Success In Mlm – 3 Mistakes Avoided By The Top Producers

Posted by admin on March 11, 2010

Whenever I produce my network marketing success training lessons, I always tell my apprentices to make structured commitments and goals by organizing their daily, weekly, and monthly profits producing activities, and make sure to track EVERYTHING.

One of my acquaintances on Facebook asked me to assist them to identify why their best efforts seem to be producing very little results in MLM. He was quite frustrated and ready to throw in the towel by the time he reached out to me.

He is new to the network marketing industry, and felt as though he was doing everything that he was told to do to get ahead. He thought that either he was being lied to by his support team (or he wasn’t), or he simply wasn’t cut out for this network marketing stuff (also not true).

So, in the course of our exchange, I was able to determine exactly what was wrong with his efforts, and after I identified where his “holes” were, he was overjoyed to find out that all he had to do was make a few adjustments to his activities and his mental state of mind.

Take a look at these 3 things that I found that he was doing wrong and make sure that you don’t fall into these pitfalls:

1. Overstated expectations of success – he felt that he would be an “overnight sensation” because he’s heard testimonies of how people make tons of revenue in what seems like a very short period of time. This is NOT typical of ANY business, contrary to all the hype. Building a successful MLM business is like planting a seed in the dirt; you can’t plant the seed and then stand over it demanding that it grow. It has to take root, and you have to provide the food and care to make sure it doesn’t die in the ground. It’s not productive to have the get-rich-quick thought process; it takes TIME to build a successful company, and there’s nothing you can do about that but cultivate patience and the right habits.

2. Sporadic activity – he had not developed a calendar of planned activities for his MLM business success. He just did whatever he could with whatever extra time he could come up with. That’s totally unprofessional. Developing “office hours” is pivotal to building consistency, and that can’t be taken lightly. He planted the “seed,” now he needed to

structure a regularly scheduled “watering.” If over the course of a week you only have 7-10 hours available, that needs to be a definite, targeted, pre-arranged, and non-negotiable time towards growing your business. Don’t make excuses because, if this were your occupation, you wouldn’t make excuses; or you would be jobless. Clock in, do what you have to do, and punch out.

3. No tracking – he wasn’t keeping track on phone calls, meetings, emails, etc. No enterprise that is interested in genuine sustainable success makes this mistake. Keeping “stats” is central to being able to identify where your strengths and weaknesses are. Most business owners haven’t figured out what their ratios are. Take a peak at this following ratio: 194:13. This is my stat for leads:conversions over the last 30 days. I know that for ever 14 leads I produce through my marketing, I’ll convert 1 to a business partner. My goal is to improve my stats by keeping track of everything from articles, emails, videos, phone calls, etc. It doesn’t have to be a mystery as to what it takes to get your enterprise to the next level. “Keeping score” is what you need in order to find out.

Just because you’re growing your network marketing company part-time doesn’t mean that you’re excused from being a professional. Take a second look at your drive to make sure that you’re not tricking yourself and organize yourself for success.
