Unfortunately, most mlm companies' network marketing training
programs consist of barely motivational meetings on conference
calls. Most mlm companies fail to teach their distributors the
basics of marketing and communications skills. This is
considered one of the major reasons for the high rate of failure
in multi-level marketing programs.
Most network marketers quit, except for the leaders, who start
looking for additional training and education. Hungry for
success, members of the latter group end up easy prey for the
current network marketing training scams.
To generate leads, these training programs sometimes use cold
calling, but for the most part they use Internet marketing
through pay-per-click advertising. Most network marketers are
not acquainted with Internet marketing, and they fail to
recognize that the sponsored links they find through search
engines are, basically, advertisements. They typically offer a
free report in exchange for a network marketer's information.
This free report doesn't reveal usually any useful information
and leaves network marketers hungry for more.
What are the characteristics of illegal network marketing
training scams and how to avoid them?
1. Illegal income claims. Typically, those mlm training scams
lead with hype, and they promise that by joining their
educational program, network marketers are guaranteed to make a
huge amount of money in their first year.
2. Fake guarantees. These training programs promise to provide a
guarantee, in writing, of their illegal income claims. In
addition, in order for their students to qualify for the
training program's refund guarantee, they have to fulfill
difficult conditions, disclosed after paying tuition; the refund
policies often require the student to regularly attend personal
conference calls five times per week for an entire year.
3. High fees. Network marketing training scams typically require
a large, one-time fee to be paid in full in advance, which
reflects the hit and run mentality.
4. No official contact information.
The marketing training Web site has no phone contact information
or physical address.
5. Manipulative aggressive closing techniques
6. Presumed trainers are not known in the industry
Those programs end up taking away the money and the dream of
those network marketers.
It is recommended that network marketers looking for further
training thoroughly investigate the network marketing training
programs in which they are interested and exercise caution in
giving out their credit card information.
