The “Get-Rich-Quick” Mindset-ers

About a month ago I wrote a blog post talking about the 4 types of people in network marketing. I only managed to cover the first type and the second type of people because I don’t want to put everything into 1 long blog post which makes it really tiring to read. Today I will be talking about the third type of people that you CAN and WILL find during a network marketing presentation or probably they are already in the business.

They are the “Get-Rich-Quick” getters, enthusiast, investors, whatever they call themselves.

Remember the HYIPs (High Yield Investment Program) craze a couple of years back? Where they promise you return on investments from 12% up to 120% in as fast as just 12 days. I can’t remember what’s exactly the payouts are like but these programs are GRQP also known as Get Rich Quick Programs and also DIE-QUICK programs (by my definition). They just money game! I’m not going to get too deep into this but I just want to illustrate an example of what a Get-Rich-Quick program looks like.

It’s sad to say that many people join a network marketing opportunity thinking that it is a Get-Rich-Quick investment or whatever they call it. If you have been in network marketing long enough, you will know that it’s nothing near Get-Rich-Quick. It’s more like “Get-Rich-Quicker”. Quicker as in, the company have all the marketing tools and products prepared for you and all you need to do is to market and build your organization and that will probably take you about 3 to 5 years to reach financial freedom.

Keep Them Away

I’m 100% sure that you’ll find such people around and it’s crucial to identify such people and keep them away from the others. They can be bad influence for those on your team who just starting out. This type of people will not stay long on the team because of the fact that it’s almost impossible for them to Get-Rich-Quick in a network marketing business. They will leave eventually and maybe take a few guys along with them so you have to be really careful when handling with such people. Identify them out and keep them away from the team.

Tips On Identifying the Bad Apples

1. They compliant A LOT about not making money. Most of the time they are not doing anything, they will just come for the team training and do nothing after that.

2. Talk about other money making programs with other team members in the hopes that they will put their money with him or her to invest - That’s bad influence.

3. They like to talk to people “secretly” in a corner where they are away from most of the team members. I personally have that kind of experience. During one of my team meetings where guest were invited and one of them actually approached me and asked me over to a corner to talk about fund investing and boldly asked me if I were interested. Well, I told him off politely that this fund ain’t going to last long (remember it’s the money game I talked about earlier) , he got mad of course and left.
