Whether you are new to Network Marketing or not, I’m sure you have been exposed to the belief that MLM is somehow different from any other type of business and needs to be approached from another angle.

Let’s take a look at the activities the vast majority of network marketers participate in thinking it will bring them success in their downline building efforts. And let’s see how these things contribute to lead generation for new prospects.

So let’s just jump right in and identify the 7 biggest mistakes in network marketing

1-Failure to write out a plan of action 2-Having a belief that any “joe blow” can do this 3-Believing it’s as simple as just sharing with others 4-Bugging friends and family is a marketing strategy 5-You need to give away company cds and dvds 6-The idea that every NO is closer to a Yes 7-That the 3 foot rule is really a solid marketing style

Does that list look like the stuff you have been taught to do by your upline or company? Well most people will never duplicate the success of the top income earners in their company using these methods. The fact is unless you are a super personality with incredible sales skills you will not succeed with these techniques.

What used to work in mlm is not as effective and what had marginal success before is even less successful now. The huge shift in the way people connect today through the internet with social networks in truly a massive opportunity for network marketers to benefit from.

How Things Have Changed …. Nowadays instead of traveling all around the country (or world) people can connect by teleconference, email, blogs, websites, instant messaging and can even send packages overnight if needed. Even most small mom and pop stores now have a website, email and faxes. But for some reason most Network Marketingcompanies still stick with the “old school techniques” that for the most part are outdated and ineffective.

I believe it is possible to turn things around in your mlm business right now and get on the path to true success. You can accomplish this without losing any friends or maxing out your credit cards. When you are successful in your network marketing business your friends and family will ask what you are doing and how can they join you.

Have you felt like it was just a huge waste of time and money spending hours and hours calling hundreds or thousands of leads who didn’t want what you were selling? Have you placed classified ads, both online and off? Or done pay- per- click or banner ads without the success you expected? Well there is an alternative that can put a smile back on your face.
