With a ton of business systems promising to make your dreams come true, how do you objectivly select one that will help you build your business. How do you know which ones really deliver or which ones take your money and really don't give you much value or more importantly the real 'How To' to get your business making money?

How many times have you seen this:

"Just sign up with system XYZ for $XX a month, buy our (overpriced) leads (that were looking for a free computer or 'never signed up for anything online), plug them in and let the system do the work." Yeah, right.

Selecting a Network Marketing Business System is like walking down the midway at the state fair. There are people yelling at you from both sides that you should come see them and spend your hard earned money at their booth. It's like a Clint Eastwood movie, some of it's good, some of it's bad and some of it's just plain ugly. How do you decide where to invest your money with all the chatter? How do you really know before you put your money on the table, even with systems that have a FREE Trial Period?

Don't waste your time and money...

I've found out over ten plus years, you really don't know what a system can offer until you use one for a month or more. Most of the systems I tried have been a total waste of money with the exception of learning what not to do. That gets really expensive after a while and is really frustrating when you're trying to build an organization and teach your new business partners what to do to make money quickly so they can stay in business. I believe that the 95% to 98% drop out rate in the Network Marketing Industry is directly related to systems making claims and promises that can't be delivered. A new associate gets started with a system that says they will make your business easy and all you have to do is fill in the blanks and refer your prospects to your new 'system'. Then, usually nothing happens.

One of the biggest problems I see...

I believe the clutter and promises of 'easy wealth' have jaded this industry over the years and is now accepted by some as the way to market and attract new business. The 'average person' (if an average person actually exists) that everybody talks about, doesn't stand a chance in this business without some really hands on help in trying to figure out proper marketing techniques. I see people say "Network Marketing isn't about sales, it's about sharing". I say their wrong, it is about selling, and sharing has absolutely nothing to do with this business. Now that may rub some people the wrong way but, sharing to me doesn't mean telling someone to buy your products because they are good for you or will reduce your phone bill.

Sharing is like breaking your cinnamon bun in half and 'giving' the big half to someone else, with no expectation of getting half of theirs back. The part most people (95% to 98%) don't get is, it's about MARKETING. Without proper marketing you have no sales. You have no business and no income. You have a 95% to 98% drop out rate of unsatisfied people who thought they were going to get rich the easy way.

If you're using a system, is it really teaching you how to market?

Most systems don't really teach you how to market effectively. They don't 'show' you how to market effectively, generate your own leads for your business and find customers that want what you have to offer. Any system should take you by the hand and 'show' you how to market. A system should use audio, video and have support in place that you can actually get in touch with when something just doesn't quite make sense and fall into place.

Are you ready to quit?

It's evident that 95% to 98% of the people who have been involved in the past with a Network Marketing Business don't know how to market. There are still people who haven't quit yet, that 'will' throw in the towel and give up. They don't have to quit. All they have to do is learn proper marketing techniques.

Quit throwing mud at the wall to see how much sticks!

If you're in business and thinking about giving up, get a copy of Ann Sieg's The renegade Network Marketer. There's a 90 day money back guarantee so you have nothing to lose. If you understand Ann's book and can put these marketing principles into practice on your own, great. If you want or need someone to take you by the hand and show you how, sign up for the Renegade University Professional version and start building a real business you can call your own today. And just so we're clear on one very important thing, The Renegade University is NOT a system. You can't buy leads and plug them into an autoresponder at the University, because there isn't one. The University teaches you how, you do the work.

Education is key in this industry and knowledge is power. Education will give you knowledge and knowledge will give you power. Use it wisely.
