T
here’s no doubt you’re
prone to make a few mis-
takes as most first-time
marketers do, but the amazing
thing about it all is you have the
power to learn from the mistakes
of others so that history doesn’t
repeat itself. In network market-
ing, plan B is a must for when
things don’t go as planned.
Below are some of the most common
mistakes first-time network marketers
make.
- LACKOFDEVOTION.
Many first-time network marketers
come into the field with a traditional busi-
ness market state of mind and a 9-5 men-
tality. In order to fully succeed in network
marketing, it’s all about the commitment,
devotion, organization and undivided
attention you will need to provide for your
business to grow exponentially.
Although the upfront investment to
purchase the product or sample kit is
extremely lower than the traditional busi-
ness, but you will need to put your business
and marketing skills into play and pronto!
If you commit yourself to attend as
many conference calls, events, seminars
and product demos to name a few, then
you are on the right track to success!
- LACKOF
ORGANIZATIONALSKILLS.
It is crucial that you make the time to
be organized.
When it comes to organization, we are
all born with our unique DNA, and per-
haps some of us inherit organization
genes. Regardless of our genetic inheri-
tance, we all have the ability to acquire
some level of organizational skills. It is not
necessary to go to extremes to keep your-
self organized, but being well prepared
and then diligently following through will
help make each task easier and more effi-
cient, which will result in better time man-
agement.
Remember time is money!
Like success, being organized comes
over time. Your desired result must be
crystal clear before you can prepare for it. - CHOOSING THEWRONG
COMPANY.
Always make sure to be well informed
with a thorough due diligence process.
To do so, start by researching the com-
pany profile to make sure the company is
financially stable. If possible, set up a
meeting with the management team to
determine their integrity, management
style and track record.
Don’t disregard the compensation plan.
Walk away from fast-money making pro-
grams, better yet, run, run fast from these
type of programs. Nine out of ten times,
these type of network marketing schemes
will make a huge hole in your pocket.
Now let’s talk about the products...
now is the perfect time to put that old say-
ing into action: “preach what you teach!
“You should always feel comfortable
using the product you are selling to
friends, family and acquaintances, and the
product being offered should have real
world value and not be over-priced.
- A LACKLUSTRE PROSPECT
LIST.
Building positive relationships is key
to your success in this field. Not having a
full prospect list is a huge failure due to the
fact that your new network marketing busi-
ness is all about prospect sponsoring.
Believe me, soon enough the prospect
list will be endless once you start reaching
out to friends and family because they have
friends, family and acquaintances as well.
Still in need of prospects? Join the
gym, hit up your local coffee shop or casu-
ally crash your next-door neighbour’s
birthday party. If all this fails, think of join-
ing the next excursion to no-man’s land
and adding one to its next census count.
- FAILING TOBE
PERSISTENT.
Persistence is having a vision of where
you are and where you want to go and hav-
ing the willpower to fulfil your dreams.
When it comes to defining your vision and
the life you dream of, you have two choices:
- Accept your circumstances as they
are. - Take ownership of your vision, and
empower yourself with the willpower
to draw a line in the sand and move
forward.
If you empower yourself with the sec-
ond choice, the synergy of vision and
willpower will equal the persistence
required to meet your goals. Learn to
embrace hardships and failures, and get up
when getting knocked down without blam-
ing others or making excuses.
