Network Marketing Business Building Is A Piece Of Cake.

Guest post by: Andy Acciaioli

Article Overview: When it comes to sponsoring a new representative into your network marketing business it is better for retention purposes to sponsor an experienced network marketing person. However, a person who is new to the network marketing business could also yield a high retention rate if dealt with honestly during the recruitment and presentation process.

Network Marketing Business Building Is A Piece Of Cake.

I am about to write something which many of you will find absolutely horrific. To the weak of heart I would encourage you not to read any further.. Okay, for those of you who are still with me, you have been warned.

In the current network marketing environment of attraction marketing I often wonder if we are not creating a feeding frenzy amongst ourselves. There is not a day that goes by that I do not receive at least 6 emails or Facebook messages trying to get me to switch my network marketing affiliation. Sort of like they are saying, you WILL be attracted to me and then join my business.

Quite frankly, is there any better catch than hooking an experienced network marketer into your network marketing business?

Look at the pluses:

1. They are experienced, requiring very little training.

2. They know that this is a business and they will have to spend money to make money.

3. They know that the results they will get out of their network marketing business will be directly proportional to the efforts they put in.

4. They know that success will not happen overnight and, like any business, it takes time to achieve profitability and success.

Usually someone new to network marketing will expect immediate results for little or no work. That is exactly the way the presenter at the business opportunity meeting he/she attended presented the opportunity: piece of cake, anyone can do it.

Any wonder why it is easier to retain an experienced network marketer than a newbie? Yes, the experienced networker has the qualities to stick with your opportunity until positive results are achieved. But here is a little secret: so does the newbie.

Were you to be sure that your new representative understood that at times it might be difficult, but that you were always accessible to them and that your network marketing company had a system in place to assist them, you would have a greater retention rate. If they also understood that success was not instantaneous once they joined your opportunity but would take time and energy on their part, they would be more likely to hang in there until they achieved profitability.

You have far better odds - given the one and a half billion people currently on the internet - of developing a sponsoring system for a newbie than all of us participating in a feeding frenzy to try to get each other to switch over to each other's network marketing business opportunity.

Will it be easy sponsoring in new reps? Piece of cake. Er. I mean, no it won't be easy. But I am always leery about cross recruiting a network marketer into my business feeling as though he/she could be just as easily cross recruited out of my business (along with others they may recruit from my business to join them).

Re: MLM Marketing, youtube, and buzzirk mobile. - I have experience with MLM too. My initial reaction to the business was "snake-oil salesman" but once I got to understand the "overall business model" I am now an advocate to it. MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) is also known as Network Marketing. I realized an MLM business is no different than any other business. One needs to focus on both words "Network" and "Marketing" and give both equal respect. Some people focus heavily on the Networking part but forget "Marketing". I've started to use Building on a Budget and Magnetic Sponsoring concepts in my NM business and have found that people don't get involved so much because of the product but more because of what you bring to the table as far as marketing systems and support. I have both products listed in my signature. you don't have to buy it as the link to the free videos itself provides you a good understanding of what is required to position yourself as my above paragraph. If you do plan on purchasing it I can tell you that the measly $40 will open your eyes BUT your upline will not be too happy (atleast in the short term) beacuse the system is not duplicateable. I wrote this post as a polar post to Bulmer's reply as I have exhausted the friends and family networking and realized i never really focused on marketing. My leads now are more qualified and open to hearing about my opportunity than the other way around. my 2 cents if you plan on growing an MLM or Networking Marketing business.

Why do people hate Network Marketing / MLM? - I've been looking at a number of different opportunities and end up meeting a lot of Network Marketing / Multi-Level Marketing people. Some of the offers look interesting but everyone I talk to about it says to avoid these guys like the plague - what's the deal? Why do people hate network marketers and MLM people so much? Is it not legit?
10 best franchises to get involved - My advice is: 1) Go to the library and start reading business books (accounting, finance, etc.) 2) Go to your local community college and enroll in night classes 3) Join the local Chamber of Commerce 4) Network / Network / Network -- through the above sources. Once you have spent two years doing the above, then look for a 55 - 60 year old business person that is looking to reduce their time in the business. Then you can work on a sweetheart financing option.
Type of business with building - If you owned a building and Wal-Mart was opening its doors across the street in a previously unoccupied area (along with 12-14 small shops), what type of business would you start? Here are the considerations: 1. Money is a non-factor 2. Building is fairly large (10,000) square feet 3. Building is on the corner of a busy intersection (about to get much busier)
