You will eventually be compelled in your network marketing business to meet new people by phone or face to face, and pitch them on your opportunity.Many will say no. ruckies all too often take such rejections personally. They immediately blame themselves or the opportunity. But the successful networker understands that the problem is usually nothing more than timing. Experience has shown that if people are at the right time in their lives, they're going to get involved in this business no matter how it is presented. If the timing isn't right in their lives, I don't care how brilliant, skillful, and articulate you are. They're not going to get involved.
Pitfall #5: Forgoing retail proffits
Most new people forget about selling products because they are trying to find a big time leader ,remember you will attract people just like you in your business(law of attraction)." Let your down line do the selling," they say. But you set example for your down line. So if you do not sell, your down line won't either. People your product will not sell it self if it did the company would not need you .

Your upline could be one of your most valued resoureces. He or she is there to direct you,support you, and assist you in selling and recruiting.
