Unfortunately, most mlm companies' network marketing trainingprograms consist of barely motivational meetings on conferencecalls. Most mlm companies fail to teach their distributors thebasics of marketing and communications skills. This isconsidered one of the major reasons for the high rate of failurein multi-level marketing programs.
Most network marketers quit, except for the leaders, who startlooking for additional training and education. Hungry forsuccess, members of the latter group end up easy prey for thecurrent network marketing training scams.
To generate leads, these training programs sometimes use coldcalling, but for the most part they use Internet marketingthrough pay-per-click advertising. Most network marketers arenot acquainted with Internet marketing, and they fail torecognize that the sponsored links they find through searchengines are, basically, advertisements. They typically offer afree report in exchange for a network marketer's information.This free report doesn't reveal usually any useful informationand leaves network marketers hungry for more.

1. Illegal income claims. Typically, those mlm training scamslead with hype, and they promise that by joining theireducational program, network marketers are guaranteed to make ahuge amount of money in their first year.
2. Fake guarantees. These training programs promise to provide aguarantee, in writing, of their illegal income claims. Inaddition, in order for their students to qualify for thetraining program's refund guarantee, they have to fulfilldifficult conditions, disclosed after paying tuition; the refundpolicies often require the student to regularly attend personalconference calls five times per week for an entire year.
3. High fees. Network marketing training scams typically requirea large, one-time fee to be paid in full in advance, whichreflects the hit and run mentality.
