Checklist For Recruiting Coaches For Network Marketing

By Patricia Cook


Literally, there are thousands of network marketing coaches to choose from. All of them, seeking your attention. This can be challenging because you are not sure who to listen to. What is even more interesting is that majority of the top professionals in the coaching field rely heavily on income paid by trainees. This could be wrong because what you need the most is someone who is running a successful business. True, most of them have been running their businesses for a long time, but some of their ideas stopped working long ago. So, you need to be careful when selecting coaches for network marketing.

So, how do you decide who is the right partner and who is not? The best person is someone who has been in your shoes before and they have managed to build a successful outfit. These people will add genuine value to you and your business. To identify the right candidates, you have got to have a checklist of what you are looking for. Here are some of them.

The first thing to find out is the period your prospective coach has been in practicing networking. Do not get it wrong. It is still okay to work with a successful newcomer who knows how to put his act together. However, you are better off learning from someone who is experienced. Target someone who has run a business for more than three years. It best if you can find someone who has failed before but managed to rise again.

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.

Another thing to check out is what level they are right now in their company. Is there room for improvement or they are just contended being teachers? The right candidates for you are the ones who are still forward-looking; the ones who are optimizing their strategies and growing business.

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.

In addition to the above, you also need to understand if they teach tangible things. So, is there a process, system or templates that they use? Good mentors will be able to document their own success formula. While implementation will always differ, the success system should be comprised of steps, something that can be practically replicated.

Finally, you need to trust your guts. If you doubt anything, stop for a minute to scrutinize. The above list will help you in case you are stuck on the way.
