Many new network marketers believe that the way to 'sell' their business opportunity is to tell their prospect how much they can earn (lots!); how little they will have to work (a few hours a week); how quick it will happen (this time next year you'll be a millionaire!) ; how easy it will be (anyone can do it) ; how everyone in their team will sell and recruit like wildfire; etc.

At work? Start a conversation about how you make extra money from your business.
Taken your car into the garage to be mended? Chat to the mechanic while he is working on your car about how he could make a fortune if he ran an MLM business on the side.
Sounds like a good idea? Well, many experts in the field will say yes to that. But I disagree....
