5 Deadly Mistakes Network Markters Make On Social Media

I’m seriously mentally scarred from my first 3 years in Network Marketing…

Chances are, you are too…

BECAUSE NEW (EXCITED) NETWORK MARKETER BE LIKE… 

Most Network Marketers are avoided strictly because of their accidental tactics.

What if YOU are currently being avoided and made fun of and you didn’t even know it?

I remember being WAY too excited but getting nowhere, so I’m revealing all of this to you now, so you don’t have to go on struggling for YEARS like I did…

I actually wrote a similar post a while back and it helped thousands of networkers rank up, so I’ve revised and updated this article, adding a few new-school nuggets to help you take your business up a notch…

Ready?

Below are 5 extremely important tweaks you can do that will help you build your team faster.

As a mentor said: “Put down your ego, pick up a pen”!

1. Putting Your MLM Company Name In Your Bio And Profiles:

what-they-doBack in the day, I accidentally thought having a business card filled with my company and product features was a good idea, but NOPE, lol. 

If you thought people would see your company’s name in your bio and then reach out and ask for more information about it, then you’ve probably been confused and struggling for a while now…

I mean it’s important to have pride and believe in what you do, but here’s what happens:

You immediately KILL their curiosity, and CURIOSITY is the name of the game – it keeps them COMING for more! 

If you put your company name out there…. Your potential prospect will not reach out and ask you:

BUT what they WILL do is immediately Google your company name, and guess what’s gonna show up for them? 

They’ll see the words “scam” and kinds of negativity, because Google and the internet is the bathroom stall of information.

So… 

Social Platforms used (wrong) will be your biggest repellent!

If you want your prospects to actually SHOW UP to make an educated decision, (so they don’t say “no” before they even know what they’re saying “no” to), then they must see your personal value first, and be attracted to you

*Tip:
Have bullets in your bio that show your VALUE. (How are you valuable to THEM?)

You’ll want to have language and benefits that drive them nuts with curiosity so they need to find out more about you!

Note: (Your story about your pain/frustrations, and how you found a solution will be your #1 asset).  

This creates interest, (rather than instantly repelling your best prospects.)

When you give them enough to they think they already know what it is, then you satisfy their curiosity.

Why would they have to show up to learn more if they “already know what it is”! 

This is why they are not showing up or asking for more. 

2. Build Your VALUE 

Yesterday another Facebook friend copy-n-pasted me in messenger about his “ground floor opportunity” with “the best comp plan in the industry”…

Ever heard that one before? 

I messaged him back:

“Well man, thank you for the offer and for thinking of me! I won’t be able to shift focus on what we’re doing right now, but stick in there man, I’ll be cheering you on! If you have the right coaches, take enough action and work hard enough on yourself to gain the skills you need, you’ll become ultra valuable, and you’ll attract great people!”

(This was my nice way of saying “after you grow to STOP being pushy and salesy.”)

I can crack jokes about this (because I used to do it too), but this guy just being way too careless, trying to “get” me into his business.  

He then continued to spray me down with the “most aggressive comp plan and amazing products” and how “it’s going to be a Billion dollar company” and all of the usual points. 

But big leaders will quickly let you know:

It doesn’t matter that your company is “the fastest growing” and “in momentum” if you’re not valuable in your prospect’s eyes.

*And when you’re doing it wrong, it’s a nightmare, no matter which business you’re in.

So would it be ok if I just told you the TRUTH?  

Ok…

The comp plans are the same for everyone, in every business. The products are the same for every single person, in every single business.

So why do some people make ridiculous amounts of income, while most others, (97% of distributors), spend more money than they make?

Only ONE thing left – YOU. The only thing that matters.

People aren’t joining the product or the comp plan. They are joining YOU.

So it is most crucial to get today’s education and specialized Social Marketing skills that make you valuable and have solutions to people’s problems.  

Next…

3. “Selling” vs. “Enrollment”:

If you’re like I was, you believe the products/service of our company are the greatest things in the world known to man and “everyone will want it”!

BUT, the fact is your prospect hates to be “sold”, and still thinks they are “too busy” and “not interested”. 

 …  at first

Blurting out “I’m looking for someone who wants to make $$…. or  join my team, private message me!” or posting a picture of some product actually makes your high-caliber prospects run the other way.

They have become immune to any “salesy” social media posts!

And even more deadly is that their subconscious mind says, “oh, no no no… I don’t want to do anything where I ruin my relationships and become avoided like that, so I am most definitely not interested in whatever “that” is!”

Here’s why:

People aren’t on Social Media to buy things.

They are there to be social and connect with people, so you must have the skills to interrupt the pattern, catch attention, create curiosity, speak to their problems, engage, build trust and credibility, build a relationship back up, share a story, convert, etc… 

And here’s the deal:

Most people DO NOT see themselves working with you or your company, or using some unfamiliar product on first exposure. 

However, if your prospect relates with “why” you’re doing it, (on a subconscious level, after you get honest and vulnerable, and tell a compelling story), then they’ll probably enroll themselves

Then it will be their idea to find a solution for their own problems. 

So instead of trying to selling them stuff or get them in, you can gain the skills to dig a little deeper so you can enroll them without having to “chase” them. 

Which leads to a funny tweak you may want to change immediately… (seriously, like right now)… 

4. Go SLOW: (Yep, you heard me right!)

People don't care how much u knowIf you’ve been going at a slow painful pace, and you hate it, then STOP going too fast with your prospects and customers…

These days, everyone is trying to sell something on the internet, so most people have the “blinders” on. 

So when you try to go too fast with people, (if you don’t care to build a relationship and probe for some powerful ways to provide real value for them), your business will go extremely slow, or not at all.

If you’re still doing all the spam posts with your company name and logo all over the “before and after” pics, with pictures of products, saying “lose weight, ask me how” and “private message me if you’re interested”, you’re going to continue to get absolutely no engagement from any of your posts.

People’s “sales filter” is on HIGH, so even the words “if you’re interested” make them run the other way!

There must be way more thought and skill involved if you’re going to be using social media today. 

I see way too many posts out there with barely a few “likes” on their posts. It’s almost like they’re posting in a different language! 

On the other hand, if you come with mega value first, (and no strings attached), and you take the time to care – to be interested in people, and go slow, (by building a real relationship first and finding out what results they would want in their lives) – then your business will actually go fast because you build trust and credibility…

…and people only buy from people they trust.

Yep, they only join people who are valuable to them, and the more value you put out there, the more credibility you will build. 

As you can see, people who have a lot of credibility with their network tend to do very well in this type of business.

All day every day, you can see people trying to be interesting on the platforms right?

“Hey look at me, look at me, I’m interesting! I have something interesting!” LOL

So how do you differentiate?

You can be interested.

Always be curious… probing to know more about others!

And how can you even help someone if you don’t know what they want?

If you don’t get to know them, then you will only know what YOU want, and trust me, they don’t care what you want!

They only care about their own problems…

So find out what they want!

And finally…

5. Discover Attraction Marketing :

marco-camera-adNetwork Marketing!

Now you’ll really start to notice the main word in there:

MARKETING“!

It’s not called Network “Invade Everyone’s Space on Instagram And TikTok With Flashy Products and SPAM”! LOL 

I can joke like this, because I made all the mistakes too! haha! 

I know they told you:

  • Write down 50 contacts. Connect on Social Media. Use the scripts. Message every one of them! 
  • Make business cards and a Facebook group and wear your T-shirts with your company name on ’em so you can spam everyone online, on the street, and on the coffee shop wall!
  • Throw that spaghetti on the wall, and don’t worry about all that rejection, those people are just negative dream-crushers!
  • Chase dis-interested 9to5 skeptics who think their dead-end job is way cooler than your million-dollar network marketing business!

Should I go on? 

They told me the same old school stuff. Nothing wrong with it, but for me, it wasn’t the most efficient and we just didn’t have the time for everything.  

If you’re like I was, you’re frustrated and anxiously looking for a way to work smarter, at a higher level, so you can attract high-caliber leaders and build a real business.  

I’ll tell you now:
Done wrong, it’s a freaking nightmare, (offline and/or online).

You’ve probably found out by now, the time and effort it takes to convince skeptics one by one can really take away your precious time and slow your business down… 

But I’ll also tell you this: 

Done RIGHT, it’s a DREAM!

Now, imagine a way to get your information in front of perfectly aligned buyers who are already interested in your products on the social media platforms. 

This is WAY more fun than trying to convince “Uncle Manny”, the overweight cola-drinking chain smoker with High Blood Pressure and Diabetes, that he can make millions, when he’s just fine at his dead-end job watching WWE wrestling and football all weekend! LOL

This is exactly how we went from wasting time, getting stood up at home parties and Saturday trainings, to personally enrolling over 90 people into our business in under 6 months… 

You literally wake up to messages (from qualified buyers and hungry entrepreneurs), coming to YOU, asking for appointments to learn more about you and your business. 

To discover how to recruit with no rejection on Social Media, GO HERE.

Yes, it takes a few hours to learn, but it’s SO WORTH IT!

I can’t tell you how good it feels to wake up and have way too many people to talk to, who are already interested!

Heck, what about just being able to relax at dinner with your family instead of feeling anxious trying to think of smooth ways to bring up your network marketing business to your waitress? LOL!

It was an absolute paradigm shift and changed our business forever, but most importantly, you’re gonna have way more FUN!

About the Author Marco Frank Montoya

I was an inner-city kid who changed his environment and grew to become a world-class international professional snowboarder for over 17 years... I didn't know what I did when I did it, but now I DO. I learned a lot from that and lived an extraordinary lifestyle, so as you can imagine, I could not go back to a "the norm". I was "psychologically un-employable"... Through years of launching, building and promoting several businesses, I quickly realized that the more "successful" we became, the more BUSY we got, (and the less TIME freedom I had). The lack of freedom and quality time with my kids had me searching for solutions and investing into personal development and financial education. Then I searched out and found the most beautifully powerful business models and mentors in the world and they changed my life forever. So grateful. I've done this now for over a 15 years, and absolutely LOVE to pay it forward. I now coach and guide entrepreneurs on how to brand yourself, market your businesses online for multiple streams of income (from anywhere in the world), and protect the assets you've built, so you can be a #FreedomFam too! : )
