Rejection turns into Confirmation

How did I know if MLM is really for me?

Is it worth spending my evenings after work and my weekends
convincing a bunch of skeptical people about the goodness of
MLM? Or debating with them whether your products are the
best!

Instead of spending time with your family, you are cooked up
in your study room pounding on the phone and calling,
inviting people to your Business Opportunity Meeting,
following-up with your indifferent prospect. And you wonder
if should you press on or give up?

Sounds familiar? ;)

Let me tell you my story...

Some years back, I was rejected for a Regional Sales
position with an European MNC. The reason according to the
executive search company, they do not usually provide one,
was because I am not aggressive enough. I am not of salesman
material.

They needed someone who can bring in the numbers, in other
words, a Selling Machine!

As you know, right after school, I started out as a life
insurance salesman. Even when I was in school, I was already
peddling T-shirts during the school holidays, selling
candies in ChinaTown during Chinese New Year Season.

I always thought that sales was in my blood. I am always
talking to people, building rapport with them and finally
closing the sale.

I cannot believe they rejected me! I was jumping mad!

But how did they know? You must be wondering.

They made me take a Psychometric Test. It is a set of about
30 questions, no right or wrong answers, just your honest
and frank opinion on certain issues. They studied my scores
and concluded that I am more suitable to be a Teacher or a
Coach than a salesman.

According to the results, it said that I am not driven by
money, I care more about people than I do about money.

It is still true. ;)

Bottomline, I can sell but I have the potential to be more
than just a salesman and they were only looking for a
salesman.

In short, a Psychometric Test can help you learn more about
yourself - for example, about your personality, emotional
intelligence, creativity, leadership style, selling skills,
team role preferences, relationship skills, ability to
handle stress and mental toughness in business and at work.

It turns out that this Rejection is really a Confirmation of
my belief and conviction in the Network Marketing industry
or better known as the Business School, For People Who Like
Helping People!

Network Marketing is fun for me because I focus on the
people, and not on the products or just the money. The money
or profit is critical to any business but if you start
teaching and leading the people FIRST, the money will
follow.

The truth is, some people need more than just money, they
need to CHANGE first, a complete makeover and guess what,
they need people like us to HELP them make that change.

I recommend some network marketing businesses because they
truly do focus on building or rebuilding in some cases, the
person, and then the person can go on to build their own
business.

So if you feel like you are in a slump and you are not
making enough (or any) progress in Network Marketing.

Feel like you're unable to get out of the rut? Do yourself a
big favour, take an online Psychometric Test.

Find out who you really are deep inside, and for all you
know, MLM might not be for you afterall. The world stills
need people to operate in many other levels. ;)

Be true to yourself!
