The Hidden Truth behind Network Marketing

How great your company seems to be, there are some things that they just aren't telling you.

Hi, my name is Keith Jenkins. I have been involved in network marketing, mlm, and internet marketing for over 15 years. During that time I have personally sponsored over 500 people into various organizations.

I have learned a few things in that time. One of the things that I have learned is that the companies themselves just are divulging all of the information that they know.

I think some of the biggest mistakes people make is to think that they are going to be able to build a business online without work. I've seen many that claim "no sponsoring, no selling, no recruiting" Well if this were true, then the business would never move any product!!

I have found just the opposite to be true. Building a successful business online is very difficult, frustrating, and requires long hours of focused, dedicated, committed work.

There seems to be an educational process that people need to go through in order to learn some of the basics of marketing online. Most people just won't take the time, effort, energy and money to do those things they need to do.

Here are some of the other facts that you need to know.

Less than 3% Of the people that actually get involved in network marketing or marketing of some sort will fail. It doesn't matter how great your company is, it doesn't matter how awesome the compensation plan is, you still have to go out and market it.

In order to earn a significant income, you will need to personally sponsor about 300 people. This is due to the "funnel" system. The funnel system refers to the fact that at every step of the way you are going to have drop off. Let me give you an example.

Let's say you get 1000 people to your website. Well just because someone looks at your website, doesn't mean that they will sign up. Let's say that out of 1000 views, you get 10 people to sign up (that is actually a high number for most websites)

Out of those 10, Let's say they upgrade and order your program from you. Out of that 10 less than 1 would actually implement the system.

Less than 0 would actually profit from the program more than what they invested.

So you can start to see the problem. It's not how many people join with you, it's how many people join with you and then actually do the things that they need to do in order to build a large business!! And unfortunately that number is less than 3%.

So with that 3% figure, how many people are you going to have to personally sponsor before you will find those 3 out of a 100, that will actually do something productive?

Our research shows us that you will need to personally sponsor about 300 people. Are you up for that? Do you know what you need to do? Are you willing to do it? Time will tell.

This is where most companies are not telling you the truth. There is ALOT of work that you need to do. You need to get educated. You need to learn how to communicate with people. You need to learn how to be a leader. You need to become the expert.

As always, we would love comments, questions, or concerns on anything that we write.
