Get Paid First Alternative To MLM Business Model - Part 3

In this article we are going to cover the importance of self development and training. If you have failed at MLM’s like I have think back and estimate how much training and coaching you got?

If it’s anything like my experience you may have got access to a back office system that kept a record of your leads and re-hashed advice from your Sponsor about growing your list. After weeks of trying to grow my list I was basically told it must be my fault because ‘the system’ worked for everyone else.

Well the 97% drop out rate already mentioned is I am sure so high because there is no training in marketing offered with most MLM opportunities.

In addition it needs to be recognised there is more than one way to market MLM. Some are very appropriate for your products and some are not and you need to be guided as to which is which. Preferably in a multi-media format because people learn in one of four ways:
•    Visually – These people will generally say things like, “you have to see the big picture”, or, “I see what you mean”. So the best way they will learn is by video, PowerPoints etc.
•    Orally – These people will say “I hear what you are saying”, or , “we need to listen to what this is telling us”. Such people will learn best by MP3 audios and CD versions of books etc.
•    Descriptively – These people will say, “Let me have an email on it and I’ll get back to you”, or, “Do you have any notes I can take away and read?” These people learn by reading.
•    Action – These people are action orientated and learn by copying or doing, so they will say something like, “Show me how to do it then let me try”.

Good training systems use all four methods because whilst we have a primary way of learning we use the others as well. So if you are looking for a good business opportunity to partner with you need to be aware of what training they offer. It’s worth paying more for a partner that provides this additional support as it pays in the long run – it’s an investment in you plc.

As well as the training it’s important to recognise you have a responsibility for your Personal Development and should invest in Books, CD, DVD’s etc that are critically recommended by independent reviews. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is always a good start as it’s easy to read as a primer, follow this with the Cash Flow Quadrant by the same author.
