MelissaMcCloud.net… Teaching Stay-At-Home Moms To Be Work-At-Home Moms!

 
If you had a choice, would you prefer to learn how to play basketball from Michael Jordan or from a benchwarmer on your local high school junior varsity team?

The answer is obvious: there is tremendous value in learning a skill from someone who already has it mastered.

Many multi-level companies offer mentoring or coaching, and you want to be taught by someone who isn’t just figuring it out.  You do not need to be signed up by the top income earner in your company to make it in your business, but you will benefit by having access to other successful distributors that are willing to work with you.

When I first began my home-based business, I was sponsored by someone who was working part-time around her two children.  She had been with the company for four years, and was putting about ten hours a week into her business.  Her check was about $4,000 a month (and growing)!  She reached out to me almost daily, and made sure I was taking the necessary steps to build my business.  She offered me the opportunity to contact her by phone and email whenever I needed to. What a relief this was to know that I didn’t have to go at it alone.

When I started recruiting into my own business, I didn’t have a powerful income story of my own to promote, nor did I have the skill set to teach another person how to get going.  But, I did have an incredible sponsor that did!  I was able to put my new prospects in front of her to share her story, and when I signed up new distributors, they were trained by my sponsor, not me.  I used three-way phone calls to connect us all on the same line, and was able to learn how to coach someone else in this business while I listened to my sponsor.  New team members two and three levels below me were also trained by my sponsor until I was ready to take on the role of leading my team.

This is how network marketing works.  You don’t need to be incredible to build an organization and a career level income with this business model; you DO need to leverage the team and the structure in place by plugging into the successful people.

If your sponsor is not growing their business and teaching you how to do the same, just look upline to find someone who is.  There are people in your organization that will help you.  Because of my sponsor, I was able to grow my income to match her $4000 monthly income in less than a year.  Did I understand what I was doing?  Well, not entirely… but what can you possibly know in just your first year?  That’s the beauty of network marketing: you can earn as you learn if you are willing to leverage the successes of others to build your organization.

A saying in my business is, “The quickest way to success is to model success!”  Differently said, just  find someone that is successful, do what they do, and you will have what they have.  In network marketing, it is totally a-okay to be a copycat!  (In fact, your mentor would prefer that you are!)
