Your Network Marketing Success – How Adaptable and Open to Change Are You?
Over the past 20 years or so there’s been a lot of network marketing success for a select group of people who either through luck, sheer determination, a large network of contacts or plain business savvy have made it in this style of business networking.
However, due to some very unsavoury tactics utilized by large network marketing groups and the individuals within them, your internet marketing success is somewhat limited these days. Unless of course you change the way you go about how you do things, i.e. “work smarter, instead of push harder!”
Being in sales myself for the past 15 years, and a sales coach for the past 5 for a program call Unlock The Game, I’ve coached people to network marketing success in all countries around the world, and been involved with a number of them in the past. And the one thing that I’ve observed over the past 10 years is the massive change that has occurred in the way these companies are run.
For example, one of the first companies I was in, was at first sight, a very polished and “low-pressure” company, to the extent of spending quite a number of several hour sessions with me “just so I could be bedded in” to their way of working. But as things progressed and after the initiation phase, joining up and starting with them, the pressure began.
Other companies are high pressure right from the start, while others try to have no human contact at all, because they work purely online via online presentations. So as you can see, we as a population of normal everyday people, wishing to make an extra buck on top of our jobs, have been bombarded with many different angles to try and lower our defences.
So with a firm background in both experiencing and coaching network marketers, and having a very solid internet marketing consulting background I’ve realized there are a number of things that need to change for your network marketing success.
Learn how to take “The Pressure” out of the process all together!
What do I mean by this?… Well it appears that no matter how low pressure some of these companies come across, there is still the underlying current of pressure. Maybe not to join immediately, but rather “If you’re comfortable, would you like to explore your options further?”
Now, from my experience and if I was coaching you personally I would say that the statement “If you’re comfortable, would you like to explore your options further?” while it’s not a full on “in your face” question, it’s still wreaking of pressure, and how do we respond to pressure by and large? By avoiding the subject all together, so we divert the topic or make up some excuse so we “don’t” have to get involved.
You see, if there is even a small inkling of pressure or some form of hidden agenda in a sales process, then you’re going to “silently repel” your prospects, more than you might be aware of, believe me I’ve seen this happen and when I point this out to my coaching clients over the phone they are stunned.
The responses that I’ve had from people chasing network marketing success tell me all the time “I thought my approach was low pressure!”… NOOOOO, far from it. You see, it’s not so much just the words we say, it’s the way we say them that can put someone on guard secretly also.
If you would like to learn more on how to go about this properly and to begin have “real” and “honest” open conversations with your prospects, then have a look at the Unlock The Game program at http://www.Unlock-The-Sales-Game.com and be sure to get the free tips that the sales guru’s don’t know I’ve heard from clients that I’ve coached in that program that just those tips alone have turned their business around without even spending a zac on training, which makes me feel very good indeed.
Now, interacting, prospecting and following up leads in your network marketing business (or any other business) isn’t the only activity you need to master. You need to learn the skill of how to get “highly qualified” leads coming to you in the first place, these leads need to be completely open and trusting of you “before” you speak with them… How is this possible you might ask?… Simple, build their trust in advance online first!
HOW?
By reviewing and describing in your own words and detail, your experience with network marketing or your company online first. This way there is “no threat,” those who want to contact you will, and those who don’t wont.
You might even offer some form of free course on the knowledge that you’ve accrued over time about network marketing and your company. But… BUT… I have to warn you, no hype or even any sprinkling of getting them to join, otherwise you’re going to lose them!
The reason why the majority of these online network marketing success presentations fail is they ooze “join now” throughout them. This pressure of “watch the video, then I’ll be in touch with you to see what you thought of it” is pressure, pressure and you guessed it pressure… Please avoid this or programs like it, like the plague.
If you are in a program that does have such a plan, at least talk to them calmly first and say to them, “I don’t expect you to move forward in any way with what you’re going to see, I’m not about pressuring that’s exactly the opposite of who I am… If you like what you see and want it for yourself, we can have a chat, but I won’t be hounding you… Are you ok with that?”
I guarantee you, if you talk to your leads from online like this, they are going to be very warm and open to you, but please, don’t take advantage of their state of openness once you do get them to this point, otherwise it will backfire on you.
If you’re wondering how is the best way to get leads online, I have to say that a company call Site Build It (SBI) is in my opinion the most stable way to do any sort of marketing online. Please check it out and see for yourself from their wealth of knowledge and their growing number of network marketing success stories from users who have harnessed it’s full potential.
I’ve also come across a few “very surprising” programs (as a sales trainer in the past, I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly), and these few I’m about to mention are superior to anything I’ve seen if you are in the network marketing industry and would like to develop a network marketing success program for yourself.
They openly endorse the SBI (Site Build It) system for building and growing your lead base, and their methods can be adapted to any business. I believe between SBI and the low cost systems below you can create a very effective marketing blue print and effectively magnify your network marketing success.
