84-Why People Leave MLMIt is well known that people leave network marketing businesses all the time. More than half of all people who join our business opportunity leave in less than a year! This is understandable, because most people who sign up for our industry don’t get the right training or are not prepared to handle running a real business. Keep in mind the 80/20 rule: 80% of people slack off in this industry, while only 20% end up doing all of the work!

The main reason why people quit this industry is because they don’t really understand how network marketing works. Success is not an instant destination. Success is a pathway, taken over time and that requires hard work and learning. They look at the pot of gold at then end of the rainbow, and don’t want to think about the hard work it will take to reach it. Then they blame the system or they blame their upline for not making it easy for them.

Only focusing on that pot of gold means that you miss out on the best part of this business - becoming a leader in the field. You can’t build strong relationships and build your business if you are only looking out for yourself. You can’t use other people for profit and expect to succeed. You will lose your integrity and the respect of others.

Once you take the time to study this business opportunity and see how it really works, you will come to understand that the time you spend learning will help you to pass it on to others in your downline. Just because you are ready to make it doesn’t mean everyone else is on the same page. Some downlines grow faster than others. You need to work with all of them as you learn from them.

Nothing is more frustrating than a nagging upline. You are not the boss! You are their leader. Your downline left their regular jobs to work for themselves. Don’t become another nagging boss, or you risk losing them.

Be your network marketing team’s biggest fan. When they come to you for help or support, give it to them. Don’t focus only on your profits. Take care of your network, and they will bring you profits naturally. This is the key to lowering attrition in your network marketing business.

    Thanks! Its always good to reminded of the simple things. We all can become focused on the turnover and forget that we need to lead and motivate the downlines. Good job reminding us in an upbeat way!

    You’re spot on. I really didn’t know a lot about MLM, which is why I never felt that comfortable with it. Once I learned more about it all, I was all about it and I’m happier for that.

    This is very true. When people really put effort into a thing, they often have much more positive results. Narrowminded focus on profits is a good way to kill business fast. If all aspects of the business- including that crucial network marketing team- are attended to, more prospects will flourish. Thanks for the great article, it really drove points home.
