The THREE Biggest Mistakes Most MLM Distributors Make. 
By: joe cotroneo
There are many reasons why so many people get involved in MLM. Many MLM Pro's have a secure 6 figure income to retire securely on.
After many years of observing the MLM Marketplace, I have noticed that there are many mistakes that MLM didtributors make. These mistakes are not because the Mlm'er is stupid.......it is simply because in most cases they only follow what their upline or MLM Company tell them to do. They are only following the directions of those above them.
The biggest mistake any MLM upline or Company can do is take the new distributor out of their comfort zone. Let me ask you......How many of you want to contact your friends or relatives about your new MLM business? If the statistics are correct, over 95% of you would prefer to NOT contact your friends or relatives about any business. Most of you know from experience, that not many of them are not interested or have the slightest inclination to build an MLM Business. Yet even to this day, many sponsors and companies still tell people to do this one thing. This is the easiest way to lose any downline you might have built. What most distributors should be doing is promoting their business to their own leads generated from advertising. A new distributor should only be contacting those people who expressed a desire to start their own business.
Another mistake most new MLM distributors make is to fall for the concept of Quick Riches. They generally believe it when a person tells them how they are making $10,000 a month after only a week in the business. What they fail to see is that this person has probably moved a downline from one opportunity to another one. Or maybe they spent years developing a large list and now they can mail almost anything to it and make money.Patience is the key to success in this business. If you understand the principles of MLM and stick to your plan and don't quit......eventually you will make money. You must always build a firm foundation of distributors and train them to do the same things you do. Stay with the same company and teach others to "duplicate" what you are doing.
A common mistake is the choice of company or products. There are many different estimates, but there are probably 15 million MLM distributors in the USA and it may grow by 5 million more distributors 5 years from now. You might think that this is a huge market, but one very major dynamic has changed. Up until about 1990, there were maybe only about 100 viable MLM Companies. When we look at the present situation, there are literally 1000's of new MLM Company startups yearly.
Why not adapt to the new environment by becoming a "merchant" to all these distributors instead of competing with them. After all, there may be a hundred companies alone competing over the latest health product discovery. Wouldn't you agree that you should promote a product with the greatest market appeal possible. While a few people may be interested in a new health product , don't they all need Leads? Do you get it? There are some companies that do nothing but market the tools Mlmers need to survive. They also have very attractive pay plans for you to consider.
I know you can see where this is leading to. Be just like the merchants in 1849 in California, You need to sell the "picks and the shovels" the MLM distributor needs. This way you can market to everyone involved in the industry, not just a small part of it. The Gold Diggers rarely got rich, but the merchants nearly always did.
You CAN be successful in MLM. Just don't make the Mistakes listed above, and you will have a greater chance at having a successful MLM Business.
