Do You Have Your Hater Blockers On With Your Network

Author: Do You Have Your Hater Blockers On With Your Network Marketing Business?
We get into this business for two reasons:
1. More money
2. Better lifestyle
Some things just aren’t cutting it for us so we make a conscious decision to take a step towards our financial freedom and break the chains off that are holding us back.
Or do we break those chains off?
First let’s define what a pyramid scheme is. A pyramid scheme is where you only make money off of a new distributor/sponsor coming into the business. There is NO product or service.
People mostly those who are stuck in the mediocre grind associate those words with network marketing businesses. You can thank many companies out there that brought this out into the mainstream.
The FTC takes pyramid schemes seriously so if you would be to end up in a company like that it will most likely be shut down before you know it.
Many times you hear from fellow friends negative things such as “That’s a pyramid scheme.” They really know no better and my philosophy is if you don’t do your research and actually “know” what you’re talking about SHUT IT!
This article is about letting too many people influence our decisions. When you get into network marketing you are going to get some negative responses from friends especially family.
You let them know what you got involved with and it’s bound to happen they will say something you don’t like.
No matter what anyone says to you if you’ve done your duediligence did the research and spoke with those that “know” what they’re talking about anyone who is working a J.O.B and slaving away to make someone else rich shouldn’t bother your business building process!
We usually don’t take the time to look at their situation. We take it as they are someone we know and they must have good advice.
Some are genuinely worried about you but 9 times out of 10 it’s negative belief systems that they have instilled in them which were most likely received from someone else who was the same way!
Never give up and allow a “work for salary then wonder why I don’t have enough money amp; freedom” person to persuade you and influence your decision.
Lay it out on the line with them if they take it too far. It’s better to make it clear than to have this negativity go on and on affecting you with getting your business working successfully.
If you ask advice from someone who works a job or they know what you are pursuing chances are you will receive a negative response.
The truth is they never put in the time to figure out more and accepted that working is what’s best for them even though there is huge potential inside each one of us.
You tapped into that potential and are taking action.
What do they have to speak for?
Nothing and that’s my point. No use in letting someone get to you if they have nothing to show for it.

Do I Really Stink That Bad At Network Marketing?
Do I Really Stink That Bad At Network Marketing?
After being in the network marketing industry for some time I had to ask myself the question that had been nagging my brain. The question was: Do I really stink that bad at network marketing? Why didn’t I have a huge downline and a huge team beneath me? Why wasn’t I driving that luxury car from the company? The people at the top all had those nice cars and they were all doing what I was doing werent they? I always thought of myself as a relatively intelligent person. And I always did what my upline told me to do. I was after all very coachable. I called everyone I knew to book home parties a couple of which actually did. I talked to strangers and asked them to try a sample of my products which as most of us know are not very cheap. A couple of them actually tried the products but most of them just threw the sample away. When I started this business I jumped in with both feet and gave it my all. What gives? Why hadn’t I reached the top yet?
I was about ready to throw in the towel in this industry until I stumbled upon some interesting information. I was not aware that 97 of network marketers fail and that bothering my warm market and doing hotel meetings and meeting people for coffee and lunches to present my opportunity was not what I should be doing. I also learned that I had been trying to sell instead of market. There is a huge difference in the two. I was told by my upline that my products can benefit every single person. Therefore I was just trying to sell my products as well as the business opportunity to everyone. I was trying to convince everyone why they needed what I had. What I later learned is that I needed to be marketing my products to people who actually had a want a need or a desire for them.
The first step was actually learning who my prospective client really was. Did I really even know? That took some time to figure out but once I knew then I knew I could market to the right audience. What a relief to find out it wasnt me that stunk at network marketing but my methods of marketing. I now have the tools and techniques to be the great marketer that I set out to be in the first place.

Does Your Business Card Say Wow?
Does Your Business Card Say Wow?
WOW What A First Impression
When you hand out your business card do people take a step back and say “Wow”? Do you have people clamouring for your card because of its value? If not then read on.
Your business card is your most powerful marketing tool and yet in most businesses it is sadly overlooked. In most instances your potential customers need four important pieces of information which should jump out from your card: your name your phone number your email address and what you can do for them. Everything else such as fax number mobile number address business name logo email and web page address are important but secondary to the main message and should be treated accordingly. They can be used to enhance the three main points.
The phone number on the average business card is so tiny and often jumbled up with other numbers. How often have you rung a fax number by mistake? You need to remember that a large percentage of the population either wear or should wear glasses and those that do often can’t find them when they need them! Make it easy for people to read your phone number.
The next thing to consider is making your card so attractive that people are compelled to read it. Careful use of colours your photograph logos paper texture and the readability of the lettering style all add to the initial impact of your card and thus your business!
Next remember there is a reverse side to the card. There are two schools of thought in this regard. Some believe it should be left blank to write notes on. However you should realise other people will also write notes on the back of your card and then toss it away when the note is actioned.
I believe the reverse side of the card is a potential gold mine. It can be printed with information that makes your card so valuable people want to keep it. In fact they will be eagerly asking for your card for themselves and their friends because of the value of that information. The back of my own card has 10 tips which guarantee business success; the result my card is constantly in demand.
Next you must be sure to have them with you at all times. Have you ever missed an opportunity because you did not carry your business card? A few weeks ago at a network meeting I asked somebody for their card and believe it or not they didn’t have one with them. They promised to send one as soon as they returned to their office: I’m still waiting!
Finally use a promotional outlook ask everyone for their business card. Then ask these three questions. “How can I help this person? How can this person help me? Can I network this person with someone else?” The answers will provide wonderful opportunities!
Remember that it doesn’t cost any more to plan your business card carefully but the results can be astounding. Next time you are printing your business card spend that extra thought and really make your business card work for you Wow!
