One of the first Network Marketing home based businesses I joined promised me spillover. Worse than that it was a brand new start up. Worse than that, it didn’t have a product yet. I have to ask myself today "Jennifer Fisher, where on Earth was your head?"
Here was the pitch:
Jennifer, you join at the $69 level and then just do nothing in this program and you will get a check. Bear in mind I came from the Traditional Business world where one must WORK to earn an income. I didn’t see how this was going to work, but "ok".
Needless to say this guy already had me in at least half a dozen other programs, so not having to do anything in one sounded like a good deal. Boy was I naive. (Read chapter 10 of the free ebook on the right, Success in 10 Steps, to learn more about multiple streams of income/outgo.)
Here’s something I learned through the Mentoring For Free system and Michael Dlouhy.
"When you look at a lot of network marketing websites, you often see that word "spillover." The proposition, more or less, is, "get in now, today, and you’ll get all this spillover."
Good people don’t want welfare. They want to build it themselves. They just want to learn the skills they need to build this business and create residual income, money that’s coming in week after week, year after year, and they can will it to their children’s children.
If you look closely at the compensation plans of the companies that promote spillover, you’ll find out that those who get spillover usually don’t get paid on it. There are other hoops to jump through to get paid on that spillover, and these people rarely ever qualify.
Companies & reps use "spillover" as a tool to suck in people who think they can build a business without doing any work. In other words, no sponsoring, no recruiting, no work. It targets that type of person.
When You Say "Spillover", You Are Targeting Quitters! When you see a network marketing company that promotes spillover on their website, they’re looking for welfare-minded people. The problem for you is, you can’t build with these people, unless YOU do all the work! That’s what they expect. And when you don’t build their business, they’ll be off somewhere else, looking for a better welfare plan.
When you or your company promotes spillover, you are targeting people who will not be with you long-term. And in network marketing, that makes absolutely no sense. The failure rate will be 100%.
Conclusion? Run like heck from any company focused on "spillover". Be it a traditional business or home based business, success will never be found through a poverty or welfare state of mind.
