MLM Sucks – The REAL MLM Scheme
Posted by: | CommentsMulti-level Marketing (MLM) as an industry has been debated over for several decades now. Some say MLM sucks, some say mlm is a scheme. Others say it’s a great way for the average Joe to make money…
And we could go over all of the stats about how 98%-99% of all people that signup in an MLM will never make money. We could talk about the Amway tools ripoff or how Monavie sells overpriced bottles of juice (neither of these things are my opinion, by the way… It’s just the crap all over the internet that gets debated).
Let’s put all of that stuff to the side for a moment and hone in on this one personal experience of mine that totally sums up MY “truth about MLM”… I’m talking about the secret that all of the big pins and heavy hitters won’t talk about.
One of my mentors mentioned this to me as to why he STOPPED growing his MLM business all together and started focusing on Direct Sales/GPT/Get-Paid-Today opportunities and passive income streams.
He said it was because he got tired of “babysitting adult children”.
Woah! That phrase hit me upside the head like a two-by-four. Babysitting adult children?
But he was right. You see, I didn’t believe him until I started growing a downline of several hundred people. Instead of spending most of your time golfing and on the beach like they show you in the lifestyle videos, you’re spending 8-10 hours a day coaching people, doing 3-way calls, training webinars, creating your own systems, and MANAGING all of it. It just becomes a better paying J-O-B, and you get the opportunity to call yourself a “business owner”… woopidy-doo!
You see, when the “price of entry” into your business is $50-$200, you’re going to sponsor a BUNCH of broke people with broke mentalities. That’s not to say you’ll get some sharp people too. But MLMs stay in business not because of the 100 leaders buying the products. The stay in business off of the thousands of SHEEP attending their hotel meetings, quarterly functions, and team meetings. Yea, I said it: SHEEP.
I know – I was one of them.
I was herded around for YEARS because I really didn’t have the GUTS to take the actions to build my business. See, I’m honest
I was an “adult child”. A big baby.
The REAL problem, though, was that I just had no want to take those actions. I didn’t want to face that REJECTION that I got when I tried to get a phone number from someone I had just met at the mall so I could pitch them on my business later. I wasted SOOO much time “pretending” to build my business because I just hated talking to total strangers and get them excited about my business opportunity. Especially because they just weren’t the people I should have been talking to anyways.
Then, something happened. I came across some information that totally changed my life.
I figured out how people were actually getting calls from people that they had never met, and these people were BEGGING to become part of a business opportunity.
Yep, instead of wasting time at the malls you can actually attract people TO YOU.
In the last few months alone, I’ve been able to create over 700 leads for my business without leaving my house. In addition to that, my leads have PAID ME to be my leads! I’ve grown my business and created over $20,000 in profits over the past 2 months. This is WAY different than MLM.
