These days there are an abundance of definitions of what network marketing is. My definition: network marketing is a proven distribution model that enables people to send products and services through a network of other distributors and consumers . Doing this produces ongoing leveraged residual income. Both Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki dig this concept and recommend network marketing by the way.
Here are the essential element to a multilevel marketing business: 1-Marketing your business to Generate leads 2-Prospecting those leads and Building a solid relationship with them 3-Selling products and services to them 4-Training people to train others do the same thing
These parts may sound simple, but if it was you probably wouldn't be reading this article :) The naked truth is that only a smattering of folks really understand how important ALL these multilevel marketing puzzle pieces are and how to arrange them successfully. And these are the convention stage walking, pin-level jumping, you wish-you-were-them, successful network marketers you keep hearing about.
Marketing efforts- this is MARKETING 101 folks. Marketing is effective communication to a laser targeted audience that makes them do something. That something could be to opt in to a list, register for a webinar or join your multilevel marketing venture. If you don't spend time getting the marketing basics down be prepared to spend a lot of your precious time being frustrated because your business may grow quite slowly.
Lead prospecting and relationship building entails understanding what makes people tick, asking the right questions and dealing with objections to find quality candidates for your business. You simply can't build a sustainable network marketing business without talking to folks IMHO. Because network marketing is relationship focused, the nature of the relationship you build with a prospect will determine whether they decide to join your business or buy into your service. And they are joining YOU, not your business. This is based on how much they see you as a leader who can help them succeed.
Selling products and service forms a core part of network marketing because obviously if no one buys your multilevel marketing products or services you have no business. You need to have some knowledge and comfort level around your product/service what it does and how effective it is and why your target market needs to have it. You don't need to know everything but you need to know enough to be able to represent the product and enough to know where to leverage your time and point people to additional information when they need more detail.
Training others to do the same - When you get a new distributor you don't just stop here. In fact this where the real work begins because you have to teach this newbie what you just did. This is where systems really shine. Just like you plugged your prospect into a marketing system you should plug them right into an effective training system that will get the new person up and running and in profit as soon as possible. If a new distributor isn't making any money after 90 days statistics show they will quit. Many new distributors themselves haven't been effectively trained by their own upline unfortunately. Don't let this stop you. Find a duplicable yet simple system that will help train your new distributors effectively to maximize your network marketing business success. - 16732
