Three Sure-Fire Ways To Fail In Your Network Marketing Opportunity
When it comes to promoting your network marketing opportunity, there's a lot of crap out there. How do you know what to believe? Everybody seems to have the answers, but they all contradict each other.
So, instead of another article telling you how to become a successful network marketer, I'm going to tell you how to fail miserably at your network marketing opportunity.
1. Tell all your friends and family about your business
This little tidbit is probably responsible for more network marketing failures than anything else. I'm serious. Not only will doing this kill your business, it also severely damages or destroys your relationships and puts a real dent in your self-esteem.
Unfortunately, almost all network marketing companies tell their distributors to do this before anything else. Is it any wonder why the failure rate in this industry is so high?
Still not convinced that this is an awesome way to completely annihilate your chances of success? Keep this in mind: Not ONE successful network marketer I've met (and I've met more than a few), markets to their friends and family.
2. Buy lots of leads
After you've exhausted your "warm market" (your family and friends by now should be ignoring your calls and dreading your visits), it's now time to buy leads. As if your monthly autoship hasn't strained your pocketbook enough.
It's almost impossible to have success with these kinds of leads because they're sold multiple times. Even your top-of-the-line, so-called "real-time" leads are typically very low quality.
Make it a point to call at least 10 of these leads every day. This should bump your self esteem down even lower than when Grandma said, "I don't need any of your crap!"
After four or five days of being hung up on, cussed out, and laughed at, it's time to move on to method number three.
3. The 3 Foot Rule
After working eight hours, go home and shower up. Then head out to the grocery store. Don't worry, you're not really going to buy anything. Just find somebody who's obviously alone, and find something interesting to say to them. Maybe you could pretend to be interested in something they're interested in.
If they're wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey, suddenly you're a huge Steelers fan. After the conversation picks up, find a way to work your company or products into the conversation.
An excellent way to do this is to, at the appropriate moment, ask the person what they do for a living. Once again, pretend to be really interested. Ask them relevant questions about their job. Make them really believe you're into what they're saying.
Then, almost always, they will at some point ask you what you do. This opens up the door for your presentation, right there in the dairy section. Imagine how your new acquaintance feels after he realizes he's been duped into a sales presentation, when all he wanted to do was pick up a gallon of milk and some cheese.
If this doesn't kill your business (and your sense of self-worth), nothing will.
So, if you're serious about failing in network marketing, I've just given you three proven ways to do that in record time. If failing is not in your plans, however, I'd suggest doing just the opposite of what I've been teaching you.
