How to Pick a Mentor for Your MLM Business!

If you truly want to be successful in your MLM business, you need to find a mentor. If you think you can do the MLM world on your own, you have a unreal view of how it works. All successful people in MLM started with a mentor to guide them.

Drawing from the experiences of a MLM mentor will help you to launch your MLM career in the right direction and avoid pitfalls which you will encounter.

1. You Need to Seek Out an Experienced Mentor: By finding an successful and experienced mentor is the smart thing to do. Do some background checking and research on the mentor with which you want to align.  Aligning yourself with successful people is smart to do in any facet of MLM. More then success from a monetary sense, make sure they have been successful in producing and mentoring other top producers. If a mentor cannot teach you what has led to their success then how will this help you to work with them? Make sure their systems are duplicable by talking to others they have trained.

2. Find a Mentor Who Has the Same Goals and Interests as Your Own: Michael Notosays it best where he writes: “Since you will be talking with your mentor a good amount, especially early on, while your business is getting off the ground make sure to have some characteristics in common with your mentor. Talking about business non-stop can make any relationship go sour quick. Breaking up the conversations with a little sports or movie talk for instance can lead to a more defined relationship based more on commraderie rather then a student-teacher disconnect. These type interactions will make both of you become more comfortable with presenting business ideas to each other as well, as you will feel generally more comfortable with your conversation.”

3. Make Sure the Mentor has a Vested Interest in Your Success: To me this is the most important factor in any sales mentorship model, and is not exclusive to only Network Marketing. The fact is money motivates people plain and simple. Mentors are much more likely to tell you their “secrets” when they have a stake in your business operation, which might be the most valuable aspect of a vested interest sales relationship.

Your mentor can be a valuable resource and knowledge as you begin your journey as a Network Marketing success story. He can spark ideas in your head that you never even thought of or better yet never had the guts to try.

With all of this said keep in mind one thing. The most critical factor to the success or failure in your Network Marketing business is YOU. Your determination and business savvy will eventually determine whether you sink or swim.
