The Keen Marketer

It takes courage to make it in this world.  And network marketing is no different.

Actually, I think that it takes the most courage because we are constantly being challenged beyond our comfort zone.

Not everyone takes the challenge.  These are the people that do succeed, up to a point.  But the ones that make it to the top are the ones that have faced their fears head on.

There are four major enemies that come with network marketing.

1. Rejection:  Who likes to be rejected?  I sure don’t.  But in network marketing, one has to realize that it is not us personally that is being rejected.  Once you get past that obstacle, you’ve taken your first big step on the ladder of success.
2. Deception:  Let’s say for example that you are calling people to invite to a presentation.  Many will say that they will be there but the time comes and they don’t show up.  Life is like that.  We feel deceived and let down.  Get over it.  It is not aimed at you.  Again it’s not all about you.  People have a life and some grains will fall on infertile ground.
3. Apathy: If you’re presenting your product and opportunity to a lot of prospects, you will be meeting a lot of people who just aren’t interested in what you have, even if it’s the best product in the world or the best money maker alive.  Many people just don’t want to be bothered.  They are happy with what they have and don’t want to rock the boat.
4. Attrition:  So you were successful and did your part very well and managed to sell your products and opportunity to quite a few people.  Congratulations!  But you only have 1 serious person out of 200 people who decided to take this business seriously.  This is the price of success.

Your only choice is to keep on going because network marketing is a numbers game and recruiting is the only game in town.  There really is no secret to the process.  It’s simple but not easy.
