Why 97% Fail in Network Marketing?

There are a few reasons why most people fail in Network Marketing. But the number of failures vs. success' is astronomical - they say 97%. Out of the thousands of people I know that are either in MLM or have tried it, only a handful are successful. Why is this? I believe the number reason for failure is that the companies we represent and most leaders teach people how to be salespeople not mentor/trainer/leaders. Most people cannot sell, so if someone has no sales experience, they will have a very tough time doing MLM in just about any capacity. If you want to find out if your good salesperson, just go and buy a bunch of leads, or start calling people out of the phonebook and try to sell your juice, hand cream, or healthy chocolate.

So how do you do MLM if your not a born salesperson, or want to be a salesperson? The answer to that is simple. Work on yourself and try to attract people to you. If your just starting out in MLM this could take some people a few years. But if you want to move faster than that, than your best place is going to be the internet (Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Lynked in, blogger, Youtube, and the list goes on). I recommend picking just a few social media websites and master them. I then recommend that while you are building your following that you EDUCATE, EDUCATE, and EDUCATE. Become like a sponge to webinars, training, etc... Over time you will have a wealth of knowledge to share with others through blogging & article writing. Once people see you and trust you, they will automatically want to join your business, or buy whatever it is you are selling.
