Having read some posts, I found out that many of
the network marketers are deploying wrong tactics of approach. What
a network marketing company has in value is not how much an
individual can earn per month, neither is it their products. What's
so valuable is their Education.
A good network marketing company will stress on their education
system compared to any other thing else. Because apart from
earning money, network marketing is a business for people who
like helping other people.
Being a network marketer myself, I found that many of the new
network marketers are injected with a corrupted mindset of network
marketing. Instead of uplines teaching them how to face their
fears, overcome and grow from it, new network marketers are
educated in the traditional business way.
In network marketing, people are encouraged to try, to fail and
to learn from their mistakes and grow. The current trend is so
money orientated that the core values of network marketing have
since been forgotten.
Nowadays, most uplines are so concerned with their own success
that they want their downlines to push sales, which I believe is a
total wrong mindset. In network marketing, it is often heard
and said that the first 3 years in this industry is the
hardest to earn because this 3 years is used to train,
educate and develop ourselves. However, what I see now is new
network marketers forced to push sales. When their sales are not
good, they get a good lashing from their uplines. This was what
happened to a friend who recently joined a network marketing
company.
No doubt sales is the number 1 skill in the world of business,
but not when your upline is forcing you to sell so that he can
succeed.
For those who had read "The Business School for people who like
helping people" by Mr. Robert Kiyosaki, you'd understand what I
mean.
Stressing on how much you can earn in a month is only a
possibility. Yes, it is possible to earn a 5 digit income per month
in network marketing and no doubt about that. However I will stress
again that it is only a possibility because not everyone who enter
this industry can make that amount of money.
Another thing to add is that network marketing belongs to the
Business quadrant in the Cashflow Quadrant, for the many who
know the ESBI. We are training to become entrepreneurs in network
marketing, not some gangsters. I've seen in posts some network
marketers who are no different from gangsters. With
a vulgar and offensive attitude, how can one learn
to do business?
Humans are made to err, and to admit and grow from mistakes
is what's important. Not putting your pride up front and get all
offensive and vulgar to protect your companies.
In closing, network marketing is an industry for people who
genuinely like to help others, not an industry for people who just
want to earn a lot of money in a month. Some people are just
bounded to be in the rat race of life because they are not willing
to learn and let their pride blind them. That's why I must say
network marketing is not for each and everyone, depending on each
individual. Otherwise, 95% of the world will not be in the E and S
quadrant.
I have seen the goodness and badness of network marketing but I
chose network marketing as my path in life because it has really
changed me but yet disappointed to see the many wrongs network
marketers have committed and not willing to humby accept their
mistakes.
Let me state,I come in peace. I will not disclose any names of
the network marketing companies I belong to, been to or companies I
don't like to avoid poisoning the minds of fellow network
marketers. I am here just to point out the wrongs I see in the
world of network marketing.
I apologize for this lengthy post and I do not care for any
flames because I have said what I wanted to say and I hope fellow
network marketers can learn from their mistakes.
