It’s Easy to Be Successful in Network Marketing - Be a Leader

Why is it that when 500 distributors are invited to attend a three-hour company training workshop, only 50 attend? Where are the other 450?

They feel that investing time in training and working their network marketing business interferes with their daily cable television schedule.

When their small bonus checks arrive at the end of the month, they say: "The business doesn’t work, the checks are too small."

Well, they are partially right. The business doesn’t work — they have to do the work. Ouch! That’s really inconvenient.

There are three types of people in network marketing:

1. Those who joined because they love the products.

2. Those who want to receive big bonus checks, but not do any work.

3. Those who want to earn a bonus check.

Type 3, those who want to earn a bonus check, represent only a small percentage of all network marketers. Most network marketers will give great lip service to the idea that they want to earn bonus checks, but their actions speak louder than words. They say. . .

I can’t go to that opportunity meeting because the season premiere of "24" is on that night!

I won’t go to that opportunity meetings because I attended one once before and it was a waste of my time, I didn't learn anything.

I can't make phone calls, what if the prospect says no?!

I wish the company would make it easier for me by lowering prices or doing my retailing for me.

I can't make up a prospecting list because I really don't think anyone i know would be interested.

I wish beer were served at the training meetings!

The great part about networking is that 95% of all network marketers fall into product users and people who wish for bonus checks.

That means there is little or no competition for dedicated leaders who want to earn their way in this great business. That’s why it is so easy to work and earn large bonus checks in network marketing — there’s no competition at the top!

Distributors and prospects are naturally attracted to leaders who lead by example. Good network marketing leaders don’t have to prospect for new distributors — distributor prospects come to them.

You’ll always hear the non-working network marketing distributors say:
“How is it that my upline leader gets all the good prospects?”

Because prospects look for leaders — not non-workers.

Can you imagine a prospect saying:
“I think I’ll find a sponsor who whines, complains, and doesn’t work the business.”

No way. Good prospects look for energetic, enthusiastic, dedicated, working sponsors.

So, if you want to work where you’ll encounter little competition, start at the top. Be a leader
