Network Marketing Specialist Tips: Success is in the Process

Hi, welcome back!

Last time we summarized the 3 simple steps for achieving sucesss in network marketing. In this blog, we will be talking about WHAT exactly needed to be done to get good results.

As Jerry 'DRhino' Clark and many successful network marketers say, this is a SIMPLE business. The essential activities that can bring people into your organization is to PROMOTE what you are doing.

If you have been in the business for a while, you may have heard people say TTP (Talk To People) and that networking marketing is a 'Number's Game'. I know for sure that simply talking to people is not going to work! Most people start with great enthusiasm and practically 'drowned' all the people they talked to! In my very first year in network marketing, I was excited about the efficacy of the products and the business opportunity. I consistently promoted the products or opportunity to many of my friends and relatives. What happened? After one year in network marketing, NO-ONE joined! I felt rejected and hurt because I was taking people's responses personally.

To avoid this pitfall, you have to learn to Talk To People (TTP) professionally. This means that you have to totally put aside your own agenda (no matter how hourable that may be) - helping others to get quality products, introducing others to a wonderful opportunity, sharing the health information and testimonials, etc. That is, instead of focusing on what you want to achieve, focus on listening to others and finding out what the other person wants.

This process involve:
1) building rapport with others so that they are OPEN to what you are going to say
2) listening well to decide if your products or services can solve the other
    person's problems (health, financial, personal relationship, etc).
3) asking questions to clarify your understanding of the other person's
    goals and dreams
4) asking questions to see if the other person is ready for any change
5) offering information (websites, books, CDs, DVDs, etc) so that that person
    can make an informed decison whether or not he/she would like to join your
    company

One important thing that professional network marketers must master is the ability to let go when people have reviewed the information and decided that the products and/or opportunity is not for them (for WHATEVER reason). To do network marketing ethically, we must respect others' decision. For those who are really keen on learning more about HOW to 'go through the process', I recommend Tim Sales' training material.

In our Team, we encourage TTP AND TTP (Talk to People AND Trust The Process). Success is in the Process. Those who keep sowing the seeds professionally will eventually reap the results they desire!
Non-quitters are winners in network marketing!

Network Marketing Specialist Tips - Mastering Your 'Internal Dialogue'

Let's start by summarizing the network marketing tips so far:

1) A = Awareness - that network marketing is a legitimate business model that
           can help you earn 'residual income'
2) B = Belief in the network marketing company (solid foundation), the products
           or products/services AND, most importantly, your belief that YOU can do
           network marketing right.
3) C = Clarity - you have a clear vision regarding what are you going to achieve
           and when are you going to achieve it. (Note: I did not mention 'HOW' as
           this is not as important as your WHY' (the reasons why you are in network
           marketing in the first place.).

In the last blog, we talked about the importance in getting started. This means that you have to get started without first knowing HOW you are going to accomplish your goal.

Let's now take an honest look at what most people do. Yes, they have started, have A (Awareness), B (Belief) and C (Clarity). You yourself may be in this category or personally know someone in this category....AND... not suceeding! WHY?

Jerry 'DRhino' Clark, a network marketing expert who became a millionnaire in his late 20s summarizes well: In order to succeed in network marketing, you need  to master your 'internal dialogue' so that you can go through the 3 simple steps and be successful:

   1) Get started
   2) Go in the process (taking action)
   3) Don't quit

According to Jerry, many people who signed up in doing network marketing have not even gone through the process. Many have not mastered their own 'internal dialogue' and therefore not having the absolute conviction that they can succeed in this network marketing industry (simply by following the foot steps of successful network marketers). That is, people tend to give up far too easily.

In order that you will not give up too readily, you need to follow strictly what are required for success. In the system that I am using, we focus on identifying the deepest desire WHY someone would like to succeed in network marketing. We then focus on a special 30-day program to assist people with getting the 'internal dialogue' right. This means that they will then have a strong desire to succeed AND a right mental attitude to do the simple daily actions required.

The whole process is what we call 'Success is in the Process'!

I hope this information can assist you to take action in the right direction and save you years of unnecessary exploration or 'failure' in your network marketing journey.

Network Marketing Specialist TOP TIPS - Get Started !

Welcome back! Today, I am introducing Don Failler and will use his simply analogy about traveling by car from A to B to explain what you should do if you are aware that network marketing is the 'vehicle' that can bring you an additional source of income. 

Don and his wife Nancy are a success story and they enjoy a lifestyle most people can only dream about. Google his name and you are able to find a lot of helpful information. His way of explaining 'residue income' of $100 a month = having about $50,000 in you bank savings account is a great way to keep network marketers self motivated. Watch his short video clips and decide for yourself if you'd like to keep learning so that you can earn that extra $50, $100, $500, $1000 or more a month by investing your time and energy in network marketing.

Here is his analogy (story): Let's imagine you want to take a trip in the family car and leave rainy Melbourne and drive to sunny Brisbane. The sunshine in Brisbane will represent reaching the top in the program that you're in. When you are there, you are SUCCESSFUL, you’re AT THE TOP! The FIRST thing that you have to do is to GET IN and GET STARTED. There isn't anybody in network marketing who has made a lot of money unless they first got started.

Oops, here our logic comes in - "WHY should I get started when I do not even know HOW to do the business?" Since the failure rate in network marketing is well over 90%, wouldn't it make sense that I'd rather not start at all? Or, perhaps it is wise to be cautious and just watch and 'see how things go'?

I would encourage you to ask yourself:

      Is network marketing a legitimate business model?

      What steps do I need to take to avoid the pitfalls ? 

      Where can I go to learn the essential skills needed for success?

      Can I do it whilst having a full time job? 

      What about I am too busy doing household chores? 

SUCCESS in network marketing is A JOURNEY. We get in, start learning how to do the business professionally and TAKE ACTION. As we go, our skills are fine-tuned. Success is achieving each SMALLER GOALS towards the ultimate goal. With Don’s idea about having extra savings in the bank account, would you consider earning an extra $20, $50, $100 a month as a success? Is that not a step bringing you closer towards your larger goal (say, of earning $1000, $5000, $10,000, etc a month, whatever your goal is) ?

A question to ponder: Do I want to learn whatever it takes to be successful in network marketing and earn the 'residue income' that I deserve? 

Enjoy the exploratory journey :))

Network Marketing Specialist Tip No. 3: C=Clarity

Welcome back!

If you are following the network marketing specialist tips so far, you may find yourself checking if:
   - you are AWARE  that network marketing DOES WORK;
   - you BELIEVE that the products and/or services are what some people needs;
   - you yourself really believe that you can do this business.

Okay, you may now wonder what else is vital to become a network marketing specialist. Let's look at C= Clarity. Many successful network marketers would say it is your WHY. In other words, you need to have a crystal clear idea of why you are doing this business. Many people think that they would like to have more money. But what does 'having more money' mean? For a stay-at-home mum, it may mean having enough money for the children's future education. It may mean that when her husband retires, they do not have to worry about compromising their lifestyle. It is only when you are clear about your emotional reasons for doing network marketing that you can stay focused on your goals. You will then have this "No Matter What, I Am Going to Make It Happen" mindset to bullet-proof your network marketing journey.

In network marketing, you are your own boss. The things that are easy to do are also easy NOT to do! The simple activities that needed to be done can easily be distracted by other daily routine. Interesting? You may find yourself doing a great job in keeping the house spotless but cannot 'find' the time to do network marketing. You may find yourself spending an hour a day on small talks with friends rather than actually doing what you know that needed to be done!

If you have a deep desire to become successful in network marketing, I encourage you to honestly ask yourself if you have A (Awareness), B (Belief) and C (Clarity) in place. From there, you have a solid platform to develop the skills required to become a network marketing specialist.
