Checklist For Recruiting Coaches For Network Marketing

By Patricia Cook


With thousands of networking coaches seeking your attention, it can be difficult to find out which one is right for you. More so, when it is a fact that most of them generate a big portion of their earnings from training. The last thing you want is to learn about networking the classroom style. While most of them have managed networking businesses before, if they are not active in their businesses currently, there is no guarantee that what they are teaching still work. The good thing is that you can still find some good coaches for network marketing who are still running successful businesses.

But how do you identify the right trainer? There is no standard way of partnering with the right coach. But as a guide, look for somebody who has gone through where you are currently because he or she will be able to pick you up and walk you through the right route. Other than this, you also need to have a checklist of some of the key attributes that you should look for in a mentor. Below are some of the important things to look out for.

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.

Besides experience, also establish the source of their income. You are not trying to investigate about their personals lives, but you want to know if they are real business people. As mentioned above, there are many trainers who get most of the income from training alone. The best candidate is somebody who knows how to coach but also earns money from what he or she teaches.

Another thing to check out is what level they are right now in their company. Is there room for improvement or they are just contended being teachers? The right candidates for you are the ones who are still forward-looking; the ones who are optimizing their strategies and growing business.

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.

Another important checklist that will help you identify the right coach is to scrutinize if what he or she teaches has value in it. The best way to gauge this is to look at the systems and processes in place. Ideally, success can be replicated. It is even better when there is a step by step way of leading you through the journey

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.
