97% of all people who venture into the world of network marketing fail. WHY???
There's probably something to be said about picking the right company in the first place, but that aside, here's the essence of why network marketers fail:
They don't have a clue what marketing is all about.
They think someone will build their business for them.
Their company training doesn't prepare them for the realities of today's markets.
They do exactly what their upline tells them (The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing).
Maybe you're saying to yourself, "Yep - been there, experienced that." Tell me, do the following statements sound familiar?
We do the recruiting for you.
All you need is to get 2 or 3 people.
Your website will do most of the work for you.
The spillover from us will build you a huge business.
You won't have to recruit.
You won't have to sell anything.
Lets get real! Do you honestly think that highly successful people think like that? Do they actually look for opportunities where they don't have to do anything or do very little?
Of course not. What they actually do is structure their business-building activities to get the highest and best use for their time and effort.
Fact: 95% of people working a home*business are not making money.
Fact: Buying "opportunity seeker" leads is a waste of your time and money.
Fact: No one will build it for you.
Fact: You can actually make money IF armed with the truth.
Here's what highly successful people DON'T DO:
Buy useless lead lists.
Work with 1 prospect at a time.
Cold call 6-8 hours a day.
Rely on 3-way calls.
Beg people to join them in business.
Here's what highly successful people DO:
Use an automated system to shift and sort potential prospects.
Have qualified prospects calling them.
Work only 2-3 hours a day (after the business building phase).
Build a team.
Delegate different activities to the person best qualified to handle them.
Build LARGE organizations in 6-12 months.
