What 15 Years in the Network Marketing Industry Taught Me.
Just whisper the words “network marketing” and you’re bound to
get an emotional response from your listeners.
Many people are still saddled with antiquated ideas of how the
old multilevel companies were run in the 60’s and 70’s.
Remember? Those days when cars had to give way to products
stockpiled in your garage and family and friends were suddenly
afraid to visit you.
But the industry has grown past that caterpillar stage.
Added to this misconception is a common fear of failure. There
are many people who in their quest for a home-based business
opportunity try network marketing and fail at it. Without
questioning why, they have just avoided the industry ever since.
Having ‘survived’ the industry for over 15 years I’ll like to
share with you my #1 secret for making it big … really BIG in
network marketing.
The secret is choosing a team with an experienced coach who will
teach, guide and motivate you towards success.
Of course there are other factors such as the financial backing
of the company, timing, the compensation plan and marketing a
consumable product. But if you are not properly trained and
motivated during those early months you are almost doomed to
failure.
Just think about it, every professional business person or
athlete has a coach. Why should it be different in network
marketing? I wouldn’t have survived as a network marketer if it
wasn’t for the gifted leaders that I was privileged to work under
and to learn from.
There are many business owners who will invest over $50,000 in a
franchise and still pay a business consultant a 5-figure retainer
for advice so that their business succeeds. In network
marketing, you can start your business for less than $500 and
literally choose the coach or leader who will train you for FREE!
Of course this will involve doing a little background check on
the team leader you choose to work with but it’s time well spent.
Here are a few pointers that will help you when seeking out the
‘correct’ coach:
1. Make sure that he or she has a proven track record.
Just as the cream always floats to the top of the milk so a
gifted leader will also prove his or her worth in the results
produced. Generally speaking, you will not rise higher than your
leader, so know how high you want to reach and find a coach who
can get you there.
2. Go with someone who has been in the industry for many years.
Gaze up into the night sky and you’ll see an occasional shooting
star. It burns bright and then disappears. This may be exciting
to watch but only for a short moment. You want a leader who will
be like the northern star—bright and steady. Those who are
successful network marketers are people who stay for the long
haul. Many people give up too quickly and never reap
Stroke Victims Think, Robotic Arm Acts
Reporting in <em>Nature,</em> researchers write that two individuals, both paralyzed by stroke, made reach-and-grasp movements using a thought-controlled robotic arm.

How to Make Your Resource Box Sell
Ezine Articles - they're everywhere! And little wonder. They're one of the fastest ways of building traffic to your website. But what many people overlook is the Resource Box. It's almost as important as your Article. After all, your traffic...
the
harvest.
You want to choose a leader who have experienced some bumps in
the road and can now be selective in choosing a company that is
most likely to remain out of the MLM graveyard.
3. Find someone who knows how to market.
Network marketing is just that: marketing through networking. An
essential part of the equation therefore is the effective
marketing of your business. Marketing can eat up a small budget
very quickly. Therefore, you must know what works from what
doesn’t work so that you can use your advertising dollars most
effectively. The name of the game is maximum returns for your
money. I mean, that is the whole idea behind network
marketing—leverage. This translates into small effort and great
gain.
Find someone who knows how to use the tools of the trade such as
teleconferencing, voicemail, direct mail, the internet and
broadcast media. This is a business so you have to treat it like
one.
4. Find a leader who studies the industry.
Anyone who claims to be a professional will subscribe to
magazines in his area of expertise, attend seminars to keep
abreast of what’s happening and keep his pulse on the industry.
This is the only way that trends can be determined and what is
working for the competition be uncovered. To simply concentrate
on your own company and be blinded to what others are doing is
narrow and myopic.
There are a lot of lessons to be learned from other network
marketers that can be incorporated into one’s own business.
5. Look for a leader who has people skills.
There is no escaping it. Even with all the new technology at our
fingertips, network marketing is a people business. If a leader
doesn’t love people then it will show and recruits will know.
Network marketing could qualify as part of the hospitality sector
because so much of its success depends on empowering and
affirming people.
So find a leader who will be respectful of your value as a person
and not just as another number to add to his downline.
The right opportunity and company may be the vehicle to your
success but an effective coach is like high-octane gas in the
tank!
