I hear it all the time, “Network Marketing is not a real business.”  I don’t know if the people that say this are just misinformed or if they have never taken the time to figure out what Network Marketing really is.  I thought it would be helpful to do a comparison.

Network Marketing is a relationship business. The more people you get to know and eventually present your offer to the more success you will experience.  This concept has been true from the beginning.

The number of people joining the Network Marketing profession is at an all-time high.  The amount of financial commitment needed to join a company is low and a Network Marketer has a less chance of failing than a small business owner with a storefront.

Network Marketers often make the mistake of thinking that they have to sign up a prospect at the end of the first meeting. But 9 times out of 10, a prospect won’t sign up after just one exposure. It takes time to educate prospects so that they fully understand the opportunity. And that is why the follow up is so important.

The business world today is kind of crazy.  People are looking to dismantle, restructure, and phase out.  It seems like every business I go into there is a manager that barks orders all day from behind a desk.  It seems that most businesses have lost the ability to inspire their teams.  It seems that most businesses leaders have lost the ability to work as a group.
