Network Marketers - Start With A Proven System To Guarantee Your Success
By: MelanieKissell | Posted: 15th August 2008
To guarantee success in this industry, network marketers have got to begin with a proven, duplicatable system for success. Without one, you're dead in the water. A lot of people get off on the wrong foot in network marketing. The potential is there with some companies to build a solid income that you can retire on, but only if you have a tested, proven system that works to build your business.
You need to combine that system with knowledge of what prospects really want. If you can give them what they really want, you have a chance. If you can't give them what they want, they will keep on looking. What they want is not complicated. They want to know if they like you, and if you like them. They want to know if your system is something they can do. Plus, they need to see whether you can help them.
What works is to have a definite system for building relationships with people. And then on top of that, of course, you must be able to help them generate a steady stream of leads so they can build their business. If you can show that to them in a step-by-step simple plan, then you have a pretty good chance.
They've got to see it's doable for them. Show them you have a simple system that works, and that it's very easy for them to learn and to teach others. Help them see that they are in a system that is very duplicatable, which is exactly what they'll need to for long-term success in MLM.
What could be worse than working with people you don't like? That's one reason people choose to build an MLM business - they want to escape from a job working with people they just don't respect or like. Unfortunately, some people get desperate when they're building their network marketing group, and they sign up anybody they possibly can.
Your best bet is to describe the people you really want at the start and stick to them. One idea that works with a prospect is to ask yourself, "Is this someone I'd want to go on a 30-day cruise with?" This is a business you have chosen, and you also get to choose the people you will work closely with.
Why on earth choose people you just don't like? Instead, only go with people who you think would be a lot of fun to be around, who share your dreams and goals. It's very satisfying to find new close friends and then to support them in achieving their lifetime goals. It's a big chore to have to talk daily to someone who is unfocused and with whom you have nothing in common, and listen to them gripe about the business you love. You really need to have your standards set in your mind when you talk to people.
The time-tested ebook "Success In 10 Steps" by Michael Dlouhy goes into detail on these thoughts and more. The book has become a network marketing classic over the last few years, having passed 100,000 downloads. A lot of MLMers have used it as a lead-generator to build their business.
Target market for the book is current network marketers who have not achieved the success they'd like in the business. That's millions of people. You learn a proven way to build a network marketing income, and you get a step-by-step plan for changing their results from bad to good. The book doesn't have a single affiliate link, so it has been a very popular and effective lead generation tool for a lot of people in MLM.
