My friends, I believe that we in Network Marketing, are at the beginning of a fantastic trend - a revolution in the industry.
For years, the top levels of this business have been dominated by red personalities. You know the type I’m talking about?the “hard hitting, no remorse, all go, never quit until you beg, plead, and bribe every innocent grandmother into your organization?kind of personality. This behavior, among other things, has led to a public misunderstanding of the potential of Network Marketing.
There’s a reason that as soon as one of your friends hears that you’re a Network Marketer, they head for the hills and join the Witness Protection Program. It’s because they’ve probably been hounded by someone else in Network Marketing and lived to tell the story. And BY GOD do they tell the story! They share their negative experience with everyone they know.
WELL GUESS WHAT - THE TIME OF HOUNDING IS OVER
Thousands of Network Marketers have been subject to this behavior and you know what they’ve realized? They’re not comfortable with it. They’ve had enough! They’re starting to see that people aren’t numbers, not everyone is interested in starting their own business, and not everyone is a prospect!
More time is being focused on building relationships with people rather than trying to convince every 2nd person you meet that your DEAL is the best thing in the world for them.
Countless Network Marketers have been burnt by the flames of the red personalities, and they’re ready to do MLM the way it should be done - with honesty and integrity. The next generation of Network Marketers, of all ages, will band together to revolutionize how this industry is perceived by the public.
I estimate that in the not-too-distant future, Network Marketing will be accepted by the masses and will be an awfully strong channel for the world to purchase products.
Move aside Red Personalities. Your time is over.
