What type of people start network marketing businesses?

All types of people succeed in Forever

It never ceases to amaze me how many different types of people start network marketing businesses. I first really understood just how diverse the backgrounds of the successful people in Forever Living are when I went to a ‘Success Day’ in Leeds recently. (A ‘Success Day’, by the way is a monthly event in different locations around the country where the company recognises the achievements of its people).

At the event, I made a point of being introduced to as many people as I could who are already in the business and who are doing well. I met one inspirational woman who had been a doctor in a hospital but had left the profession to pursue developing her Forever Living business which she was doing very successfully.

I another woman who was doing very well and had reached a senior level within the business after leaving university and being introduced to the business by her mother. One of the presenters in the day had been a ’shelf stacker’ in a supermarket and is now one of the leading people in the business. Another speaker had been in a band in the 1960’s with a hit that reached number seven in the charts above The Beatles, who then went into academia and had decided to leave to pursue his Forever Living business full time.

My sister-in-law, Cora, also introduced me to the managing director of the business, Bob Parker, who still runs his own Forever Living business, who was a very approachable man which is typical of the type of people within the business. Unlike many people in traditional companies, the people in Forever Living are happy to share their expertise in being successful in the business. In addition, their are no ‘big egos’ which makes for a more inclusive feeling in the business. This is part of the ethos.

So, you can probably see that there many people in the business from all types of backgrounds that succeed in this business. You don’t need to be a brain surgeon or a sales superstar to do well. Everyone who succeeds in the business follows a simple marketing plan and follows three principles of network marketing. I will explain these principles in my next blog entry.

An article I read today about the personality of some network marketers makes for interesting readers. It’s by Dr Robin Rushlo. I am not sure it is entirely true but it gives an insight into how energetic some people are in network marketing.
