Several people are constantly struggling to earn money in network marketing and they do not always succeed in the end. Many make hardly any money or spend more than they end up making. Such people have a hard enough time making ends meet and do not need the lies that often show up in this business.
Due to some eye raising statistics the majority of people would prefer to discontinue the countless network marketing lies. Nearly all people or 90% who start such a business will give up after only three short months. Even if they last longer than that 95% will quit before they have been in the business for a year. Eighty percent of people who join your business will never turn into a business builder and sponsor somebody into the business.
Just a few of the popular lies are that everyone can be considered a prospect which is not always true. Another line that is too positive to be realistic is that distributors are actually sharing the product rather than simply trying to sell it. Such an attitude does not prepare distributors of the product for the rejection that inevitably comes with the territory. Thus, many give up very soon.
Another common network marketing lie that recruiters will tell to potential distributors is that anyone can succeed in this business. Again, this is not always true; if you are not a good salesperson you cannot usually convince people to buy things especially if they do not need them.
A popular lie that is sometimes told is that the business that you are building will eventually be yours which is not true. Owners of a company that find themselves successful will not likely sell or give up business to you if they can help it.
No one gives away money for free. If they can keep you working for them, only taking a small percentage of the profit for each sale then they will probably continue that practice. If it's currently working for both you and them, they will see no reason to alter anything. This business can already be difficult enough to break into and succeed in; no one needs lies when they are first starting out and these unrealistic expectations do count as lies.
Just a few of them are listed here. There are several books, articles and newsletters out there detailing the multitude of other popular lies. Just skimming those will help develop and refine you about the indefinite number of other lies about this industry.
