During the past 17 years, many leaders came to me and discussed about this topic, “Why people keep changing company? ” In fact, it is one of the common phenomena we’ve seen in the network marketing industry. So why is it so? Why can’t people commit to a network marketing company for long term?
Everybody has a different reason. A few common reasons including these: They aren’t making any money, they expected that their business will be immediate solution to their money problem, they follow their uplines jumping around different company, they do not zerorize themselves and relearn, the product is not selling so well as they wished, they blame that their uplines are not helping them, etc.
Personally I find that very sad. Truthfully, how can you accomplish much when you didn’t commit to it? They could have achieved something if they have picked the right company and grow it consistently. This is why I always feel grateful that I have made the right choice 17 years ago, and I am proud to share with people that I’ve spent all my effort into my network with the same company all this while.
So based on my personal experience, these are 2 key points I feel that why people keep changing company~
#1: They do not have the Entrepreneur Mindset
- They don’t treat the network marketing as their own business
- They always have a lot of problem because they expect someone else to solve their problem.
Doing network marketing business is exactly like building your own business. You need to treat it like your own business and handle every aspect of it. If you’re not putting effort and spend time to build the network, no matter how many companies you change, you’ll still have the same problem. If you use the same mindset to the new company, you’ll still get the same result that you had before.
So, you need to have Entrepreneur Mindset and you got to put effort to grow it consistently.
#2: They could not find the Sense of Belonging in the Company
Many of the leaders are capable to build their network and feel that they have already developed a good leadership in running the business. Yet somehow at a point of time, they still think that it is time to change company. Why is that happened?
In this Industry, when we share with people about the opportunity, product, compensation plan, everybody will claim that their company is the best. However after a while, you found out that the promise was not delivered. Even sometimes some company who claimed that they are big, also end up closing down and a lot of people suffer!
This could be due to there’s no transparency between the management, the top leaders, and with the small leaders. So when there’s problem, the top management or leaders are just trying hard to cover up but do not openly share with their small leaders. Or when small leaders try to ask for answer, they are not told about the truth. Eventually there’ll be no trust in between them and people start to lose confidence about the company.
So how to justify whether we have found a good company?
The feeling of “Home”
When you are looking for a lifetime partner, or someone you want to marry as husband or wife, if you target to find someone who is more handsome or more beautiful, you will end up finding no one. A right Lifetime partner must be someone you feel like “Home” when you are together with them.
Same thing in Network Marketing, you cannot keep on searching and changing company, because you are actually depleting the people who trust you.
No matter how good the company is, the most important is the people that you are going to work together, do they give you the feeling like how you feel at “Home”? Do you have that kind of security like you are with your parents, Brother and sister? Do you have the feeling that you can trust them fully and work together with them for a long time?
Sometimes, don’t just believe in what you see or what you hear, but rather believe in how you feel in your heart.
If you are Leader, you know how you feel. Choose the people that you feel like family when you work with, and you all can work like a team. If these people are all around the company, I suppose you have made a good choice!
