Six Reasons For Success In The Network Marketing Industry?

What Do Those Who Are The Most Successful In Network Marketing Put Their Success Down Too?

Successful people in Network Marketing & Direct Sales were interviewed and asked what they put their success down too. These people were earning incomes of $20,000 dollars a month to $400,000 dollars per month, and had been in the business for on average 11 years! They were also from different companies and didn't know off each other.

1. The number one reason they all gave for their success was they followed a proven system. The problem is, that its human nature to want to put our mark on everything we touch, so many new distributors go wrong by trying to reinvent the wheel by doing things differently, they think they are smarter than anyone else. Successful people find someone who is successful and they follow and learn form them and follow a proven system.

2. The number two reason for their success was they didn't quit, unfortunately a lot of people quit before they become successful. One successful person was interviewed, he had been in the business for 7 years, but for the first three years he said he had nobody in his down line at all, in his 3^rd year it finally clicked and after 5-7years developed $80,000 per month residual income. Unfortunately most people don't understand the nature of network marketing. What happens is "Most people over estimate what they can do in a year, but they underestimate what they can do in 10 years" and 90% quit before their first year the advice is just give it some time.

3. They all felt that their success was down to being fishers not hunters.

There is a difference in the philosophy is how they engage with people. A hunter is overly aggressive; if we can use the analogy of an animal it knows when it's being hunted, so it runs in the other direction. The animal doesn't want to die so they run from you, its human nature to run away from danger.

Successful people fish for people rather than hunting them. When you fish for an animal the animal comes to you, in hunting the animal always dies! At least with fishing you can catch and then throw it back!

4. Attract others to you, gaining influence in your circle of influence and building a network. This is what makes a successful fisherman?

You have to go where there are fish, go to places with lots of people and go where the fish are hungry!

Some people are not successful because they find someone who has no interest what so ever and decide they have got to get this person to try their business, they become the hunter and the poor 'prospect' runs away. It could just mean that they are just not hungry at that time. If you come back later they might bite and they might want your help.

The successful understand that they are the bait! You are the bait if some one wants to buy something or you are educating them, they are buying you. They are not buying the product, the compensation plan they are buying you. If you are not the right kind of bait that they are attracted too, they will never buy your products or join your business.

5. Successful people understand it's about presentation. How do the successful people you know present themselves, are they polished? Do they learn what they need to learn about how to present the business, is the sales low pressure or high pressure.

6 Successful people get out there, they get, on the phone, they talk to their team and new prospects every day. It's obviously not easy and it's going to be difficult as some people are going to say no to you. The Network Marketing business is a flexible business it's but it takes good old fashioned hard work.

One final key to what do those who are the most successful in Network Marketing put their success down too, they "Work harder on themselves than they do on their business" personal development is a priority. Income rarely exceeds personal growth.

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?
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.
Network Marketing Business - Hello all, Recently, I had join a Network Marketing Business on a part-time basis. Does anyone here who has some knowledge on this type of business? I want to learn as fast as I can from all the gurus here
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.
Re: answer this question - This is a good topic. I haven't done anything, yet, to seriously damage my business. I did shift gear though. It was the best decision I ever made. For me, affiliate marketing was not working. Making the switch to Network Marketing made all the difference.
