The problems are promoting the product, finding prospects, andtraining your down line.   Promoting TheProduct   “The product will sell itself” is the mantra of many MLMcompanies. All you have to do is show the product to a bunch of people and theywill see how great the product is and will want to buy it.   You think the product is great (they usually are), so surely otherpeople will see that too…Isn’t it a shocker when they don’t?   What’s wrongwith these people!? Don’t they know this is the best product on the market?   Bottom Line : The product doesn’t always sell itself. And you only make money when you sell the product. Noproduct sold, no money in your pocket.   FindingProspects   The first people you are taught to talk to are your family andfriends. Most of them will laugh at you because they know you . They know your faults and failings. They don’t believeyou will actually do anything.   So you turn to associates and acquaintances. You talk to yourco-workers…if it’s safe. Even if it is, you still talk to them secretly. Youdon’t want your boss to know you’re working on something on the side.   Next is cold contacting. Your goal is to meet people so you canprospect them. But how and where do you find people? When you’re at the mall.When you’re putting gas in your car. When you’re shopping at the grocery store.When you’re at Home Depot. Start planning your life around going places so youcan prospect people.   And how do you know if they’re even interested? You don’t. So youlead with the product. After all, “theproduct will sell itself!”     Bottom Line : When you sponsor people into your business you aremaking them your business partners.

And people have an uncanny knackfor seeing right through this.   You also alienate your friends and family who get tired of youalways talking about the products and your business...there is more to life youknow.   Oh, and it doesn’t matter if you absolutely believe in your product and business.   Training YourDown Line   Yea! You finally have a down line! Now you have to teach them sothey can duplicate you. You get to be the teacher you always wanted to be. Youshow them how to sell the products and how to contact their friends and family,associates and acquaintances, and how to cold contact.   And when they start duplicating you, your business starts tomultiply. And then they start teaching their down line the same thing youtaught them.   Bottom Line : How well your down line learns and implements whatyou teach them is dependent on them. And it takes lots of time...time thatyou’ve sacrificed to help them.   Granted, your down line will and should appreciate the time you’respending training them, but you can’t make them learn and you can’t make themdo.   The Solution   The solution to promoting your product is to sell yourself first.People are looking for a leader, not a product.   The solution to finding prospects is to find people who are already interested in a business andlooking.   The solution to training your down line is to join a system, or abusiness with a system, that trains your down line for you.   Problems Solved   Theproblems of promoting your product, finding prospects, and training your downline are problems inherent with building any MLM business.   Thesolution to deal with these problems comes down to changing how you build yourbusiness.
