MLM Mentors – Characteristics Of A Week Mentor

A good mlm mentor is an important key to success in our industry.

For years, I have been teaching others that the mentor you work with will usually have more to do with your success than your company’s compensation plan, the product or products you market, or even the particular mlm company you join. A good mentor is that important!

As a full-time networker, I talk to many others in our industry each week. I am always amazed at how many people have a lousy mentor. I am the first to acknowledge that ultimately we are all responsible for our own success or failure. However, for a large number of networkers, just working with the right mentor could make the difference between success and failure.

Unfortunately, many times people do not do realize what kind of mentor they really have until after they are in a business. Spend a few minutes thinking about your mentor. Here are some clear indicators of a poor mentor. See if any of these fit.

Always too busy to help you right now.
Not good about returning your phone calls in a timely manner, or not returning them at all.
Doesn’t seem to know how to help you build your business.
Does not have a system for you to follow.
Trying to make money off their downline by selling them tools, training materials, or leads.
Their answer to your lack of progress is always buy more leads, work harder, or similar vague answers.
Failing to follow through on promises.
Making false representations.
When you Google their name, others have reported bad experiences.
Their personality is not that of a leader.

If you are already in a business and find that your mentor is not what you deserve, you have an important decision to make. If you continue to follow the path you are already on, your odds of huge success will not be good in most cases.

If you have a significant business built and are earning good money in spite of things, search upline for someone to work with. Keep contacting people upline from you until you find the right mentor. One of the great things about network marketing is that teamwork is rewarded. Leaders in your upline have a financial interest in your success.

If you have not built a significant business yet, it may be best to cut your losses and start over with a new mentor in a new company. Learn from your experiences with this mentor. You will know better what to look for next time.

A good mentor can impact your success more than anything else. Choose your MLM mentor carefully.
