Pull Them, Don’t Push Them

This article is primarily directed toward people who work at home in a business that happens to involve network marketing.
I am often contacted by members of my business team with complaints regarding a lack of response or lack of action on the part of their affiliates. Their complaints typically go something like. . . “I send out lots of emails to all of them and I very rarely get any response and it seems like very few of them are taking any action. What am I doing wrong?”.
There are many types of internet-based home businesses where feedback and interaction are quite important and getting an affiliate or business team member to communicate with you is a definite objective. It’s not at all surprising that this can be a challenge when you stop to think that what you are trying to do is initiate a dialog between two complete strangers who have never even seen each other.
In the case of network marketing, it is of critical importance to build a sense of trust with your team members. Network marketing is very definitely a relationship business and each relationship typically starts out with two complete strangers sitting at their respective keyboards.
The team building aspect of network marketing is of vital importance to the success of each individual member and to the team as a whole. Two key elements of team building are trust and confidence and these factors play a very large role, particularly for new team members.
With all that being said, many people love the IDEA of making good money working at home in their own business and expect it to just “happen”, but have no willingness to take any action or put forth any effort to make it happen.
Having been involved with team building and network marketing for some time, I have come to adopt the following as my operating credo. . . “if you have the desire and are willing to put in the effort, I’ll pull you along so you can go faster down the road to success, but if you don’t want move on your own, I’m not going to waste my time trying to push you forward”.
Its like working with a length of chain. . . pulling it along works fine, but trying it push it forward only results in a pile of frustration.
You need to be able to distinguish between people that have a legitimate interest in developing a home based business and those lost souls that feel that they have just joined another chat group and only want to engage in an endless “debate” about the virtues of whatever business you are promoting, but never actually had any intention of establishing a business. . . you will have to develop your own method of reading people like this (its mainly a sense of feel. . . sort of a belly button thing).
You can help someone reach for success. . . but you can’t reasonably expect to make them want to be successful. Its just another variation of that very old and tired cliche. . . that “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink”.
Another way of looking at it is if you are trying to move people forward, you pull them from in front (a leadership position), but if you have to push them it will be from behind (not a position of leadership).

 

MLM Blunders

It’s really strange! Too many people start an MLM business with excitement, enthusiasm, anticipation and thrill, only for the reason that they want to be a successful home businessman. There are many people, who right now are not as successful as they would like to be. If your performance in this field is error free and you have adopted a path that has least possibilities of failure so you can do this business in a proper way as well as make lots of money. There are so many mistakes, people make in their network marketing business. We want to explain you some important mistakes people make in their Network Marketing businesses. If you avoid those mistakes in your MLM business, then you can observe that there is a drastic increase in your profit. We are now discussing main blunders people make durig their MLM business.
First thing is that, make a trusting relationship with your new prospect. A relationship in which he/she trusts on you more than himself. It is nearly impossible that a person do not trust you and risk his hard-earned money with you as his sponsor. So keep in mind this thing that your new prospect must have great faith in you.
Now, let me explain to you what a cold list is. It’s a list comprised of names shown no interest in your offer. They do not pay attention on your attractive offers and they also don’t care about the position of your company in the market. If you mail your opportunities and offers to the cold list then it must be fruitful for you and your Network Marketing business. This technique is much fruitful when you are mailing to the person who ask for more information about your opportunity.
Avoid laziness in your business as much as possible. Laziness is disastrous for your Network Marketing business. In order to earn money you have to be hardworking and meticulous. Many of us talk so much about working to make money but never really apply the concept in their real life.
The main thing in Network Marketing business is to learn about every aspect of your business. Because this is network marketing. It’s not a joke. It’s a real business like other businesses and in a real business you must have to be aware of every aspect of that business.
This is a fact that not all human beings are equal. This is not necessary that you don’t make a single mistake throughout your MLM or network marketing business, but you can try to avoid those mistakes as much as possible. The mistakes we made normally in our network marketing business as discussed above are easy to avoid and if we successfuly avoid them from our network marketing business, then we surely make us a successful network marketing businessman.

 

You Gotta Give it Time

When I first began looking to earn money on the web, I was curious about everything! I joined one program after the next because everything looked interesting. Like a lot of people I searched for an easy way to earn money from the net. If I saw the word “easy” I went for it.
It didn’t take long to find out there is no easy way to make money on the net. No matter what I decided to promote, if I wanted to make it work, I’d have to commit to it for the long haul.
That meant advertising CONSISTENTLY. Consistency builds trust. When people see your ad again and again they will recognize someone who is serious about their business.
Advertising also involves trying different venues such as placing ads in e-zines or giving away free reports to discover the best methods for your offerings as well as testing various ads to find out what works and what doesn’t.
I had to be willing to study the network marketing business. That meant reading, reading and reading some more.
Most of all, I had to discover if the opportunity was a good fit. If you don’t believe in what you are promoting, success is only an illusion.
I decided it was important for me to find a first rate product that would help others in their quest for network marketing success. My website reflects this desire. I market several top-selling resources that have helped hundreds of people build a successful online venture.
Are you discouraged? Take a fresh look at your opportunity. How much effort have you put it?
If you believe you’ve made the best effort and aren’t getting the results you want maybe it’s time to discard that program or product and find something else.
The bottomline? YOU GOTTA GIVE IT TIME. Give yourself time to study, learn, apply concepts, and develop your marketing skills. In time, you’ll reap the rewards of patience and consistency.
