down the street who you don't get along with etc. You get my meaning. If you go this route you will be hearing no after no after no. You will be left feeling disappointed and ready to quit. But there is hope. You need the right system to attract the right people to you.

So How Do You Gain the Necessary Skills

The first thing is that you need to be open to learning. The second is that you need to be willing to spend time on fostering the necessary skills to sponsor people. You should be reading self-help books. You should be listening to CDs in your car explaining how to network your business. You should be watching training webinars available from your company.

So How Do You Find The People "That Are Looking"

The key is by marketing yourself and your skills to them. This is not by telling them about your MLM opportunity. It is the exact opposite. You want to build a following by providing some basic information to people that could help their business. For example, we have already established that it can be hard to sponsor people in network marketing. And don't you think that other network marketers out there, even if they are part of another company, also struggle with this. Of course they do. And that could be a market that you cater to. This is where affiliate marketing comes in. Maybe you do not have the knowledge at this point to write a self-help book or create a video series. But you know what there are plenty of generic self help resources out there for network marketers. And many of these companies will pay you a commission to introduce other people to their product(s). The benefit to you is that you can start earning money right away and beginning to establish to people that you are a great resource of knowledge to them. This is how you will begin to build your list of contacts. This is how you will begin to connect with the people that are looking. Once people have an established connection with them, you will be able to introduce them to your company's opportunity as well. Then you will start to see results.

Affiliate Marketing

As I said, there are a lot of affiliates out there that offer commission based opportunities for you to advertise their products. My suggestion is that you pick one or two that you have used yourself so you know first hand their benefits. One great product that I have used is called Magnetic Sponsoring. It is really a how to guide on marketing yourself on the internet, how to recruit and sponsor people, how to advertise, how to talk to prospects and how to be successful. It was created by a guy named Mike Dillard. He was just an average guy waiting tables. He is now a millionaire. It just goes to show you that anything is possible.

What I am so excited about is that Mike has given me permission to share these videos with you for free. That's right you can have completely free access to 7 of Mike's videos.

Top Five Reasons Why Most People Fail at Network Marketing or MLM businesses and How You Can Avoid These Pitfalls to Achieve Financial Success



 We All Want the Same General Things

Like everything in life, people and things make us happy. Whether it is our family, friends, co-workers, a nice house, a nice car, vacationing etc. The People are free but having "things" cost money. And some things that we want in life are not within our reach because of the limited income that we may have. In today's economy relying on a corporate job for stability in contributing to our financial well being is a thing of the past. We have to look out for ourselves. One way to do that is to have a flow of low risk alternate forms of income. Most people do this through home based business opportunities.

Low Overhead, Be Your Own Boss

The great thing about network marketing companies is that you as a distributor get paid to share the company's products and services. You do not have to create or produce the products, you do not have to create the literature about the products and you certainly do not have to worry about overhead costs. Most network marketing companies offer commissions based on sales made and also offer multiple levels of income opportunities. This can mean the potential for a substancial amount of money being paid out to the company's distributors. The great thing is that it is your business and you can go at your own pace. You are truly your own boss and can do this business in your spare time and at your own pace.

Is it Really That Easy?

The simple answer is Yes and No. The Key is having the right opportunity, the right team of people behind you for support and the right tools and resources to leverage your business. I will explain what I mean by this below.

So Why Do Most People Fail

1. People present their opportunity to the wrong audience. (sharing the opportunity with friends, family and the strangers you meet at the grocery store is not enough. You will be left with feelings of rejection and ridicule as one by one people keep saying no to your opportunity and stop returning your phone calls).

2. People think that word of mouth advertising is the best way to promote their business and are missing the boat on one of the most important resources available. (Tapping into the internet and social media has the potential to reach millions of people from all parts of the world. This is the best way to find people "who are looking" for your opportunity.)

3. People fail to recognize that people want solutions to their problems and not necessarily your opportunity. (You need to learn that your business is not about your wants and needs. You are here to show people how your opportunity will help solve their problems. You do this by putting the needs of your potential customers or prospects first and not your own. Ask them questions to find out how additional income may provide them with benefits to go on that dream vacation, pay for their children's college, retire early, buy that vacation home etc. The key is building trust and showing them that you are a person they can count on.)

4. People give up on the opportunity before they even get started. (Hearing people say no to your opportunity especially when it is coming from friends or family members, which are the people that you trust the most, can really leave you feeling empty inside and confused. The excitement that you had when you first got into your new business slowly drindles away and it is hard to get it back. But their is hope. If you are serious about earning extra income through your business then you need to make at least a 6-12 month committment.)

5. People treat their new business like a hobby. (You will fail at your business if you do not take it seriously and treat it like it is your own business. Set goals and do the activities that will help you achieve those goals. Hold yourself accountable. No one said it would be easy but the financial rewards of your hardwork can be great!

Finding and Connecting With the Right Audience for Your Opportunity

As I mentioned above, the key to success is having the right people behind you and the proper tools and resources to guide you to financial success. The solution is leverage. And where can you get leverage is by marketing your opportunity on the internet. This is where you will find the right people "who are looking" for your opportunity. I have discovery a system that is automatically designed to find qualified individuals to take out the prospecting guesswork for you. Afterall, wouldn't you feel better if you were talking to someone on the phone who is actually open to the opportunity that you have to present to them. That is half the battle.

So you want to work from home…what do you do now?

So I want to work from home…what do I do now?

Well first things first. You need to decide what type of business you want to be involved in and how many hours a week you can spend training and working your business.

You can do something more traditional like becoming a sales consultant for Avon, Tastefully Simple, Pampered Chef etc. To generate sales you will need to share the sales catalog from the corresponding company with your friends, family, co-workers, etc. Another traditional method of making sales is by having home parties at your house or your customer’s house. I think most people that are involved with this type of business probably spend at least 10-15 hours a week on business related activities including home parties. I am not familiar with the commission plan that each of these companies has. If you are interested, I would suggest that you go directly to their websites. I would think that one downside of this type of business is that it is somewhat geared to marketing to those in your immediate area and not necessarily in surrounding states or around the world.

There are also MLM companies. In most MLM models, they are based on a sales “tree” in which you recruit other people into your business including customers.  You will make a commission from the points that you accumulate from the purchases that are made from those people that are below you on the “tree”. There is more initial time investment in these types of businesses because of additional training needed to learn how to market the product itself as well as the opportunity. Not everyone is comfortable with the term “recruiting” because it is often associated with forcibly trying to get your friends and family to buy your stuff. However, “recruiting” often gets a bad wrap. Think about this. Most people are looking for an opportunity to earn money from home especially in today’s bad economy. The training that is offered will help you to talk to the right people to lessen any chance of rejection. Most of these companies have readily available training videos and interactive tutorials to streamline your training so you can get moving and make some money.
      One hot product right now is the Body by Vi 90 day weight loss challenge. In August 2011 alone over 60,000 people joined. It is a new company and is currently only distributed in the United States and Canada. It is growing. There are opportunities to take advantage of the product launches as the company expands into other countries. You can learn more about this opportunity at http://tiny.cc/losenow or http://tiny.cc/gostartnow.

There are also direct sales internet marketing companies. Most of these are commission based. Most offer products or services to potential customers. Since these are “internet” based some have a sales funnel set up to use to market to people from around the world. So instead of just reaching people in your town or immediate area, you can reach potential customers from other countries. This broader approach can help you find the “right” people that are actually “looking” for your opportunity. One such business model whose sales funnel actually weeds out the tire kickers and less serious prospects is Pro Elite. This is one of the top internet marketing companies out there. They have a high commission payout. You can learn more about this opportunity at http://tiny.cc/proelite.
Again there will be a learning curve and some initial time investment in training and setup. One thing that I like about ProElite is the exceptional support system that they have in place to get you trained and on your way to earning additional income quickly.
