In the last posting, I mentioned about the dilemma facing a network marketer who genuinely want to spread the news about good products and services. WHAT our intention is and HOW we communicate our message are two key factors to consider. Yet it is not enough!
With mere intention to help others, our enthusiasm can often 'drown' others. Result? Friends and relatives know that you are wanting to help but avoid you anyway. This happened in my first year of my network marketing journey. Just mastering the essential skills to communicate how network marketing can benefit others is not enough either. Reason? A lot of people simply do not really understand this industry. They often make up their decision based on their preconceived idea about network marketing : 'unethical', 'very hard to achieve success', 'only benefit those who are willing to work many hours a week', 'extremely time consuming - something not worth doing', 'only benefit who joined in the beginning', etc
I presume that you are here because you would like to see what would truly make network marketing work for YOU. Hopefully you can come to an intelligent decision. My intention is to educate you about the SIMPLICITY of this business model ... and that it is complicated by human thoughts! Interesting? Read on!
My tips to you is to know the ABC of network marketing: A= Awareness; B=Belief; C=Clarify.
Let's say that you have heard of terrible stories about how people got ripped off in doing network marketing. Are you aware that there are ethical network marketers out there genuinely doing the day-to-day marketing job, promoting great products or services? Are you aware that some are paid handsomely for their efforts too. Many part-timers I know earn extra income simply by recommending what worked for them. Isn't this way of 'working' simple?
What if you yourself have had negative experiences with network marketing? Say, you worked your butts off but eventually you had to give up because of poor results? I witnessed people come and go in network marketing in the past years. People quit before tasting success they deserve because they are not awareness of the professional way to do this business. Are you aware that they are teams of people enjoying a better quality of life because they are doing it right? They are in the privileged position to mentor others and see others succeed beyond their wildest dreams too. Aren't they contributing a lot to mankind?
My intention is to challenge you to think about 'awareness'. If you are a stay-at-home mum wondering if this is for you, keep thinking. If you have your own career or business but not working really well, I encourage to to explore this industry too. I'm more than happy to provide you with more resources so that you can find out more about network marketing.
P.S. In the next post, I shall write about "Belief". Stay tuned!
