Most people go into network marketing
business with their minds filled with the notion that network
marketing business is the easiest business venture in the world.
In their eagerness to begin to make more money they overlook
the need for adequate planning, feasibility study, all the skills
and the commitment necessary to be successful in general business;
because the picture they see is that of a get-rich-quick scheme.
This sad situation is mostly due to "hyping" by up lines or
sponsors who do not present their particular programs clearly and
truthfully to their prospects. A very harmful
approach that retards the industry's growth by creating lots of
disappointed people who have had unsuccessful stints with Network
marketing.
Network marketing is a business like any other business. If
you want to be successful in it, then you must treat it with
due diligence as you must any other business. Any new business
venture is like a new born baby, very fragile requiring utmost
care and nurturing, without which it dies. All the effort and
know-how necessary for success in any given business venture are
also required in network marketing; because it is a business like
any other business.
ROSY FALSE PICTURES
To present a false rosy picture in order to get people to signup
under you will bring you some down lines all right but, as is the
case with all false presentations, expectation will not match result
and your network will not grow, plus you will create a bad reputation
for the industry.
The right way is to present the facts about your business so that
only the genuinely interested will join. They are the ones who will
really do the business. Network marketing is about self duplication,
so tell the story as it is and be prepared to teach anyone who joins
you enthusiastically the rudiments of the business. Otherwise is
obvious failure.
Let me make you note this point: The so called professional sales
person with all his years of experience and skills might not fit in
well in your network marketing team. Why? He or she will most probably
not climb off their old habit of conventional selling methods and,
they are most likely not to be amenable to the coaching necessary for
a successful network marketing business.
A down line should be ready to learn the rudiments of the business.
If you are not open to learning then you are an obvious candidate for
failure in network marketing business. Only those who imbibe up line
coaching and instructions will know how to duplicate themselves.
Success is very far away if you try to reinvent the wheel. Most
network marketing failures are as a result not keeping to the laid down
principles.
Let me itemize the root causes of failures in network marketing
business below:
- Poor sponsor: Choice and inevitability of a particular
sponsor are usually the main causes of failure in network marketing
business. As has been said in the foregoing, who the sponsor is makes
or mars a new distributor's fortunes in a chosen network marketing
business. For instance, a sponsor who is not a good trainer will
surely impart no knowledge to his down line and a distributor without
adequate knowledge of how his company works should not expect success.
You have the right to look upper than your up line for support or
alternatively leave his team entirely and look for a sponsor that
will give you the support you need to succeed.
- Down line not willing to learn:
This person is usually unsuccessful in everything including learning.
He will not attend meetings and will go about his network marketing
business believing that he knows what he is doing while doing it very
wrong and achieving little or no result. Every new distributor should
see himself or herself as an apprentice and, therefore learn obediently
in order to acquire the knowledge necessary for the particular trade.
- Joining an unviable company:
The company and its products are key factors to your success in a network
marketing business. If the products do not meet the needs for which they
were produced, why do you think that it will sell? And if it will not sell
why involve yourself in selling it? A good distributor should be a 100%
user of his company's products so that he or she serves as an excellent
example of the company's claims regarding products' efficacy and thus be
able to enthusiastically share his or her favorable experiences of the
products with prospects. Now, let this be clear: Without the products,
the compensation plan falls on its face, for if you are unable to sell the
products because consumers do not buy how do you think the company can be
able to pay you? Therefore, it is advisable that you choose a renowned
company such as tianshi with tested, proven, approved consumable and
re-orderable products.

Distributor not willing to commit to network marketing principles:
As was stated earlier in this article, network marketing like any other
business deserves a level of commitment that is required to nature an
infant business into maturity. Though your up line is supposed to teach
you the rudiments of the business, you are your own boss in a network or
multi level marketing business. Your success or otherwise depends
basically on yourself; as you make your bed is how you will lie on it.
To succeed, you must be prepared to do all it calls for, including
advertising, traveling, education and motivation of down lines and
customers. Get it off your head that network marketing is a-get-rich-quick
business, it is not. You must work it to reap from it.
Do not begin to look for the yield until after one year of serious
work of building your network marketing business. Those who do otherwise
soon fail to realize their false hope.
Network marketing failures are those people who fail to cultivate
and employ plan, adequate principled work and perseverance as keys to
success in network marketing business.
