Why Many Marketers Don’t Succeed In The World Of MLM

By Bruce E Gilchrist

A lot of affiliates enter into the Multi Level Marketing industry having vitality, enthusiasm, and also high expectations. A number perform impressively, but the larger percentage abandons this brilliant money-making venture disgruntled, disheartened and exasperated.

It’s very discouraging to watch colleagues depart from this highly profitable profession. The duty of a marketer is a totally different thing from your customary 9 to 5 routine. And from what I’ve observed on individuals who have given up early in the particular business, I realize that they demonstrate a number of common “characteristics”: Read the rest of this entry »

Are You Going After the Wrong Prospects?

By Sonia D. Stringer

Have you ever taken a child fishing for the first time?

I was visiting my family in Canada last July, and watched with delight as my brother took my 4 year old nephew, Sammy, out for his first fishing experience. (It was quite amusing, to say the least!)

For example, when I asked Sammy what kind of fish he wanted to catch, he replied (with great enthusiasm) “all of them!” When my brother looked through the tackle box to find a suitable lure, Sammy insisted on using a “pretty one”.

And as we strategically scanned the lake, looking for the best fishing spots, Sammy excitedly flipped his small pole over the side of the boat (half the time the hook floating ABOVE the water) and kept watch with a hopeful look. Needless to say, he didn’t catch anything, but he certainly had a lot of fun.

As I watched him, I couldn’t help but think that his excited but haphazard approach to fishing is much like how many of us approach building a business. We often go “fishing” for new prospects without much advance planning or forethought, and (despite our enthusiasm) then come home discouraged, and empty-handed!

Building Your Business Is a Lot Like Fishing!
For example, when I’ve asked my clients what kind of prospects are the best fit for their business, they often tell me (with as much enthusiasm as my nephew) “all of them!”

While your business opportunity and products can certainly help many different kinds of people, you need to know who your MOST ideal prospects are (the exact “fish” you are looking for) or it’s going to be very difficult for you to find them (to locate the specific fishing holes in which they “hang out”). Your ’shot gun’ approach will take up a lot of your time, and produce mediocre results at best.

That all changes when you stop attempting to sell and sponsor “everyone” and narrow your focus to a “target market”. Entrepreneur.com defines the term “target market” as “a specific group of consumers at which a company aims its products and services”…(the key word here being “specific”)!

Are You Too Focused on Money in Your MLM Business?

By Darren Olander

You started your MLM business to make money, which is one of the main motivations for anyone starting a commercial enterprise. If you are too focused on this aspect of your business, though, you will find it challenging to make it an ongoing success. Instead of focusing on revenue, a better approach is to give your attention to ways you can create value for the people you are dealing with.

If you focus too much on what you are getting from your business (money), you are missing out on the opportunity to develop good, long-term relationships with your prospects and the customers you are serving. These relationships are the key to success.

Customers and prospects are more likely to buy from you or sign up for your program if you have taken the time to develop a good relationship. Take the time to get to know them and find out how you can best meet their needs. Once you create an atmosphere of mutual trust, you will find it much easier to do business with that person.

Each and every one of us has an internal body clock that dictates our best periods of activity.  Most people’s body clocks are centered around daylight hours, and this comes from the eons that human beings had no choice but to function during the day because they relied on daylight for illumination.  Despite the fact that the invention of electricity has physically removed this constraint, we still mostly live by day and sleep by night.  We are creatures of habit, and this is a hard habit to break.  For those poor few who feel more energized during the night, life is difficult, since most civilizations have come to center most activities during the day.  Work related activities, banks, the stock markets, etc. are during the day, and leisure activities, theater, concerts, prime time T.V., is during the evening.  But how does this schedule work for each of us as individuals? It depends on what kind of a “time” person you are. Read the rest of this entry »
