Greetings All,
It is Saturday today & had just came back from my uncle’s wedding, his second marriage after his wife’s death two years ago. Good for him. Today’s topic is not about my uncle’s marriage but about the main topic for this blog, MLM Network marketing. His story will be in next post. Today, I am discussing about MLM worst type of people to avoid.
So now let me begin. There will be 8 kinds of people you should avoid in MLM. Seriously, avoid them at all cost. I break them down in points.
Avoid#1 – Unbelievable high enrollment fees with pressure tactic people
Please avoid them. This may happen to product base MLM. If you got lots of money, please do go ahead paying high enrollment fees. They will always use unnecessary tactic to pressure you for inventory loading . Your upline might be going after a quick sales even after you already become a distributor.
Of course if you pay high fees, you will have a bigger profit margin due to the bulk inventory loading but will all your downline want to pay that high fees? Some might just want to be customer & some don’t even want to pay that high fees. If they don’t follow your way, then profit margin will be affected.
Avoid#2 – Pure hardcore MLM fanatics people
I would not join any uplines who are not serious in their business. These MLM fanatic people are only in for the fast money & it will be difficult to find him if he suddenly moved to another super hot MLM opportunity that came along.
This is what happen. They will join the MLM company & they got all hype & excited after attending the company events or seminar. Well, it won’t last & eventually die off. The reason is that after a while they encountered problems & struggle to solve them. They will do what they are best at. Move to another company. The reason they give is that the upline at the other company is better or the MLM company is better. That will always be the reason for moving company to company.
You need to keep in mind that once we manage to solve the struggles within ourselves, you will not find any problems in your business. My reason for not joining this kind of person is that once I join them, they would one day come up to me saying that this opportunity is not good enough & pressuring me to join another program under him. What? Suck right?
Avoid#3 – Energy sucker people
Haha.. what a sub category! Energy sucker! This is one of the worst. This people are the most negative people you ever find in any MLM company. Trust me, they are there on the outskirt somewhere. Normally I would hide my downline away from them. They are like a disease or germs that need to be control or killed! They are the most emotional rubbish & cry babies in networking industry.
This energy sucker would suck your positive energy dry and frustrate you with his problems like all the pain of his rejections, complaining about the company, the team, the staff or even the products. If you are not careful, he will pass that negative energy to your other downline and he might get them all to leave.
Avoid#4 – The Talker
These people are not bad people in and off themselves. They are great crowd pleasers and when you ask them to share testimonials or goal setting; they would be the first to give a rousing speech.
The problem becomes when all they do is talk, and tag along and give all kinds of excuses to justify their results. You can’t depend on them but yet you can’t turn them away because they seem so sincere and has become one with the team.
One of the best ways to deal with them, since they like all the attention, is to get them to bring their friends to home parties or rallies or any events organized by the company that will give them lots of fun. They will forget that they are doing ‘work’ while you build your friendship with their prospects.
Avoid#5 – Mr. or Ms. Know-it-all and Heard It Before
These are people who are very good analyzers and attend to all the trainings and meetings. They write down every bit of information here and there but also don’t bring the results.
Because they are know-alls, they will give you a hard time when you are trying to educate them or push them to success.
They will not attend trainings with open minds because they will go, “ah, I’ve heard this before. They are not teaching me anything new here.” They will even start criticizing the speaker in their hearts.
Training MUST be attended repeatedly so our skills can be updated and reinforced. These groups of people would most probably be making little money in their network despite their large storehouse of information.
Avoid#6 – The Negotiator
When you approach someone with your opportunity and they are trying to sell you something at the same time, you might be facing a hard time if that person is adamant on selling you his wares or if he is just plain stubborn.
Not that you must avoid every single negotiator, but bear in mind that these people are very calculative and will only join your network if his or her price is met. Then they might start pinching lines from your network and you will find that your people have gone over to the ‘other side’. Afterwards, it would be too late for you to remove that spy within your midst.
Other people in network marketing, especially the more established ones will take contact over a couple of weeks or months before they are ‘ready’ to join yours. If I had to go for other networkers, I would rather go for the ‘weaker’ ones or else I would be just wasting my time. Furthermore, the weaker ones may have connections with their leaders so there is a chance you will connect through them because of their relationship with their leaders.
Avoid#7 – The Snake
These group of people are the biggest poison in the networking industry. They will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to recruit people into their network. Even if it means using unethical methods just to get them.
Some of the tactics include high-pressure hard selling, friendship blackmail and even worse: line pinching.
Be very careful of these people when they are talking to YOUR prospects. They will appear friendly and helpful, sharing with your prospects and welcoming them to the team, and the next thing you know it, they wind up in THEIR downline.
They might even pick at your own existing downline and entice them to get into other MLMs that they are already a part of.
Avoid#8 – The Sloth
These people will act just like a sloth. Doing nothing! They join MLM companies to purchase NOT a business opportunity, but they purchase ‘HOPE’.
Surprise! MLM requires work!
They will expect their uplines to do all the network building for them, they may even attend all the meetings, rallies, home parties, reading all the books and listening to the tapes.
But there is one thing that he or she won’t do.
He or she will NOT SEE THE PEOPLE. They won’t talk to anyone and all the ‘work’ they have done in the business amounts to nothing just because they are too lazy to see the people expecting their upline to do everything for them.
That’s all for now.. It is quite scary when you know the people that you need to avoid after reading this post because somehow you realized someone in your circles who falls under those category mentioned above. This conclude the title MLM worst type of people to avoid.
