Successful network marketers had to face a lot of rejection
to build their businesses. They tend to not only be
successful in business but also in life overall.
I recently saw a statistic that over 20,000 people in the
U.S. are making over a million dollars a year in network
marketing. The profit possibilities are really that huge.
Network Marketing works, and it is not as hard to get
started as most of us think. What can be vital to your
success is to do some research before choosing a company.
Here are a few tips to differentiate an honest network
marketing company from a scheme.
1. How can you tell the difference between a pyramid scheme
and a legitimate company? It's simple. A pyramid scheme is
when no product is being sold. It's where people recruit
people, who recruit more people, and so on. There is no
product. What eventually happens is that no more people
join and everyone except those at the top are left with
nothing. Understand that you do not receive anything of
value when joining a program like this. All you get are
empty promises and that is why it's a scam.
2. Another problem with some companies is that they offer
expensive products and training. If you are paying more
than what you normally would for a product or service, then
avoid that company. You do not want to end up pushing
overpriced products with empty promises of making money on
others. A good company will have products or services
priced at or below market value. This makes it much easier
for those who just want to consume the products and not
recruit anyone.
3. Reasonable or no startup costs are very important. A
home business should be very inexpensive to start. It is
important to get value out of every dollar that you spend.
What may be surprising to most people is how inexpensive it
actually can be to start a network marketing business.
TIP: Find a company with products that you are already
buying and just switch your purchases, that way your
startup cost is free! What a way to start your home
business. You can actually make a profit with your first
sale because you are not spending anymore money than you
were before starting your business.
4. A good company will offer free or inexpensive training
because they should be interested in everyone's success,
not just the companies.
5. People in a company should seem honest and have
confidence in their business. Contact people from a company
you are interested in, talk to them. Do they seem genuine?
Are they excited? If they are just trying to sell their
company, then find another company.
6. What is most attractive about network marketing is the
passive component. A company should provide your efforts
with the opportunity to be multiplied as more and more
people join your team. I love the concept of getting paid
over and over again for work that I did just once.
7. Find a dedicated mentor that will help you build your
business. Before joining any company find out who your
sponsor will be, talk to them and make sure that they are
committed to working with you, and sharing what they have
already learned. An active, helpful sponsor can determine
your success within any company.
8. Find a company that ships the product directly to the
customer. Avoid buying any more product than you can
consume.
9. The compensation plan should be easy to understand as
well as provide a nice balance between passive income and
income made off of actual sales. A good plan should offer
more than one way to get paid, such as fast start
commissions, bonus pools, as well as residual income.
10. Finding a company that has a high rate of customer
retention will save you allot of stress in the future.
Understand that every company will have some retention, but
if a company provides quality products with quality
training then members will stick around.
One big reason that most people are not successful in
network marketing is because they fear rejection! If you
want to start your own business then you will either have
to get on the phone and market your business or pay someone
to do it. The only way to avoid it is to continue working
for someone else.
Successful entrepreneurs are willing to do the things that
most people do not want to do.
Remember this:
1. A percentage of people that you call will answer.
2. A percentage of people that answer will listen.
3. A percentage of people that listen will be interested.
4. A percentage of people that are interested will sign up.
By understanding these percentages and learning what the
above ratios are for your business then you will know
exactly what you need to do to be successful.
