Your Lack Of Success Is Not Your Fault

Have you done all that your upline told you to do and the results are still the same? Are you purchasing the leads, making the cold calls, dialing a hundred calls a day, running ads in the classified with minimum return? My guess is nothing seems to work and now you feel like a failure in this business call Network Marketing.

Chances are you got into network marketing to make money not lose money, right? I'm here to tell you my friend, that your lack of success is not your fault. Yes, you are reading that right. It is not your fault, the cards were stacked against you and here's why. Let's take a look at the business model to see what behavior it drives in the field.

More likely than not, it is your company's business model that's causing your problem not you. First and foremost let us understand that in network marketing the only place money is made is from the compensation plan. This holds true for both distributors and the company. So when you see a company with huge multi-million dollar home office buildings that they are bragging about on their website, you better know that's millions from the compensation plan which will never get put back.

Now think about all the expense required to operate and maintain a building of that magnitude each month. Don't forget to calculate the cost of employing people to work there along with benefits they require. Who do you think is paying for all those luxuries? This is whats called a high overhead business model and it affects your ability to build your business.

Companies with such a business model have no choice but to raise up the price on their products at this point. Therefore making it difficult for you as the distributor to market these products, because nobody's buying products that cost three times as much as the makers of the same exact product. So now you are forced to spend all your time trying to recruit people into your business.

Money can be made in recruiting, if you are in the 8 percent that's successful at it. But here's the thing. Recruiting is not duplicatable because 92 percent of the population is sales resistant and hate to be sold. The few that you're lucky enough to recruit in won't stick because they are not able to get anyone to join. You won't find any upline help because everyone is working hard at recruit, recruit, recruiting of people. The only thing left to do now is buy your own expensive products just so you meet your distributor qualifications. No money is made from retailing because of the high overhead, which is being paid for from the compensation plan, that is taking money from you.

The only solution to this problem is to educate yourself on compensation plans. Search out companies before you join the to see if they are indeed distributor friendly. Study to see if they drive the behavior of retailing products. Make sure they have low overhead. It really comes down to the reading and understanding of policies and procedures. Discover a safe place where free help in educating people is offered. A place where you will learn how to think not what to think. You will get the skills and training in how to look for a 5 pillars company and lots more. A place where pride is taken in helping others simply to reap the reward of seeing and hearing the relief of others knowing that the lack of success genuinely is not their fault. Now that's priceless.
