Secrets To MLM Marketing

The first network marketing company that I got started with back in 2004 didn’t like to consider themselves as part of the MLM community.  They liked to think they were in direct sales.  It didn’t really matter to me what they called themselves.  I was hooked from the moment I started to use the product. 

I have to tell you that the product came to me at exactly the right time for me.  After going through a divorce, being fired, and a few other things that were being thrown at me, I was ready to end it all.  Thanks to my very first network marketing company’s product I survived.  It actually changed my life or should I say that I was able to change my life using the techniques taught in this product.

I Became A Full-Time Network Marketer

It was because of my experiences that I decided to be a full-time network marketer.  I attended every training class held by my network marketing company and I did everything that they taught me to do.  I followed (rather blindly) everything the leaders of my company said to do.  I did it all: I pestered my friends and family, I did the 3-foot rule, I passed out flyers and business cards, I called so many opportunity seeking leads that I practically wore out the numbers on my phone and I also attending every company event that they had.

Mixed Results

My results after a year were mixed.  I still loved the product and believed that everyone should have it and use it.  I met some amazing people at my network marketing company’s events and I still am in contact with many of them.  I was also in big debt.  I knew that it would take money to make money and I knew that if I wanted to grow a good sized home based business so that I could enjoy residual income, I would have to spent some money and some time until it happened.  Well after a year, I had spent more than twenty-five thousand dollars and a year doing what I was told and I hadn’t made ONE RED CENT!

I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why my business wasn’t growing.  My network marketing company said that if I just kept doing what they said to do, I would be able to make money from home. 

I Took A Step Back

I finally took a step back and decided that I wasn’t going to call one more opportunity seeker or hand out one more flyer until I figured out if those techniques were working for anyone else.  What I discovered was a little shocking.  All of the people that I spoke with that used these same techniques were getting the same results that I was. 

At this point I asked myself – why was my company teaching these marketing techniques, if they gave such poor results.  Here is what I found out:  Most if not all network marketing companies know that if you join the business, you will probably sign up two new people before you quit working your business.  Your MLM company also knows that even if you quit working your business, there is a 16%  chance that you will continue to use the product or service.

So from a network marketing company’s point of view their business will continue to grow using the same old tired strategies but more than likely your business will not get anywhere.

Finally I Got Some Real Answers

One of things that really ticked me off about my upline is that whenever I had a question, they would either not be available to answer or there answer would be for me to just dial more leads.  It wasn’t until I found The Dream Team that I finally got some real answers. 

The Dream Team was the answer to all of the questions that I had been asking from the very beginning.  If you really want your home based business to grow, then you have to stop doing what your upline tells you to do and start treating your home based business like it’s a real business.  Let’s face it, there were a lot of things that I did just because my upline told me to do them.  If after I tried their method, and had a negative result, it would be really stupid to continue to do the same thing and expect a different result.

Anyway, I am glad that I finally have found The Dream Team.  They saved me from having to give up my dream of working from home.  I hope this article has helped you to realize that if your business isn’t growing at the speed that you would like, it may not be your fault.  Of course if you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting.  So stop doing the same thing, expecting a different result.  Try something different.
