Network Marketing and MLM – Getting Past the Startup Bumps and Flying High

If you are beginning to build a network marketing business, you will find that you experience a few highs and lows as you go along. There will be days when everything seems to fall in place perfectly. There will be other days when nothing you try to do goes well.
You know you are having a bad day when:
1) You call six prospects. Two of them answer and don’t recall asking for information. Three are just voice mails and you have to leave a message. One plays a message that says…”sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected, or is no longer in service”.
2) Your number one prospect who seemed so excited yesterday announces he has signed up with another opportunity.
3) You tell a good friend about your network marketing business, and they give you a lecture about the evils of “pyramid schemes”.
After you have a few days like this, it can really be discouraging especially if you are new to network marketing and MLM.
Here are three things you can do to get back on track.

• contact your sponsor or upline leaders who have successful businesses. They have most likely been through many of the same challenges and roadblocks you are encountering. They can tell you what they did to get back on track and moving again.
• remember your “why” for doing your business. What are your goals and objectives? If you don’t have these clearly defined and written down, now is the time to do it.
• move forward and continue doing the fundamentals – advertising, contacting prospects, sponsoring, and helping those you have already sponsored.

Your network marketing business is the key to a bright future for you. Building a strong business isn’t easy. It takes determination and dedication, but the rewards are more than worth the sacrifice!
