Your First Year In Network Marketing

It has been said that most people who enter into network marketing fail

. It's probably true. If you've ever sat through a presentation for a MLM opportunity, you know how easy it can be to get sucked in. Everyone is so energetic and enthusiastic. Success story after success story is relayed and visions of dollar signs begin to dance in your head. Why, of course you can be a top seller in six months! You'll win the company distinction of being the first person ever to win a company vacation in less than a month! Your fist year in network marketing will break all the records, Right?

Unfortunately, after a distributor signs on the dotted line and they try to sell their neighborhood on their products and company and they find they get rejected, people quit. While it's true that most people fail within their first year in network marketing, the actual numbers are probably failure within the first month or two, or three. As people start learning about the cold world of rejection, they lose their enthusiasm for the business and they quit.

But anyone who has succeeded will tell you that your first year might actually be your hardest. If you come into the business knowing nothing about sales, it will take you a while to get your bearings. Handling rejection is the biggest hurdle that people have. For someone who has never sold so much as box of Girl Scout Cookies, it can be personally damaging when someone looks at you after a presentation and says, "This isn't for me." You may have to stumble through 100 answers of "no" to get to one "yes." Sometimes more. This type of constant rejection can be trying on someone who is new to the business and it can be very tempting to throw in the towel.

Other people fail because they don't put in the time. Your first year of network marketing will require long hours of work. Building any business from nothing takes hours and hours of labor, and MLM is no different. You'll have to study up on products, sit in on training calls, attend classes. This is on top of actually selling products and laying the groundwork for your network downline. If you are starting your business full time, this means 8 hour days are a minimum. If you are starting part time, this means coming home from your day job and putting in several hours a night, and usually all weekend. You don't have to, but if you don't work, you can't reap the financial rewards.

If you make it through your first year of network marketing without giving up, your odds of success are high. Be willing to put in the work and sacrifice some of your personal time now, so that in a few years, you can be the one boasting on a conference call that you just came back from an all-expense paid vacation thanks to the company.
