Why you're really not succeeding in network marketing - hype
“If you want to build a real sustainable business, you’ve got to get skills, you have to get help, it’s not the hype.”
Brooke Elder
In Podcast Episode 123 Brooke delves into the reasons why you may not be succeeding in your network marketing business. The one thing that kills a business faster than anything else is hype.
Companies want to build up this hype because when there’s hype, then people get excited. When they're excited, they push themselves out of their comfort zone. So of course, people know, companies know that if we can push people out of their comfort zone, it's going to be way easier for them to hit their goals and everything. And for them as a company to make more money, right? So that's why they build all the hype around everything.
“It takes dedication, anything worth doing does, because if it didn’t, everyone would be doing it.” - Brooke Elder.
Network marketing is an amazing vehicle. It takes care of all your customer service, product development, all of the legal issues. It takes care of all the “hard.” Your job as a consultant is to learn and get skills to know sales and marketing, because if you are just relying on hype, there is nothing really tangible behind it.
It’s all about the user experience that you are actually providing people, whether it be through your products or through your opportunity. You need to talk about things in a way that will set the expectations the right way or it’s not going to work because you build up the hype and people have the wrong expectations.
When expectations are set the right way customers will stay customers and team members will stay on the team long- term. The industry average for a consultant to join a network marketing company is to stay for three months, that’s it! The turnover is so high because most people join because of hype.
Why would anyone have a nine to five job if you could just sign up for a network marketing company and just sit back and make money. Posts that promise a work from home job that’s easy, just sign up and make money. That’s selling based on hype. Everyone knows that’s too good to be true.
