Network Marketing Distributors

Hello everyone,

This will be my last post before the holidays.

I have been playing around with skype a little bit and you may be asking yourself how can “Skype” help my network marketing business. In case some of you do not know what skype is. It is software that you can download from the internet for free and it allows you to dial your friends for free and be able to have a live video call with the person as long as both parties have a webcam and speakers. It is a pretty neat piece of software.

This can help your business two fold. First of all, what about having your prospect view a presentation about your business opportunity and being able to instantly stop them at any point and talk face to face to them via skype. What an awesome presentation you could put forth and the prospect will more than like think this person has their act together. Second of all, you build instant credibility with your prospect when he/she sees you live via a video feed from pc to pc. The prospect now sees you as a real live being and not just some autoresponder or blogger or faceless person on the phone.

I suggest you add this to your methods of talking to prospects but as I stated this will only work in they too have a webcam or speakers. If you and some friends have a webcam just test it out and play around with it until you feel comfortable and add it as a powerful resources to building relationships and your business.

I wish each and everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Let’s continue on our series of problems of networkers. This is part three of our discussion.

There seems to be a misconception that once you join your network marketing company all you have to do is sponsor a few people and you are on your way. That leads me to how are you going to advertise or market your business to find the right people. Yes, there is marketing involved and there are only two methods: free vs. paid. Only you can decide which method is right for you. It may be one or it may be both methods. I suggest you use both because there are good and bad in both.

Let’s deal with free first. There are many avenues for free advertising. I don’t pretend to know them all and besides they are to numerous to name, but I will suggest if you are beginning to advertise especially on the internet, you start with some type of free method. Test a few methods at a time and by all means track your results. Those that produce results keep using them and tweak a little to get better performance. Those that do not perform as well as you like; delete them from your arsenal.

You can basically follow the same steps for paid advertising. Find a place where you want to submit an ad and track its performance. Ads that perform you keep; those that do not you get rid of.

Success is within you!

A few days ago we talked about the type of business builders or leads for your business. Today for a few minutes let’s discuss who will actually be using your product or service. Here is where I say you can tap into your family and friends if your product is generic enough. When I say generic enough, it is not some nutritional product that helps with a certain type of ailment. If it is suppose to help a certain ailment you would have to talk to family and friends that have those certain ailments.

Let’s talk about a method that you can develop but it will take a little bit of time and education on your part. First you need to decide what people are searching for on the internet. Then you want to create some type of ad to target those people with ailments your product will help. Once you generate traffic, you can start contacting those people that responded to your ad. As I said this will take some time but you want your target market because your product holds the most value to them.

Look out for part 3 which will be called Problems of Networkers – Advertising.

Success is within you!

Let’s tackle who to let know about your business. You were probably told to make a list and let’s start contacting them. The main purpose is for creating business partners. How did that work for you? In some cases well, some not so well.

Let’s begin by first defining who we want to talk to and I am talking business builders here and not just product users. How do you determine your target market? You may be asking what a target market is. Your target market should be people seeking to change their lives and who want to be entrepreneurs. Many say they are looking for a home business but most are looking for jobs. Those forms where people fill out online are attracting job seekers and not entrepreneurs and some are not seeking either.

The job seeker is the last person you want to talk to about your business and it is easy to see why. They are looking for a job and income right now; not residual income in the future. You could run across a person that wants to be an entrepreneur in this group but it will be few and far between.

You are looking for someone that has either been in business already, someone who understands network marketing, or someone who is currently in network marketing but may not truly be active. They could be seeking another business as they are no longer interested in promoting what they are currently involved with.

I have given you a lot to think about here and I sincerely hope you take the time to contemplate what has been said. Part 2 of the LEADS piece will come to you in a few days so be on the lookout for Problems of Networkers – Product Users.

Success is within you!

Hello,

To all my loyal readers I am getting back into the swing of posting regularly again. I took on a couple of additional tasks over the last couple of months and it has taken away from me posting on my blog. Anyway, I am back now so let’s get started.

If I have heard this once, I have heard it a thousand times. Should I build my organization wide or deep. Regardless of what type of comp plan your company has you should never ever stop recruiting. You should figure out how to maximize the plan. My suggestion is to build your business wide and deep. You should always look for sharp-minded individuals to be on your front line and teach the same concept to your business partners. This method will allow you to build depth as your team members should be taught to emulate what you are doing to create maximum benefits from the comp plan.

However you decide to build your network marketing business keep this in mind. Always build to take full advantage of the compensation plan.

Until next time success is within you,
Rodney
