The Jack Of All Trades Marketer: What ISN’T He Selling?

You know “that guy”.

It’s the one that pitches you on their primary business. And when you aren’t interested in it… they have 5 more different ones that they’re ready to pitch you on.

Just like the as seen on TV ads … “But, Wait! There’s More!”

As Network Marketers we understand the Entrepreneurial mindset of having multiple streams of income. But you’ve got to do it RIGHT.

I’ll answer 3 questions to show the RIGHT way to market more than one MLM

Q: When should you have more than 1 MLM company you are promoting?

A: When you’ve had success in the first one. Build 1 stream of your income SOLID for 3 years. Do it consistently, be able to quit your job, and have a steady income from it that will be able to finance your next adventure in MLM. Not only will you have the income from it. You’ll have the social proof and reputation that will make it easier for you to bring success to any business you choose to do next.

Q: How should you approach people with a 2nd opportunity?

A: Obviously you don’t present it right after they tell you NO to your first business you present to them. You sound like the little cartoon character from Rocky & Bullwinkle that used to say “Now Here’s Something You’ll Really Like”

Hopefully by the time you’ve added another MLM to your repertoire you’ve learned some people skills and know how to network. You know you can’t just pitch one business opp after another. You also know you don’t even present it to them unless they have a need and/or a want for it.

Expanding your horizons by being in more than 1 MLM means that you can appeal to more people. In natural conversation people will tell you their interests and want they want in life. If what you are involved in is a vehicle for them to get what they want, then that is what you talk to them about.

Q: How do I choose which type of MLM to add?

A: This totally depends on YOU and what your needs are. What works for me may not be best for you. But going off of the saying “if I knew then what I know now” I would “try it before you buy it” and be a customer of an MLM company before I got into promoting it as a business. There’s too many MLM products that I’ve come across that I just don’t like. They either made me sick or just flat out didn’t work. (This is why I’m not in a consumable product category)

If you’re going to market a Health & Wellness MLM product then it better actually work for you and turn you into a walking billboard. It’s going to have to be something that you are PASSIONATE about. Heck, that’s good advice for choosing your first MLM (if you haven’t found an MLM product that you’re passionate about Click Here for a breakdown on product categories to see which one fits you)

Ok,,,, 1 more question….

Q: What’s a great stepping stone for a 2nd stream of income before I’m ready for a 2nd MLM?

A: A great educational product, system or tool. Many of the prospects you will have are going to be other marketers. Most of them are going to want to stick with the MLM they already have going for them. So, wish them all the success in the world, tell them you’ll see them at the top, and ask them what they’re using to boost their Marketing skills. Chances are if they’re new they won’t know what to use. This is where you can point them in the direction of where you got your education. (Click Here for an example)

The Bigger Lesson:

Any education source in Online Marketing will tell you to become an expert on ONE THING and become the best at it and then teach it to others. Use this same theory when it comes to your primary business in MLM. Choose ONE and become a master at it. Otherwise you will just look like a Jack-Of-All-Trades….. and Master of None.
