Entrepreneurs and Small Business Articles, News and Information
Author: Victoria OshinowoIn the short time I've spent in MLM, I discovered that the greater number of people that did not succeed in it now tag the system as fraudulent and bad.
I've carefully observed this trend and I suggest these tips for anyone who wants to get into MLM.
1)Be true to yourself.
Honestly identify your strengths and weaknesses, and learn how to use your strengths to your advantage while you take personal development lessons to work on your weaknesses. If you are a natural at starting conversations with strangers but you have poor marketing skills, it would do you a lot of good to take lessons in marketing so you can easily let your prospects in on your opportunity without scaring them.
2)Identify your interest.
It's always best to deal in areas that interest and excite you. When you have a natural obsession for something, that obsession will most likely see you through the tough times. If you're a computer freak it would be better you join a company that markets computer peripherals rather than one that markets jewelry or nutritionals.
3)Research the company.
Whatever company you decide to join, make sure you carry out a thorough research on its credibility and its past ratings. Check out the people who are behind the scenes running the company you're thinking about joining. Your future may depend on their past.
4)Get yourself mentors.
If you have a very supportive sponsor then you don't have a problem, but if not, look for people in your upline you admire who will be patient enough to teach and encourage you regularly.
Mentors help you avoid reinventing the wheel by telling you what works and what doesn't.
5)Treat your business like it is.
Let's face it, thousands of people join MLM because of the freedom it brings but if you were to set up your own company, you would need to devote time and effort to make it a success. The only way to succeed in MLM is to give it the devotion, time, and effort it requires. Make your mlm career your business and not your hobby. Soon you will reap the fruits.
6)Believe in yourself.
You will not recruit a single person into you team if your prospects do not see you believing in yourself. You were created to be a success and the only person that can stop you is you. Take hold of the power of positive confession and nothing will hold you down.
7) Dare to dream.
Dreams are the seeds upon which great endeavours are built. The big wigs of today started with great ideas and visions.
