Why is it so important as you might be looking for coaching to make sure your working with the right person(s) as your personal coach and mentor. Well many times overlooked when looking into an mlm business is the question:
Is this the person I need to be getting to know, without pressure. If your potential future coach and mentor, is he(she) putting pressure on people to join the new biz. Or in other words, “Get in today to get the ball rolling” or “Once your in you’ll get all of your questions answered.”

With any decision, calculate the cost, get to know the mentor, as to whether the right coaching for YOU is provided, and get the answers YOU need.

If I’m getting ready to join a new mlm company, I’m not as concerned about getting everything learned about the company as I am about getting to KNOW the Mentor, just as we would try to get to know the prospect. Are we right for each other?

Even If a few years have been spent in past mlm companies, our future growth into 6 or even 7 figure income streams could depend much on what our new mentor could be sharing with us.

What I would would really consider for a good mentor would be:

1. Is this person approachable?
2. Does this person have solid people skills and care about who I am?
3. I this person willing to help me in the right direction and support me?
4. Is this person more interested in a quick dollar or long term growth and relationship builing?

Also what kind of marketing strategies is this person using? Are they using outdated ways of basically glorified telemarketing?

It is important to be able to submit your ego to another man or woman. When this is accomplished with the right person it is a beautiful thing.

One more thing. Don’t think of yourself as not being worth the time for your coach, or he(she) is too busy for me. That is their responsibility to make sure you have all the information you need that may not be provided by group training sessions or meetings.
You have to think more of yourself and prove to your upline that YOU are ready for more advanced training and mentoring or else your lack of self worth will prevent you from your steady growth.

Ok, I agree with you that getting to know your mentor is very important. Honestaly thought, If you are ready, You could do it alone without a mentor.

And I would like to comment on your statment about "Are they using outdated ways"

Fact - Not everone has the same skill set
Fact - Not everone has the same mind set
Fact - Not everone is trained in Classical Sales
Fact - Not everone can get the same level of success with all styles of sales/recuitment


Myth - Old is bad

The simple fact that a way of recuiting, communicating or getting sales has been in use for some time does not make it wrong.

The premis of most things internet markets learn is basic physicolgy and the abality to duplicate a system. Not everone that does the "list of 100 names" can make it work. Does that mean no one can? Of course not, If that were the case we would not be useing this business model today.

The problem is, Lost of the older styles of doing MLM business take a certin skill set and not having this skill set or learning it quickly make for slow or no business.

There are people that are on this forum or that we all know that had amazing success without the use of the internet at all. They had no magnetic sponcering, no black belt recuiting and most did not study the business the way most of us do today. They had a small bag of tricks and they know what trick to pull out when to get a certin outcome.

The point I am trying to make is you are calling old styles "Outdated" thus saying they are old and ought not be used adn certinaly not taught. There is nothing wrong with the old ways. They are simply not for everone. I mean there are so many people out there that had a 100% conversion useing "The 24 hour Plan." how many times have you done anything new that ended in 100% conversion?

I agree, they are old and harder and the average person will have more success and an easier time duplicating the new ways of network marketing. I just think most people are two quick to simply right off the old style. Anyway im rambling.

Well said Andrew. However I believe there's merit in the saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears". Obviously this assumes that it's all faff before the student is ready... What do you think?

Sure Nath, Absolutely Everything needs to come together.
