Five Tips To Success in Network Marketing

Reciprocation

Studies have shown that when a discounted item is compared with the offer of a free product, we are always more likely to take the free product than the discounted item. There is something about that word, free, that we just can’t resist. The higher we perceive the value of the free gift, the greater we feel obliged to the person that is offering it to us.  Anytime you can give visitors something of value, the more likely you are of converting them into customers.  The principle of reciprocation is very powerful and well documented.

In one study there was the sale of raffle tickets. People were offered a can of Coke without any obligation to buy a ticket. The people who took the can of Coke, bought twice as many raffle tickets than those who did not. When people accept something of value, they feel an obligation to you. Remember, a discounted item is not a free gift.

Commitment

Once a person has started down a path, they are far more likely to continue down that path and believe in a positive outcome, than they ever did before they started. If you have a form that is long and difficult to get through, even if it is only one page, you will be less likely to complete it, over a form that is simple and easy to follow. If your website or blog is easy to maneuver around and the sign up simple to follow, your conversion rate will go up. Make sure what you are offering is out in front where it can be spotted with no trouble.

Acceptance

Before we join any group, we want to make sure that the people in that group have similar needs. Nobody wants to feel like the last person picked for the team. We want to join a group that we feel we can fit in with. We want to be with a successful group where we can also learn to be successful. We want to be with leaders that can lead. When talking with your prospects show opportunities of success with other clients that are just as they are.

Explanation

Two groups of people were studied. They were to go into long lines of people and ask to cut in line. One group just simply asked courteously, if they could cut in, and were allowed to do so 60% of the time. The other group also asked courteously if they could cut in line, but they added, “because I’m in a rush.” This group was allowed 94% of the time. Whenever we ask for information online, weather a commitment to buy, or personal information, adding a “because” statement to it will increase your chances of a good result.

Credibility

The “professional” look of your website, will convince 47% of the people that visit it, if it’s credible or not. Spelling errors, poor navigation and an amateurish look, will drive traffic away and make it harder for you to convince people that you are reliable. Your home page’s appearance is key to the success that you will have. Make sure that it represents your best side.

Buying is a very emotional decision for most people. Buyers like to think of themselves as logical and practical. The truth of the matter is that we will shop until we reach our comfort level, and than we will buy. The design of your website will help people reach that comfort level, because you will be perceived as someone that they want to do business with.

By understanding and putting into action, these five tips to success in your network marketing business, and you will see an increase in your conversions.

Network Marketing is Not About Sales – It’s About Leadership

How many times have you heard the saying, don’t live above your means. Stay below the income level you have set for yourself. If that’s the mind set that you carry,  you will never be successful in network marketing or in any other business for that matter.

Their are four kinds of people in the world today.

The first one is the person that always has to be right. This person is so engrossed in proving that they are right and you are wrong, that they loose all focus on anything else. Their total goal is prove this fact at any cost. They will never make good business owners because their whole mindset is all wrong.

The second person is the always looking to be comfortable. This person’s house could be burning down around them, but as long as they have their remote in their hand and the football game on TV, they are OK. Comfortable people are always willing to let other people do all their work. They are not willing to roll up their sleeves and get into the game and get dirty themselves.

The third type of person is the one who always wants to be liked. They are not willing to say the right thing for fear that someone will not like what they say. They worry about everybody thinks about them, over getting the work done. They just want to be well liked and the work and the success goes by the wayside.

The fourth person is the one I hope all of you are. You want to win. These people have a drive and a penchant to get into the winners circle. It’s all about getting the work done and doing what it takes to win. No excuses and no letting up. It’s win or nothing else. These people are the ones you want on your team and in your organization.

When I was younger and played sports, coach would always say, “you will play as hard as you practice.” The serious players, the ones that wanted to win, would practice and practice hard. They wanted to make themselves better than anybody out there. I realize that this same principle works in your network marketing business.

The serious players will be the ones burning the midnight oil on leadership training. Writing the articles and making the videos. Connecting with people and mentors that will make them better than anyone out there. That will make more effective leadership. Remember the cream will rise to the top.

These are the leaders that you want on your team. These are the leaders that you must become. The leader that can grow and mature and build an organization. One that he can lead and duplicate himself through. No one makes it to the top by himself.

Network marketing is not about sales, it’s about leadership development. Qualify people to join your organization. Be selective and your organization will reward you with true leaders and a residual income that can last a lifetime. One that you can pass down to your kids and grand kids.

Remember. Wealth is not measured by how much money you have. It’s measured by how much time you have. Your hard work today will pay you for a long long time down the road.

Now I have to go. I have a tee time in an hour.

Gold and Silver or The Acai Berry. Which Would You Rather Have?

I’m a network marketer. Whenever I tell folks that, they back up a little and think that I’m going to attempt to tell them about some juice or vitamin. Perhaps the new oil I am able to put in my auto or a new water to drink that may change my molecular structure and be in robust health for the remainder of my life, or perhaps some new and better washing detergent. In fact, there are roughly 4800 network marketing corporations out there. There’s a lot to select from.

I was chatting to a woman recently and she was telling me about the billion dollar company that she has her network marketing business through, but she wouldn’t let me know the name. It took me 10 minutes to get her to finally let me know that she’s in Mona-Vie. It was like she was ashamed to give that information. Why?

Mona-vie is a billion dollar company. Mona-vie is a good company with a good product. Mona-vie juice contains the acai berry. This tiny small berry has been judged to have some awesome nutritional importance to it. It holds plenty of good anti oxidizing compounds that our body needs to keep us healthy. There’s one thing. There are over 200 network marketing companies that market juice. All of them make really similar claims. This lady was nearly scared to tell me the name of her internet marketing business, because network marketing has always been looked on in such a negative way. They will run from you when you say that you are connected to the network marketing industry.

But what if you were in an organization that had no competition? No-one else was doing what you were doing. And what if that business was promoting a product that everyone needed? Well I’m involved with an organization that does precisely that. Numis Network. Silver and gold Numismatic Collectible Coins. Numis Network is the sole company that’s promoting these pretty gold and silver collectible assets through the use of the network marketing industry. Talk about an open market. There isn’t anyone else doing this.

These coins are assets you can put in the asset column of any form or document that you are filling out. The rich buy assets while the remainders of us are purchasing debt. With what’s occurring to our economy, it just could be a great idea to have gold and silver assets to add to your list of assets.

Think about that for a minute. What if I was to drive up to your place and I had a trunk full of juice and vitamins. I told you clearly that you can have as much as you wanted. Would you take any? Sure you could take two cases of juice and some bottles of vitamins. What if I came over to your home with a trunk full of silver and gold assets? I claimed that you can have all that you would like. Would you take any? Totally, you would take each single one that I had.

That is the great thing about Numis Network. No one is ever going to assert that they have too many silver and gold assets. Nobody is ever going to call you and tell you to stop sending them those darn silver and gold assets that continue coming each month. “My closets are packed with them. What am I going to do? “ You don’t ever have to stress about hearing that, regardless of whether or not you ever grow a business or organization in Numis Network.

You’ve got to agree that it is better to get an ounce of silver sent to your home each month. These are assets that have real value.

I can recollect when I had cash taken out of my paycheck each week for savings bonds. I remember getting savings bonds as a present from my grandparents. Now I just give out silver assets. Graduations and birthdays, and then watch the expressions on their faces when they see an ounce of silver in an absolutely beautiful numismatic collectible coin.

Are you working in a job which has no limitations and no restrictions to how much you can make? Are you working in an enterprise that you can pass down to your youngsters or grandchildren? I am. I’m also clearing some new space in my closet. I got a feeling I am going to need  it. That darn mailman…..he keeps bringing me more of those silver assets.

Network Marketing Business

Unemployment in the United States is around 10%.  One in every 136 homes are in foreclosure. Over one million homes will be repossessed by the banks this year alone.

Makes your head spin doesn’t it. Our country and the rest of the world is in a very weak and teetering economic structure.

I know people that had very good secure jobs, or so they thought, and they are now delivering pizza or flipping burgers to make ends meet. Maybe you are one of them.

With all that bad news, I want to shed some light for all of us to consider. If you ever thought about starting a business, now might be the time to do just that. I don’t mean a brick and mortar business. I mean a network marketing business. Now before you close this page and walk away, hear me out.

The network marketing business is a 120 billion dollar a year business. If you were in this industry, you would be with some very good company. Mary Kay, Herbalife, and Avon are network marketing businesses that have over a billion dollars in sales every year. Now you might be thinking, “I don’t want to sell vitamins or cosmetics.” Well there are about 4800 other network marketing companies to choose from. Do some research and I am sure you would find the right fit for you and your families needs.

There are many advantages for starting a network marketing business. The first is the low start up cost. Most network marketing businesses can be started with as little as $300 to $15oo dollars. That’s a far cry from the 100k plus that you would need for a brick and mortar business.

The second advantage is the tax right offs that are available to a small business operator. The government allows for a number of deductions that can be used. Business telephone, office space, and some travel expenses. I am not a tax consultant, but check with your tax adviser to find which ones apply to your particular business.

The third advantage is the ability to set your own hours. Weather you are doing this full time or on a part time basis. It’s your business so set it up to comply with your needs. If your a single parent, want to only work four or five hours a day, or you want to only work the week ends, you can work your new business into any life style you choose. I know some people that are working 70 and 80 hours a week at their brick and mortar businesses. Why? Because they are the business.

The fourth advantage is to work from your own home. Thus the title, home based business. Now not everyone will want to do this. Some may want to have their own office outside from their home.  That is your own personal preference.

My office is in my home. I don’t have to get up in the morning and fight the traffic to and from work. I can take a break in the comfort of my own home, when I want. Don’t need all the expense of suits and dry cleaning. Gas in my car, and the wear and tear of my automobile.

With all that said, I can’t leave this page without putting in a plug for my primary business.

I am in the gold and silver business. Numismatic Gold and Silver Collectible coins. Numis Network is pioneering the sale of graded silver and gold numismatic coins through the network marketing industry. Graded numismatic collectible silver and gold coins have never been sold through this method before. Coins are a 100 billion dollar a year industry.

If silver and gold doesn’t interest you, there are 4699 other companies in the network marketing arena that you can check out.

I urge you, if you are seeking another stream of income or are looking for a career change, why not try starting your own business. Your own network marketing business. A 120 billion dollar a year industry is nothing to sneeze at.

Your First Step In Network Marketing

What if you were ready to go into the operating room for brain surgery, and you saw the brain surgeon reading the instruction manual before he operated on you.  Probably you would jump off the table, and who would blame you? A brain surgeon goes through years of training and years of internship before he can ever take a scalpel in his hand.

The same goes for anyone and your first step in network marketing. You just can’t read a book, listen to a CD and expect to be a seasoned marketer. You need to learn. Like a newborn baby needs to crawl before he can walk and he needs to walk before he can run. There is a training and a learning period that all successful marketers must go through. Taking a short cut, could short circuit your road to success.

I see so many people that come into network marketing, and think that they can simply go to one training or read a book and they have it all. They take off like a rocket and come down just as fast. These are the ones that will go one or two months and say, ” this isn’t working. I quit!” Which is good because you don’t want these kind of people in your organization anyway.

You need to find successful marketers that are where you want to be. You need a mentor and someone that you can be accountable too. Follow them. Learn from them. Do what they do. Duplicate their system. They have been down the road you are traveling. They can show you where all the holes are and lead you to the things that work. There are a lot of companies and systems that just sign you up and say good luck. Find successful people that will work with you and learn.

You need to define a time line of two to five years. You wouldn’t start a brick and mortar business by reading a book or listening to a cd and expect to have success? You would study and research and invest in your training to be the best you could be. Don’t think your network marketing business is any different.

Learn, study, and research. Hook up with the successful leaders. Emulate and duplicate them. This is your business. Treat it like a business and it will pay you like a business. Treat it like a hobby, it will pay you like a hobby.

Do you want to be successful? Get out of the box. 95% of all people are in the box. Don’t listen to all those people who are yelling at you from inside the box. Be one of the 5%.

Successful people are not like 95% of the worlds population. They are different. They go that extra. They take that calculated risk. They learn and work to be the best. They are far from being average.

Yes, read those books. Listen to the Cd’s. Go to the seminars. Absorb everything like a sponge. What you learn will be more than the other 95% of those other marketers………who are still in the box.

Become a Duplicator and Become a Success in Network Marketing

I am learning to become the great duplicator in my network marketing business. As a matter of fact we must all become a duplicators. Become a duplicator and become a success in network marketing.

My three year old grand-daughter follows me around my house where ever I go. She has become my shadow. Even when I go into my office, she will follow me in there. We are getting better at setting some rules down for her, but she is going to be a true network marketer when she grows up. I can tell because once you get her started talking, she is hard to shut down. A sign of a true network marketer.

She likes to imitate or duplicate everything that I do. She has become a duplicator of her grandpa. That’s exactly what all of us should become of the leaders in our network marketing business. Find the successful and top earners and duplicate what they do and you will be successful. These people have already gone down the road that you are traveling. They know where the potholes and curves are at. They can steer you in the right direction. All you have to do is become a master of duplication.

Listen to a webinar, read a book, or have a phone conversation, and write down the answers that you found. Implement those in your business and find out which ones worked and which ones didn’t. Pass that information onto the people in your organization. Chances are, they are struggling with the same things that you are. They are looking for answers too. You give them the information that they need to help them become duplicators also.

We live in an information age. People that have the answers and the information are the people who are sought after. They are the ones that are successful. As you are learning and growing in your business, you pass your experience and information out to others. You will start to stand out and pull away from all the other peddlers in the ocean who are just looking for someone to market their products too.

With your growing knowledge of marketing, you will know more than 90% of all other marketers. You will stand out as a leader and one who leads with value and not just another clone of everybody else. This is why you should be at every function of your business. You should be on all the webinars. Glean everything that you can from the leaders in your network marketing business. Use it and pass this valuable information on to others.

You must always carry the two P’s with you. Patience and persistence.  Remember this is not going to happen over night. It is going to take time to develop your skills and experience. Over time, your hard work, patience and persistence will make you a true leader with a great organization and a successful network marketing business.

Network Marketing Success is Duplication

Attraction Marketing Rule #3

You Must Become a Student of Your Craft:

“Before you can increase your profits you must increase your value.” Jim Rohn said that.

I love sports. I played sports when I was much younger. If you wanted to be the best at what you were doing, you had to be a master at your position. I played hockey, and there is a lot more involved to the game then just skating and hitting people. Someone said that sports is 90% mental and 10% physical. I do believe that is true. You have to be much more then physical to compete in any sport today.

Michael Jordan used to shoot six to 800 shots everyday. Why do you think he was so good at making those clutch shots at the buzzer. He did those shots everyday when he practiced. What kid didn’t go over and over in his mind dreaming of shooting the winning shot at the final buzzer. When you play that scenario out in your mind everyday, you are going to have that opportunity some day in your life. You want it so bad you can taste it. So you work at it all the time.

The same should be true of your network marketing business. Treat your business like your life depended on it and you will be successful. Treat it like a business and take it seriously and it will reward you. Treat it like a part time hobby, and that is all it will pay you.

You will become like the top five people that you hang around with. There is the story of three people walking down the street. One was dressed up as a clown.  A little boy, walking with his mother, saw the three people. He said to his mother, ” Look Mom at the clowns”. You see the little boy just blended the other two people that were not dressed as clowns as being  clowns, simply because of the clown they were walking with. You will blend into the people who you hang around wit. You may even start dressing like they do, or thinking like they do. It’s a very slow but subtle change.

Don’t walk with clowns. Walk with the successful people. People that are where you want to be.  People that are doing the right things and making the right moves. Emulate those people and do what they do and you will be successful in network marketing.

Are the people that you are surrounding yourself with holding the same qualities and character that you want to emulate in your business? If you want to become a better prospector, a better marketer, than you want to hang with the Mike Dillards, Jeffery Combs, and Cedrick Harris’s of the world. You should be listening to their Cd’s, reading their books. Be a sponge and take in everything that these leaders in the network marketing world have to offer. Copy them and watch your business grow.

If you had to have brain surgery, would you feel comfortable going into the operating room and glancing over at the surgeon reading the introductory manuel for brain surgery? Probably not.

So many people get into network marketing and are not willing to take the time to learn their trade and learn if from the guys who are doing it and doing it well. Be the best you can be. Become a student of your craft. Take those 800 shots everyday at practice. You will become so proficient at what you do, it will be like breathing. You won’t even have to think about it. Soon your hard work will payoff. You will find yourself at the top looking down.
