So you think you are an experienced network marketers? Check out the following pitfalls and see if you have committed some of them.

1) Not keeping the business simple

Seasoned networkers might be in MLM for a long time and may even memorize the compensation plan much better than the company themselves!

You may understand the plan but a new prospect might get too confused if you give them information overload!

Normally, for a new distributor, things must be kept so simple for them that they will believe that anybody can do this business! If you bog them down with so many details, they will sit down and think too much.

Too much analysis will lead to paralysis of the mind.

Remember: A downline’s effectiveness is only half of yours. If what you are doing can not be easily duplicated, it does worse down the downline.

2) Trying to turn ducks into eagles

What do ducks do? They quack.

What do eagles do? They soar.

What happens when you try to make a duck soar? They fall flat on the ground and they quack louder!

Sad to say, not all downline are like eagles. We wish they are but many people spend too much time with ducks and try to turn them into eagles. They quack too much and everyone becomes ducks in the end (like quaking about the problems in the company, spreading negative all around).

Personally, I would rather have eagles in my team so all of us can soar together.

3) No half way (plane taking off)

There is no such thing earning a mediocre income in network marketing or MLM.

If someone says, I would be happy to earn a few hundred bucks a month, they will most likely give half hearted effort. They don’t achieve enough momentum to get to ANY tangible income. You either go all the way, or no way at all.

Allow me to illustrate.

If a plane takes off, it needs a certain momentum to take off. Lets say if we need about 150 miles per hour to take off, you must exceed that speed or else we are not flying anywhere. It won’t take off at 140, 145 or even 149!

Just like in network marketing, only by producing top-notch effort, will outstanding results (often better than their expectation) occur.

4) Stop being like a BEGGAR!

Don’t go, “Come out and listen to my opportunity, I’ll buy you a drink.” You spend 2 hours explaining to them your opportunity and in the end they didn’t join you. Why?

How do you prescribe medicine to their sickness? First EXPOSE their sickness, generate interest in your ‘medicine’ and HELP THEM by UNDERSTANDING their needs.
