Stop Recruiting

Recruiting this is a topic that seems to be very popular among MLM experts.  Think about it, I don't know you or who you look up to, but if your experience in MLM has been anything like mine was you are listening to someone who preaches that.  When it comes down to real life and what actually works recruiting is dumb.

So if recruiting doesn't work why do people preach on it. Well it is  good for some people and a lot of companies today aren't legit so essentially they pay you to recruit. But speaking as someone who has been burned by scams, and felt the pain that is recruiting. It is not something that I would suggest.

One of the reasons I don't like or even condone recruiting is because in order to make money with recruiting you have to recruit a TON of people.  But, in reality you can only successfully mentor 2-3 people at a time.  Because of this fact,  if you choose to recruit you will experience high attrition rates and your team will not be loyal.

So at this point you should have realized that if you want to build a strong business that will last untill you die, no matter what happens to your company you need to stop recruiting.

You may be asking yourself how do I build a business without recruiting people.  That is actually a fantastic question.  You see MLM despite what the gurus say is not so much a sales business as it is a teaching&mentoring business.  So your goal should be not to recruit but to sponsor and mentor your people.  But in order to be successful at this industry there is one skill you need to really have mastered.  That skill is building relationships, without ulterior motives.  So my suggestion for you is to just start listening to others truly care about what's going on with them.  If their is an opportunity for you to suggest your business casually say " are you open to other avenues of income?"  If they say yes qualify them.

Hope that was helpful.
