“Network Marketing” (Multi-Level Marketing or Affiliate Marketing) is a billion dollar industry that is gaining popularity. The most successful 3-5% attract the majority of this income, while nearly 96% of network marketers fail. The “secrets to success” have remained elusive to the majority of people.
Some have offered to tell consumers the “inside information” on how to be successful. Rarely, does this advice pan out. Most of it is already public knowledge and unlikely to turn a salesman into a marketing expert.
The real reason 96% of network marketers fail is quite complex. Network marketing is not for everyone. It requires an entrepreneurial spirit of hard work, sales acumen and a unique skills set.
This micro-franchising opportunity makes the marketer a business owner; skills for running a business are necessary. Some consider the initial network marketing “sign-up fees” to be a very low cost of entry, given the potential for exceptional earnings. Network marketing experts know that more financial investment is necessary.
Network marketing requires continual engagement in “income-producing work”. “Get Rich Quick” promises are plentiful, but building up a successful network marketing business takes time.
Network marketers need to be good at reading potential clients and recruits. They need to be well-versed in sales acumen, not appearing to be desperate.
Using time efficiently in acquiring good information and knowledge, is a skill that takes time to develop.
Developing a flow of consistent quality prospects is essential. Recruitment is only one arm of network marketing; maintaining customer loyalty on the back end, is also important.
Most internet network marketing techniques – like attracting potential prospects via “target marketing” – require mentoring and training before they can be successful.
The most skilled 3-5% dominate this network marketing field, because they have developed the skills to succeed. They have reached this upper echelon by following the right marketing methods.
Serious network marketers need to hear “straight talk” from a successful network marketer. Only industry leaders can get you to the top 3-5% success rate, by teaching you the “well kept secrets of success”.
