The Reason Why What your Upline Teaches you Doesn’t Work in your Network Marketing Company
Frustrated with your ridiculously unsuccessful and money-draining network marketing business that is going nowhere fast??? Despite the fact that your hugely successful upline told you that all you need to do is get two, who get two, who get two etc, and then you’ll be RICH beyond your WILDEST DREAMS?!?!?! For the millionth time you ask yourself the question, ‘WHY DOESN’T THIS WORK?’
Well, let me tell you why.
Let’s wind the clock back about 50 or 60 years. Swing dancing, World Wars, bowler hats, flouncy dresses, and when a neighbour was a friend.
You got up in the morning and bid a cheery hullo to your neighbours nextdoor AND across the road, went to work while your wife visited her friend four doors down to discuss that new chocolate chip biscuit recipe. You wave to everyone you see on your street because you know them by name, in fact, you know everyone within a 500 ft radius of your home!! That night one of your friends pitches you on this new fantastic idea of a business, network marketing, that just involves you talking to your friends about this amazing product. You fall in love with the product, go and tell everyone you know about it, and because
you are their friend, they’ve never heard anything like this before, and they trust you, they listen. Some of them fall in love with it just like you and the word spreads easily and far. Well, why shouldn’t it? Everyone knows everyone.
Okay, wipe that dreamy smile off your face and let’s come back to reality. Those days are GONE! They are NOT coming back. A gigantic bubble just burst above your head and you are not smiling anymore, but wakeup calls never are nice, are they?
What’s it like now? Well, you could tell me, most people might know their neighbours name, but have no idea about anything else. It’s true for me, haven’t spoken to my neighbours in 3 weeks. I’m a very sociable person, but our societies operate differently now. People have marketing thrown at them all day and every day, from billboards on the streets and buildings, to high-powered radio and TV ads. It’s all thrown out there saying ‘LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! BUY ME!’
People are more skeptical nowadays, they’re used to discarding marketing ploys all day, every day. Most likely they’ve had 5 friends ask them at some point in their lives to join a network marketing company to get rich easily, and they have tried and failed. Just get two, who get two, who get two, and so on, until you have so much money you could buy a small country.
The only thing that is certain in this life, (apart from taxes) is change. You cannot stop it, and you ignore it at your peril. So if it worked 50 years ago, but nowadays 97% of people fail, what does that tell you?
A very smart man once said, “The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.”
And that, my friend, is the ultra-abbreviated history of network marketing and why making a list of everyone you know and pitching them on your golden, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity does … not … work.
But don’t get me wrong, network marketing is probably the fairest business model of them all. But only if it is approached the proper way, times have changed yes, but now you can call anywhere in the world for a $20 a month, the internet enables to you connect with 1000s, no 100,000s of people in an instant. It is not all doom and gloom for network marketing, you just have to learn what works and do that … then go buy your small country.
