Network Marketing Do's And Don'ts For The Novice

By David Wasserman


Network marketing is an increasingly popular way to make money. In network marketing, you sell a company's products and services, in exchange for a commission from that company. You can also make money by recruiting other people to work for the company in the same way that you do. Although it is possible to make a lot of money with network marketing, it is not easy. By taking the time to study the tips in this article, you will greatly increase your odds of making big profits.

Fundamentally, network marketing is an extension of traditional networking with people in that it seeks to join people based on spoken word advertising. Network marketing is both time and cost effective in that network marketers can select products and/or services and immediately share and broadcast them with friends, family, clients, and customers.

Set up a way to record your prospecting calls. Having these conversations to listen to at a later time will go a long way towards improving your close rate. You will be able to review yourself and see where things went right and where they went wrong. You will also have it to use for trainings and blog articles.

If you want your network marketing business to be a success, then you have to have the mindset that your network marketing business will be a success. You need to focus on this as a true business and not just a hobby that you will tinker with here and there.

Admit the truth about network marketing to allow your readers to trust you and feel comfortable. When discussing the downfalls some marketers face, immediately follow them up with how you have surmounted those hurdles. For example, talk about the fact that some marketers lie to get people to sign up, but your strict policy of honesty has only lead to better results.

Make sure you keep a positive attitude and focus. Many people are in network marketing, and many people enjoy it, but as with everything else, there are also many people who do not like it. Staying positive as you propel yourself through the business world is an essential tool to your success in network marketing.

If your home is in a questionable area, or isn't really presentable on the inside, DON'T invite potential network marketing sign-ups there! Ask to meet them for coffee, or at a park on a nice day. Let them know you'll be running around all day with meetings so you'll need to meet them on-the-go. That will make you look more professional as well. You should buy them a coffee, too!

When marketing your business, use an email address that looks professional. Part of being a good network marketer is your reputation, and great_scott@gmail.com - will get you noticed - but not in a good way. Buy your own domain name for your website and set-up a mail server. Afterwards, use your first and last name as the start of your email address, like SJones@MarketWhiz.com or ScottJones@SalesPro.com.

Multi-task your way up the learning curve. Network marketing involves a lot of information and a lot of learning. Try to learn while you are relaxed so that the information registers. Time is valuable, so look for ways to learn while you have downtime. Carry a good network marketing book with you and read it while you stand in lines or sit in waiting rooms. Get the best network marketing audio books, and listen to them while you drive or do house chores.

Set and analyze clear, concrete goals. If you make a goal to connect with a certain number of people in a month, break that down into how many people you need to connect with in a week, in a day, and in an hour. Not only will this help you visualize your success, it will also show you if you are setting achievable goals.

Achieving success means you need to become educated on whichever opportunity you're attempting in life. In fact, the word "attempt" shouldn't be involved at all. Retract that. You need to put the effort forth to make it happen, not simply to attempt it. The tips you've read here can help you accomplish this, so make sure you use them.
