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.

There are several things you could wish to check out while choosing your trainers but the best partner is always somebody who has been in your shoes before and have managed to build something meaningful, someone, who will add value to your journey to being successful. To identify such a partner, you have to scrutinize some of your potential candidates if they meet your requirements. Below is a checklist of what to focus on.

First, you need to establish the length of time that one has been networking. There is nothing wrong working with smart newcomers but longevity beat everything else. You will be safer with somebody who has spent at least three years in the industry. It is better to work with a person who has experienced ups and downs since he or she will be in a better place to get you through difficult situations.

Apart from the number of years, also seek to understand where your candidates get most of their current income. Is it from network marketing company or from his or her training engagements? If it is from the former, then he or she could be the right candidate. It is more likely that such a person will share with you what is currently working and how to maneuver through challenging situations.

In addition to the above, inquire about the level they are in their businesses. This is important because it will help you understand if your potential trainer is still actively pursuing the networking income or he is comfortable with being a mentor. The best way to find out is to ask if they are still growing their businesses.

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.

After you are through with the above checklist, ask yourself if what your prospective trainers are offering is something tangible. One way of finding out this is to ask if they have systems and process in place. Ideally, you expect to go through the exact steps they went through to get to where they are. While this will depend on execution, it is always good to work with something replicable.

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.
