Many people go about starting a network marketing company
all wrong. The first thing they do is to tell all their friends and family, does
the full court press on everyone they see. Which, is admirable, and eventually
you will get around to talking to all these people if you are doing your business
correctly. However, those are not the things you should be doing first.
Be excited! Yes, I promote the heck out of that. There is no
feeling like the excitement of starting a new business and the hope that you
are about to embark on a project that will not only lead you to meeting new
people and making new relationships, but it is time to make more money! BE excited and passionate about your new
career.
Okay, what should you do first if not to run around and
annoy the world on social media every five minutes, making your friends
terrified of answering their phones? Many
people get super excited and blow up their Facebook™ and other social media,
call and text all their family and friends. But…you need to learn your
business, products, and compensation plan top to bottom BEFORE you talk to anyone.
I know some of you are saying duh…however, most people start a home based
business and know absolutely nothing about the business they are in other than
what they heard from the person who recruited them line for line. This is not going to work for the average
person and eventually you will become unmotivated because you are not
recruiting or making sales. People know when they are being snowed and people
will be able to see when you are just repeating what you heard instead of
speaking from authority. So first thing first: read, study, take notes, watch
all the videos, and talk to not only the person who recruited you, but who
brought them into the company.
Knowledge is power, I know you have heard this
before but it is true. When you know what you are talking about and you start
talking with your prospects, with knowledge you will have a natural confidence
in your posture and in your tone. People will feel this radiating off of you
and will pay more attention to what you have to say. Okay, so first is knowledge, know what the
heck you are going to say and how to say it. Second, hop on You Tube™ and
listen to people like Gary Vaynerchuk, this person in my opinion is one of the
best educational and motivational speakers today. I also recommend Admiral
McRaven’s speech that he does at the University of Texas graduation. Personally
I listen to that speech every few months just to realign my head; it is an
amazing speech that will change your life in ten minutes. Finally I know your
company has produced webinars and You Tube™ videos, watch listen and learn. Then
apply what the leaders of your companies are telling you! Chances are they are making
excellent money and enjoying a healthy business and lifestyle. Do not try to
reinvent the wheel. It works already! Learn and do, so when you are a rock star
in the industry, you can teach others how you got it done, until then….follow
the leader!
