This is a beginners Guide to Network Marketing. If you are new to to Network Marketing I then you probably have a lot of questions. I know that I did. I am a retired Nurse Practitioner who practiced at a Veterans Affairs facility. About as far away from a work from home business owner that I could get. Entrepreneurship can be tough, and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But you can have a successful network marketing business as long as you are coachable, able to follow instructions, and really want it. Today I would like to share what network marketing success is all about and hopefully provide a guide and some insight into how to make your business the best that it can be.
It’s all up to you. You are in control of your mindset, no one else can change it for you. Not the company you are set up with, not your upline, not your spouse or kids. Unless you change your mindset you will not be able to create unlimited income. You have to make the decision to invest in yourself and take advantage of coaching, training and overall support. To be successful you will need to let go of “Employee Thinking” and begin to think like an entrepreneur.
What Does it Take For Success
Your Guide to Mindset:
This requires a different mindset, realizing that work is contribution and achievement, not trudgery. You need to be willing to invest your time and money into something that may not earn you a paycheck right away, realizing that’s what it takes to be successful. If you want to achieve amazing results, it helps to have an obsession about making your business work, providing value and contributing to the betterment of the world. Honest effort and confidence on your part also figure into success. You need to BELIEVE that you will succeed. I know that my business did not start to take off until I developed some confidence in myself. It is difficult to motivate others when you don’t believe in yourself.
Guide to Skills:
The right skill set will take you a long way in your business. One of these skills if finding prospects. There are many strategies available to do this, from company provided leads to prospecting on digital platforms and the intent of this article is not to get into how that is done. You can easily research the topic on you tube or google for some great information. Another skill is being able to invite those prospects to look at your opportunity.

Answering questions, overcoming objections and keeping the conversation flowing is important. Not everyone is ready to buy your product or opportunity when they are first pitched to, be ready to have a follow up process in place so that your prospects do not fall in the cracks.
Learning how to close is another skill that beginners must master. I found it helpful to follow some of the Network Marketing gurus on you tube for closing tips. It’s one of those skills that you need to practice at before mastering. Helping someone decide to buy your product or join your opportunity without being a salesy weirdo takes practice and dedication. Learning how to help your team member get started with the least amount of anxiety and friction is also important. Here you can usually lean heavily upon your companies training and materials. Just the knowledge that you are not going to abandon them to the wolves is important to your new team member. If you can duplicate yourself, then you have it made.
