It is the thing that can make you quit before you even begin. A well intentioned friend or spouse exclaims, “What have you gotten in to!” A professional whose opinion you respect declares, “That’s one of those pyramid scams.” All mean well and probably have your best interest at stake but sadly do not understand the network marketing industry and the freedom and success it provides. What they do not know is that network marketing is the greatest opportunity in all of capitalism. Those who see it and are smart and brave enough to partake in this industry face enormous success and wealth… if you can avoid the rejection you are bound to face between when we begin your MLM home based business and when you achieve your financial goals with your MLM home based business.The number one thing to remember is that after you have seen or heard about the MLM opportunity and gotten started, you cannot go home and try to explain it or recreate what you have heard to others – even your own spouse. This is the number one reason for failure in this industry. Someone sees the opportunity, hears the numbers and the money they can make (and the money is real), and then they rush home to tell their friends, spouse, or colleagues about this amazing new business that is going to make them financially independent. You cannot possibly explain a new business, compensation plan, and product after just hearing about it for the first time. It is like going to see a movie and trying to come home and give a verbatim replay of the screen play dialogue expecting the listener to feel like they were actually in the movie hearing the explosions and seeing the action stunts. It’s just not going to happen. So, do yourself a favor and set yourself up for success instead of failure. Prepare yourself and your team for the rejection they will receive when they tell their spouse, friends, family, and co-workers about the amazing MLM business they just discovered. It is not advisable to share your MLM business with anyone until you are completely trained and knowledgeable about your company. If you want them to know about it right away, have them hear about it the way you did. Bring them to a presentation, call in for a live or pre-recorded company overview, or have your sponsor present it to them. Following this tip will help you avoid the number one cause of rejection in MLM home based businesses.As many as half of all network marketers fail when they are rejected by family and friends. But, if when hearing the presentation for the first time your team were told, “Do not try to explain this to your wife until you have all the information and are properly trained” their expectations would be managed and their success rate would sky rocket. You can prepare your own team by making sure this is one of the very first things you teach them.Another major source of rejection is the “no show” syndrome. As many as half of the people you invite to hear a presentation on your MLM home based business will not show up. That is just a fact in this industry. People have busy lives, their kids get sick, their dogs die, and they just do not feel like going somewhere after a long day of work. After all, they probably do not even know what they are going to hear about. So, do not beat yourself up about it. Keep inviting them. Knowing that your friends, family, co-workers may not show up or may reject the idea initially helps to soften the blow. It is all about managing expectations.Ninety five percent of those who survive ten years in network marketing become wealthy beyond their wildest expectations. Don’t you want to be a survivor? Quitting your MLM home based business is the only sure way to fail. Half the battle is sticking with it and knowing what to expect. Arm yourself with these tools and you too can be on your way to the millionaire club!
