Is starting a network marketing business one of your top goals in 2015?



Here are the five facts to network marketing success             

FACT: You must have a defined game plan – a series of “90-day blitzes” – if you are going to succeed in network marketing. If you don’t have a game plan, then you will fail.

FACT: Working hard is irrelevant if your strategies and tactics are flawed.
Working hard in and of itself won’t cause you to succeed in network marketing. Millions of network marketers have worked their fingers to the bone, and failed miserably.

FACT: Working long hours is irrelevant if your strategies and tactics are flawed. Working long hours in and of itself won’t cause you to succeed in network marketing. Millions of network marketers have worked long hours and failed miserably.

FACT: You must learn how to lead a large and productive Team

FACT: MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: The success you achieve in network marketing is determined by the quality of the training you receive, and that which your Team receives. The training you and your Team receive must be competent, effective, and repetitive. If it is not, then it is a guarantee that you will fail. Bad training will cause you to fail. On the other hand, competent, effective, and repetitive training puts the odds of success in your favor; it accelerates and empowers the business-building process, and thus causes your success to happen much quicker.

In other word, the network marketing training you receive is what “makes or breaks” your business.

Regardless of how much money you want to earn as a network marketer –R5000, R10000, or R25000 a month – the success you achieve in network marketing is directly determined by the training you and your Team receive.


Succeeding in network marketing requires that you and your Team receive competent, effective, and repetitive training – and you apply what you learn. There are no exceptions.

Ever wonder why some people make money in network marketing and others don't? Aren't you curious to know why someone can repeatedly get things cranked up, while other people simply struggle? Obviously...there are reasons. And...one of the BIGGEST reasons why some people crank out big checks, and have so many team members do the same is that they have a system. And having an effective follow up strategy is one of the most important things to master in network marketing. 

Spending too much time chasing the wrong people will sink you.
Ever wondered what exactly to say to prospects on the follow-up call after you've exposed them to either a video or audio, brochure or link about your network marketing business?

YOU: Awesome! What else did you like?

B)        NO: If they respond on the negative

YOU (1): Ok, but was there anything you did like about what you saw?

IF YES:

YOU: Do you see how [what they said they like] could help you to [achieve his goal]?

IF NO: Understand that person might not be fit for you, move on.

YOU (2): I understand what you say, but the most important lesson I learnt in life was to get what you have never had, you must do what you have never done.

10 Ways To Find Customers For Your Network Marketing Business



After joining a Network Marketing Company, many distributors quickly discovers that the most difficult part of starting a home business is finding customers.

Having a great product or service that you are sure many people will need isn't good enough. Customers won't find you or your web site just because you have started selling the best juice or service.

If you're having trouble finding clients, here are several suggestions to get you started
Before you can find new customers and increase sales, you need to understand

·         Who your customer is, what value proposition you offer to customer, Build a profile of likely potential customers - in particular, think about what they want and how you can appeal to them. Always aim to be special or offer better value for money than your competitors

·         Know your target active customer base. Focus on people who will buy your products monthly as a consumer because they love the products for its health benefits. Only by having an active customer base can you maximize your bonuses.

·         Find Out Who Your Current Customers Are

·         Defining the Market for Your Product

·         Use the information about your existing customers to develop a target audience for your business in its drive to win new customers and increase sales. 

·         Determine which key messages, features and benefits matter to each potential market. Tell these customers how your business can help them solve their problems.

·         Sell More to Existing Customers

·         Give a little to get a lot. Give away free samples of your product and ask the recipients to tell their friends if they are pleased
·         Work your personal network. Ask your contacts if they know of people who can use your products/ services, or people who may know others who could use your products/ services.

·         Networking and referrals. Landing referrals from networking or past business associations isn't just a cheap way to pick up new business. It's also a way to pick up customers with the highest retention rates. What's more, referral customers tend to purchase more over time and in turn become a source of additional referrals.

From job to job to job till you die?

Do you think having a job is your only option?
What if you suddenly found yourself with no job, no income, a ton of bills, a family you couldn’t feed, the pressure mounting and your hope is dwindling?
How would you and your family stand up to that? 
Don’t Die On Your Job. Our part-time business can help you start earning extra income and resolve your financial struggles. Network marketing lets you develop extra cash flow or a new career at very low startup cost, low overhead, low risk, from home, at your own pace, with unlimited income!
Robert Kiyosaki said, "The richest people in the world look for and build Networks, everyone else looks for work. “There is no such thing as get rich quick. A network marketing business takes work. Treat your home business as a business and you will see success.
Would you like to work 45 years like your parents?
Can you live for the rest of your life with the same routine, the same job, the same paycheck or the same drudgery? If the answer is no, then take action NOW. Not tomorrow, you will wake up and forget about your MLM dream. Don’t Die On Your Job. Try Our Part-Time Home Business   
Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone and pay the price for financial freedom?
Or will you ignore the signs of the times and expect your boss, the government and the bank to take care of you financially for the rest of your life, living below your means and never taking risks to better your family's future?
People are taught to seek job security, rather than financial freedom.
Working longer and harder at your job will not solve your money problems. Start a part-time business.
A 9-5 job is only short term income. It can be a lot or a little, but fundamentally it is still short term... Why? Because the moment you stop working, you stop making money immediately!
It reminds me of Charles Bukowski:
“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so? ”
Are you ready to start earning the income you deserve? Are you ready to start a part-time home business today?
You might be asking yourself; where to find a part time home business opportunity.

Well, you can get immediate access to my profitable home business opportunity, I will take you inside my profitable home business and show you how you too can get the lifestyle you deserve from a company that’s present you with the opportunity to succeed.

How to choose a network marketing company


Of all the decisions you’ll face when starting a network marketing/ home-based business, there is none more important than the company you choose to join. Choose carefully .
Choose the company that will provide you with the opportunity to succeed. 
Unfortunately, there’s been a lot people through the years who got involved with a network marketing company that they “thought” offered them an opportunity to succeed but for some reason the company didn't deliver.
But how to figure out whether or not a company presents you with the opportunity to succeed
Here are the things to look for:

·         The company, and its products or services, and its compensation plan must be appealing to you and to your  prospects and customers, in fact the company and everything that comes with it must have mass appeal
     
  Is the product or service right for you? What is your experience of it? Do you love it? Would you recommend it to your mother? Is there a need for it? Does the company meet that need? Is it good quality and a competitive price?  Yet high enough to thrive? What is their guarantee or repair policy? Could you make a living from retailing it? Is there a demand in the marketplace for the products or services that the company offers – and the bigger the demand, the better. Because if there’s not already a huge demand for the products or services, if there’s not already a market created –then you’ll find yourself pioneering your company’s product line, which means you have create the market, and that’s a real tough thing to do.

·         The compensation plan that the company offers must be fair to all distributors – but it must also reward the overachievers so that they are compensated for their extra productivity, their hard work, their dedication, and their leadership. Is it simple to understand and explain? Does it pay you deep and soon? Can you make immediate income to finance your expansion? Are there bonuses and incentives? Is it competitive with similar products and companies? Does the company pay on time according to their policies? Is the plan stable, or change a lot?  Are other distributors in the company as successful as you want to be?

·         Is the start-up fee low? Do you get enough materials like products, samples, and literature?
And lastly . . . the company must have something special about it, something that makes the opportunity a bit unique, something that makes it stand out from the crowd, something that’s not a luxury, something that’s a part of our daily life.

That’s all there is to picking a company that presents you with the opportunity to succeed. From there on out, it’s all about YOU – and the decisions you make.

You might be asking yourself; where to find a company that’s present you with the opportunity to succeed.     
Well, you can get immediate access to my profitable home business opportunity, I will take you inside my profitable home business and show you how you too can get the lifestyle you deserve from a company that’s present you with the opportunity to succeed.

4 Tips that will drastically improve your prospecting strategy

Not all prospects are prospects.
Too many prospects are nothing more than suspects faking to be a prospect.

Here are 4 ways to identify if who you’re talking to is a 
prospect worthy of your time.

1. Have they told you when they are going to make a decision to buy your products or join you?
Nothing can waste more time than spending time with someone who only winds up saying they’re not going to make a decision for months.

2. Do they have a need (interest) you can help them with?
If they’re not willing to share with you a need you can help them with, then stop wasting your time with them.  There are far more important people you can devote time to.

3. Are you sure they’re the decision maker?
Your ability to close a sale is going to go down dramatically if you’re dealing with someone who is only conveying information to the real decision maker.

4. Do they have the financial ability to buy?

What makes this so bad is many times the person who wants to buy but lacks the ability to buy will come across incredibly sincere.
