Introducing Network Marketing Facts hindering your success. If you have been in network marketing for any amount of time, you have probably heard of statements like: “Rejection is part of the game. You must swallow hard and move on. That is what you have to go through if you want to be successful in network marketing. You have to live with it”.
Right? Wrong!
Do you sometimes fear to pick up the phone and call prospects? Is your upline telling you to endure? Are you wondering how long this stuff will go on? No wonder, 97% of the network marketers who get started fail.
I have good news for you. You can eliminate rejection permanently from your network marketing business. That is a network marketing fact even Guru’s don’t know. Have you ever wondered: Why are network marketers rejected and yet they are trying to help? “I am not interested” is the response or they hung the phone on you. You don’t have to endure such stuff.
Here are six critical Network marketing Facts you must know if you want to eliminate rejection:
Stop soliciting people who never asked to be solicited. You must put systems in place which keep funneling pre-qualified prospects into your pipeline. This is a hard network marketing fact most uplines are afraid to tell their distributors. Not everyone is your prospect. You must present your opportunity to those who have expressed some kind of interest in it. Have a genuine desire to help your prospects. Don’t think about closing the sale before the call. Just think about your prospect and how you can help them meet their needs. Start by getting information other than giving it. This is where most network marketers drop the bomb. You start with your sales pitch… How your products are great, how your company is second to none, how much you have a killer compensation plan. Here is a network marketing fact: “All these things don’t matter so much”. Using this strategy will kill your business. That is why they will raise objections to everything you are saying. You must ask questions to see if what you have to offer is of any value to them. People buy things for their own reasons not yours. Assure your prospects that it is okay to say no if they don’t like what you are offering. And, don’t just say it. Mean what you are saying. Statements like, “Well I have something but I don’t know if it is a fit for you”. This will take the sales pressure from you. No one likes being pressured. Listen Listen and Listen. It is okay to have silence interludes. Unfortunately, most network marketers have been taught to overcome objections. This is totally wrong. Here is a network marketing fact, if you listen very carefully, you will never ever suffer from rejection again. Your prospects will see that you are truly interested in them and they will do business with you. Respect your clients and their decisions. This is very hard for most of network marketers. If your prospect says no, they mean it. At this time, you must ask them why and probably give them more information if they want to understand something. And, as a true professional, you should know when to move away from the sale.
When you get these network marketing facts, you will start enjoying the beauty of network marketing. You will always look forward to making the next call.
Again, you don’t have to suffer rejection. Your life is too precious to waste like that. If you take these facts at heart, if you start implementing them, you will wonder how you managed without them.

Network Marketing Facts – Six Tips to Permanently Eliminate Rejection
December 28th, 2009Network Marketing Success – 3 Tips to Stay Focused
December 28th, 2009
There’s been a booming trend lately with so-called internet marketing “gurus”: Big ticket seminars and product launches.
You know the kind.
“Starting in two weeks, you only have three days to pony up $10k for my exclusive product launch, and after that it’s too late to ever learn all the secrets to exploding your income online.”
Then, each day your in-box is pounded with JV/partner/affiliate promotions for the same launch:
“Use my link and I’ll give you an extra bonus”
“Oooh! Oooh! Pick me, and I’ll give you one of my products FREE!”
“No wait! Pick ME and I’ll give you my shirt, my first born, a new car, and a bunch of other stuff that’s really cool I swear.”
What we have here is a classic example of finding a niche and filling it. Only in this case, the niche is people with “shiny object syndrome”.
We get so caught up in trying to grow our business using the latest internet marketing tactics that we float from one new product to another, without ever fully implementing the strategies we learned in the last product we purchased.
We’re stuck on having “the latest and greatest” so that we’re not left out in the cold. Heaven forbid we might miss out on a couple of dollars, when in reality, we’re probably “dropping dollars to pick up dimes” as my momma would say.
“Mad Guru” disease is sweeping the Internet. These ultra pricey products and events are causing most of us to pull our hair out! Why are they so pricey? Many times, it’s because HALF (or more) of the ticket price is being paid out in commissions to affiliates!
And as long as the gurus are raking in the cash, they’ll keep serving the market. Why not? It’s lucrative for everyone who owns a “company store” – selling picks and shovels to the internet and network marketing miners.
Don’t get me wrong. There’s a lot to be learned here. As a Network Marketer, I came online to grow my business using tools and strategies I learned from the Internet. I have created a successful niche and career for myself selling those same picks and shovels to network marketing miners.
You’ve heard it said before “sell the dream, not the deal.” And on it goes in the wild wild Web.
It really got me to thinking about my customers, and what I was sending them. Was I over promoting and under-delivering? I serve a network marketing community where every penny (and second) is precious. To waste the time (or money) of a stay-at-home soccer mom of four that’s trying to keep “the ends” together, juggle multiple family schedules, and have a little free time for her family is ludicrous!
When I went away for four days and came home to over 1400 unread messages in my inbox, it hit me.
The inordinate amount of time I was WASTING reading the same jv promotion over and over was insane: sometimes 2 or 3 emails from the same person in one day!
Frankly, I would have trouble sleeping at night if I pulled these same kinds of shenanigans. Call me nuts, but I’d feel guilty sending out that much email to my list!
It’s painful and shameful to admit, but I’m a recovering “shine-ob-ite” myself. I think I was subscribed to something like 40 different mailing lists – probably more, but I lost count. So, I got VERY selective. My time is more valuable to me now.
But more importantly, it taught me a lesson. As I was culling my in-box that day, I counted MAYBE 20 value added messages that weren’t blatant affiliate/jv promotions. Those subscriptions, I kept. The rest went bye bye.
I’m not ANTI-affiliate marketing. I’m not Anti-Internet Marketing. I’m not even ANTI-guru. I participate in affiliate programs, I sell products and offers to my list. But I also believe in providing substantial value for the return on investment.
The secret is no secret. Build relationships, be friendly, and stop selling everything that isn’t nailed down to your list.
To that end, here are 3 tips to keep you on track with your online network marketing prospecting:
Focus. Mark Joyner talks about that. See your target. Stay focused on your target without distraction, and hit it until you hit it. It may mean picking one of the programs you’ve already purchased, implementing it, and seeing it through to completion. It may mean unsubscribing from all the newsletters, mailing lists and marketing propaganda that are distracting you from hitting our goal. Whatever it takes, if success is to be yours, find one program, dedicate some time to it, and see it through until you get the results you want – or until you’re convinced you need something else to get you there. Stop living in fear. Over 80% of our decision making is motivated out of fear. This was a hard lesson for me to learn. I was constantly reading anything and everything I could to grow my business. The problem was, I wasn’t implementing anything, and couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t successful. Afraid I was missing something, I kept buying, reading and researching without implementing – so afraid that I’d miss out on the next big thing that was SURE to catapult my business. So step out of fear. Know that you have all the tools you need to be successful (because all you really need is you, anyway), and get started. Sure, there are things that will make you more efficient, but when you’re getting started, success is more important than efficiency – especially if you don’t have the money to spend. Be Courageous. Sounds simple, but it’s not easy. You can’t do it without focus and turning away from fear. Courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway, according to the card a friend bought for me. Courage is stepping out in faith, beyond where the fear lies – maybe even in the middle of where the fear lies with the focus on a singular goal that you will not be dissuaded from – regardless of naysayers and life’s little happenstances. Once you’ve achieved steps one and two, step three reveals itself, tests you, and propels you toward greatness.
Look at your business, your down line and your goals. Where do you want to be? What are “those voices” saying to you that are paralyzing you in fear? What can you do to drown out the noise, take the first step, and create laser-like focus on your objective?Therein lies the answer to ultimate success.
