MLMer’s/Network Marketers Know What CEO’s Are Just Now Learning
I love MLM and/or network marketing. I know a lot of people think it is a giant pyramid scheme (or “pyramid thing” as most people say to me) but in reality, every major corporation is a pyramid in nature.
But the big difference is that those of us in MLM and network marketing have known for a very long time what many CEO’s do not know or are just finding out.
My wife has started watching the show “Undercover Boss.” It is a show where a CEO or high ranking corporate executive goes undercover and into their company to learn how things are really going on the bottom ranks. Each week the CEO/executive’s eyes are opened to the struggle people go through between work and personal life. Some employees receive something very nice for sharing their struggles as a sign that the CEO really cares about them as a person.
But the ironic thing is this: For a profession that is attacked from every angle, MLM/network marketing, we understand that it is people that build our business (and their business, too). Every major MLM leader I have had the chance to know all care about the people on their teams and take the time personally to work with them, help them, let them vent, or whatever is needed.
I’ve seen time after time where a leader will take the time to get to know their new people who are producing. I’ve even received calls from my upline support team when I joined a company.
If corporate CEO’s would learn from MLM, they’d realize that the ability for a business to grow comes from the people in the field and not shareholders.
When an MLM leader works with someone in the field to help them achieve success, their revenue grows.
So while the CEO’s on “Undercover Boss” are figuring it out, just know that real leaders in MLM have known this for a lot longer.
