Don't let yourself be bullied into a home business

By John Wallen

Just like many others in a home business, I take my networking seriously. But I will say one thing I will not tolerate, and that's when someone is kind of bullied into an opportunity by someone that is good at over coming objection. I would not want someone in my downline that when the emotion wears off, they will have nothing but regrets about being talked into a business.

If you want to be in a business, a home business is a affordable way to get started. But when you get a call from the pit bull networker, don't let them get going with you, just tell them immediately to get you off their list. That way of marketing a business gives this industry a bad name.

A person that builds their business this way, is not going to dedicate themselves in the long run to helping you succeed and keeping you up to speed. If you don't keep educating and passing information along, your downline will fail right along with you. Couching someone for an hour then never keeping in touch, is a network disaster.

When getting started, you had better keep your budget in mind and do the right things in your beginning marketing. It's not a good idea to keep your fingers crossed that the money you do spend at first will produce results. You will fail, and the sad thing is, this is how you will be coached at the start of your business.

This is an industry that is full of marketers that are very good at overcoming objection. They are so hard wired at the way they look at things, it's damaging for the rest that are doing it the right way. They will kill this industry if they keep pushing their business as the cure for anyone to get out of debt quickly.

I have lived and learned in my home business. I get calls from marketers that don't realize I am a successful networker. I will let them spew their business opportunity at me, then throw them a few curve balls to see how good they really are, then give them a website address that will teach them the right way. You don't know how many grunts then hang ups I get from of all people, network marketers.

Now if your thinking about a home business, or already have started one. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about when it comes to these kinds of phone calls yourself. And all I have to say is, there's a lot of wrong ways being taught in this wonderful industry you need to be aware of. The sooner you get on board with a marketing system that actually works, the sooner you will have success!
