Network Marketers offer strangers to join their business.That is why that industry has stigma. Other than that the industry is legit.I participate in network marketing, actually love the business model, manage a team.Commission is only earned when a product is sold.Beautiful.The industry has stigma because of the way the leaders train.It’s called their downline.So the person who sponsors you is your upline, the person you bring into the business is your downline.So your upline tells you to grow your downline this horrible way.One size fits all, which I've never agreed with.One size doesn’t fit all for anything.But in that industry, they force it down your throat because that is how they did it.So this is how it's gonna work for you, and you're thinking it's not gonna work for me because it's not a genuine way for me to deliver the message.I'm not gonna sit there on Facebook for two hours at a time messaging random people.It's become such a thing that it's known as the "Hey Girl" message, which is what it is because I actually received one once.I mean, it was from a person participating in the same business that I was participating in. And I gotta "Hey Girl" message.And then later I realized that that was a thing, you know, send out "Hey Girl" messages.You'd be awesome at doing what I'm doing blah, blah, blah good on that person.They were successful and it worked for them.It doesn't work for everybody.That's the thing also, you know, I've done these trainings where people tell you what to do, send out these messages on Facebook.And I actually messaged somebody that knew somebody I knew personally and they were literally mocking me because of my approach.And I thought, “they're right.”Why?Why would this person join you?Hey, we live in the same neighborhood, so awesome to connect.Oh, by the way, do you want to start a business with me?In another podcast episode, I talked about Realtors proposing on the first date.This is like asking for sex at the dinner table on the first date, or even further, not proposing but actually getting married on the first date.It's one step further.Being in business with somebody is such an intimate thing that there is no way a good working relationship would work this way.If you jump from a random message to building a business with a person, you got to wonder about the relationship.Building a business with a business partner is like building a relationship with your ideal client.You have to build a relationship with that person before they decide to buy from you.So in Network Marketing, why would it be any different?Why would I start a business with you or join your business?I've got to know you more than just Hey, how's it going?What are you up to?It happens.Don't get me wrong.There are stories of "I met this person walking my dog."I introduced the opportunity they joined, and now I'm a multimillionaire because of it.But that's like winning the lottery.You can't, it's not a business model or a business.Sorry, it's not a business plan.You cannot plan to operate your business by running into complete strangers online or offline, introducing them to this great new opportunity that's going to change everything.It just sounds scammy.Again, I love the industry.I participate in it.But the way to grow it, is not by randomly messaging people on Facebook or running into them in the dog park or whatever and offering this opportunity, and I'll prove my point.Facebook does not allow you to openly say that you're a Network Marketer trying to grow your business with your team.If you look at their terms and services, MLM, Multi-Level Marketing is clearly its own clause, like it's own subject.It's right up there with the adult industry.It's no different.Facebook doesn't allow you to advertise your ne...
