Network marketing is a form of business model in which a distribution network is needed to build the business. The sales force in this type of marketing is compensated for the sales of the other sales people that they recruit. I know you must have come across with some of these marketers trying to sell something(s) to you via one means or the other.

Though the marketing strategy is legit, there are many strings attached and vast majority of the people who enrol end up biting their finger in second thoughts.

These system advertiser, keeping in mind the end goal to win you over - with the goal that they may get paid for the referral-can do anything to accomplish that. They tend to show a few qualities that are extremely irritating, some of them are listed below:

1. Indirect

The first thing that makes me furious about them, their attitude mostly is because they are not always direct (they always beat around the bush like criminals). You begin to wonder if they are truly marketers, entrepreneurs, thrift collectors, motivational speakers or even scammers because of their cunny approach. They are aware that coming directly will probably not be convincing enough.

2. Liars

Another annoying traits you find in them is that, most are liars. They lie to you about the large amount of money they have made from the business, cars they’ve won and how juicy the offer is when it’s obvious they are lying. The most annoying thing is that they always contradict their lies in the process of brainwashing their customers. I once saw a job vacancy online and applied but discovered it was a hoax by these marketers to lure people in when I got to the interview venue.

3. Stuckers

It’s as if you meet them everywhere you go: online; in the bus; classrooms; office.e.t.c. They don’t easily give up until they refer you to get the bonus. Don’t even make the mistake of giving them your phone number, email or home address if you’re not interested, else they will stuck and bug your life.

4. Unrealistic

Most of their explanations are passed through diagrams or stories that don’t seem realistic. They will tell you, you can become a millionaire in the next 2 months with only 50 dollars (why not advise me to go break a bank vault). They know people are too eager and desperate to make money, therefore they utilize that means to sell to them.

5. Market irrelevant goods

Some drugs, home utensils e.t.c., they don’t care if you are in need or interested in what they are marketing or not. They just want to hit the bench mark required by the company they work for.

NB this article is not in any way to condemn any company or person. I know I will be attacked by people and even friends but who cares? It is not that you really care I make it in life, you're just concerned about the bonus you will earn.

#smile... Some network marketers are like that but surely not all.
You need to meet a 'professional' networker to appreciate the profession.
