Greener Pastures

There are currently over 3000 network marketing companies, give or take a few.  Every one bills itself as the hottest new company and the best opportunity.   If you are an active networker, you will be approached to join some of these other companies.  It will be very tempting for both you and your downline to jump over to the greener pastures.  In my 32 years in this industry, I can tell you that in most cases that would be a tragic mistake, because first off, the grass in the other pasture is probably so green because they spray painted it and second, in another couple months another "best in the world" company will come along that looks even better.  You will spend all your time getting started, which is the toughest phase of building a network.

If you are with a solid company with a top notch management team that is financially sound and has unique products that are in high demand; has professional looking marketing and training materials; is shipping products and paying commissions consistently; then stay where you are. 

Now the question is, are you happy?  If you aren't, is it because of something the company has done or are you not doing everything you could do to become successful?  If you aren't prospecting and retailing every day, training your new distributors, and persistently building a business, then it won't be any different anywhere else.

If you're with a good company and aren't succeeding, ask your best upline leader to help you analyze why.  Typically it's something you are doing or not doing during one of the steps.  Maybe you aren't prospecting enough people.  It could be that when you give a presentation it's too long or too short or doesn't have enough umph or perhaps you are too smooth.  Possibly you aren't closing or don't handle the common objections effectively.  Maybe follow-up is your hang-up.  If people join your team and then don't do anything, it's probably your training and support that is weak.  In any case, the answer is not another company, but rather another way of doing things.  Look in your own pasture first. I'm sure that you will find that the grass is very green right at home.
