In fact, there are a number of websites that give training to its members. But, ultimately, it is up to the IBO to attend the assorted trainings. The tainings are comprised of periodic opportunity calls, setting goals, show how to sponsor 4 to 6 members by handing out DVD’s, discount program brochures, show how to get people to watch your DVD, do 3 way call, show how to use scripts when calling prospects, and more.Ultimately, the trainings instruct IBOs how to invite prospects to a presentation, like the DVDs, opportunity call, IBO website, 3 way calls, etc. Using such methods can be difficult for many people. Using tools is great, but first you have to find the prospects to talk to and usually, like in AmeriPlan, it begins with family and friends. If you are using these methods, without much success, don’t despair. Many have used these strategies and failed. The problem is family and friends should not be your target market. Secondly, this sets up many IBOs, who probably have never had a business before, to fail. Not a good start and ultimately, if they continue to deal with rejection and more failure, in 30-90 days, they quit.In conclusion, creating a business is a lot of hard work. Most people, who are just starting a business with an MLM or network marketing company, are never told the realities of this and they usually don’t find out until they have exhausted a lot of time and money trying to build a business. If they were informed, you would be able to filter out those who are just seeking to get rich from those who are serious about having a business opportunity. This might help with the poor attrition rate one recognizes in the network marketing industry.
