Avoid Common mistakes in any Network Marketing or MLM Business

by OnBehalfOf on June 22, 2010

In this Blog I am going to share 5 points,

“What are the common mistakes a person does, when he newly joins the MLM BUSINESS?”

What is the best approach to avoid such mistakes?

Why most of the people fail in MLM Business?

Reason are listed below -

1. Contacting immediately your warm contacts like Friends and relatives

Don’t jump directly into approaching your warm contacts, first familiarize yourself with the Plan, products and basics of Network Marketing.

People just start calling their warm contacts, and says “Hey How are you? How’s work going on? I have started one Business Opportunity, would you be

Interested? By this you can make your big bucks and you can leave your current job within first 6 months? and so and so…..

What do you expect the prospect will say?

He will say either a big  “NO” or “I will think this over ” or “Send me the website, I will see” or “he will stop picking your call” etc

He would not magnetized with the offer :(

So idea here is you need to have patience while explaining about the Business Opportunity, First get to know more about the steps for telling or inviting for

the Opportunity. For more details on Invitation process and steps check my other Blog >> <a href=”http://tipsfornetworkmarketingbusiness.wordpress.com”>Invitation</a>  Steps

2. People always depends upon their UPLINE

Any Network Marketing opportunity you have joined is your own business, don’t always depend upon your Upline to talk to your prospects.

Why your prospect will join you? If you can’t not explain him the Business Plan/Products? So get yourself prepared for the Presentations, Business Plans,

Products, company backgrounds, other company business plans etc

Be an Independent Representative.

3. Buying Business Leads

This would work, but result again would be less than 5-10 %, Generate the Targeted Leads from your own is the best way to grow faster.

Remember Buying Leads would always be Generic. Less than 25% would be interested to listen you and out of those 25%, less than 5-10 % would be part of your

Business, and out of those there might be 1% (if you are lucky), who might be from MLM or Network Marketing background.

Also to buy such leads, don’t spend more than your earnings, Once in a while you can do that, but not always. Because without the profits no Business can

Survive for the long. Don’t be in Big LOSS.

So for the long term and faster growth look for Targeted Prospectus, I will surely tell you how to do that in my next Blog.

4. Don’t marry.

Begin in love with the Business Plan and Products is a great idea.

Marrying is also good, but always open yourself towards the multiple stream of Income (like having few girl friends around), without money you can not

Survive, and for your main Business to grow you need Money for Books, Courses and Website, Lead capture page etc

5. Stop learning and start recruiting

A balance between both is very much important; concentration in only one side would kill the Business in the long term. So make it practice of doing both on the daily basis.

    I have been in business for myself for the past 20 years. I have been in 3 different successful business and all I can tell you is the doing and learning from doing is the best teacher. You cannot read a book on how to become an entrepreneur, I have had many people over the years ask me how I do what I do…you cannot have a fear of failure.

    Google Donald Trump/Robert Kiosaki and Warren Buffet…..these are 3 very wealthy men….find out what business they would start tomorrow if they lost everything today……..you will be surprised to see that all three men would get involved in Network Marketing as it is the fastest way back to the top. Warren Buffet actually owns 3 Network marketing Companies, what does that tell you? No inventories, have a national and international sales force, earn substantial income.
