Recently in a private online forum someone was very annoyed with me because I am too ambitious, how ridiculous. He complained that my will to make a lot of money in MLM is bad, that network marketing should be banned everywhere because it's a pyramid scheme and should be considered illegal. My answer to this gentleman was simple. In my reply I said "I joined MLM, he joined a pyramid scheme, they are two different things" I went to further explain why MLM pyramid is far better than traditional pyramid (you can read this in my previous article). The statement that caught my attention most was when he replied, that in general, people have a bad opinion about MLM business. At first i weaken, then i thought "people", who are they? the majority we see running around 8am every morning fighting the traffic? Then i thought "opinion" not fact... Is opinions not the cheapest commodities on earth? So why should i worry? The statement got me thinking, but not about "people" and their "opinions" but mainly about how many are the "majorities"; 80% of the population? 50%?, 30%? I started to think of how many people dislike MLM and would not consider taking a look even if that is their last means of surviving... The truth is the number is high, possibly 70 - 80% of people will not get involved in this life changing business. High number of people really hate MLM, but that is not a bad news for MLM business builders. What do i mean? Well.. MLM distributors get paid high commission because we have to deal with these people daily. Our only motivation is the big checks that come through the post every month. Why should we worry about "people" that will not get involved in our business. The fact is that we should be very happy that majority dislike MLM, for if everyone is interested in building MLM business, then out high commission will jump out of the window. MLM companies realise that distributors are faced with objections and rejections daily so in order to distributors continue in the business they will have to reward them massively. The best way to deal with objections and rejections is to make it your friend. Easier said than done, but once you have a state of mind that tells you that you get paid for taking many rejections and turning objections, you will prosper. MLM business is not for everyone, but for those that stay, they achieve their dreams, create a better lifestyle, a better future for themselves and their children and are built for life because a successful MLMer will succeed at anything. See you at the top. Aliyu Odumosu |
