Network Marketers Will Have to Avoid These 8 Deadly Plagues to Succeed

by Dan Lambeth

It has been well documented that only 2 or 3% of all network marketers ever make any real money. These 8 deadly plagues are like the swine flu. Anyone can catch them and they can be fatal to your business. The cure is easier than you think though and it will make you stronger than ever.

Plague #1. Need More Leads; Working over your friends and family and everyone within 3 feet (warm list) is fraught with rejections and can put you in the NFL club (No Friends Left) This leads many to quit. Using a lead generation and marketing training system to supply an endless stream of interested leads will cure this quickly.

Plague #2. Need More Money; The average paycheck for network marketers is about $43 per month and most auto-ships cost way more which means your business is in the red every month. People run out of money and are discouraged when their new "home business" is not making money. A lead generation system that is a funded proposal and has 20+ affiliate's that are resources for your business van generate cash flow quickly and could cure this problem in weeks.

Plague #3. Ineffective Retro Marketing Training ; New reps are taught old school methods for recruiting and no matter how hard they try, they cannot build a downline. The right training will show you who your target market is and where to find them in abundance. Then, with the right tools and resources, it will show you how to use the Internet to position yourself so that they can find you.

Plague #4. Lack of Duplication ; One reason the number of success stories is so low is that not everyone has the right personality required to build an MLM business the old school way. With a system that is customizable, generic, and self branding and that can be utilized by people of all different skill levels for any MLM or online business on the Internet, everyone can start with the parts that appeal to them the most and then, after success in those areas, move on to the more advanced or less known methods.

Plague #5. Retention ; Most network marketers only last about 2 months. If you were using a system that positioned you online where interested prospects can find you and leave their contact info and you learned how to do that with the system, how hard would it be to share the system to all of your prospects so they could learn the same things? If this system also got them into profit within weeks how many would quit making money?

Plague #6. Time leverage ; If you spent all of your time going to meetings, trying to find leads, attempting to qualify the leads and working to convert those leads with home presentations and company replicated websites, how tiring would all of that become? How many people could you sign up that would work that hard at it with you? If you had a system that not only found leads on auto-pilot but also did your follow up for you and weeded out the tire kickers so you could spend the majority of your time on money making activities, that would be the most productive and valuable use of your time.

Plague #7. Self Branding ; Most MLM companies have lots of reps and you have to stand out if you want someone to join you. Then, if that company changes their rules or disqualifies you for some reason, you are out and those you signed up are still being managed by the company. When you learn to brand YOU and promote YOU, you will stand, out as a leader, from the other reps in your company and if for any reason, you change companies, you will be able to take your team members with you because they will all be following you instead of your company.

Plague #8. Get Rich Quick Mentality ; Lots of people fall into this trap. They have one of the other plagues affecting them and they start looking at every other plan around. They think there is a magic site or a magic plan out there that will work better or easier. People who think they can get rich quick with little or no work are deceiving themselves and are probably lazy. The right system for lead generation will not only show you how to generate your own leads but also show you how much work the industry leaders are doing to get where they are. This is a simple business but it is not easy. There will be a lot of work required. But you have to realize that anyone with average skills and a strong drive can have great achievements.

When you understand these fatal plagues, and have a system to combat them, you are way ahead of the pack. There are many systems and many MLM companies out there and all of them can work but you will have to work at it if you want to succeed. Most of the top professions require you to take continuing education classes each year to stay in business.

This industry is no different except that with how fast things change technologically, you may need to know something this week that you didn't last week. The best marketing training system needs to have weekly training sessions for those who want to stay on top of the newest methods and resources. This system has been recording all of the weekly training sessions for over a year and all of them are posted in the back office for the members to review as often as they want. That means that there are hundreds of hours of training already archived and more added every month.

The secret to network marketing is to adopt the principles of attraction marketing where your prospects are attracted to you. You do this by offering value freely so that others will come to like and trust you. This will make them want to join you no matter what company you are with.
