Is your Upline Hi-Jacking YOUR business?

Is your Upline Hi-Jacking YOUR business?

I was talking to a friend this week who was telling me about his experience with his upline and sponsor and I was horrified at what he shared with me.
When he joined that business he told his upline and sponsor that he would not work the business full time and that he would be putting his other business first. He made it very clear that this would be something that he would work “around” his business that was his solitary income source and around his small family.
Despite all of that they continued to call him weekly and daily asking him who he had talked to and if he was coming to the meeting with a prospect. They would show up at his house and inflict high pressure meetings with him and his wife, telling them that they needed to get babysitters and take more time to build the business. They even had the nerve to tell him he needed to take more time off of work so his wife could work the business and “in just a few years he would be a stay at home dad!”
He had absolutely no desire to be a stay at home dad.
That was their objective not his. They had completely disregarded his wants and needs and looked at him not as a person but as means to their goal.

The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing Review

Are You Guilty Of Telling These 7 Lies Of Network Marketing?

If you are one of the 95 plus per cent of network marketers who are still spinning their wheels in this industry and not making any money then there is very good reason.

Let’s remove lack of action for a moment because undoubtedly this will account for many failures within the network marketing business. But the truth is, there are seven prime reasons why today’s network marketers simply cannot get off the starting blocks with their businesses.

Ann Sieg was a struggling MLMer for many years who did everything right in promoting her business. She made a list, attended meetings and poured her heart and soul into trying to grow her business. She was moderately successful but always hit a point in her growth where the large brick wall placed in front of her just couldn’t be scaled.

Her main problem, one which is the core reason why many MLMers quit their business within the first three months, was attracting enough prospects into their funnel. She had plenty of belief but couldn’t understand why she wasn’t seeing the results in proportion to her efforts. Yet, she kept being told that perhaps her belief levels weren’t strong enough or to attend more meetings or that everyone is a prospect.

The fact is, every one is not a prospect in network marketing. Sieg was finally fed up with the industry and decided to find out why it was some people were successful and the majority weren’t. You know what she discovered?

The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing

Bottom line is, just about everything you’ve been taught about network marketing, to quote a passage from her report…”is BS.”

Sieg set about compiling her report, The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and knew deep down she was going to offend some people. Let’s face it, despite more than 95% of people failing in MLM, there is still a propensity to get defensive when someone starts to belittle the industry.

Fact is, Sieg doesn’t belittle the industry. She recognizes it as one of the truly great vehicles for the average citizen worldwide to create financial security for themselves.

What she does attack are the tired old mis-truths still being taught today in droves on unsuspecting new network marketers about what’s required to build a successful MLM business. How’s this for some familiar stuff:

- anyone can do this business
- every one is a prospect from your family, relatives, friends and strangers
- you don’t need any skills other than being able to make a list or
- you’ll have your business built for you

Do they sound familiar to you? Truth is, anyone can do this business but only with the right skill set. And those skills should be taught even before they join the business. Most people who join a network marketing business don’t have skills such as marketing and promotion and to some extent sales.

And possibly one of the most irritating of The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing is being told one needs more self belief and belief in the business. Well, that’s true but how does that get you the fuel to build your business, namely prospects.
