Top Countries for MLM

Randy Gage — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:06:46 +0000

Here’s an interesting article from Direct Selling News. They rank the top countries for MLM and Direct Selling and list the ones that do over US$1 billion annually. It makes for some interesting reading. See how it compares to your organization.

There are some countries you expect to see at the top like US, Japan and Germany and a few surprises as well. Just use some critical thinking as you study it.

Know that many countries (particularly in Latin America) the numbers are skewed much more to direct selling, not real MLM. And other countries are very underreported because much of this data comes from DSA membership, which is not as strong in some countries. And there are other factors like corruption, black market, cross border work, which affect reporting. For instance I would suggest that Russia is actually three or four spots higher.

Take a look here and let me know what you think.

The Lesson for You…

So I got an email Monday from a new teammate of mine. And he mentioned that he wanted to talk to me about “that prosperity stuff” because he is out of work and is running down his savings. And of course I had an opportunity meeting last night, which of course I immediately invited him to.

He wrote back to say he couldn’t come, because he pays pool on Tuesday nights. There’s a lesson here for all of us!

The Discipline of Discipline

Discipline is a weird thing. We all think we hate it. But we all need it. Because it’s a very ironic thing.

Freedom comes from discipline.

Want to know the difference between multi-million-dollar earners and the people who struggle? We build the business when we don’t feel like doing the business.

So how you doing on that?

Are You Coachable?

We’re doing a continuing series on what it takes to be successful in network marketing. One of the most important things is to be coachable.

Even though you may have great experience in other areas, network marketing is a whole different world.

Sales techniques don’t duplicate here. Corporate hierarchy doesn’t work. Many other rules are different.

Your sponsorship line has gone before you and found what works. So let them counsel you. And here’s the issue…

Most people have no problem following counseling when they agree with it. But if you agree with it – you probably didn’t need the counseling.

The best coaching you receive is probably the stuff you don’t want to hear. So how you doing on that?

Are You Willing to Face Your Fears?

Last post I said you must be willing to change to achieve success. A big part of this usually is facing your fears.

Are you afraid to talk to people? Fearful of rejection? Petrified of speaking in front of a group?

Good. Because knowing what your fears are – and to be willing to face them – is where the breakthroughs come.
