If you'd like to put your business into profit and sustain that profitability, stop buying leads.

You might be advised by your company or by your upline leader to purchase opportunity seeker leads because they are the most responsive to your opportunity, stop that. Nothing can be further from the truth.

Just because you spend $5, $7, or $10 per lead does not mean that it is a quality lead or that this lead is dying to join you in business as it's often portrayed in this industry.

Have you ever bought company's or upline's CDs, videos, or web sites as a sure way to how to build an MLM business? These retail tools are often times marketed as mechanisms to close prospects into your business.

This practice is very popular among companies - to get you to buy these tools in hope you can make an MLM works.

The common expectation is that these products sell themselves, have you ever been pitched that way?

How Does Network Marketing Work if you were a CEO of a network marketing company? if these retail tools can close prospects into the business why would you allow distributors to market your products and pay them a commission when you could keep 100% of the profits yourself?

If these tools were so effective or if the products sold themselves, why do they need people to distribute or market their products?

The answer is that these retail tools can't close businesses, neither the products sells themselves.

According to the direct Sales Association approximately seven hundred and fifty thousand new people join network marketing companies every single year - that's over two thousand people every day. They join in industries as diverse as telecom, nutrition, merchant services, and legal services.

And every year, there are thousands of new individuals going through the usual MLM pitfalls.

One of the old techniques on how an MLM works is to have distributors draft a list of targeted prospects from their warm market.

Now that you've run out of your warm market, how do you build an MLM business beyond your friends and relatives?

The problem with this MLM list is two fold:

1. People might not have the need or the desire to consume the products you're marketing or just are not interested in the so called "opportunity" to generate an additional income.

Fact: "90% of network marketers fail within their first 3 to 5 months".

Why is the attrition rate so high in Network Marketing? What can be done about it to curtail this detrimental factor in an organizational downline?

If I were to pick a single reason why most people fail to recruit, retain, and have a guaranteed MLM downline is because you are taught to present your products and/or services in terms of how much money your potential prospect could make, you're taught to sell the opportunity.

Now that you have signed on the dotted line to start an MLM Business, how does really it work?

You signed an independent distributorship contract that says you are licensed to market the company's products or services and you are also licensed to build a distribution channel of marketers to bring those products or services to the consumer market place.
