I'll be honest, generally the people who keep asking are those who are hoping there's a big red magic button available that they can simply press and bingo, they've got themselves in a profitable situation.
The truth... if you are not moving ahead in your business then how the heck are you going to help someone else move ahead in theirs. There's a certain level of credibility you need to have with your prospects.
Multi level marketing success revolves around a plan; finding the right vehicle, sensible prospecting methods, focus and discipline and your desired eventual outcome. How is your plan doing?
More importantly, how long have you been working your current plan? If you have been getting spasmodic results or even worse, no results at all, then you need to throw your current plan out the window!
Of all the points mentioned above attached to a plan, the most important one in my book is a sensible prospecting method. Without a continual stream of prospects coming through your funnel it doesn't matter how focussed or determined you are, eventually you'll be defeated.
Without prospects, multi level marketing success is just a pipe dream because if people are not joining your business on a consistent basis, there is no business. Simple as that!
The MLM business has remained the same in principle over the years but the opportunity to market the business has changed. No longer are people restricted to relying on things such as the "3 foot rule" or harassing friends and family to build there business.
The internet has been a huge boost for network marketers and has opened up a whole new world of prospecting opportunities. But guess what? Still distributors struggle to attract the right opportunity seekers to their business.
Buying untargeted leads has become a nightmare to MLM'ers who will spend huge amounts of money on supposedly fresh leads yet endure untold amounts of disappointment and consistent ridicule when they follow up on those leads.
Multi level marketing success revolves around attracting targeted prospects; people actively seeking a business opportunity and who will come looking for you. Until you understand this vital aspect of the MLM business and make it part of your overall plan, you can expect to keep failing over and over again.
The multi-level marketing (MLM) business has a somewhat tarnished image. Part of the problem has stemmed from unscrupulous parties adopting the payout structure in support of scams and frauds. Another reason for discontent is dissatisfaction many business operators have had with various variations on the payment plan.
At its core, MLM is attractive. Adam sells to Bob. Adam gets a commission. Bob sells to Charlie, Bob and Adam get a commission. The process can go deeper, but the idea is that one gets payment not only for the direct sales they make but also for the direct sales made by others one has recruited. Of course, that also means that a percentage of one's own sales and commissions are also getting ?kicked up? to someone else.
The possibilities this system creates are attractive, but there is also a downside. Part of one's earnings will always be destined to disappear in the form of a payment to the recruiter. It can also be a difficult system to track and can require one to spend a great deal of time dealing with his or her downline to make the process a success.
These weaknesses, combined with some of the controversy surrounding MLM has led to the creation of some alternative payment structures that are gaining popularity in the online marketing world. One of the most attractive alternatives to MLM is the one-Up compensation plan. This system has been embraced by some online business industry leaders and is gaining steam as a powerful alternative to other MLM plans.
With a one-up plan, one's first sale is passed directly to the person who made the initial referral to the online business. After that, one earns direct commissions from then on out. Additionally, if one sponsors any other business participants, they receive the commission from the sponsored individual's first sale. The first qualifying sale of individuals sponsored one level beneath you also come back to you. It's a system similar to that used in the insurance and real estate industries for several years, and it is proving to be very well-received and lucrative for online home business, as well.
One-up compensation plans are time-tested in the brick and mortar world and avoid many of the problems frequently associated with MLM plans. Programs like the Prosperity Automated System (PAS) have been successfully using one-up structures for some time, clearly demonstrating that there is a fair and better way to handle referral business and commissions for online businesses.
