MLM Pitfall #1

The first pitfall from my book “MLM Pitfalls your upline never told you about”. Watch the video training or read the excerpt below.

Pitfall # 1. Saying “Let’s try this and see if it works”.

If you were getting married would you say “let’s try it and see if it works”? No – you would do your homework on the person ( really get to know them ) and then you make a commitment. For better and for worse.

The “lets try this and see if it works” attitude does simply not work. If you have that attitude, then it will almost definitely not work, because it takes a true commitment to make it to the top in anything. Were you really that naïve to think that success came that easily? And, if you haven’t been successful in the past, did you think that just the concept or system of network marketing would by magic make you successful? If that was true, then everybody would be in network marketing today.

It takes a special person to create special results, so if you are not special, are you committed to becoming a special person? If not, it will never work.

The “lets try this and see if it works” attitude comes from not doing your homework. You have to know your company, the products and the industry, before you can make a true commitment. Too many times people will just sign up based on the excitement of the meeting and forget to do their homework.

But remember this: People will respond to who you are more than what you do. So if you are a person that has not totally committed yourself, then people are going to sense that.

People want to know that they can rely on you to be there for them 3 years from now. If you are not committed in your heart to this company, how can you expect people to follow you. They simply won’t – people follow leaders that are committed and know where they are going.

Even if you attract a few people or even a handful or two, then they will be like you – UNCOMMITTED, and they will drop out when it get’s tough or when they find out that it takes work to make it in Network Marketing.

The moment, and I really mean the moment that I became committed to reach the top, everything changed for me – people started to show up at the meeting and they signed up. Not only that, but they were the right kind of people who were committed to do the work and make a difference.

Solution: Get to know the industry read books like “The Greatest Opportunity in the History of the World” by John Calench. Interview leaders and customers in your company.

Then make a firm commitment to stay in this company for better and for worse and make it work for you.

Tip: If you are searching for information on the internet, be skeptical about what you read. Most bigger/older companies will have negative information about them on the internet. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a bad Company.

Remember that other people will have a vested interest in publishing bad news about your company so don’t believe everything you read. Also remember that many big non-MLM companies also have bad press.
