Internet MLM is a great business opportunity for women who want to have either an additional source of income or to find themselves in a new career that makes it so easy to balance home life and money making. Even though it has been considered for a business for women in the recent years, MLM has been opening doors to the business for both women and men. Though women are still the main driving force in this niche, it has been noticed that they are not proportionately represented in the CEO positions, arguably due to the low level of ambition and self-assumed confines. Never listen to those who want to impede your growth and say that MLM is only for housewives, retired old ladies and mothers taking care of their kids. There is a huge underrepresentation of purpose-driven business ladies in the leading roles and positions in today’s MLM market.
For the women who are new to the industry MLM may sound like Chinese but this simple acronym stands for Multi Level Marketing and has the essential meaning of Network Marketing. Sharing 95% of the same knowledge, skills and experiences with regular Network Marketing, MLM is no different from any other marketing initiative. Peculiar to this type of marketing will be basic computer skills and general understanding of internet marketing strategies.
However, for an absolute majority of women involved in MLM, the two most vital skills are already in place. The skills are flexibility to learn new things and patience in dealing with people. Women in MLM always have an edge over men thanks to exactly these two traits. Patience and desire to learn moves mountains in this industry and is a sure way to success. Whereas men tend to expect to go from 50 USD per week to 5000 USD per week in just a few weeks, women realize and accept the fact that this 1000% growth could take up to a year. Being emotionally comfortable with such a timetable, women eventually achieve greater results.
However, I am about to give you some advice while you are considering MLM as your career. If you are comfortable with all of it, then this job opportunity is definitely for you:
1. Do not be intimidated by the technological and ever changing nature of the internet. Occasionally you might have a feeling that you are lagging behind and can’t keep up with the latest technology and strategies in web MLM. You will see that there are new things daily, almost hourly, appearing in the vast ocean of internet. But you most learn how to swim in this ocean and that could take some time.
2. If you are new to any business, it is always unnerving when you are in the spot light. And you will need to learn how to make confident presentations, even videos of yourself. After all you are your own commercial director and manager, and no business hides its key representatives from potential customers. You are you own representative and if you don’t do it, no one will do it for you.
3. Small talk is your tool and not your main activity. Spend just as much time as needed and no more making small talk with your clients. Try to get to the point once it’s relevant and natural.
4. Eventually, you will have to consider outsourcing for you fast growing company. After all, your company should grow. You need to predict when and what responsibilities you will need to delegate and outsource to others. If somebody can do it as well as you for cheaper hourly rate - outsource the task.
Statistics shows companies that have female representation in CEOs are doing 20% to 65 % better than those who rely solely on men. Evidently, you can contribute to any MLM business, provided you show the best you know and learn what you can. The inclination to equal 50/50 male/female representation not only in social issues but in business as well, is intricately interwoven into our social well being. Have you ever thought whether we would have this financial crisis, had women presence been stronger at Wallstreet? You never know!
Women in MLM so often achieve success because they do not compare their results with others’ as much as men do. Women take their time and plan accordingly, aiming at personal success and at not public failure of rivals. Besides, successful women do not hesitate to ask and join together to help each other.
