Have you ever wondered why so many people in network marketing… never actually get started? Imagine this scenario: you join network marketing, you’re excited about the opportunities opening up for you, and you get your first task: “Make a contact list – 100 people you can talk to about the business.” And suddenly… you stop. You feel blocked. And at this very moment, 95% of people drop out of the business before they even begin.
Key Lesson: How to Create an Effective Contact List
Most people struggle with their contact list for three reasons:
- Lack of confidence – “Do I even want to do this?”
- Internal dissonance – “Am I selling out my friends?”
- External pressure instead of internal understanding
Instead of creating one huge list, I propose a two-pronged approach – a product list and a business list, separately:
Product List (Customers)
These are people who:
- May be interested in products from your company
- Know such people or have regular contact with potential customers
The most important rule: don’t judge for them! Don’t assume: “They won’t buy anyway.” You’re offering an opportunity – they’ll decide for themselves. Don’t ask: “Who will definitely buy?” Ask: “Who might have a reason to be interested?”
Business List (Partners)
These are people who:
- May be interested in earning, development, new opportunities
- Have predispositions, potential, or a network of contacts
- Will bring value to your team
Important rule: don’t invite people just because you like them. Invite them because they have skills, predispositions, or influence that can strengthen your team.
“When you start in network marketing, your time is limited. That’s why it’s worth focusing on people who have potential and self-reliance. If you invite people who are not motivated, your role will be reduced to being a constant motivator.”
