Network business: myths and reality

Our first lesson will focus on myths about the essence of network business. You have probably heard “yarns” that it is a form of extortion, or that it is a kind of cult that turns people into zealots. These rumors have nothing to do with reality, of course.

In this lesson, you will learn what people think about working in network marketing. We bet that some people imagine a salesperson with a checkered bag who annoyingly knocks on doors trying to sell a potato peeler. This is not the case, of course. Let's look at how things really are.

Money in network business is one of the most controversial subjects. Unsuccessful networkers complain that they have to work nearly at a loss. Some network companies, however, promise easy money without much effort. You may have already guessed that both are not true. How much can you really earn in network business? In this lesson, we will discuss the misconceptions about money and try to find answers.

People have stereotypes about those involved in network business: a person with no education or occupational skills who took up the business out of despair. They will do anything to sell a good: gain trust, flatter, lie and manipulate potential customers. They won't take a No for an answer and will pester you until you – just to get rid of them – agree to buy. How true is this stereotype? We'll look at it in the last lesson of our course.
