Framework You Need To Build a Network Marketing Business
Mindset
Developing a positive mindset is one of the most important skills that you can learn as a network marketer. Unless you change the way you think about your business, there will be a limit to how much you can earn. One of the most difficult tasks is to let go of your employee mentality and start thinking like an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurs think differently than employees. An entrepreneur looks for opportunities to improve their business rather than simply following the plan that a boss has laid out for you. An employee is told what to do and avoids work whenever possible. In contrast an entrepreneur designs his own workday and how to proceed in his or her business. They attribute growth and progress to work rather than drudgery. A negative mindset leads to a negative outcome and vice versa a positive outcome leads to a positive outcome.
The entrepreneur must also be able to work hard and have confidence in their own abilities. When you are confident in yourself you will take more action, leading to positive change. If you need help and support then seek it out. First with your company or brand training, your upline or other leaders in your company. Invest in yourself and seek out mentors and gurus in the niche that you are working in. It can make the world of difference in your level of success.
Learn a Skillset
- One of the skills that you will need to learn is how to find prospects. There are many trainings and instruction available on you tube that give you an idea about how to go about this. Once you master this skill you will never run out of leads.
- Invite. Once you have found your prospects you need to figure out how to invite them to take a look at your product or opportunity. You can start by engaging with them, building a trust relationship and giving them value.
- Being able to present your opportunity or products in a way that is understandable and duplicatable. You can often lean on your upline to learn this. If not, seek out mentors or gurus in your niche and study how they present their opportunity and products. Your team members must be able to produce the same results using your methods.
- Follow up. You must learn to answer questions, overcome objections and keep the conversation going in order to be successful. Sometimes it takes a little while for your prospect to make up their mind about whether they want to purchase your products or join your team. A lot of this is learned by trial and error as you gain experience.
- Closing: Learning how to help someone who is trying to make the decision to join your opportunity or purchase your products to do just that. without being pushy or a salesy weirdo.
- Getting people started. Once someone has decided to join your opportunity it is up to you to guide and train them. Whether it involves company training or your own guidelines it should be easy to follow and duplicable among your team.
- Promotion. Invite prospects to company events, zoom calls, luncheons etc. The more you promote the more successful you will be at recruitment.
