So, you’re thinking about
leaving your network marketing business.
I’m sure you have a great excuse.
You’re not earning what you expected and there seems to be no progress.
Just in case you haven’t
thought of a legitimate-sounding reason for leaving without sounding like a
quitter, I’ll help you out with the ones I’ve been hearing for the decade I’ve
been in network marketing. Perhaps one
of the following excuses will be a good fit for you with your unique lack of
results.
Our products don’t sell in my
small town. This one actually works well, because the average person
doesn’t know that small towns have produced many very successful people in our
industry.
All my prospects tell me the prices
of our products are too high. Many people like this one. They have convinced themselves that the price
is the reason they haven’t succeeded in network marketing. For
some reason, they never seem to realize that there are many top earners in
their company who sell the same products at the same price.
My sponsor quit or doesn’t
support or train me.
Again, the vast majority of people have no idea that a huge percentage of the
most successful network marketers were not trained by their sponsor. Many sponsors don’t support their team members. So, go ahead and use this as a defense for
jumping ship. I imagine, however, that you know
that you’re friendly with your neighbors; you have a hair stylist, contacts
through social media, and many more.
If I spend time working on my
business, I find myself neglecting my children.
Many people join network marketing so
they can spend more time with their children and earn the money to better
support them. If you can justify
abandoning your business and appearing to be a better parent, go ahead and use
your kids as your excuse.
My family members give me no
support. Most network marketing companies encourage their
reps to start with their “warm market,” so most people will accept this
rationalization. I personally disagree
with that recommendation. None of my
family members work with my company, and I’ve never asked them to do so. But, hey, if you believe that is why you have
not succeeded, use this excuse.
Personally
I’ve never considered leaving my business even though I have had my own
challenges and ups and downs. You see, I
know that I can grow and grow my business until I reach all my goals. If you do not believe in yourself, then use
whichever rationalization you choose to convince yourself that is your
products, your company or your community’s fault, and that you are not
responsible for your lack of success.
