Another Reason Why the MLM Industry has a Bad Rap

If you have a weak stomach, and don't like to hear of other people's hurt and pain, be warned. This lens is full of layers of heart break and other far reaching ramifications from network marketing business builders buying leads.

In my opinion, buying leads is one of the most destructive causes of network marketing getting a bad rap.

People spend thousands of dollars on MLM leads, they don't recruit any business leads or customer leads, then the holler that MLM is a scam.

How Do You Feel Now Knowing The Truth? 

Some people have asked me, "How could these people be so dumb as to keep buying leads?".

These people are not dumb. The only thing they are guilty of, is being good people who believed what their upline told them works.

Let's back up a bit to see a bigger picture.

First of all, network marketing is a "relationship" business or sometimes called "relationship marketing". People join people more than they join an MLM company because of the compensation plan or for the products.

During a presentation, the prospect comes to relate, admire and believe what the presenter is saying. They may be impressed with the company compensation plan, they may believe that they can stand by the products, but in the end, there is no mistake, a prospect will hand over their hard earned money because they believe the sponsor.

Another Disgusting Truth! 

Beware of Snakes in the Grass

How do a lot of the MLM top earners really earn their money? I'm not talking about all but I am talking about a lot of them.

They sell leads to their downline!

That's right. They sell leads as a sideline to their unsuspecting downline. They somehow earned the trust of their downline just to bamboozle them into buying leads. DESPICABLE!

They are not making that kind of income from sponsoring and retailing company products.

Will they tell you honestly that they are the ones that will profit from your buying lead packages? Oh I suspect not.

It goes back to asking the right questions. Have that person who tells you to buy leads if they had ever sponsored someone doing this. If they say yes ask them if you can talk to that person.

Hint: If for a string of excuses follow and that they will not/cannot connect you with this person, it's not a good sign.

So, ask who else they sponsored with leads and if you can talk to them.

Hint: If they avoid having you speak to one of their sponsored people that they brought in with paid for leads, then that should tell you something.

The run around of excuses is a real good indicator that something isn't true.

So, now what if you were connected with someone who was a "bought lead", ask them if they managed to bring in a new person into their group from the leads that they undoubtedly purchased.

I will be completely floored if they did.

Of all the people I have spoken to that bought thousands of dollars of leads, only a rare few managed to sponsor people. The number of people who were able to duplicate their sponsors success were next to nil.

I would rather have 50 leads that I personally generated with the system that I use, than have 5000 bought leads.

The skills I learned from Mentoring for Free are priceless because no matter what company or business I am in, I can use what I know to build my list.

With a solid list of real people who are really interested in working from home, I know my business will continually grow. I am also able to provide the skills and a truly duplicable system for the people I bring in. This helps the organization to have extrodinary retention because we as a team are able to provide results for the group.

Buying leads is NOT a system. It is the hardest and most expensive way to try to build a long lasting organization in your network marketing company.

It is so much easier to learn the skills you need to generate your own quality leads and to be able to share that with others.

Mentoring for Free is how I gained the invaluable list building skills. If you need to improve your skills and want to learn how to generate your own leads, why not take part in some of the free skills training Mentoring for Free provides.

Mentoring for Free is just that. Free mentoring. I would be surprised if you find our training and help of no use to you and your group.

There a marketing techniques that work and those that don't. Most of what is taught in MLM is ineffective for the individual but good for the guy at the top. Selling leads is typically another revenue stream for those at the top.

However, there are good leads that you can buy. Companies that offer them are darned hard to find though.

Keep in mind that leads are the lifeblood of your business. It's better to learn how to create them yourself.

Mixing MLM and purchasing leads is a big no no, unless you really know EXACTLY what you're doing. Most go at it blindly, waste a ton of money, then there goes their morale and they quit. I've always believed in networking marketing as a great way to create financial independence, but most people do not have the patience, perserverance, ultimate desire and will-power to succeed. So when the going gets tough, they end up not sticking around. True success in network marketing has to do with creating life-long relationships with people. And the more you help others achieve their goals, the more you will succeed as well.
