What To Look For In Reliable Coaches For Network Marketing

By Patricia Cook


Today, there are several thousands of network business coaches such that it is becoming difficult the right partner to work with you. This is more challenging when you consider the fact that most of them generate a majority of their income from training rather networking business. While most of them have run a business at one point in their lives, they might not offer the best advice because it might not be working in the current setting. Having said that, selecting the right coaches for network marketing is still possible if you know what you are looking for.

There are several things you could wish to check out while choosing your trainers but the best partner is always somebody who has been in your shoes before and have managed to build something meaningful, someone, who will add value to your journey to being successful. To identify such a partner, you have to scrutinize some of your potential candidates if they meet your requirements. Below is a checklist of what to focus on.

Before anything else, establish their level of experience. That is, how long they have managed a network marketing company. This will give an overview of how someone has struggled. It is not a crime to work with a newcomer. However, as all things in life, experience rules it all. It is better to have someone who knows how to rise after a downfall rather than someone who only know how to succeed.

Another thing that you have to establish is where most of their current income comes from. If a significant portion originates from training, then that might not be the best fit. In our context, a successful teacher should be also a successful network marketer. Like all forward-looking businessmen, you need to learn what is practically working today.

In addition to the above, inquire about the level they are in their businesses. This is important because it will help you understand if your potential trainer is still actively pursuing the networking income or he is comfortable with being a mentor. The best way to find out is to ask if they are still growing their businesses.

So, to be able to establish their current plans and activity levels, try to ask them what they are doing currently to grow their business. The right candidates will most likely have a plan of what they are doing in the current month to bring in more money. Such people are the ones who walk the talk.

After you are through with the above checklist, ask yourself if what your prospective trainers are offering is something tangible. One way of finding out this is to ask if they have systems and process in place. Ideally, you expect to go through the exact steps they went through to get to where they are. While this will depend on execution, it is always good to work with something replicable.

Always be guided by your guts when you are unsure at any point. But in case, you face several doubts do consult the above checklist to help you move forward.
