Today I wanted to share with you an experience I had with a network marketing company (I won’t mention the name of the company, and no it wasn’t Melaleuca:) a couple of years back. I think my experience, and the lesson I learned will really help you discover how to make money in Melaleuca, and truly become successful with your network marketing business.

If you are like me, at some point you were probably dragged to a “business meeting” at a local hotel by a friend or relative. During this meeting, you may have been approached by other people who wanted to do nothing but talk about themselves, their business, and essentially how great your friend or relative was for gracing you with the opportunity to attend their, quite frankly, insultingly watered-down meeting.

This type of recruitment turned me off of network marketing.

Bigtime.

I broke into a cold sweat, and ended up giving my friend the cold shoulder after he kept upping the investment. The whole thing felt dishonest, and somehow dirty. It shouldn’t be necessary to subject your family and friends to constant sales pitches, or cold call strangers just so you can break even in a business.

Where is all that initial money you invest going?

Why is the training so ineffective?

The answer is because in the network marketing industry, there are more people going about things the wrong way then the right way. When approaching a prospect, it’s about them and not about you. If more network marketers understood this, they’d listen to others and figure out what makes them tick. That’s how you make a sale, and that’s how you bring them into your Melaleuca business down line.

As you invest more time into people, they will invest more time into learning from you and developing a business that will create more profits. Knowledge about network marketing, Melaleuca Wellness Products, and the development of a realistic business model will be the most effective ways for you to invest in your prospects. After all, you have to give a little to get a little, and in this case, you’re going to get a lot more than you bargained for (in a good way).

So sit down, and invest the time in reading “The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing,” (you can download it for free at the top of my blog) where you will find more information about developing yourself and the distributors in your Melaleuca organization.
