How To Tap Into Your Network's Potential

By Bryan Frances


A lot of entrepreneurial minded folks consider network marketing as a potential income stream. However, many are dissuaded from attempting it, due to a lack of knowledge and intimidation. Read on, for some tricks of the trade that will ease your entry into this lucrative opportunity or will help you if are already involved in network marketing.

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.

Use online forums and blogs to constantly learn more tips about running a network marketing company. Ask questions on forums and read other people's advice. These forums can be a wealth of knowledge that will help you on your journey. Avoid spending all day on them though, make sure to schedule your forum time into your day.

It is good to focus on a single network marketing opportunity, but if you feel you can handle more, go for it! Sometimes a new company will come to you that you feel strongly about, and if you already have a marketing strategy set up for another company that you can use for both, why not?

It is important to keep track of the money you make in your network marketing strategy. There has to be a point where you choose whether or not to continue if you're not making enough profit to survive on. When that point is can be set before you sign up so you won't have any doubt in your mind if that time comes.

As a network marketer working as a recruiter, you will have to show and prove the financial capabilities of what you're doing. People cannot feel as if they're being used to pad your personal bank account. Show them examples of people who've made money and how they can follow that path.

You need to make sure you set a schedule to work on your business and stick with that schedule. If you do not put the time you need to into your network marketing business, then it will fail. Just like with everything else, you must put time and effort into what you are doing in order to succeed.

Sponsoring a charity can help you get the word out about your business. Often, sponsorships come in various levels based on how much you donate, so you can be flexible about how much you have to give. This will get your name out to hundreds or thousands of people locally who may be interested in what you're doing.

Network marketing is a business like any other and that means you need to develop a business plan. If you just decide to "wing it," you are pretty much guaranteeing that you are going to go down in flames. Develop your plan, write it down and stick to it. Failure to plan becomes a failure to succeed.

Practice your recruiting efforts before you ever speak with a potential contact. Practice with another member of the network, so that you can make mistakes with them that don't end up costing you money. The more you practice, the better a recruiter you'll be, and the more successful contacts you will have.
