Why do some people give up? – Part 1

by Tristram Lodge on Nov.23, 2009, under MLM Mindset

Do you ever really stop and think why someone you sponsored a few months ago suddenly quits. One reason could be that they just didn’t have the drive to achieve there dreams. Maybe it’s just easier for them to find a job and the road to success is to difficult so they just give up.

There is another reason why some people quit. Now this is not everyone as we all know most give up because they simple can not be bothered. But this small group of people I’m talking about give up because they simple run out of money. Now I truly believe that this is a very poor excuse but non the less it happens. I mean if you are that determined, that focused surely you find a way to generate money to keep you going until you start seeing the fruits of your labour.

Most people have been told that they need to use the small profits they make in there early days to invest back into there business. They are told to go out and buy leads (please do not do this)! Or buy expensive advertising, make up flyers and post them through people letter boxes or stick them on cars.

The results they get are very poor; I know I use to do this. I can tell you that for every 100 houses that I put a leaflet through 1 person would hit my website, just to look around. Out of that 1 in 1000 households would request some information. Now working on the fact that 1 in 10 that request information will sign up I had to do 10,000 houses before I would get a sign up. Now bearing in mind that 90% of people give up, I needed to 100,000 houses to get a success. Great!

Fortunately there is another way. A way that uses true marketing and targets the people you want to have in your business. No more post flyers, holding home parties or paying for expensive advertising.

Now who are the best people to work with in your business? Well people who are or have been involved with MLM. Let me explain. If you opened a restaurant, who would you want working in the kitchen, your best friend because they are interested in earn an extra income or a qualified chef who knows exactly what they are doing. I know who I’d want.

You may now be thinking if they are already involved with MLM why would they want to join my business? Well to be honest they don’t, why because they want to know what you can do to help solve one of there problems. Now this is great because it’s more than likely at some point in the past or even now you have been struggling with the same problems as they are.

To be honest they don’t give a monkey’s about your business, or how wonderful your market plan is or that you have the best vitamins out there. Why? because they want there own business to take off. So what can you do to help them. Simple offer them a solution to there problem. Now that may be recruitment, or business building whatever just offer them a solution. 

By offering them a solution to a problem they will then see you in a different light. You’re not someone who only cares about getting them to join your business but someone who cares about them. To many times people jump in and start going on about there opportunity without find out anything about the person they are talking to.  God gave you two ears and one month so please use them in those proportions.

OK so how do you offer a solution to some of the problems other networkers face. Well it’s called a Funded Proposal System and I’m going to tell how they work very soon. What I will tell you is that even if they don’t join your business you still get paid! For a sneak preview hop over to http://www.mlmhintsandtips.com/
