Network marketing is simple! Having been in the industry for decades, I can attest to that. But it is not easy. In this blog post, I’ll help you understand the difference between the two. Don’t fall for the hype. Learn realistic expectations about success in a networking opportunity.
Network marketing has been around for decades. It has also been known as multi level marketing or MLM. It is a proven business model where a company sells a product or service to the consumer through a network of distributors rather than through a traditional retail operation. People around the world have been drawn to the business model because of its low initial investment, the idea of being their own boss, and the hope of earning a substantial income.
Network marketing is simple because of the ability to just copy what works
It is important to join the right network marketing opportunity and team. You will have a proven marketing system to follow, excellent training, and a personal mentor to show you the way. Because the business model relies on an ever-growing network of distributors, seeing new people have success is heavily emphasized. Starting out right is critical.
We teach people on our team to just copy what works…it’s that simple! And that’s what it takes.
The Internet has automated much of the business-building process and allows network marketers to leverage their time and expand their coverage. Unlike the old school method of approaching friends and family, today networkers can prospect and build their business world-wide, 24/7.
Everything is simpler than it used to be. However…
It is not easy…it’s work!
Don’t fall for the hype. Network marketing is work. Hard work. And if you want to have big success, it is a lot of hard work.
Just getting started with the right company and team trips up way too many aspiring network marketers. Unfortunately, too many new people get hung up on choosing the product and the compensation plan rather than the team and how they will build their new business. The road ahead for them will not be easy.
Making the choice even tougher is the fact that many times potential network marketers have been led down the wrong path by hype, inflated claims and occasionally flat out lies. It can sometimes be very difficult to feel like you have done diligent research.
While online marketing has greatly expanded the number of potential prospects a network marketer can reach, the numbers are still against you. No matter how good your opportunity is, most people will still say no. Rejection is part of the game. You need big numbers to have massive success.
And the numbers you run need to be bigger yet as a certain number of people will always quit, even on the best teams. Attrition is always a challenge.
Now you know the facts. It is not easy, but network marketing is simple!
To your success,
