The overriding reason why people drop out is because
they're not making enough money.
Whatever amount that is for them, they're not achieving it or it's not within their
visible emotional limit.
The best analogy I can think of to describe that
visible emotional limit is this:
When I was young the neighbourhood kids used to hang out under the street lamp outside our home on summer nights. It was a lot of fun.
Sometimes we'd tell each other scary tales, huddled within the circle of light, not daring to go too near the edges where the darkness began.
The only firm reality for us was what was visible within that circle of light. We could believe in what we could see. . . or what lay close enough to be seen in the surrounding gloom. If people in network marketing can see that what they desire lies within their
visible emotional limit, they'll tend to stay and keep trying. If the light doesn't move toward what they desire, or vice versa, they'll eventually give up.
The simple reality is that the light is directly over their heads.
If they move toward something, the light moves with them. The problem -- as suggested by others -- lies in getting them to
visualize what they want, then move toward it. That requires
action. But
inertia and
fear are twin millstones holding them back. As Shakespeare put it so eloquently. . .
"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good
we oft might win by fearing to attempt".
The second thing, which tends to only happen over time, as confidence grows, is to rise higher so that the circle of light expands, widening their visible emotional limit.
Over the years there have been some interesting research studies done on what makes people stay in MLM. Two specific results were identified that still apply today, despite the passing of years and the effects of inflation:
- If they can earn $300 a month within three months, they'll stay longer.
- If they can earn $1200 a month within a year, they'll stay.
That's always been the key strategy to which I've targeted my own efforts and those of my downline teams. They work as well today as they did 20 years ago. But only as a starting point. They're measurable, achievable short-to-medium term targets that keep them focused.
Hope this helps.

John said it in a nutshell.
Because they are not making enough money!
And why are they not making enough money?
There are lots of reasons.
-they recieved poor training.
and NO going to your warm market is NOT bad training.
Its a proven method.
If you are bugging people you are doing it wrong. I have never "bugged"
anyone.
I share what I have to those I love and care about. I merely let everyone know
what it is I am doing.
I dont bug,chase down or try to convince.
-they do not recoup their autoship costs fast enough.
Most mlm companies have pitifully low "retail" mark ups so they can
not make any money at all that way. They
need a dozen or so members all on autoship just to break even.
They get discouraged if they are spending more than they are making so
they quit.
-They dont treat it as a business.
You can join a mlm on a shoestring. There is no huge investment and no
bosses to make you go to work.
It takes incredible "self motivation" to be in this industy.
People have to be motivated from within.
The ones who DO work it hard consistently have "found their WHY"
I believe those are the main reasons.
One of my criteria in choosing a company is one that has a
strong "retail" program at competitive prices so new
ones and reps who have been there for a while can
break into profit FAST and earn great money through a retail
customer base alone!
Also, having unique ,"exclusive" and consumable products
is a huge plus.
By the way. . Im Deb.
