What causes "overnight success" ?

Have you ever started a job or gone into a new profession without being trained? Did you go down to your local discount store and order a kit to be a lawyer, a doctor, or an engineer? Of course not - to enter those professions, you need specialized knowledge.

What about when you started a job? Did you just walk in off the street and tell them you knew all there was to know about the job and no training would be necessary? I don't think so. According to most Fortune 500 companies, it takes 6 months of being on the job before the company starts to make any money from an employee. Did you read that closely 6 months?

Are you ready for a multi level marketing business opportunity.

     So you've seen the plan for another multi level marketing business opportunity.  The plan looks solid and you've been assured that it's easy, and you'll make a boat load of money.  All you have to do is pay the signup fee, schedule your autoship and you're off and running with your list of friends and family.  Training is every Tuesday where you'll learn the intricacies of the compensation plan and the benefits of the product.  How could you fail?

Great Training for Anyone in Network Marketing.

If you do nothing else read this book. I just finished reading "Success in 10 Steps", by Michael Dlouhy. Now before you say it's a scam, I don't just throw out junk information, never have. Most Network Marketers get into the business and they are trained to be salesmen/women of the product, and try to convince people that the compensation is great and you'll retire in 3 months. It's all Crap. We are not selling a product or a business we are selling ourselves and what we bring to the table. Man it drives me nuts when people throw their opportunity at me without even introducing themselves at least. Here's a little secret:

1. ALL NETWORK MARKETING COMPANIES ARE GOING TO MAKE A LOT OF RICH PEOPLE.

2. ALL OF THE PRODUCTS ARE GOOD, IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.

3. ALL THE COMPENSATION PLANS ARE GREAT, IF YOU WORK THE BUSINESS.

What people are really concerned about is will you be there to help them, will you be a mentor.

Ninety Nine percent of all Network Marketing companies will sign you up and give you a crappy power point and a link to spend thousands on other advertising material. They then proceed to "Train" you (Which consists of the compensation plan, and maybe some information on the product). That is not what people care about, or at least it's not on the top of their list. What were you taught about Networking or Marketing from your company that was free. If it wasn't free it's just another way for them to juice you for money. If they're really concerned about your success it will be free or dirt cheap.

People want to know that you will be there and that you know what you are talking about. Be a mentor and your signup's will increase and your retention will sky rocket. I encourage you to read this book. It's free and it will really open your eyes.
