MLM - How To Forget What You Are Told And Do It Right - Here Is The Key.

Written by Alan Hill

We have all tried it - been infected with other peoples enthusiasm and decided to join an MLM or Network Marketing business. Plenty of money changed hands (out of mine and into others) and I embarked on a crusade of bombarding my friends and family.

Some time after, we might find that we have exhausted the contents of our address books and though some had joined, most had not and eventually the whole thing just dwindled to a distant memory. Meanwhile we get on with our real job and move on.

The main lesson I took from this myself, was that MLM does not work. After a period of time my friends came back and things were forgotten.

Does this sound familiar to you? I know that I am not the only one to go through this experience. It seems that over 96% of all MLM newbies have a very similar experience.

This happened to me - but over the years I became involved in other businesses and whilst these where marginally successful, unbeknown to me, my perspective changed. I was now seeing things through the eyes of an entrepreneur. When I was then offered another opportunity with an MLM business, I found myself looking at it differently than the last time.

This time I studied why 96% of MLM newbies failed and why only 1% became millionaires. After conducting my investigation, I came to some very interesting conclusions.

I asked myself, what is the difference in approach to the way most people who enter MLM attack their business compared with the way a successful business person in a non MLM business attacks theirs.

I realised that a true business person approaches a business from a certain angle. They fully research their market, they invest in obtaining the correct information and then they invest further in marketing, staffing, premises etc and they pay for accountants, solicitors or lawyers and bookkeepers. One of the key areas here is marketing - or 'how are they going to get a decent level of customers'.

Next I looked at MLM newbies - these people are usually ex or existing employees who have no knowledge or understanding about how a business should be run and so they invest in the wrong things. Some buy tons of product believing that their business is about selling as much of it as possible.

This brings me on to the next point that I would like to make - concentrating on the product. I found by studying how successful MLM business people worked, that this is the number one mistake made by MLM newbies. They get seduced into how good the vitamin supplement or brass cleaner is and they fail to realise where their key earnings potential is.

This was now getting exciting - I started to feel that I was onto something after all of this studying and that I was about to lift the lid on what the key components were to running a successful MLM business.

So, here is the MLM newbie, he has worked hard by contacting all of those people they know - some have joined and others are hiding behind the couch (sound familiar ?). This persons downline is stuffed with people who have done the same and whilst this will generate a small income, it does not generate enough to even remain qualified as an agent yourself.

The only thing that can be done is to go out and bore some people who you have not met yet - buy some leads. So more money out and our MLM newbie slogs away trying to convert a whole pile of people - long hard work and maybe 2% of the list joins the newbie. The end result, you just have more people just like the others who are going no-where.

When I studied how the top 1% work, I realised that they do it much differently. They invest into their business by obtaining the right information. Most of that data costs money because it is valuable and it has usually been produced by the millionaires who were in this 1%.

So, I took this action by investing in my own knowledge in this area which I considered was necessary for my success. I downloaded articles, books, reports and watched DVDs which were relevant to my subject and after a while I realized that I had found the seam of gold - this I was sure was what I needed.

After studying this simple system, I could see that the way to approach MLM was to bring in other good MLM people who were facing the same problem that I had been. These businesspeople were who I wanted to join me in my MLM venture - but they already had their own MLM opportunity - so how was I going to manage this?

Thank goodness that I had accidentally stumbled upon a great information resource which was low cost and which contained the guidance that I was seeking. It became clear to me that leadership and direction was what I needed to offer to me team if I was going to copy the great MLM entrepreneurs. I begin to understand that the only way to get these existing MLM people to follow me was to lay down a clear path which would help them succeed themselves. I would stop being the Hunter and become the Hunted.

So that is it in a nutshell - if you want to be successful in an MLM business you have to think outside the box. You have to be willing to invest in the right areas and in building a system which will attract the right people to you. The person who I had studied whilst investigating this area was one remarkable MLM businessman. He had used the principles that I had read about and he had built one of the largest and most successful MLM downlines in history.

I am now in the process of building a strong team in my opportunity. I do not concentrate on the opportunity itself until the rest has been put into place. When a new person contacts me - I actually vet them first. I do not want to waste my valuable time with someone who will not follow my system fully - I am just not interested in doing this any longer.

In my opinion, if one shows their downline true leadership and direction, then they will follow you and many others will be attracted to you because of this. If I come across someone who does not like my approach, then that is not a problem - they need me more than I need them so they can go and work with someone they like. I only want to work with people who are determined to succeed and to work smart in way that will benefit us both.

Thank you for reading my article and I hope that it has helped you to understand the secret recipe for success in an MLM business.
