Why Loving Your Product Is KILLING Your MLM Business!

We’ve all heard before that you should use your products and be enthusiastic about them to help grow your MLM business, right?
It makes perfect sense. You’re not going to sell your product or encourage others to start a business with you if you DON’T use and love your product…
BUT
Loving your MLM company’s products could be killing your MLM business.
Let me share with you a real example from my own network marketing experience.
When I joined my 3rd network marketing company (I had never made a PENNY before or sponsored anyone, because I didn’t have a system to follow) I joined a health MLM company. I used the products and absolutely loved them, saw huge changes in my health and decided this would be a good business to build. THIS was my deciding factor – good products.
What I didn’t take a good look at was the recruitment process, the system in place for training new reps, the residual payments, the order process, the delivery costs, the policies surrounding marketing online, the competition, the pricing, the methods my upline were using to recruit, the commission I would be paid on my entire downline etc etc.
I thought good products = good business opportunity for ME
Well, 3 weeks of trying to grow my business and although I was making slow progress (£12.50) I was facing challenges because I had not looked at the whole system properly. The BUSINESS was not a good fit for me even though the products were great.
I had so much emotional attachment to the products that I kept going despite several alarm bells going off in my head that I was making this HARDER on myself by not seeking out something more suitable.
Finally, after 6 weeks of trying to make it work I started doing my research and found something that was suitable for online marketing as well as offline, that paid out a LARGE residual income without me having to call up my customers to get them to reorder, I would get paid for my entire downline unlimited levels, delivery was all automated as was the sign up process..and many more benefits.
Not only that, but the product was SOLID and competition non-existent.
Now I’m not saying that you should quit your MLM and join mine. In fact, mine may not be right for you but what I AM saying is that just because you LOVE the product it does NOT mean that the BUSINESS is right for you.
Detach your emotions from your business and ask yourself – is this WORKING? Is there a missing link that is stopping me from succeeding?
Then go find a business that has everything you need, INCLUDING a great product, but not ONLY.
I found it very hard emotionally to leave my last company (and I never really left, I still buy the products monthly at a discount) but my BUSINESS has taken off because of it. In fact, once I found the right company and product for me I made $500 my first 6 days, made more than we were making per month in my first 3 weeks and went on to have $1000+ days in less than 90 days.
So do your homework and let go of your emotions – then you’re in BUSINESS.

Great topic
Your topic is the one that drew me, and after reading your content, I couldn't agree with you more. You have to look at the business as a whole, especially those policies and procedures, and then make that decision whether it would be good for you or not. Thanks for sharing!
Too Excited
It's a very good point you make here Rachael.
I've noticed that another problem with a product that is really loved, if people are not careful, is that it can be over promoted with far TOO MUCH enthusiasm to the point where it is rammed down potential customers throats putting them off even looking.
I wrote about it in response to another article. You can read both here: http://myjobfreedom.com/ashmax/recruiting/
