Everybody studies how to be a better MLM leader. But what about when you are just getting started or on your way to becoming a leader? This post will help you grow into a leader by starting your business off on the right foundation.
What NOT to Say to Your MLM Leaders
1. I sure hope this one works. This is a sign that you believe that it is something outside of you that will determine your success or failure. This is never the case.
2. I’m gonna “try” this out for a bit and see what happens. My Mentor Paul Orberson used to say, "You TRY peas and carrots, but Network Marketing you either DO or you DON'T!" Wanting to try it shows a lack of strong commitment.
3. I’m gonna be your biggest producer! Unfortunately, 100% of the time I have ever heard this, the person ended up falling seriously short of theirs and my expectation. Instead of telling your MLM leaders what you are going to do…show them.
7 Things MLM Leaders Should Hear From You
1. What are your suggestions for me? Now, let me clarify, not all leaders are created equally but if you come to most with this question, they will give you advice that will help you start generating money (as it also generates money for them). People helping people.
2. I plan on putting 12-36 months into this. Good MLM leaders love to hear this and will want to work with you as most of us spend so much time training people that we get turned off when someone has the “Get Rich Quick” mentality.
3. I talked to X number of people today. If you are serious about your business, you NEED to talk to X number people daily. How many should that be? That depends on how much time you can commit to.
4. I’m coming to the convention! This is huge. MLM leaders know that it takes commitment to travel to events and THIS is the X-factor. I just don’t know if you can ever have big success if you skip out on the training and excitement of live events.
5. What do you suggest for a daily routine? This is great, balanced and long term question that MLM leaders love to hear. A great MLM Leader will help you figure out what is best for you according to your other daily commitments.
6. I did what you asked me to do. This is a biggie, a lot of times people come to me for advice in my company, I give it to them and then they call back for more advice having not completed what I originally suggested. Don’t be this person!
7. I’m gonna do it your way. Hopefully the reason you are talking to the specific MLM leaders you are is because they have achieved something that you do not have but want. They are going to suggest a certain way of doing things and instead of arguing, reinventing the wheel or creating your own way, do it their way until you reach at least $5,000 per month in income and THEN, maybe, mix in your creativity (not that you have to) but do it the way your MLM leaders are suggesting at least in the beginning.
How you treat your MLM Leaders will dictate if you ever become one
Keep in mind the way you treat your MLM leaders will literally dictate IF you ever become one. If you chastise them, criticize them and don’t listen to them, subconsciously, without you even knowing it, you will sabotage yourself from ever becoming an MLM leader so YOU never get treated that way…things that make you go hmmmm…
These are all great and we must commit ourselves to all of these so that we can be in their shoes eventually!
Excellent advice.
Thanks for posting all your awesome insights!
Did not realize what a major overhaul I needed to make in my outlook and thinking! Lol!
But change is necessary and I am looking forward to experiencing the wonderful benefits that I will attain!
