Network marketing is a direct selling,in which independent agents serve as distributors of goods and services and are encouraged to build and manage their own sale’s force by recruiting and training other independent agents.In this method,commissions is earned on agent’s own sales revenue force and of sales force recruited by agent’s recruit’s, reffered to as downlines.
In short,network marketing is a:
- Career choice and a profession.
- Path to fame,fortune and time freedom.
- Leadership development platform.
- Fast fun and exciting business.
- Proven “million dollar” business model.
In his book,Kiyosaki terms network marketing as the BUSINESS OF 21st CEBTURY.One of the beauties of network marketing system is that it’s set to be the exact opposite of of a man-eat-eat man society, where even your best friend may climb over you to get to the next rung on the ladder. In network marketing, that kind of CUT THROAT COMPETITION doesn’t happen,simply because,your sponsors/upline’s success depends on your your success.The people who profit from your growth,WANT YOU TO GROW.
Network marketing is recommended by some of the most successful and wealthy personalities in the world.Below is some of them,their sentiments and views about network marketing;
- Paul Zane pilzer(renowned Economist and best selling author of “The Next Millionaire”). ‘The best system I’ve ever seen for intellectual distribution is the direct selling also known as network marketing/refferal marketing.You win when you help others win.’
- Robert Kiyosaki (Author of “Rich Dad and Poor Dad” and “Business of the 21st Century). ‘Network marketing gives people the opportunity with very low risks and low financial commitment, to build their own income-generating asset and acquire great wealth’
- Bill Clinton. (A US president,some years ago). ‘You strengthen our country and economy, not by just striving for your own success,but by offering opportunity to others…Network marketing gives a chance, after all to make the most of their own lives ,and to me,that’s the heart of the American dream.
- Tony Blair (British prime minister some years ago). ‘Network marketing is a tremendous contribution to the overall prosperity of the economy.’
- Zig zigler(Legendary Author and motivational speaker). ‘A home based business offers enormous benefits including elimination of travel,time savings,freedom of schedule and the opportunity to make your family a priority as you set your goals.You Dont build a business.You build people,and then people build the business’
- Donald Trump(Billionaire businessman, and owner of Trump’s Network…running for US Presidency this year). ‘Network marketing is actually one of the most respected business and has stood the test of time’.
- Warren Buffet(a billionaire imvestor and owner of 3 network marketing companies). ‘The best investment I ever made-network marketing’
- Jim Rohn,’Network marketing is the big wave of the future .its taking the place of franchising, which now requires too much capital for the average person.
I believe that people are inherently generous,and that we gain our greatest satisfaction and fulfilment from our own achievement,when they also serve to lift up others,and not to keep them down.Network marketing satisfys this generous impulse.It offers a path to personal success,to building great wealth and creating financial freedom,through a process that operates successfully, only through helping our fellow human being.In fact,the only way you become rich in network marketing is by helping others to become rich in the process.
The reason why most prominent and successful people strongly advocate for network marketing is simply because its possible for ANYONE TO SHARE IN THE WEALTH.The system is open to those who have the drive,determination and perseverance.The system doesn’t really care what college you went to orwhether you went to non at all.It doesn’t care how much money you are making today,what race or sex you are,how good looking you are.All that counts is whether you have the guts to stick out through thick and thin,while you learn to be a business owner.
In this current century, the rules of race have changed, because we now live in a CHANGED WORLD, that definitely favours the MASSES,those who had but a little opportunity to win in other centuries. Business is due for a reform.make no mistake about this.
Although network marketing is a game of numbers,to make it,there is no magic formula for success.You Dont have to be a genius in negotiation,nor do you have to be a whiz at numbers.You just need a BURNING DESIRE,and DETERMINATION, FUELED BY A STRONG DOSE OF PASSION and FAITH.Donald trump puts it better,”You have to love what you do.Without passion,great success is hard to come by.As an entrepreneur,you’ll have tough times if you aren’t passionate about what you’re doing.”
Your ATTITUDE determines your level of success in multi level marketing/network marketing. If you want to make big money,you must learn how wealthy people think.Every one has problems,and some solve them,but some just can’t.A poor broke person will complain that network marketing isn’t working,while a successful leader will ask himself,’How can it work.’
In the real world,if you are not producing within 3-6 months,you are fired. In network marketing, the situation is different,the company is not going to fire you and you should not fire yourself!
In this business,its a 3-5(4)year plan.If one is serious about starting the journey,I recommend committing to it a minimum of 3years,of learning,growing ,changing your core values and meeting new friends,why?Because that’s realistic.
Let’s look at the reason why you should choose network marketing over traditional business model:
a. You can build it part-time, any time.
b. You can build it from anywhere, any city, any virtual office.
c. You are in business for yourself, but not by yourself , meaning your host company will do all the heavy investing and lifting – from product development, legal ground work, customer service, data processing, banking, sales training, marketing, branding, and even social media.
d. Your business partners – those above you in the network in terms of seniority and linage – have a vested interest in your success. Somewhere in your team, someone is making it work and they want more than anything to teach and motivate you to make it work for you.
e.You can create enough tax deductions along each year to make it worthwhile.
g. You can learn it while you earn it. You can create cash flow in your first month.
f. You can earn an extra $500, $1,000, $5,000 or more a month – EVERY MONTH.
g. With time and success, your income will be produced for you by hundreds, perhaps even thousands of people, each pursuing their own success. This creates an Asset Income, meaning it could go on forever regardless of whether you are working hard at it or not. A pure Asset Income creates an asset… or net worth.
HOW TO BE A SUCCESS IN THE INDUSTRY:
First, become your own best customer. USE all of your company’s products in as many ways as possible, discovering as many benefits and success stories as possible. Create your own best product story. You will want to be able to tell people exactly what this product did for you that made you want to use it forever and share it with others. The more powerful your own story, the more impact you will have in recommending the product to others — and most importantly, you won’t be “selling it”, you will just be telling your own story.
2. Recommend…
This is where most people think they have to sell the product. It’s better to see yourself just recommending it, like you would a good movie or restaurant. You listen to the people around you… listen to their problems. And when someone shares a problem your product can solve, just tell them your story. Let them decide if it’s right for them. If you recommend a great Italian place and the person says, “I don’t like Italian,” then the conversation is probably over. IF they say, “That place is too expensive,” you just let it go as their opinion. You don’t argue, right? Don’t sell or argue with customers either. Just recommend it. If it’s a fit, perfect. If not, let it go. This is how successful Network Marketers establish lots of customers over time and move lots of products without making a nuisance of themselves.
3. Invite “Just to Take a Look”…
Inviting people is just like recommending the product, only you are inviting them to “just take a look” at the income opportunity. According to Brooke, he says the best way to do this is to do it with a tool like a CD, DVD, brochure, or website. This who master inviting, eventually master the four year career.
Bonus: Here are a 2 keys to being an effective inviter:
a. Be convinced yourself… in your product, the company, and the four year career.
b. Be interesting. Not by what you say, what you drive, or how you hype, but by being interested … interested in them! Ask curiosity questions and LISTEN . You will be amazed by how interesting people are… Their lives, families, their careers, their heartaches, and their dreams. In this process they will tell you EXACTLY what is missing in their lives that your invite may help solve… or they won’t. Invite those that reveal their own opportunity.
There are thousands of people out there bad-mouthing the industry because of unrealistic claims that led to overblown expectations.Below are some of the myths about the industry;
I’m confident in saying that you or someone that you know has tried and failed at a network marketing company. Fact of the matter is the following are myths… Meaning there is no factual evidence supporting them as truth. If you’re making a decision based on your friend,and how things didn’t work out for him, then SHAME ON YOU for not making a decision based on facts!
MYTH #1: Getting in on the ground floor is the best way to success in a network marketing company .
According to Richard Brooke’s book, this is the WORST time to join. Most companies, including Network Marketing companies, go out of business in their first 5 years.
The best time to join a Network Marketing company is when it is at least 5 years old, or backed by a larger company. By then, it has demonstrated a commitment and ability to:
– Grow Ethically
– Stay in Business
– Honor its Distributors/Sales Force and Customers
MYTH #2: Network Marketing is an opportunity for someone who is not doing well financially to make some money – maybe even a lot of money .
Unfortunately, many of the success stories have perpetuated this myth with a rags-to-riches theme. Although there are enough people to substantiate the myth, it is still a myth.
The same skills it takes to succeed in any marketing business are required in Network Marketing:
– You must be assertive
– You must have confidence
– You must be dynamic in your ability to express yourself
– You must have enough resources to convince customers.
MYTH #3: Network Marketers succeed by being in the right place at the right time.
Network Marketing is a business; it is not a hobby, a game, a scheme, a deal, or something in which to dabble. People who treat it lightly do not succeed. People who treat it like a new career, a profession, and a business have a reasonable opportunity to make it pay off very well. Professionals who treat it as a Wealth Building Art to be mastered eventually can earn a yacht-load of money. Most people invite a few people to look and then quit. This who master it invite a few people every day for a year or two and in that “practice” they hone the art of listening more than talking, interpret rejection in a learning way, and discover how to craft their offer in such a way that someone actually WANTS to hear more. Just like any worthwhile career, it takes time, patience, and repetition.
MYTH #4: The way Network Marketing works is the “Big Guys” make all their money off the “Little Guys” .
The “big guys, little guys” myth is usually perpetuated by people who define fairness as “everyone gets the same benefit, regardless of their contributions”. That is how socialism works, not how Network Marketing works.
In Network Marketing, the people who attract, train, and motivate the most salespeople earn the most money. PERIOD.
MYTH #5: You have to use your friends and family to make any money in Network Marketing.
The truth is, you do not and you should not. Your friends and family should only become a part of your business if it serves them to do so. If it serves them — if they see an opportunity for themselves just like you did — then they are not being used, they are being served. If you do not believe your opportunity can serve them, DO NOT OFFER IT TO THEM!
MYTH #6: If Network Marketing really worked, everyone would get involved and the market would be saturated.
Although this is mathematically possible, history has proven that saturation is not an issue. There are many companies that have been in business for 30-50 years doing billions of dollars a year in business with millions of sales reps. Yet, you are not one of them. Nor are the 6.9 Billion people worldwide.
Plus, you might consider a great leader who personally sponsored 12 people 2,000 years ago. They have all been recruiting via weekly opportunity meetings and one-on-ones for all of those 2,000 years. And yet most of the world does not subscribe to their program and faith.that’s JESUS.
CAUTION!!!
IF you have an idea that you can start a network business,and start making big money right away,then you are thinking like an employee.Infact,such people are often sucked in get-rich quick schemes and scams of life.Actually,the activities of the business are simple,but they require Time and effort to build the foundation of passive income.Don’t be fooled if you hear anyone say that you should see quick results.This is Serious business.ITS YOUR LIFE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.Take your time to learn.Get rich quick is an oxymoro and there is no such reality as SOMETHING FOR NOTHING!
It took time for RAY KROC to build McDonald’s and for Michael Dell to build the Dell computers.It will also take you time to build your network.Why should there be any difference.Most people want money,but are unwilling to invest their times.
tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki…/McDonald.
Robert Kiyosaki, in his book,”Rich Dad and Poor Dad”,he says,”If getting rich were easy,everybody would be rich.That’s why when people ask me what was the number one thing that allowed me to be rich,I say that I didn’t want anybody to tell me what to do.I wanted my freedom so badly.I did not want a job security.I wanted financial freedom.”
As I write this article,am three months old in the business.its perseverance that keeps me going,the trust and the faith I have in myself.When am at the threshold of despair,I glance at these words,”YOU CAN ALWAYS QUIT.WHY DO IT NOW.”as long as I want to quit,I promise myself that I won’t quit today.I will quit tomorrow.
The good thing is that MY TOMORROW NEVER COMES.
What I can sum everything up is, if you like somebody telling you HOW MUCH you can make and WHEN you should ARRIVE and LEAVE work,then,network marketing business isn’t for you.
