If you are in network marketing, you are in a ‘people’ business. The success or failure of your business depends very much on the quality of the people you have recruit. If you recruit the wrong type of people, they will end up destroying your organization rather then helping its grow. In this article, we are going to discuss the different types of people to avoid in network marketing.

The Snake

These group of people are the biggest poison in the networking industry. They will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to recruit people into their network. Even if it means using unethical methods just to get them.

Some of the tactics include high-pressure hard selling, friendship blackmail and even worse: line pinching.

Be very careful of these people when they are talking to YOUR prospects. They will appear friendly and helpful, sharing with your prospects and welcoming them to the team, and the next thing you know it, they wind up in THEIR downline.

They might even pick at your own existing downline and entice them to get into other MLMs that they are already a part of.

The Sweet-Talker

These people are great crowd pleasers and when you ask them to share testimonials or goal setting; they would be the first to give a rousing speech. But all they do is talk. No action.

They give all kinds of excuses to justify their results. You can’t depend on them but yet you can’t turn them away because they seem so sincere and has become one with the team.

They are energy sucker because they take up your attention, yet they are not doing anything to grow their organization.

The Sloth

These people will act just like a sloth. Doing nothing! They join MLM companies to purchase NOT a business opportunity, but they purchase ‘HOPE’.

Surprise! MLM requires work!

They will expect their uplines to do all the network building for them, they may even attend all the meetings, rallies, home parties, reading all the books and listening to the tapes.

But there is one thing that he or she won’t do.

He or she will NOT SEE THE PEOPLE. They won’t talk to anyone and all the ‘work’ they have done in the business amounts to nothing just because they are too lazy to see the people expecting their upline to do everything for them.

Good luck with all your future MLM success and I hope this article will make that road to success much shorter. And always remember, “I might as well learn from the mistakes of others, because I won’t live long enough to make them all myself!”
