Network marketing success and failure
I like talking about network marketing success and I don’t see failure myself BUT I keep getting the same question again and again:
Why most network marketers fail?
It seems that many souls are afraid of failing and that makes them paralyzed from taking any action. (There are no failures in life just mistakes that you should learn from) .
Let’s discuss some reasons for lack of network marketing success and I will prove to you that not as many people fail in mlm.
1) Most distributors quit before 60-90 days!
Did these people fail?
The answer is: NO- These distributors have never expected any success. They probably did not understand that network marketing is a business that requires learning new skills and hard work. What is the reason? most mlm presentations lead with hype!
Let me give you examples: “Join now the matrix we will fill the matrix for you” - “Rush it is a binary plan: position yourself now, etc…”
So you are recruiting lazy people with welfare mentality.
Then after they join, you ask them to call people, listen to conference calls, set goals, and expect rejection and work! Good luck, lol.
2) You closed them!
If the prospect doesn’t have a big dream and big reasons to join you and they joined you because you kept chasing them and manipulated them.
After they join they will not follow up any recommendations and they will not work.
Did these people fail? No - You got them into the deal; they are not interested in success.
MLM is an army of volunteers, prospects should close themselves.
3) Lack of training:
Most companies training sucks and this is a fact. If the sponsor teaches them to make a list of their friends and family and that’s the only lead generation they teach. How do you expect them to succeed? If they are lucky, they will find Mentoring for free.
MLM training must include marketing lessons offline and online, writing ads, targeting the market to generate plenty of leads.
Prospecting should be painless. Teaching rejection free prospecting is essential. People will try to avoid pain more than they try to gain pleasure.
Did these people fail? Yes and No. Real leaders will search for answers, they will learn marketing and they will teach it to their team members.
4) Compensation plans that work against personality types:
That’s a long discussion and I do not have time for it here.
If you have one hour to listen, you can listen to one the mentoring for free call where Michael is interviewed about this topic.
5) Poor self esteem/lack of vision/lack of belief/lack of support:
This is may be one of the real reasons for failure.
Any training program should include self development program. Self growth is critical to any business.
If you do not have good self esteem and you do not see yourself as a success before you even talk, you do not have a persona; you have no power of persuasion. You can not attract prospects to you. You are not magnetic.
That’s why we have in the mentoring for free our Saturday calls where we read motivational books that changes the poor beliefs in some people.
Randy Gage one of the famous mlm trainers during the master mind IV put this as the #1 reason for failure. The only way he succeeded is when he destroyed his belief systems.
He used to belive that rich people are evil, he never reached success until he realized this poor belief and destroyed it.
Some are encircled with poor belief systems induced by TV, newspapers and even religion.
Some Christian for example uses the Christ and the bible to induce a belief system against the rich. For example: The idea that Jesus is born poor and you can not go to heaven if you are rich.
The same bible is interpreted completely differently!
Jim Rhon and Doug Firebaugh for example use the bible to empower themselves. They extract the empowering quotes in the bible.
Doug for example sees Jesus as the original networker. Jesus was able to recruit people by the millions!
I do believe that most network marketers who look for answers will find them soon or later.
Now, it may take some people couple of months or years till they find the formula.
The ONLY failure is the one that makes you stop!!
I hope this will answer this question. If you can see most people who join mlm companies fail but leaders with great desire soon or later will find the right company and the right team.
I do believe most network marketers succeed

I did discuss that one of the mlm secrets was to build relationships between your team members.
Relationships are the glue of your organization.
I was reading Chapter 18 in the new book the ultimate guide to network marketing.
The chapter is entitled: Recognition - the driving force by Brad Hager
And I decided to share with you this crucial concept that you should add to glue your organization further.
Brad Hager seems to have many ideas that we preach in the mentoring for free.
Brad tells his story when he was failing miserably in his network marketing career and he would ask his upline: What should I do?
And they answer him: ’sponsor more people’ or ‘do more of what you’re already doing’!
He makes fun of this idiotic statement: Why he would keep doing the same wrong things again and again. He also tells the story of a woman who sponsored 42 new people in one month and they are all gone the next month.
I have already discussed these in prior posts. You need to build it slow on hard ground. Build it once build it big to pay you and pay your children.
Anyway, let’s get back to the point. (I am ‘blue’ personality, sorry)
People may not care about the money as much as they care being recognized.
Most network marketing companies are really good in this concern and that’s why they have those names: ‘platinum’ and ‘gold’ etc…
But, how are you recognizing your team members?
Sometimes you have to congratulate your member for making the first phone call, from starting their own blog, writing an article.
You must recognize small steps and big steps. Do not reply on your company to do so.
The famous Jim Rhon emphasizes this concept and he tells in his CDs that sometimes people want just a tap on the back and a nice word: ‘Mary you are doing a great job.’
Are you chasing your downlines to get them to work?
Or are you recognizing their small steps and building their self esteems.
Are you building leaders or are you building consentment?
A great Mentor, Jim Rhon says, is the one that sees in you what you can not see yet in yourself!
Start today, small recognition to your team members on each step they do.
In the near future, I am going to discuss some questions I have been asked:
1-What does network marketing ads to my life besides money?
2-What is the best ways to duplicate?
3-How to build leaders
I appreciate you,
