Network Marketers are a Different Breed

Network Marketers are an different breed. We look at business in a manner that confuses most. The status quo in America has been go to school, get a good job, buy a house, retire, and then sell your home and move somewhere warm. This is the 50 year plan. Most of us in network marketing (NM) are on the 5 yr plan. Work your business for 5 months and be financially free. Its an different mindset. We make telemarketing calls, we go to meeting, and we attend seminars and teleconferences. We work for ourselves by working as a group. We share ideas, tips and marketing strategies.
How can we make this system work for us? I have nothing against the traditional system. Many people have done extremely well with it. Look at the multitude of 000 000 bucks earners in corporate America. My problem is with the Glass Ceiling that truly exists. Without the right connections, the right education, right race, right sex, or even the right look you are out of the loop. Many good people need another system that will work for them. I could go on for hours with tens of thousands of testimonies of lives dramatically changed by NM. Its an open system to everyone.
A question that comes up all the time is how do I pick the right NM business? This is the 000 000 bucks question. Well I have a simple test I use. Now your question might be what makes you such an expert at this? Well lets say this. I can only share my experience. For the last 20 months I have made and lost money in NM. Mostly lost im sad to say but after learning a few simple truths in the last 2 months I have seen my fortunes turn around.
THE SIMPLE FORMULA
- Question 1
Does the program have a good product?
Without a good product you dont have a business, period! Is it something people want? If its not marketable then walk away.
- Question 2
Is the product at a good and reasonable price?
If only a small % of the market can afford it then you might have problems selling it.
- Question 3
What is the commission structure?
Some programs dont have enough of a price margin to make good money for its members. Remember your time is your most valuable commodity so never sell your time short.
- Question 4
Is the system duplicable?
Can anyone regardless of education + experience run this business? If you must have a special set of skills that most people dont possess to run this business then its not duplicable.
If you cant answer yes in an affirmative manner to all four of these key questions then dont look at this business as were you should put your major focus in. If your focus was to be financially free and it doesnt answer all four questions then look elsewhere. Now plenty of of the businesses I have tried didnt answer all four questions and guess what, I didnt have the success I envisioned. Its a very simple truth. But lo and behold if it does answer all four then do what you have to do to get involved as you have a winner.
Now lots of of you are in programs that arent giving you the success you want. What should you do? Id say find one that does. Its that simple. If you would like to pick my brain on programs im using then be sure to contact me for a free 15 minute consultation. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you.
