7 Common Mistakes Made By New Network Marketer

May 19th, 2010

pathtosuccess2 150x150 7 Common Mistakes Made By New Network Marketer7 Common Mistakes Made By New Network Marketers

Here is the fact, to be successful when joining any network marketing program, and ensure long term survival in the industry, We need to learn and understand the basic as a newbie. The truth is 90% of new network marketers either fail or struggling to make it after joining any network marketing program.

I have seen new network marketers making the same mistakes over and over again. Here are 7 most common made mistakes, but there are not limited to only these.

Mistake #1 – Don’t take time to complete the Training
Its really sad to see this, but its true. Most marketers do not take or complete the courses provided by the network marketing program. Be it product, sales or marketing training. Learning the necessary Skill is the key to success.

Mistake #2 – Taking it too Easy…
Most new marketers do not take the program seriously. Some doing it whenever they like it… and worst of all they expect the Sponsor or leaders to place downline below them…or hoping for a Spill-over from any uplines… This big mistake contribute to major failure..

Mistake #3 – Cannot Take Rejection
After a few rounds of rejection from friends or prospect, the marketers get disappointed and discourage easily and eventually, think that the program does’nt really work out and then what’s next… Sponsors are there to help. They will hold you by the hands when you are new and slowly loosen as you gets more into the business. Sponsors are always there for you to call or email for any help. Make use of sponsor to make a presentation with you to prospect… and you will learn from there.

Mistake #4 – Do not know how to leverage on Sponsors or leaders
Sponsors are there to help. They will hold you by the hands when you are new and slowly loosen as you gets more into the business.  Sponsors are always there for you to call or email for any help. Make use of sponsor to make a presentation with you to prospect… and you will learn from there.

Mistake #5 – Focus too much on recruiting.
Over selling of products to friends and relative you know…and hoping to get the recruitment done quickly. New marketers just forget about the benefits the product or services can bring.. Even if the new prospect do not want to join the business, But they could be a Customer using the product or services.

Mistake #6 – Forget about Yourself
Selling products, focus on the network companies brand and benefits of the program… But forget about self branding. I belief that people join people, products and program play a part. But branding Yourself is just as important…

Mistake #7 – Telling prospect the opportunity is easy
New network marketers normally are new and usually provide misleading information to prospect to seduce prospect into joining the business. Lack of knowledge and providing misleading details might results in poor retention rate…

Mistake #8………

Hope this is useful and serve as a guide to help new marketers when You Join any Network marketing Program or when You sponsor someone into Your Business…
