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.

So, how do you decide who is the right partner and who is not? The best person is someone who has been in your shoes before and they have managed to build a successful outfit. These people will add genuine value to you and your business. To identify the right candidates, you have got to have a checklist of what you are looking for. Here are some of them.

Before anything else, establish their level of experience. That is, how long they have managed a network marketing company. This will give an overview of how someone has struggled. It is not a crime to work with a newcomer. However, as all things in life, experience rules it all. It is better to have someone who knows how to rise after a downfall rather than someone who only know how to succeed.

Another thing that you have to establish is where most of their current income comes from. If a significant portion originates from training, then that might not be the best fit. In our context, a successful teacher should be also a successful network marketer. Like all forward-looking businessmen, you need to learn what is practically working today.

In addition to above, please also seek to know the level they are in their company. This will help you to know if there is still room for growth or they are contented with generating money from training and coaching. So, are they still optimizing, testing, executing, and improving the performance of their outfits.

One of the ways for testing the above is to ask them what kind of activities they are implementing currently to bring in more income. A good networking person will have a clear plan of what they do on a monthly basis, if not daily. Nothing beats a trainer who walks his or her talk. So, you do not need coaches who just preach.

In addition to the above, you also need to understand if they teach tangible things. So, is there a process, system or templates that they use? Good mentors will be able to document their own success formula. While implementation will always differ, the success system should be comprised of steps, something that can be practically replicated.

As you do the above, let your gut feeling guide you. In case, you have a doubt about any person, please remember to refer to the above checklist. Doing so will save you time and put you on the right track.
