Be Successful in Network Marketing
Network marketing is a business model in which participants
identify a company. And promote its products and services for commission and
other incentives with the ultimate goal of creating a stream of residual income
system. It is a concept of free enterprise, which allows participants to build
their individual network of marketers. And earn as much as they can based on
their performance.
Network marketing allows individual marketers. Or
distributors to earn on their own efforts and that of their partners or team members.
To be successful in network marketing, the emphasis should not be on products.
And services being promoted. But on the business opportunity that the scheme
affords its participants.
Many people join the scheme. Thinking it is a 'get rich
quick' program that they can use to solve immediate financial needs. If that is
the only reason you are in network marketing you may have to look at some other
opportunities. As network marketing is for those who will be patient enough to
see a business grow from the scratch.
Network marketing is not for the lazy folks but for those
who are ready to put in the required hard work. And it is imperative to state
here that if you put in the hard work you will surely reap the reward. Never
sign up into a network marketing scheme when you are not prepared to put in the
effort.
It does not matter what the promoters promised in the
process of prospecting you.
They will not help you to do the business when you
eventually join. They can help you with training and materials supports. But it
will be rare for anyone to help you promote your own organization in the
company.
In network marketing you are your own boss and your business
is with you wherever you reside. With the use of the internet your business
become global and border less as you can. Do business with people anywhere
there is internet around the world without you resident in those countries.
This post is all about how to be successful in network
marketing in 6 steps.
1. Choose a company to join
There are many network marketing companies out there with
fantastic products and services plus good compensation plans. The onus is on
you to conduct the necessary search to identify a good company to work with.
The following tips will help:
Firstly, the company must have physical address/location. It
must be duly registered by necessary agencies of government. There should be a
place where participants can go when in need of certain information or
settlement apart from the websites.
Secondly, there must be products or services that the
company is promoting. Ensure that the products and services are relevant and
affordable. Also the products must be easy to use and understand. There should
be no ambiguity in the deployment of the products. Products or services that
require lots of explanation and conviction should be avoided.
Note that any
scheme that reward based on recruitment and not on product or services sold is
a ponzi scheme and should be discarded.
Thirdly, there must be compensation plan. That is what you
are working for. It is the reason why you are in it! The compensation plan must
be simple and achievable. Do not fall for unrealistic compensation plan. Avoid
complicated plan that is not easily duplicated among team members. A good
compensation plan is the one that is easily duplicated among team members
notwithstanding their literacy level.
2. Be a customer of the
company
That is one area many are failing in network marketing.
Before you introduce a product to your friend and loved ones you must have had
a feel of it. You must know what the product is all about. You must be willing
to invest your personal cash if you want others to invest theirs.
Being a customer of the company makes you proud and
confident about their product and business opportunity. There would be no sense
of guilt when talking about the product since you have also bought for personal
use.
3. Learn how the
business works
This is a core requirement in network marketing. The more
you learn the farther you will go in the business. Learn from the company
through brochures, catalogs, CD's, fliers and special training and conferences.
Learn from those ahead of you in the company and business.
There advice and counsel can go a long way in realizing your goals.
4. Create an online
presence
Network marketing is often refers to as border less
business. In reality that will not be unless you have an online presence. The
internet affords you the opportunity to interact with people from different
parts of the world with little or no stress.
Some companies allow their distributors to create their own
business websites to promote their businesses to the world. Take advantage of
social sites and forums like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Warrior's forum to
promote your business with prospective customers. The opportunities online are
unlimited!
5. Refer others
This is what you always do. When you see a good restaurant
for example you talk about it and so recommend it to friends and family. This
is what network marketing is all about. You refer friends, family, colleagues,
and neighbors to the company to do the same thing you did.
You are not just marketing a product or service but you are
helping people around you to benefit from a company's product or service and
its business opportunity.
The number to refer at first is based on the company's
compensation plan.
6. Duplicate again and
again
An effective financial system is one that can be easily
duplicated. The success of network marketers lies in their ability to duplicate
the process again and again. It is not different from when in 9 to 5 job, you
work month after months doing the same job in order to earn salary.
The same way, in network marketing, you keep repeating the
process day after days in order to earn commissions, bonuses and other
incentives. The faster you complete the process the better.
The above highlighted 6 steps if carefully followed will be
of huge help to the success of any network marketer whose goal is to achieve
success in network marketing.
