Know what doesn't matter (in network marketing)?
It.
Know what "it" is?
Take your pick of the following "its":
- Having the (really, no kidding, you can prove it) best product.
- Having the (really, no kidding, you can prove it) best comp plan.
- Having the (really, no kidding, you can prove it) best people who ever ran a network marketing company in the history of the world.
None of that or those matter. None.
One thing and one thing only matters. You SELLING your product successfully and enrolling business-builders in/on your team who do the same or better.
That's it. That's all.
"Well... you've got to have the best product, and plan, and people to do that."
NO you don't. Look around—in and out of network marketing. The MOST successful business enterprises you can name DO NOT have the "best" anything... except sales.
Yes, I know... I know..., but tell me please, what are you're "after" in your business?
Sales (which is what you are paid for) is where the rubber meets the road. Without that, you're driving a parked car (even if it is a $1.2 million, 248 mph Bugatti Veyron 16.4).
Btw, the best selling car in the world is the Toyota Corolla with 35 million sold. Hardly "the best" automobile in the world.

Next question, what has to happen for people to sell better? Some will tell you they need all that external "best this and best that" to validate what they're selling.

'Sales' is not difficult - simply an issue of balancing buyer needs/wants/perceptions with the offer.
An understanding of that will help.
As will sellers understanding 'what's on offer' - their 'it' - something which many NMers simply don't know or care enough about.
