Hello Everyone,

I am excited to be here on BetterNetworker and being able to share information and Ideas with many of you out there.

I have been in Network Marketing for a little over twelve years and have seen many changes take place. Most for the better. You see, we are all learning and growing each and every day and we are also getting wiser.

For many years I have struggled in this industry of Network Marketing like most other's do.  I just could not put my finger on the reason or reasons why until a couple years back. Keep in mind as I write this I love this industry of Network Marketing and I want to see it grow into a positive giant that we all can be proud of and be a part of.

But, I also know and understand today why there is such a high failure rate and why its so hard to keep people in your business long term. The number one reason why its so hard to build this business for most people is this...

They have joined or partnered up with a company who's products or services are not needed by the masses. They are products that have such a tight niche to them that most average people in this industry are unable to move (sell) them.  There companies products that they chose to be a part of  makes it very hard for distributors to find and keep customers for some chance of long term residual income for them.

As a result...The hyped up money thing or the promise of the big money and how easy it is to make it is thrown into the spot light which does nothing more then create even more skeptical people having a hard time believing in what you offer. A lot of companies in the network marketing industry have some of the most off the wall products offered and expecting reps to sell them to someone. They can't!

As a result...The business in most cases is always focused on recruiting instead of customers. New reps joining with the intent of making money. Products that they would only buy because its a requirement in order to be involved in the comp plan the company has. Not products or services that the masses want and need, but products that really do not have much value to the end consumer. Which creates the high failure rate for most involved. 

And without long term product users, there is no long term residual income to be gained from it. I for one got sick to death of constantly losing business partners and a few customers that I was actually able to get. I said to myself, there is something wrong BIG TIME with how these Network Marketing companies and how they operate as a business. So I started looking at a lot these network marketing companies and comparing them to what makes a traditional business a success. Once again...Its the product or service you offer that is needed and wanted by everyday people who feel value from your product or service at a fair price.

That is what makes traditional Businesses grow and thrive. And it should be no different in our industry!

So, with all this said, here is what finally dawned on me after all these years of failure with all the companies I tried to build a business with. None of them had a good enough reason for me or anyone else to keep buying there product or service month after month that would create residual income from it. Did you get that one?

I actually quit the industry for the last couple of years because of not being able to find the right kind of company to partner up with that had a product(s) or service that made sense to people. I was sick to death of having to act like I was excited about products that I actually wasn't excited about to begin with. I was sick to death of all the HYPE that most people and most companies talk about.

Today, its 2009. I'm back in the Industry once again. I am very excited because I really do love the products my Network Marketing company has to offer. I can just be myself and share with people what I stand for and how myself and my company truly can make a difference in their lives without HYPE or any other untruths!

Once again, I'm very excited to be here at the Betternetworker forum.

Wishing you all the success your after,

Larry B.
