Why Your Business Partners MUST Be Teachable & Coachable

With out a doubt, one of the secrets in MLM or Network Marketing is finding the RIGHT people to work with. It doesn't matter if you have just one person in your organization or if you have thousands. You want to work with the right people. The really big hitters in this industry all know that their time is absolutely critical, so they learn to work with the right people. One of the key things to look for in a MLM Business Partner is that they be Teachable and Coachable.

People who ARE Teachable and Coachable are people who will simpy follow your lead or your system. They are the ones that you tell to use the tools and they use the tools. They ask good questions. They are exciting to work with because they follow the plan, and they get results.

People who AREN'T Teachable and Coachable want to challenge everything you say. They drain your batteries. It's painful to work with them because they're going to waste your time, Ignore what you say, and then blame YOU when they don't get results.

Experienced networkers know to work with people where they are. If someone won't listen, you really can't make them. So as a Network Marketer with hopes of reaching your dreams and helping other people, you have to learn how to pour your energy into the ones who WILL listen.

Most inexperienced network marketers have this experience exactly backwards. They pour all their energy into dragging people across the finish line, and leaving the people who really want success to fend for themselves. Unfortunately when you drain your batteries on the wrong people, you don't have any energy left for the good people who deserve your time.

So what do I do with this? It's simple. Reserve your time to personally work with people who deserve your time. When you give your personal time to people who waste your time it leaves you spent, and your it leaves your deserving team members with out your best. Support the rest of your partners with your group meetings, trainings, and conference calls. When they are ready to move forward you can always give them more of your support.
