Network Marketing Does NOT Work ?

There is a lot of talk about how Network Marketing Does NOT Work.

Let us look into why they say this and why it's Incorrect.

Most Network Marketing people get into the business with little to no experience with the industry. Most people are NOT sales people and even more have a very small circle of influence. Unlike many other regular positions, the screening process usually comes down -

-Money (startup fees)
-Availability to work in that country

So Network Marketing (MLM) as a whole really has very little restrictions to who can start their own home business. If you have enough startup money people will go ahead and sponsor whoever.

This is the Incorrect way to building a company.

Lets see why.

Any normal business will run something like this (through Human Resources):
1) Lead (new person) can either apply in person or be found by referral systems (Monster, headhunter, or company ad)
2) The HR person will screen the applicants and only select a few to come for a 1st interview. Most cases they go through your resume and whatever recommendations you might have. The Headhunter of course sells YOU. Some companies at this point might even do a phone interview to screen more people out.
3) 1st on site interview. You try to "sell" why you are the fit for the position. You try to convince the company why they should hire you.
4) In exchange, generally your time is purchased and you are given a rate of pay. For the hours you spend at work you get paid a set amount (unless you are in sales).

Network Marketing conducted by majority:
1) You are the HR department looking at anything that moves to join your business. You are literally chasing people down. Hounding them to join.
2) You only qualify to see if they are breathing and if they have enough money to jump in.
3) The interview generally consists of "pitching" the company and why they should join you
4) If all goes well, money is exchanged and now your doing business.

To look at this and say these are the same is funny.

In each case:
Who is in the position of power?
Who is "courting" the other?
Who is screening applicants?
Who is in the "abundance" state of mind?

Let's flip that programming of network marketing now. If you were to treat your business like a real business and actually screen applicants, you would be building a team. A team that would grow and learn. Not a team that joins for 3 months and dies off.

So how do you get to that point of being in position of power?

How can you be in a position where people WANT to join you but you first need to interview them.

Compare this:

HR department has 100 resumes that day.
or
Network Marketer has 5 prospects they met that day.

Who do you think will be doing the sifting and sorting that day vs who is literally clinging to their prospects?

It all comes down to a mentality of abundance. If you have a huge line of people waiting to talk to you, do you really need or want a tire kicker to join your team? No, it's a waste of time and resources.

So the Big Ticket question is..... How do you get a line of "resumes" in front of you that want what your are selling or to join your business?

LEADS - A whole bunch of them

You need to be generating 10-50 leads per DAY to be in the mindset that people really don't need to be convinced to join your opportunity.

~ 57,000 inmates to be released to California

Another LINK

The story just doesn't make sense.

"A panel of three federal judges, saying overcrowding in state prisons has deprived inmates of their right to adequate healthcare, tentatively ruled Monday that the state must reduce the population in those lockups by as many as 57,000 people."

So where do the 57,000 inmates go? Say hello to California!

"Some methods of cutting the population include limiting new admissions, changing policies so parole violators return to prison less frequently, and giving prisoners more time off of their sentences for good behavior and rehabilitation efforts."

When I'm reading this story it reads as if this is a top dollar University where it's actually hard to GET IN. I thought the whole process of jail was to keep the garbage off the streets. What the heck does "Limiting New Admissions" mean to you?

Sorry, our jail is full. Move along.

So what does this have to do with building a business online?

Speak with the correct people in charge and your fortune could change in a heart beat. Maybe your not delivering your message to the correct authorities. You ever think that it's not how loud you shout? Maybe it's to who you speak with? Speak with a qualified business prospect versus shouting out to people who could care less. The inmates got the ear of a couple key government officials and now many of them will be free. Inmates will always complain but when they got their message to the people who mattered their chances of early release has changed.

You might think your marketing campaign isn't working, but maybe your not doing it correctly? Maybe your not working it hard enough? Maybe your not working efficiently enough?

Learn to leverage your work online. Build early and often and you won't be caught in a situation as dire as letting inmates go due to poor planning. Prepare for the future by working hard today. Don't expect to solve tomorrow's problems in the future. You must start NOW.
