The fastest way to earn that first paycheck? Most important is to understand the following:

There are two parts to Network Marketing which most people do no realize. There is the Network Marketing (MLM) side. This part of the business is building relationships, mentoring and coaching.

The other side is Direct Sales Marketing. This is your company with its products. Before choosing the Direct Sales Company, there are certain factors that you need to weigh. Most of all, you want to choose a 5-Pillar company. If your company can not meet most or all of the pillars, you are probably going to jump from company to company looking for that "one right company."

A lot of people do not understand the two sides of Network Marketing concept and, therefore, jump from company to company. In order to start correctly in the first place, remember that you are a Network Marketer who is there to help and assist people.

Most of those who have joined a Direct Sales company have joined with high hopes, enthusiasm and great expectations. What they did not count on was joining and then having to fend for themselves. Very typical. Most people feel like they have been set in the middle of a ghost town asking themselves: Where Did Everybody GO?

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks Kim and Julie, I'll try recommending these ideas to my new associates. This is what I like about BN, so many people are willing to give advice. When I mentioned the fastest way to that first paycheck, I meant it literally. It's not a question about getting the business to give a steady income, but to actually receive that first commission. It's an incentive every new associate needs. Remember the feeling of putting in all the effort to start a new business, but yet to reap any rewards. Sponcoring new associates is also about giving them insentive to keep going. We all need that sense of staying power.

Carlos hit it on the head earlier. It's not about how fast your system is. it's about what you're willing to put into it. it's about building that rapport with your prospects and down line. It's about providing crucial information that is valuable information.

Don't make excuses
Get results
Sell something or sponsor someone

BTW...when a high school grad decides that he/she wants to be a doctor or an attorney...how fast do they get their first check?

Doesn't it take years of learning and on-the-job training? In MLM...it isn't much different except you're not going to get the applause from friends and family until your checks are just unbelievable.
