Network marketing is a great way to have a business, create income, freedom and a life and lifestyle. The problem is most network marketers make some or all of these 7 deadly mistakes and then don't make money from network marketing.
Here are the mistakes and what to do about them!
Mistake 1: They believe they can get wealthy fast doing little or nothing
Sure that sounds great but the truth is building any business takes time and energy. It would be great to imagine yourself on a beach in Tahiti while money rolls in and you do nothing. You can't start a business that way, though! Many network marketers fail just because they believe they don't need to work.
You wouldn't start up a restaurant and then sit home and do nothing! You'd work that business and take it serioulsy as a business! I am not saying you have to work it full time, but you DO have to work at it.
Money flows in to those who are persistent and who work at network marketing.
Mistake 2: They believe they don't have to market and sell.
They believe the company will feed them leads or that CD's or DVD's or meetings or 3 way calls will bring them all the customers and business associates they need. So, they have no background in sales and marketing and don't learn those skills. Again, if you started your own business you'd find ways that are comfortable for you to market and sell.
Mistake 3: They believe they can market solely through the Internet
Sure you can get leads from the Internet and some companies have great lead generators and autoresponders for you to use. But here is the catch. People buy from people and people join a team because of people. You must be willing to spend time talking to leads and building relationships with them. Without the personal connection, you'll have leads and no business and make no money.
Mistake 4: They believe the product/company will sell it self
No matter how hot the product or service or industry nothing sells itself. If you believe this hype you'll end up doing nothing and making nothing. If you have a product/service you are passionate about that is great, but they won't sell themselves. You still need sales and marketing and relationship building if you are going to succeed. Sure the company might succeed, but I am talking about YOUR success!
Mistake 5: Anyone can do it
No the only ones that do it successsfully are the ones willing to build relationships, speak to people, share the products/services and opportunity and use marketing and selling skills. People willing to learn these skills and these processes and then make them their own and do them regularly and consistently WILL make money... those who don't do these things can not be successful.
What I want you to get is that network marketing can be done well and you can make a lot of money at it (I know as I do!) and coach others to also. It is done by learning skills and tools, putting those to work and going through the process of self growth and business building.
If you are willing to learn and work a business, I think network marketing is a fantastic choice!
