Four reasons why MLM failure rates are still so high

A huge number of people start in the network marketing industry each month. If you are one of them, it is critical for you to really understand what are the common mistakes that you should avoid.

We can say that there are 4 key reasons why people fail in network marketing.

1. Choosing the wrong company: the majority of people who want to use the same marketing system that I am using to build my business first tell me about their mlm company and ask me if I think they made the right choice. Of course they want to make sure they signed up with a good company, because they realize that choosing the wrong company will most probably lead them to failure.

What do I call a wrong company? There are different factors here, but the key ones are the products, the management, the compensation plan, how many years the company has been in business and its financial strength.

There are companies who have stand alone, high quality products but whose management is poor and finances are bad. They have a higher chance to go out of business. Some companies have a good financial strength, a good management, but the products are not competitive or effective, or the compensation plan is not rewarding, and the company's reps will then struggle a lot and most probably quit within one year or two.

Then, if a company is not yet 5 years old, statistically it is still at great risk of going bankrupt. On the contrary, if a company is more than 25 years old and financially strong, it should stay around but the momentum phase may be so advanced that the opportunity is not as great as it once was.

2. Having the wrong upline: even when reps get involved in a good company, it is very hard for them to build their business successfully if they cannot have access to good weekly training and support. Without a strong training and support, new distributors are bound to fail.

3. Not having any system: Most people that approach me are very excited about getting started. They don't always realize that they will not succeed on their own, though. And in network marketing, even very determined people will usually fail within their first year if they don't have a system that enables them to leverage their resources.

4. Not being persistent and committed: most people who want to start a network marketing business are actually looking for a way to make money with no effort, and want to take the easy path. It can be very difficult to find people with the determination and persistence necessary to build a business. And lack of persistence is the number one reason for failure in MLM. Quitters don't succeed. And without a strong dedication from your part, even the best company, upline, or system will not be able to help you.

If you think you have the right mindset to build a business, if you can find a reputable company, with a proven system and a personal coach, you will greatly increase your chances of success in the MLM industry.
