How to become a successful Network Marketer

Integrity, trust, and duplication are keys to success – Build your name like you are building a brand

1) Make friends first and business later. People buy from other people they know and trust, not by being sold. Build a friendship first by finding things in common to talk about and getting to know each other. Building a tight bond and trust will lead to building a solid active team. Those referrals that you sold will not trust you enough to ask for your help and guidance and will likely not be very success.

2) Provide information – be the “go-to” guy or the “guru.” Use the Pay It Forward mentality. Offer help and assistance without expecting anything in return. Build up your credibility and when you lead, they will follow. If you are genuinely interested in helping others, it will show and you won’t actually have to lead for they will want to walk side by side with you.

3) Duplicate, duplicate, duplicate – in real estate it’s all about location, location, location, but to be successful networking and building an online business it’s all about duplication, duplication, duplication. If you are successful in what you do, by all means share that with your network. The more they know, the more productive they are and the more likely they won’t quit. We all only have 24 hours in a day, but if you learn the power of leveraging time you’ll be very successful. Each person you invest time in to get them all properly trained will pay back 10 folds. After all, would you rather be working hard by yourself or have an army of trained and knowledgeable “Mini Mes” working as hard and as smart as you. The last time I checked people who are making money don’t quit.

4) Don’t be sold on the hype – everything worth anything takes a lot of hard work to get

** i) Think of the future and not just the present – Think of it like planting a seed. All the seeds you plant today will bear lots of fruits in the near future.

** ii) It takes a couple of months to learn how to properly do a new job one gets. It takes a couple years for most businesses to generate a decent profit. So don’t expect to have success overnight.

** iii)Success overnight means “Get Rich Quick Schemes” – don’t fall for this it will ruin your credibility

5) Don’t join in to many opportunities at once for you will spread yourself too thin. Focus on one, or at most a couple opportunities at a time if they can go hand-in-hand together. If you join too many you will not be able to focus enough attention to get any one of your opportunities off the ground.

6) Don’t hesitate to ask for help – Use and abuse your mentor or sponsor. Pick his/her brain. To be successful you have to learn from someone who is successful. Don’t try to struggle to reinvent the wheel.

7) Always make time to learn new things. If you want to be a “guru” you have to be willing to learn what you don’t know. Learn new things so you can pass it on and teach your referrals.
