It is not uncommon in this industry to see a person jump from one network marketing company to another. Although some of these moves are for prudent reasons, most often it is simply a person looking for greener pastures. You should spend some time evaluating the motivations behind any change you consider making.
There are a few sound business reasons for changing network marketing companies. These would include things like unethical business practices, financial instability, high leadership turnover and poor customer service or distributor support. For these types of issues a move makes good business sense. Issues like these are not only bad for your business, but they could harm your reputation as well.
Most business changes have little to do with types of issues, but are more focused on the distributor. Generally it is an issue of mindset and training that is the real heart of the desire for a change|More often than not the underlying reasons for a move are based in issues of mindset and training}. Almost weekly I meet distributors who are ready to quit when they haven’t made any money in their first two weeks of being in business. I meet others who are ready to quit when they realize that this business will take a concentrated effort over an extended period of time, not just a one week effort of an hour per day. Almost everyone of these mlm distributors say the same thing: "….just isn’t working for me."
Permit me to be very candid with you. If you are treating your business like a hobby and not like a true business, you need to eliminate your frustrations and get out altogether. A hobbyist mindset has never created profitability in this business or any other. If you are considering a change of network marketing company, but have not treated your current opportunity like a business, changing companies is not going to change your outcomes. You need to take a hard look at your underlying perspective on what a network marketing business really is.
The next issue that you need to evaluate is training. This can be both a mindset issue and an issue of application. I find that many of those who are struggling in network marketing are simply unteachable and unmotivated. They will complain about how their business is not working for them, yet they never seek out training that could radically change their outcomes. Instead they spend their time in search of a magic formula that will transform their business overnight. For example, I offer training opportunities to a large number of network marketers each and every week. I find that only about 15% of those I invite take advantage of those opportunities…yet they continue to struggle. Those figures are astonishing enough, but even more alarming is the fact that only about 5% of those that attend those trainings will actually make the effort to apply what was given to them.
The foundation for success in any network marketing opportunity has always been rooted in commitment, mindset and application of sound business practices. If you are unwilling to make long term commitments to your business, then a change of company won’t help. If you are unwilling to treat your business like a business, a change of company will still yield the same results. If you are unwilling to develop your skills and apply what you learn, your business will still falter, no matter what company you are involved with.
There are times when a change of network marketing company makes sense, but make sure your foundations are solid and your motivations are sound.
