Warning...5 Avoidable MLM Mistakes Newbie’s MUST Avoid  

Starting out as a new associate in your business can be one of the most confusing and frustrating times that you will face. You will be pulled from one side to another from people telling you that you should do this and that , while finding your own fit and place of comfort in your day today marketing. I decided to list what I saw as 5 of the most costliest mistakes a new marketer will face when they first start out and how to avoid them.


1) Avoidable mistake: mailing sales packages to cold lists

By now you should know what a cold list is. In case you don’t know, it is a list of names of people who are not at all interested in the offer made by you. They generally don’t ask for more information about your offer. The bitter truth is they are indifferent to your interests and do not care how big your company is.

If you mail your opportunity to this ‘frozen’ list, you will be simply wasting your money. The members of this list are cold to your information and believe that it is trash.

So avoid this mistake and only mail the ‘warm leads’ who request more information about your opportunity. It is important to learn how to generate your own warm leads, rather than spending a fortune on leads that have been resold many times over.

2) Avoidable mistake: not building a warm relationship with the prospects

You have not tried to build a good reliable relationship with you new prospects you have made. But, you still think that those prospects will risk their bank balance with you for acting as their sponsor. Nonsense! This is a vain hope on your part.

3) Avoidable mistake: mailing the prospect more than one offer

A sure way to irritate your prospect is to mailing him more than one mlm offer. If one finds a bouquet of mails, the mails find their way certainly to the trash bin.

4) Avoidable mistake: your reluctance to spend money on training

Like any other legitimate business, certain methods are necessary to follow in network marketing to make money out of it. You must work on learning the ropes of this business. You should always spend enough money to buy training materials, course, tapes, books and other things. The right training is necessary to obtain profits from the business.

5) Avoidable mistake: your refusal to work hard

MLM talk about working hard to make money in every possible way. But the concept of working hard tragically doesn’t appear in most of their daily marketing routine! This is certainly a misunderstanding on the part on them. And the reason of the lack of working hard is laziness!

The truth is all are not born with equal mentality. It’s easier to watch television rather than to make follow-up calls.

If you want to succeed in network marketing, make sure that you avoid these 5 mistakes. Take the time to learn how to generate the best leads and get the training of how to contact them, what to send them, and how to convert them into distributors. Keep charging, don’t get discouraged. God bless.
