Best Advice for Newbies: Get to The No Excuses Summit III

Okay, I must admit, I really don’t like being told what to do and when you hear someone say, “Get to this event” I always think, why? Is it going to drastically change my life in some magical way.   9 times out of 10, you don’t get much out of it and it proves to be a waste of time.  Well, when I attend the No Excuses Summit II last year, I had a totally different experience. I am sooo glad that I scraped up my change (and dragged my family along) to attended the No Excuses Summit II.  It was the best thing I could have done, I have never been so inspired. Even to this day, a year later, I am so grateful that I went. When you hear the speakers on the webinars tell you it is life changing, it truly is. You see, if you plan on “really, seriously,” making this business work. You need to get plugged into the community of marketers.  You not only have to learn the best techniques and acquire the right skills and mindset. You have to build your brand and a big part of building your bra

Facebook Fishing!

Go where the fishes are   If you think about the techniques of fishermen, you will notice that they plan out their trips for the most part to determine where the fishes are.  They leave the dock with the intent to come home with fish, therefore making sure that they strategically seek locations where the fish are bountiful. In the network marketing world, your strategy should be the same.  You don’t want to aimlessly wander out into the world hoping that someone takes a bite at your bait.  Instead, you want to make sure that you plan to go where the fishes are!! And as you may know, online networks like Facebook and Twitter are great places to find people if you know how to use them properly. The majority of people on these sites don’t utilize them properly to grow a successful business online.  But, this doesn’t have to be your story. Once you get the proper training and consistently use the skills and techniques you learn, you’ll be on your way. You will find your

Develop an MLM Plan of Action and Become a Successful Network Marketer

With a little bit of effort anyone can master the art of Network Marketing. Whether you realize it or not, we all network in one form or another. It’s apart of our everyday life. Networking is a very broad concept that is used in all aspects of our life. In general, it’s about a supportive system of sharing information and services among people with common interests. It’s based on the question “How can I help you?” and not “What can you do for me?” An effective networker is very aware of this but there are many people who go about networking the wrong way simply because they have on their mind what they can gain from the other person instead of what value they can give. Though the idea of Network Marketing can be intimidating and hard to understand, it is a very effective way of growing a business and gaining access to opportunities that you wouldn’t usually have. So how can you become a successful Network Marketer you ask? Here are the guidelines that you can follow: 1

Know Your Prospect!

When you are looking to recruit someone to your team, you need to know WHO an ideal prospect is, and what to look for when searching for them? In a nutshell, a prospect is someone who could benefit from the opportunity that your company provides.   Your goal is to 1) find out if they could benefit from the opportunity and 2) let them know about the opportunity and 3) make sure they are interested. You are going to run across allot of people who may need your opportunity and could benefit from it but you also need to make sure they are interested. This may not happen initially but at some point during the first few contacts, this will be very important since it will keep you from wasting precious time and resources. Think about this very carefully.   As you go through each day and you are looking for prospects, you are looking for someone who has a problem that your company can provide a solution for. So who is someone who could benefit from what you have to offer?   Gen

So how are these incorrect notions different from the truth? To address these challenges, I wanted to answer a few common questions that many people have regarding the industry, giving you valid insight into whether it’s fact or fiction.  And share how you can address these common questions if you’re also being asked them on a regular basis. Some of the common questions that I often get from others are: Is network marketing really a scam? I just signed up with an MLM company; will I get rich in a month’s time?
