When speaking to one of my team members today, we were discussing how, in network marketing, people often are unable to see “the big picture.”
As most people know, in network marketing a large percentage of those who join quit before they’ve put any real effort into their business. I believe that is because they don’t have the right perspective, their overall view of what can be achieved is beyond them.
Those who can see "the big picture" are able to look beyond the immediate future, seeing in their mind through a wider lens that displays the true possibilities that lie before them.
There are network marketing companies that promise almost immediate success. Although on rare occasions, someone’s business does take immediately, but it is bar far the exception, rather than the rule.
Network marketing companies that pay residual income do not pay a large amount for every sale an associate makes. Rather, they will earn a small amount, but they’ll be paid that amount month after month, year after year, rather than being paid only once. With residual income, once an associate builds a good income, even if they stop working their business, as long as they remain with the company, their residual income continues to come in.
I’ll use my own company as an example. Xpress Healthcare sells discount health and dental plans and benefit plans that reduce our members’ costs in many other areas of their lives. For instance, if I sell our top plan, I will be paid $15, which by itself may seem a rather small amount, not much at all. However, I will be paid $15 every single month for every active account I sell. Let’s say I sell our plans to a business with 100 employees.
From that one sale, I’ll be earning $1500 month after month.
In the grand scheme of things, $15 is looking better. PLUS, I’ll be paid a percentage of the sales people on my team down two levels are paid. So, in addition to the $15 I’m paid for my personal sales, I’ll be paid $2.50 each month for all of the top plans my team members sell. Again, using that company with 100
employees example, if my team member made the sale, I’d be earning $250 per month, and I did no work for it!
Of course, anyone who “sticks it out” continues to make additional sales that begin stacking up, growing a larger and larger residual income. Is that “big picture” beginning to look better?
I personally believe that those who are unable to see “the big picture” should not work with a company that pays residual commission. They should select a company that pays larger, one-time commissions. If they are wise, they’ll invest it well. If they are not, they may end up with nothing in the end.
With my own company, as with many others, the possibility of earning the “magical” six-figure income is very real for anyone willing to work for it and not quit. I personally never worked a j-o-b where I came anywhere close to earning that much money, and if I quit that job, I received no additional paychecks. So, what if you had to work two years, or three, or five? Seeing that “big picture” up the road should keep you staying the course until you reach it.
