Beat The Odds Ezine

Let's be brutally frank here. I'm talking to you! Well,
maybe not you, but then certainly someone in your downline.
I'm talking to the aspiring online marketers that can't
figure out why they haven't made any money yet.
Realize this! Not everyone is going to grasp what it is
you're trying to tell them. No matter how hard you try
you can't get inside their head and know what pre-conceived
notions they have that are standing in their way of
duplicating and growing their businesses. Their problem may
be a poor self image, ot they're too shy to talk to people,
or just not knowledgeable in what it takes to grow a business.
In some instances it may be a lack of computer skills. Other
times you will hear a resistance to doing the necessary
postings as it generates too many emails, which they wrongly
refer to as spam, (when in fact it may be an automated response
to their posting to someone's service).
Oftentimes it is the unwillingness to spend any money. The
simple fact of the matter is somebody has to put some money
in before anyone can take money out. If you think that you
are going to sign up free and then get other people to spend
money on products or services that you were unwilling to
purchase, (sigh, ) you just ain't gonna make it.
Failure to do effective, timely follow ups with an upline
leader also neutralizes the results of their marketing efforts.
There is, it seems, a natural tendency among some, to come
into a program, (having been told the requirements to put
forth some effort, time and money), and then fail to follow
the program.
These individuals seem to read into the instructions only
what they want to hear. And usually what they want to hear
is how fast they can make money, and lots of it.
While we know it is possible to make a lot of money fast,
(if you know what you're doing), what we fail to tell people
is that we don't have a magic wand to wave to make it happen
for them. If we did, everyone would be very rich, and no
one would have to be networking.
The expectations for new people must be clearly understood
by them. Anything less than a commitment to follow the
system that is in place results in failure for their business,
and ultimately yours.
To minimize the failure rate of eager new business owners,
it is necessary to lock them into a system that does most
of the work for them, including, marketing, follow-ups,
closing the sales and teaching them to mentor their downline.
In other words, a system that is pretty much failure proof.
As you know I have two programs that I actively promote.
In both cases these programs have advanced to the next
level of creating systems that truly minimize the chance
for failure. Systems that are so simple, virtually anyone
can succeed if they plug into the system. That does not
mean that their is no work involved.
You have to be willing to do what it takes to get the
system up and running, and then let the system go to work
for you. While the systems are doing the work of putting
people into your downline you need to brush up on your
mentoring skills and be able to help the new people who
come into your programs to get on the fast track by plugging
into the system.
How do you do that? By learning everything you can about
the system you're using. Know your company, know your product.
Become an expert. IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT, YOU CAN'T TEACH IT!
Let me ask you a question. Are you doing what is required
of you in the program that you're promoting? Or, are you doing
only what is convenient? Get out of your comfort zone. What
are the successful people in your program doing that you aren't?
When you grasp that point you will have turned the corner and
be on your way.
