Problems With MLM – #2 It's Got Nothing To Do With The Products Or Comp Plan!

Despite what you may have been told by your sponsor, your success in Network Marketing has very little to do with the quality of your company's products, or the payout levels of their compensation plan. There are thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of distributors out there offering exactly the same as you, so the only difference you can offer is ...

When I got started in my Network Marketing business I thought that I had found an amazing deal that very few people knew about. The company had great products, which I knew I could sell and I could see how I could make a decent income by encouraging others to sell the products too. It wasn't until a few months later that I found out my company had over 100,000 reps around the world who were also selling the products! I went from thinking that I had very little competition to the realisation that I was actually competing with quite a few people!

That didn't matter though, because my company had the best compensation plan in the industry. There were bonuses and incentives that I could start earning just as soon as I got a few key leaders into my business. I wouldn't need to sell that many products to make good money! Once again, I was mistaken! All of the bonuses and incentives went to the top producers and I would only get a portion of those once I joined the ranks of the Heavy Hitters!

The point is this: The only thing that makes your offering different from the other 100,000+ distributors is actually something that only you can offer. Your unique selling point is YOU! Your experiences, motives for starting a business, goals and aspirations are unique to you. This is what people who choose to follow you want to know about and this is what will propel you forward in your business. If you spend all of your time pitching and telling people how fantastic your products and compensation plan are then you will look like a sales person with no personality! Would you want to follow someone like that?

You need to be able to inspire people. Be open and honest and share more of yourself with the people you speak to, so that they can see your passion and enthusiasm. Once people know that you are passionate about what you do, because you know you are working toward your dreams, they will be queuing up to ask you what you are working on! People will NEED to find out what you know and they don't! That's when prospecting becomes fun, rather than being a chore!
