I’ve been doing a lot surfing the web lately, looking at lead generation prospecting tools as, like happens to all of us, our growth in our MLM has currently plateaued. I was looking everywhere for that magik answer that would solve all our challenges and bring a steady stream of prospects charging towards our door.
Then we had the opportunity to attend a conference put on by our company. The big wigs are only down here once a year and I was hesitant to make the effort to attend… it was over 2hrs drive away, I am still recovering from a badly sprained ankle and fractured elbow, what would we do with our daughter so that we could both attend as I can’t drive at the moment….you know the excuses we can all come up with.
But go we did. We made the effort. And I am really glad that we made the effort. I have come out re-energised and reminded of why I joined this business in the first place. But the BIGGEST wake up call for me, was that I don’t need to be looking for lead gen tools, I just need to follow the system that we have been taught, (which is actually ridiculously simple) to genuinely connect with people and to give to give, not give to get. Live and behave with authenticity and when the time is right for them, I will attact the right people into my business.
Your business is not going to build perfectly and consistently, but you need to be consistent in your habits and actions. Success in MLM is not a get rich quick, overnight thing. As I said in a previous post, I have heard it said it takes 2-5 years of diligent work to build a really successful MLM business.
I encourage all of you, whatever your business, to make the effort, to use the resources that your company provides, to attend any and all trainings that you can – I’m sure we have all heard the quote “Success leaves clues”. Follow those clues, model the behaviour of the successful leaders in your business.
To your success, Sharon
