Solid Success in MLM

The Art of Communication

The art of communication to a considerable extent depends on the the cultural background, the level of education, the age, the profession and many other factors
Communication is a very sensitive topic and needs expert training if someone wants to be proficient at it. There are many spicy stories in history which show very well how much has changed over the centuries.

Modern people do not consider communication an art very often. But communication still is a major factor in determining success or failure.

Let's look at Network Marketing which is a business of people joining people. Interaction between people is the main factor in this industry and it should be a major part of any education provided in this context.

Most people don't think they need to be educated in communication, yet some people do.
Yet those who accept the necessity for education are the top earners in this business.

Common sense should tell us that we have 2 ears and only one mouth - an indication that we have to listen twice as much as we speak and we have to listen to what a person says and not what we think is being said! Next we have to look carefully(2 eyes) at what we learned so that in the end we can give a well tempered reply (1 mouth). There are different types of people who need to be handled in different ways and also strategies have to be acquired to give a conversation/communication direction.

Hopefully this has given a first idea as to how essential good communication skills are when inter-relating with people - you simply need to do it! Welcome!

MLM Yesterday and Today

Time is racing - MLM Yesterday is only 25 years back and it is already stone age. In those days it was state of the art to make a list of friends and family, to work in the warm market. For many this work from home ended up in frustration as these new entrepreneurs saw this business opportunity as a good way to work from home with the motivation of increasing the family income and having a better lifestyle, yet what they did not see was, that their prospects mostly were not what they wished for.

Let me explain this: offering this new business to someone who was not looking for an additional income was like offering a boat to someone who prefers hiking as a sport. Very often people ended up having friends and family antagonised or they received "good advice" to let go of such dubious business schemes.

Let's jump to today! In this very short span of time the internet has appeared on the scene. Many people have learned a lot more as to how to proceed in a network marketing business and to evade the "pains of old" a new trend has come up - to make the business automised in order to avoid discussions. Loads of offers can be found that claim things like "build your business online without sponsoring a single person" or "we build the business for you".
However, the success rates have not increased compared with yesterday. Lots of people invest time and money to become independent and self sufficient only to end up frustrated and at their wits end.

The solution is so easy: There is no profession which can be done without proper training! So why should anyone perceive that network marketing can be done without proper training?
