Network Markerting

"If I had to do it all over again, rather than build an old style type of business, I would have started building a network marketing business."
Quote by Robert T. Kiyosaki
Many people have made fortunes in network marketing business opportunities, also called multi-level marketing / MLM. Usually only a small number of people at the top made money "Those with Skills", with the majority of the distributors failing to achieve any measurable level of success!
Not much has changed over the years, yet this is still this is one of the most rewarding home business opportunities today but only when you decide to work it as a business!
The majority of companies today offer products and services that the average person uses on a daily and consistent basis. Today the multitude of companies provide products like;
Communication Services.
Internet Access.
Nutritional Products.
WeightLoss Programs.
Water Filtration Systems.
Financial Programs.
Electrical Power.
One of the keys to becoming successful is to provide products and services that the average person will use. The products or services should be unique or consumable.
The power and distribution of the internet has made the stocking of products obsolete, your customers are just a click away from ordering directly online, they are shopping there right now.

Today we have advertisements having telling us how to "Create an endless Flow of Free Leads." Nowif this really worked why would they be paying for advertising for their product.
Lets face it by our human nature we want to achieve the greatest results with the least amount of energy expended. Think about it by carring over our employee mentaility into our business, we our setting ourselves up for failure.
When you want to call your own shots, be your own boss, you had better show up for work. There is not going to be someone there standing over you holding you accountable, thats your job now!
I cannot tell you the number of times I've heard this statement: After joining my company, purchasing the monthly quota of products or services I have no money left over to market my business with. So we will spend what ever amount is neccessary to ensure we are qualified, so we don't miss a check, just on the chance that someone may accidently purchase a product or join our business!
When prospecting, individuals place way too much importance on their company, the online presentations or their companies pay plan. No wonder we are failing, we fail to address the want's and needs of our customers or prospective new business partners.
This business is not about systems, video's email campaigns these are all tools. it is about developing personal relationships. These relationships are built with both our customers and our downline.
Sure I know what your saying now, that email drip campaigns and other tools will do that for you, paving the way. Yes but, you will still have to communicate with people. Learn to communicate and connect with people and your set for life.
What is it really going to take for me to become successful?
That is the million dollar question. First we are all different and therefore have different skills that we bring to our respective businesses. It is almost like putting a giant puzzle together and everything has to be put into the proper place at the right time.
It is going to take commitment and determination in both time and money while building and marketing your business. Network Marketing Training is vitally important to insure, success in your business opportunity.
Network Marketing TrainingThis is required not optional for your ultimate success! Developing your marketing and sales skills is essential in direct selling, yet this vital component is missing in most company training programs. I cannot emphasize this enough, "it is essential to building a successful business."
Creating A Foundation For Success In Network Marketing - Putting our tools in place!High on the list of for success and should be accomplished before starting your business is to build it with the proper foundation. Becoming organized and effective should be one of your most important goals.
Network Marketing LeadsHaving enough people to talk to, is important to building a thriving and growing business. Once again this is a major reason people fail. Without the proper training in sales and recruiting we may have minor success out of shear luck, when we could be building our business by design.
Collateral Marketing BudgetPlacing something of value into your customer / prospects hands can lead to more sales only if it is done correctly. This goes back to the reason people fail, no budget to market with!
Tracking - without it how do you know if what your doing is working?Each day thousands of marketers make the mistake of not tracking their business results. This ranges from advertising to sales. Don't make this same mistake.
Why Do We Fail?A lot has to do with the promise of something for nothing. You will find businesses and individuals telling you that their web site systems will do all the marketing, advertising, prospecting and recruiting, no sales required. Distributors also share in this failure by lack of action, commitment and realizing this is a sales business!
You may have a great company that provides training, great up line support but if you're still not achieving the success you are looking for, then by all means get additional training, you may even need professional coaching.
