Why Are So Many Good Leaders Quitting MLM?

It’s a sad thing.

The MLM industry isn’t what it used to be. Sure, there are few top earners making the good money but is it really your best choice for a stable financial future?

That’s what I’m going to discuss with you here.

You will see the pros and cons going on today which I hope will cause you to make the right choice.

So what is really going on?

Well, simply put, the promises of old school MLM and long time residual income are all but dead for the average Joe.. or Joanne for the ladies.

The MLM business model used to be based on the idea that one could work for 2-5 year and retire in style. An organization is something that could be handed down to generations if worked properly.

That’s is not the case any longer.

Of course there is money to be made these days in MLM but the downfall is that it’s not going to last very long, as most distributors find their business shrinking just as fast as it was growing.

The average distributor quits within 60 to 120 days.

For the majority, that is hardly worth the effort for the small commissions the MLM companies are paying out.

Because their comp plans are so largely spread out, we are barely paid on our own efforts.

The average MLM company pays out $25-$75 as a “quick start” for each new rep you sponsor.

…and guess what? They quit in 4 months, or less!

Is that even worth our hard work, blood, sweat and tears?

Is it worth the constant whining and hand-holding?

Absolutely not!

Sadly, in today Internet age, new MLM reps will continue to bail just as quickly as they signed up thanks to all the ridiculous advertising flaunted all over the web, including on your company’s own search engine results.

Today’s competition is brutal to say the least.

And trying to advertise ourselves simply isn’t an option, as the advertising cost to sponsor a new rep continues to skyrocket upward while the life time value of that distributor continues to decline.

It appears the opportunity in MLM just isn’t what it used to be.

I bet that explains why many of the top MLM leaders and new emerging leaders are leaving the industry in favor of a powerful concept called G.P.T.

G.P.T. is not a company, it’s not an business opportunity, and it’s not a product, service or system of any kind.

It’s an answer. A solution to tiny checks, leaking downlines, and the “quick-turn” mentality that has taken over MLM.

Although, MLM is still a very popular business model, it seems to have less and less appeal to blue collar professionals who can’t see themselves peddling vitamins and potions to replace a six-figure income.

As for G.P.T., it is sure to play a major role in networking from this point forward.
