The Cure For The 4 Major Pitfalls Of Network Marketing

There are many things that plague Network Marketers in general. But there are 4 in particular that stand out and haunt the average Network Marketer on a daily basis. What I will do is break them down and reveal the ONE solution that tackles all 4 problems at the same time.

Problem #1: Lack of Quality Leads
This is a huge problem that is faced by the average Network Marketer and continues to plague the entire industry. And this is because most people are told to pitch anything with a pulse. This is tough because they are trying to recruit the wrong target market. Your friends, family and the average person on the street aren’t interested in what you have to offer.

SOLUTION #1:
Use a system to teach you how to brand yourself as a leader from the front end instead of your business opportunity. This will allow you to create more attraction and move from rospecting to marketing your business properly. Attracting instead of chasing people. By using a good system, you will also be able to target the right target marketing  struggling Network Marketers.

Problem #2: Lack of Marketing Training
Too many Network Marketers spend hours on the computer or put tons of time into their business but still don’t make any head way or generate any profits. It’s because they have no idea what they are doing and are flying blind. There’s no point having 5000 friends on Facebook if you have no idea how to monetize those people.

SOLUTION #2:
Use a system to teach you step by step on how to market effectively both online and offline. It is very important that you learn the most cutting edge marketing techniques so that you can finally gain some traction and have effective marketing campaigns.

Problem #3: Lack of Money
The biggest issue with Network Marketing is that there is only 1 income source. If people don’t join your business in some way, you don’t make a cent. 95% of Network Marketers spend more money than they earn per week, and most of them end up quitting before they can make a decent income from their business because it takes too long to turn a profit.

SOLUTION #3:
Use a system to create multiple streams of income. This is called a Funded Proposal which let’s you build affiliate marketing commissions through the sale of valuable tools and resources that struggling Network Marketers need to improve their business. This is a great way to make quick, short term income from people that aren’t necessarily interested in joining your MLM business. This stops your leads from going to waste.

Problem #4: Lack of Duplication
Once you have had success, you now need to make sure your team can duplicate that success otherwise you’re in trouble. The problem is there is only one of you, and you can’t be in 10 places at once. If your team isn’t successful, you’re not going to be successful.

SOLUTION #4:
You need a system to plug your new team members into, so that they can instantly get the right training and tools that they need to duplicate your success. A good system will also allow new distributors to get into profit quickly because of the Funded Proposal which will increase your retention and your success.

So as you can see, these 4 major problems can be solved by incorporating just one key item into your business a good system. When I finally realized how important it was to implement a good system into my business, my results improved dramatically and saved my business.

Network Marketing- Are You Hunting Or Fishing?

Let’s face it, Network Marketing deserves some of the bad rap it has. Every family has at least one pesky, used car salesman-like network marketer that pesters, bothers, annoys, whines, begs, and pushes their company and or products on their friends and family. They are like hunters, chasing down their prey. And when the prey says no and walks away, they move into stalking mode. They believe the old sales adage that it takes seven no’s to get a yes, so they are now on the hunt, actively tracking down their prey. And the sad part is the prey they are hunting is probably the worst possible prospect. They aren’t looking, they probably aren’t ambitious, and most of the time they’re not even interested. After a few months of chasing friends and family, the lonely hunter retires from the game, and often times ends up with a garage full of product and an angry spouse.

This poor network marketer has gone out into the world, given the industry a bad name, and become an official member of the NFL, or No Friends Left club. And this is a common story in network marketing. Unfortunately, this same person, given the right training and taught the right philosophies, could have just as easily had success. Often times they were just doing what their company told them to do, but here’s a secret of the Network Marketing industry: what’s taught on stage isn’t what the big dogs actually do. And if you don’t have access to the big dog, you don’t get the secret, the professional methods used to create six figure incomes. The heavy hitters of Network Marketing aren’t out on a Thursday night showing presentations to their family and friends. They don’t need to pester their friends and family. They learned the magic secret of the industry, how to put the Marketing in Network Marketing. Network Marketing is a business. It requires marketing. And the average Joe that gets started in the industry usually quits in frustration before they ever come close to finding the methods of marketing that rake in the big bucks. So how do they do it? Well, the first thing that separates the heavy hitter from the bumbling amateur is their posture. Rookies hunt. Heavy hitters fish. There is a big difference between hunting and fishing. Hunters chase things. The things they chase run away. The chase continues until something is exhausted, dead, or both. Fishing is quite different. The fisherman sits on the shore in comfort and casts bait out into the water. The bait is enticing to the fish. The fish is attracted to the bait, and wants to take a bite. When the fish takes a bite, it’s hooked. In other words, the prospect comes to the networker because the networker has something they want. And the bait is cast out in the lake among millions of fish, not into a bucket full of minnows. Why don’t network marketers fish instead of hunt? They don’t know the rules of the game. And the internet has changed the rules. It is now possible, through the miracle of the internet and electronic media, to cast out your electronic bait, (your blog, web-site or presentation),  in front of millions of people, and wait for your bait to capture a prospect. A prospect is somebody that is actively looking for a product or opportunity. A prospect is ready and willing, they are just looking for the right product or opportunity. Network Marketing is a business of sorting and sifting, not hunting and tracking. And whoever sorts and sifts the best, wins. As you read this, you are looking at a computer screen, and have an internet connection. That means you are connected to the entire world. You are within an arm’s reach of over a billion prospects. You just need the right fishing gear. The right gear for this new game of network marketing consists of: A great company that you believe in. Great products that you personally use and can endorse without hesitation and… To be long-term successful, you MUST have a marketing system. A system that offers total training on how to use the internet to build your business and the skills of working with people, so that you get better and better and your people can plug into exactly the same system, making it far easier for you to help them.

2010 Handbook for Life and Business

I just received this from a friend and business associate who is highly successful in our company. I have titled it the 2010 Handbook for Life and Business. Please take a few minutes to review this information. I promise you if you follow these suggestions you will have a life of abundance and happiness.

Health :

1. Drink plenty of water.
2.  Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3.  Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

4.  Live with the 3 E’s Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.

5. Make time to love life.

6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in 2009.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile.

Personality:

11.  Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12.  Don’t  have negative thoughts or worry over things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
13. Don’t over do. Keep your limits.
14. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake.
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
18. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with His/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
20. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
23. Smile and laugh more.
24. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Society:

25. Call your family often.
26. Each day give something good to others.
27. Forgive everyone for everything.
28. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
29.  Try to make at least three people smile each day.
30. What other people think of you is none of your business.
31. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:

32. Do the right thing!
33. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
34. GOD is love and love heals everything.
35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
37. The best is yet to come.
38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
39. Your Inner most self  is always happy. So, be happy!

Last but not least:

40. Please forward this blog to everyone you care about, so they can discover what you just did.

Remember In Networking coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.
