The Only Professionals That Should Not Do MLM

I know, I know, I know. I know I should not say this but when people are misled into thinking that something is whereas it is not, then I believe that something aggressive should be done so as to remedy the situation.

I have continually said that MLM is the only profession that does not care where you are coming from. We have all seen the old and the young, the female and the male, the rich and the poor come into the MLM industry and succeed. It goes without saying that MLM is all-embracing.

This is especially important in these turbulent economic times when people are looking for more ways to generate extra income. Whether it’s to pay mortgages, car loans, the kids’ college, that important family vacation, etc, more and more professionals are flooding the MLM industry. You might want to check out www.google.com/adwords for words like Home based business opportunities, mlm, network marketing etc to understand how huge this is.

However, These Professionals Should NOT Do MLM…

This is bound to shock a lot of people, but I would care less…

The professionals that should not venture into MLM are the Professional Salesmen.

Yeah, I said it! I knew you would be surprised. I know a lot of people who would do anything to have professional salesmen on their team. And I understand why!

And if you are a professional salesman, and you are reading this, well understand that I absolutely LOVE salesmen. I once nursed a desire to get trained as a Salesperson because I am a shy person. The man who literarily made me join this awesome industry, Robert Kiyosaki, used to be a salesman and if not for anything I owe him that. I really do LOVE salesmen.

But you see, one of the things that is giving this industry a bad name is the tendency of people to act as salesmen in their mlm business. But MLM is not a sales job. MLM is a marketing business.

3 Reasons You Should Not Have the Mindset of a Sales Professional

  • 99% of People Suck at Sales

No doubt about it, salesmen could recruit a lot of people using their sophisticated skillset, but after that what next? You see, 99% of people are not good in sales and so if having skills in sales is the path to success then a lot of people have failed even before they get started.

Sadly, that is what a lot of people think. I remember when I used to chase people in the good ‘ol days, one of their objections is that they cannot sell to people and that they would join if I would be selling on their behalf. (I chuckle when I remember those times).

The way out is to quit selling and start smart marketing. My income began to see a massive boost when I understood this

  • Your Company Does Not Recognize You as a Salesperson

One of my mentors would say that when people call your company’s head office asking for the sales department that your phone does not ring. They don’t patch the call through simply because the company does not recognize you as the Sales department.

They recognize you as marketers who simply invite and see who is interested in the opportunity. That’s all. That’s why they invest in those training resources, so that you could invite.

  • Salesmen are trained to work for money right now vs cashflow

Most salespeople have been trained to work for money right now, versus cashflow. You want to make sure you understand that a network marketing business opportunity is a long term deal. Robert Kiyosaki says those who flipped houses, sold big ticket items, rode the stock market, etc all worked for capital gains and have suffered whereas those who worked for cashflow have fared much better in this economy.

This industry is all about that all-important cashflow. Learn to embrace it.

So if your reason for not getting involved in the mlm industry is because you have condemned yourself to being terrible at sales, then GET OVER IT. You don’t have to be good at sales. You are not supposed to be good at sales.

MLM is not about chasing, bugging, begging people. It is not about being an expert at sales. This business is simply all about inviting people and seeing who wants to take their income to the next level.
