When I got started in network marketing, I was told the same thing over and over again from my up-line…
“Get 3 who get 3 who get 3…” blah blah blah
Sounds easy, right?
Wrong…
In spite of being shy and introverted , I listened to my up-line because I wanted to make this work soooo bad…
I burned through all my family and friends (who ended up either calling my business a “pyramid scheme” or stopped returning my calls and avoided me like the plague).
I even cold called realtors, bought phone lists of “hungry network marketing leads” whose numbers ended up being disconnected or wrong numbers…
I even got hostile people answer (and told off a couple of times đ
All of this rejection really took a toll on my self-esteem and reinforced my introverted personality!
Then when I went back to my up-line, I was told to hunt for prospects at networking events, and even to hold my own home meetings in hopes of signing up reps.
NOTHING worked… 3 never got 3 who got 3.
The worst of it was that I hated it… every step of the way…
Even though I was stretching myself… even though I was getting out of my comfort level… I still wasn’t getting ANY results…
All the while I kept hearing from my very successful, very wealthy up-line “just find your 3 people, who get 3 people…” as if he was a broken record.
IT WAS THROUGH MY PERSISTENCE THAT I FINALLY FOUND THE ANSWER!
IâM PROOF THAT YOU CAN BE BOTH SHY AND SUCCESSFUL!
My frustration with the lack of answers from my up-line, is what led me to eventually go online and find a network marketing mentor, Ferny, who used the Internet to build large teams, using a set of strategies, which is called âattraction marketing.â
Which I am going to teach you in a minute… (but if you’re action-oriented, then click the link here.)
But along with giving me strategies, attraction marketing solved the #1 problem in my network marketing businessâa lack of fresh and new prospects for my business in my inbox everyday without me chasing anyone.
And I was able to find them, in a predictable way, without bugging friends and family OR cold prospecting strangers on the streets, in malls or at the local grocery store.
But more importantly, from my mentor, I learned that success in network marketing (or any business) isnât about luck, or chance.
Itâs about doing the right things in the right sequence, to achieve a specific result.
Itâs strategic, skill based and can be done in a predictable way, which brings us to…
5 PROVEN STRATEGIC STEPS YOU CAN USE TO GUARANTEE YOUR SUCCESSâŚ
Literally, these 5 things, when done in the right order, can create the type of âpush buttonâ money â which offers you the ability to recruit network marketers with a few strokes of the keyboard on your computer.
Now, I know that sounds a bit âhypey,â or “TOO good to be true” (and I thought so at first, too), but let’s dive deeperâŚ
Just like any other profession, in network marketing you need to learn specific skills and you need to treat what you are learning with the exact same seriousness that a doctor or lawyer treats the skills of their trade.
Hereâs what you need firstâŚ
STEP 1: FIND OR DEVELOP A STRATEGY
A strategy is essentially a series of specific steps that enable you to achieve a specific goal.
Now the key word here is specific.
You can draw the steps on a piece of paper or a whiteboard and map out how youâre going to achieve your goal.
Warning: if youâre not being taught any semblance of a short or long-term strategy by your up-line or company, you need to build your business somewhere else or with someone else!
Iâm serious! It’s your time and resources.
You have 2 choices:
1. Develop the strategy yourself, which is going to take a lot of money, time, trial and error
2. You can find people who have already figured out exactly how to be successful in network marketing and model their strategy.
I recommend following a proven process from an already-successful networker whoâs making money and doing it in a way that resonates with you. For me, the best strategy included using online recruiting methods, which fit my introverted personality perfectly, not to mention being a busy mom and having a family life.
In summary: Step #1 is to find a mentor or company that gives you a strategy for recruiting your first person, making your first sale, and eventually reaching your long-term goals â especially if you want to recruit network marketers into your business.
If somebody hasnât provided that for you in whatever team or organization youâre in, then you either need to find a mentor that is willing to teach you a clear strategy or you can do what I did and give online recruiting a try by clicking here to learn more.
STEP 2: THE STRATEGY MUST BE SIMPLE & REPEATABLE
This step is the key to duplication in network marketingâŚ
You want to teach your strategy to your down-line so they can go out, succeed, and you can profit in the process and the process should be simple, but not necessarily easy.
Now, recall that the business owner I mentioned before told us, âfind 3 who find 3 who find 3.â I thought it sounded simplistic, moronic, and inauthentic.
After all, I was âlookingâ to sign up for this business and he was fed leads from the company and never had to find his 3 who found 3…
Looking back, I know why.
Issue 1: He made the process of building the business sound easy, because he didnât want to scare us away by telling us the truth. (i.e. that we had to learn some tangible connecting skills and be in the right place at the right time.)
Issue 2: He was not doing what he preached.
He approached his business in one way (being positioned at the top from the beginning), while telling us to do something entirely different.
This meant we couldnât duplicate, even if we wanted to, because catering to weakness doesnât duplicate.
As a leader in my company, every single process and tactic that I use, I teach to my students and my down-line in my organization.
I give my team the exact same tools I use, and Iâm constantly testing, refining, and improving my methods.
And if anything changes, I let them know.
Thatâs my responsibility as a leader.
Besides, developing strategies isnât the teamâs responsibility; itâs the leaderâs.
Iâm not saying that a strategy or tactic has to be a âhome runâ the first time itâs used by a new rep.
It just has to deliver results that can be assessed and be improved on over time.
It is very likely that your first time implementing a strategy wonât go well and you have to be ok with that, as long as you are committed to improving and learning.
A leader should teach with the assumption that you are willing to actually do the work, learn skills and are strong enough to persevere, the same way they do.
With this video training course, it will solve the #1 problem in network marketing, which is finding new, qualified prospects to talk to about your network marketing business.
But you still need to have effective conversations to enroll these prospects into your business.
In summary: The business building strategy must be repeatable & measurable so that anyone may perform them, see results and improve over time.
Act. Get Result. Adjust. RepeatâŚ
STEP 3: GAIN THE EXPERIENCE
When you treat the strategy youâre learning as seriously as you would the skills youâd learn in any other profession, you gain experience.
And with that experience comes an understanding of things that you just canât learn in a course or in an audio book or training.
Hereâs the truth of the matter: if youâre thinking, âI need to make money RIGHT NOW,â I can tell youâre setting yourself up for failure.
I donât mean to be blunt, but âget-rick-quick schemesâ are just that: schemes.
They donât create sustainable, predictable success because the success is not based on the development of skills.
Unless you treat network marketing as a profession, you wonât succeed.
Youâll also tick off some of your leaders, because they have worked VERY hard to develop and learn the strategies that they used to get where they are… and there are no shortcuts to success.
Anyone who tells you there are is lying to you most likely to get your money.
It may seem like it’s super simple, because we are good at what we do & make it look easy, but it does require practice and time, so eventually it does become easy. (More on this in step #5.)
(Even then, if it takes you 3-6 months even a year to be effective, thatâs better than wasting 40+ years at a job you hate or 10+ years figuring out all the same skills yourself!)
So if youâre serious about your network marketing business and you want to be a leader yourself, you have to get committed, gain experience, an appreciation for the experience and develop DEPTH of understanding, which is impossible to attain in any other way.
This is important, because it will help you develop strategies that fit your individual goals and personality.
It’s true, everyone building offline or online has the same basic foundation.
However, we all have different approaches, styles, and tactics, because we are all unique individuals with different stories and we all come to occupy a slightly different space in this business.
As you implement a strategy, you will customize it to bring out your strengths & bolster your weaknesses and make it your own.
In summary: you gain experience through repetition and you get depth of understanding, and eventually you start modifying tactics and processes so that your strategies fit you, your team, your company, your product, etc.
STEP 4: PAYING IT FORWARD
Once you have a strategy, a depth of understanding, and the experience from following steps 1-3, youâll likely have achieved success in your business and now youâre in a position to teach what you know through video, Facebook Live, blogging, e-mails, and so on.
By creating a community and communicating with people every single day youâll âpay it forward,â and not just for your down-line, but to the industry at large.
This will do 2 things for youâŚ
1. People will notice that youâre a person that is giving value and other people are benefiting, and your following will grow. This is how our community grew, by the way.
2. As you build your fan base, you will create your own personal brand and become a leader, which will transcend any company or product. This, by the way, is key to the final step: âpush buttonâ income.
In summary: Once you âpay it forwardâ and develop a following by putting out value that helps others, you will have a following of people that know, like and trust you and who will want to learn more and more from you.
This is ultimately how you create a loyal community of people who love you, who know you will lead them in the right direction, and who will eventually buy what you have.
STEP 5: BECOME A FORCE THAT NO ONE CAN STOP
This is where you get the ability to sell and recruit network marketers… with less effort.
Would you be excited to start recruiting a lot of people one-on-one or selling a product to a lot of people, with the push of a button?
Sounds like something you can get use to right?
That push of a button can be clicking âsendâ on an email, clicking âstartâ on a webinar, clicking âpublishâ on a blog post, a combination of all of them, or whatever medium you choose.
Heck, you can even âvoiceâ your call to action on Facebook Live and people will go buy your new course or fill out the form to sign up for your opportunity.
Why?
They trust you… and your community gives you credibility.
You paid it forward and have skills you developed that others would like to learn.
A lot of networker’s miss #4 and #5.
They miss the part about building a community beyond their network marketing organization.
And if anything goes wrong with their company or their team, theyâre stuck and their income can vanish overnight.
They donât have a âBack up Plan.â
You definitely want to be in a position where youâre not dependent on anyone or any company but yourself and your own brand, regardless of how awesome your network marketing company is.
Thatâs why step #4, building a community, is so important.
It allows you to do step #5 which is becoming a force that no one can stop and youâre able to recruit network marketers en mass, at will.
How does that sound?
