Network Marketing - Question Asked

A question that was asked was:
What positive experiences have you had with network marketing?

My Answer:
I have been in and have work with many business owners in network marketing. I have coach and watched some people move their network marketing up 1 to 4 levels in a six month period of time. There are great benefits to a network marketing business. Your time line, your health, confidence building, sales building and much more.

Here are some of the qualities and attributes I have found with some of the most successful in the industry.

Commitment - Staying committed to what you signed into. Even when it gets difficult. Staying with it as you continue to learn about yourself. There will be times when you get frustrated. Just like any business you do what it takes.

Passion - Being passionate about your product will show in all you do. When you are sharing and inviting others to join your business or buying your products your passion will be what they buy into first.

Business Minded - This is a business not a hobby! If you treat network marketing as a business and you seek business support you are more likely to be successful. Run your time and your calendar as you would any business.

Follow Through - If you agree to something then follow through! Do what you say you will do. If something comes up renegotiate the agreement do not just take the other party for granted. People will usually forgive and yet not forget. You set the integrity of your own business by what you do. A great staement is to Under Promise & Over Deliver!

Courage - Having the courage to run a business and take many "No's" is the key to having a healthy business. Remembering that people are not saying "No" to YOU they are saying "No" to the opportunity. Do not take the "No's" personally. Say thank you and let them know you are there when they change their mind.

Follow Up - When you get leads follow up on them. Do not just leave a message and expect them to call you back. A message is not a contact! Call back using a different approach. Change your personality and be excited, direct or gentle. If it takes 4 calls then so be it. Use a different personality style on each call and you are likely going to connect with them one way or the other. Do follow up's a week apart as someone may be out of town for a week. ALWAYS Follow Up.

Most of the network marketing companies I have worked with have people who are very successful and people who are just in it to socialize. Ask yourself which you are. If your are looking for success, listen to your upline, utilize the systems they have already created for you and stay focused on what you want to create in your business. (By the way sometimes an up line is not going anywhere. If this is the case ask others for support even if they are not directly above you. The great ones will help or offer another to support you.)

Be willing to ask for support! Networking is a two sided affair. You can offer support and you must be willing to receive support as well. Be involved with your team and remember there is enough for everyone. There are billions of people on this planet.

Have fun and enjoy your Network Marketing or Direct Sales Business!
