Some of tips for new mlm joinee?
My tips would be that from far it looks like it is a product selling business, but it is training business. It's the duplication which works always. so do not just consider it as a direct selling business. Think big, spread the word, experience the goodness and share it to others. "Further never count your prospect as a prospect but instead count them as a project. If you join someone than don’t leave them instead develop them."

Network marketing income are not fix or limited, I may tell my last month (May, 2015) payout and it was 20 lacs around
What is YOUR REASON to do Network Marketing business?
I am a people centric person, when I was young I used to observe my dad, he always tried hard to make a difference in people's lives, I also wanted to do the same, Networking taught me that the smallest effort you do in peoples lives makes a big difference in their lives, plus networking gives you and your family a life beyond imagination. This is a reason I have selected networking as my career for life.
Many people face difficulties in Lead Generation in Network Marketing. How do you generate leads?
Network Marketing may look simple but it is not an easy business, but it is not even a difficult one. It is tough when done without proper method and ethics. Never cheat people. For lead generation the best is to first let your family have confidence on the product, then get your friends use them. Also you can get new leads by #MLMdiary and various other websites. But i would like to say that
There is a thin line between cheating and the network marketing. Let me explain you with an example.
If a sales man sells refrigerator in Kashmir by advertising it as a refrigerator which helps to keep things such as fruits and vegetables cool than he is a “network marketer”.
If a sales man sells refrigerator in Kashmir by advertising it as a cupboard with a light inside in which you can keep books or things then he is a “cheater”
I am a proud Networker and I always follow the ethics in business. It seems to many that I am a successful network have got the top position very easily. But in reality it is my vast experience and the difficult times I have endured in this industry that has made me tough. Even after facing so many tough times I never gave up on network marketing and that is why today i am here.
