More MLM Annoyances

Multiple streams of income do not come from the same business. One business can have multiple revenue sources, and indeed should have them. However, that is not the same as multiple streams of income.
Learn how to run a business, not annoy the frack out of people. Anyone interested in making more money is not your target market. Learn how to target your market. Let me give you a for instance:
I am interested in making more money. I have no interest in so called health products. I have some interest in financial products and services, but they must conform to my ideas, not the other way around. If it's a product, you can be that I'm going to see if I can find it cheaper online. If I can, why buy from you?
You have a business if you have marketing, sales, management and acccounting systems in place. Otherwise you have a hobby that might be profitable.

Rules for approaching me if you're into MLM

So, you're in MLM and you want talk to me about it? Here are 5 simple rules you must follow to have any hope of selling me on your business.


  • Determine if I'm in you're target market. Contrary to popular belief, you're target market is not anyone who happens to be over 18 and breathing. Remember both sales and marketing start the same way, qualifying the prospect. The difference is that marketing qualifies a segment of the market and selling qualifies the indivual.


  • Do not under any circumstances attempt to sell me your opportunity. I will be more interested in your product or service. See, without a viable product or service, you have no business. If I like your product or service enough, then and only then will I decide if I'm even interested in your business.


  • You must be deriving most of your income from sales of your product or services. Oh, and I'll want to see proof of that. If you can't sell it, how do you expect me to sell it? If you aren't making money at it, how do you expect to teach me?


  • I don't like sales people. I don't like marketing people. They both have the same flaw, they assume that I'm interested in whatever they have to sell, and therefore have the right to contact me at will. WRONG!!!!!!!!


  • It's not a fracking opportunity, it's a business. You must market, you must sell. If you disagree with that, don't get anywhere near me.



If you like my rules, please feel free to link to them.
