Recruiting and Moving Products is Network Marketing

Network marketing is not a pyramid scheme, and it’s not a scam! Now that we’ve got that out-of-the-way let’s get to the heart of this post.

Network marketing has got such a bad rap from people who are not in network marketing, don’t know anything about network marketing, and never have been in any kind of business in their life.

Have you ever noticed that the people who complain and wine the most about something are always the ones that know the least about it.

I witnessed an automobile accident a couple of years ago, as it happened. I saw the car go flying off the road and land just in front of a telephone pole right in front of me. I parked my car and rushed over where I found a very frightened young teenage girl, she was unhurt, but very scared.

After the police came and the reports were filled out, I heard all kinds of people who said that a girl was killed, that her baby was in the back seat, etc, etc. Everyone of those people were not there when the accident happened and didn’t have a clue as to what they were talking about, but yet they freely gave out false information as to what happened.

I see that very same thing happen in the network marketing industry. If you are interested in getting involved in a network marketing business of your own, talk to some one who is in the business and knows what they are talking about. There are credible and honest people in this industry who give out value and help to those who are seriously looking for it.

Like any business, recruiting and moving products is network marketing. Whether you own a brick and mortar business or any business, you must move products and recruit others to help you move products to keep your business flourishing. That’s how business works, and that’s how you make money.

More and more millionaires are being produced through network marketing. More and more people are coming into network marketing, out of necessity, and finding a completely new career, that is producing for them another income.

Through the internet, a brand new stream of businesses, and a whole new way of doing business is evolving, and more and more companies are jumping on this band wagon. Companies failing to comprehend the substantial pace at which the internet is growing are already loosing ground to competitors. In the recent past even retail giants missing opportunities to compete have disappeared completely.

Network marketing is “The business of the 21st Century”, according to business leader and best-selling author, Robert Kiyosaki. His, “Rich Dad – Poor Dad”, book series is still one of the best sources of information to small business owners today.

In the next ten to twenty years, the internet is going to change the way we all do business, and network marketing is going to be in the fore front and leading the way for people, just like you and me, to start and maintain a business of our very own, not just creating another stream of income, but producing a source of income for our families and other families for decades to come.

You Have Just Been Rejected!

Hello, my name is Brian Gosur and I’m a network marketer.

Has a nice ring to it doesn’t it? But some people are afraid to say that when someone asks, “What do you do for a living?” They get real quiet and with a faint and squeaky voice they respond, “network marketing.”

I know, because I used to do that also, and because of it, I was not  bold and forthright in approaching people with my product or opportunity.

Why are we ashamed and afraid to acknowledge this? Lots of people make a very good living in the network marketing industry. It’s a 110 billion dollar a year industry. Many of the products people use come from the network marketing arena. Why are we hiding are connection to network marketing?

We are afraid because of what they are going to say. They may argue and get mad and make some accusations about us being in that “pyramid scheme”.

Your perception of rejection is really about you, and who you are, not about network marketing or your primary business.

When I was a kid, I grew up in a home that didn’t share much love. I was told that I would never amount to anything and I was just going to be a garbage man for the rest of my life. I was constantly barraged with negativism and sarcasm, and because of it, I grew up withdrawn and not very assertive. But one thing that I did have, was the will and drive to prove you wrong. You say I can’t, I’ll show you I can. That drive to win, propelled me into playing sports, and that’s what keeps me going in this business as well. The ones who finish the race are the ones who will have all the success and money.

When I played sports, and that first game of the season came, you trained and were prepared, but you wanted to have that first ball hit to you, or take that first hit into the boards and get it out of the way because once you did, the rest of the game became easier. There was some sort of mental block that was erased when that happened and you could now go on and play your game.

When I worked in the mortgage industry and had to make all those cold calls the same was true. Once you got your first couple of rejections, out of the way, it became easier to pick up the phone and make the next call. Now I was ready for the rejection, and actually looking for it.

The worst rejection is by your spouse or family members. These are people that you love and look to for their approval and when they don’t give you anything but rejection… well, that is the hardest thing to take.

You can avoid rejection. Just stay locked up in your office or home and don’t talk to anyone, or face that fear of rejection head on.

When I played hockey and I would get decked, all I did was get back up and get back into the game. I knew I would probably get hit again, but it wasn’t going to stop me from playing. As a matter of fact, it would fuel me even more, and make me more determined to score the next goal.

The same goes with your prospecting. After you do that first couple of calls and get rejected a couple of times, it becomes easier and easier and after awhile, you find that rejection is actually an agent that’s working on your side. We would even make a game of it when I worked in the mortgage business. It didn’t deter us one single bit.

Now I still  get those butterfly’s in my stomach right before I start doing my phone calls, and I think I always will. Sometimes are will find myself reverting back to that little shy withdrawn kid that I used to be growing up, but once I start, and get the ball rolling, it becomes easy and actually kind of fun.

Don’t let people steel your dreams, and don’t let rejection from people who hate their own lives, and don’t know what their talking about, kill the motivation and the drive that is going to lead you to financial freedom, and the successful entrepreneur that you are.

 

 

 

Network Marketing – What It Is and What It Isn’t

In my everyday conversations with people, I get a lot of people who ask me what I do. When I say that I am in network marketing, most of them will sneer and look at me with that same look, ” that’s one of those pyramid schemes”. Network marketing carries the wrong illusion of a pyramid scheme. When I ask them back, ” what is a pyramid scheme?” They cannot answer. I am going to tell you the truth about network marketing – what it is and what it isn’t.

What It Is

Network marketing is not a pyramid scheme. Network marketing is a business that leverages the efforts of many distributors or representatives of a company to produce sales of a product or service that this company represents. These efforts produce a residual income for both the company and the distributors of that company. It’s that simple.

I worked for Ford Motor Company for thirty five years. Through the combined effort of thousands of employees, all around the world, sales and the distribution of  Ford Motor Company vehicles, produced a residual income for both Ford Motor Company and its employees. You could say that Ford Motor Company is a form of network marketing. This can be said of thousand of other companies all around the globe. You probably are or have been employed by one of them.

What most people don’t realize is that network marketing is the key that drives the entire worlds economy. In fact 95% of the worlds population work in some type of network marking and don’t even know it. If it is run as I described in the paragraph above, it is probably some sort of network marketing business.

What It Isn’t

I am approached, by network marketing representatives, every day about their particular company and the product or service that it represents. There are about 4800 network marketing companies out there, so there are a lot of fish in the ocean to choose from. When someone comes to me about a business opportunity that only has to do with the passing and exchanging of money from one person hands to the next persons hands, a big red flag goes up. When there is no mention of a product or service, and they can get cleaver in hiding this, be very careful.

There was a company that was out, and may still be out, that cost one hundred dollars to get in. With this they put your name on a grid. As you got people to join, your name moved up the grid. When you got to the top of the grid, you received a check for a certain amount of money, and your name went to the next grid. When you got to the top of that grid you received another check. With each grid, the check amount increased. The only way you moved up the grid was by how many people you brought in. This is a pyramid scheme. No product involved, and the only way you moved up was getting more people in, not selling anything.

Some people were making money, but it is illegal. This is against the law, and you want to be very careful. They can be very cleaver on how they present their opportunity. If you are seriously looking for a network marketing business, talk to someone that you know and understands the business. If you don’t know anybody, you can take a look at my website. I have plenty of information on the network marketing industry, or attend one of my training’s. I would be happy to assist you in what exactly network marketing is all about.

The network marketing industry has been around for over a hundred years. It produces 120 billion dollars a year of revenue. The oldest network marketing company is Avon, not Amway. Most people don’t know that. It has providing more millionaires than any other industry. For a small investment you can start your very own business. Work from home and build a nice residual income for you and your family. Work par-time or full-time. Work your business around your schedule. It is a strong and viable industry to get into. Do your homework.
