MLM How-To - Does Network Marketing Make You Loopy?

August 06, 2008 By: admin Category: Work From Home

True story #1: I was in an ill-fated MLM venture about two years ago. One of my former upline leaders called me the other day with another fabulous opportunity. I could be in my own travel business for just a few hundred dollars, plus about 50 bucks a month. Company pays commissions mostly on these fees, and you only make pennies on the actual booking of travel services (Hey, whats that ticking sound? Is something burning?).

Anyway, nice lady, but I wouldnt join that thing in a million years. Told her so nicely, tried to let her down easy. She didnt hear a word I said. She had 101 reasons why I should jump in anyway, mainly because SHE loved it.

I smiled and shook my head, still turning her down. Im not looking for an opportunity. She wants to stay in touch with me, because thats what youre supposed to do when somebody turns you down, right? So I say OK, and goodbye.

True story #2: Last night, phone rings. Someone wants to talk to me about my business. Great! Howd you get my number? I ask. Why, thats one of the tricks Ill show you when you get on this conference call! He dropped the name of a very big guru in the industry who has admittedly never built a MLM downline, but getting on his call is gonna make me rich! I declined, so this idiot says to me, OK, its your money!

Yes. It is. And thats how Im gonna keep it.

At least the first lady was speaking from her heart. The second guy was reading from a script! Poor schmuck was so let down when I refused, I could hear it in his voice. I could feel it. His system isnt working. Hes disappointed.

Maybe one day these people will learn. You cant be successful persuading people who dont want to be persuaded. They know what youre offering, or they dont. They care, or they dont care. If they dont, theres nothing else you can do but keep it moving. Make it easy on yourself--- find the ones who care!
