7 Steps to Network Marketing Success - Master These Skills and You'll Be Set For Life

Very few of us were fortunate enough to be born Network Marketers. If you were born to the first leaders in Amway, Shaklee or Melaleuca then good for you! You may actually have been trained to be successful in this industry. The rest of us were born to regular folks and have a whole lot of false programming to get over before we can be successful! In fact, it is the act of personal development, on so many levels, that will enable you to be successful in this industry. You'll have to follow the 7 Steps to Network Marketing Success.

The MLM industry and personal development are inextricably linked. It is said that Network Marketing is the industry that allows average people to attain wealth. Well, we "average folk" have to grow and expand our knowledge base in order to achieve true wealth. In other words, you gotta fix what is between your ears before you can expect your bank account to grow.

Sounds kinda like bad news, right? You may be saying, "I have to learn something, educate myself, and even change my stinkin' thinking before I can earn money here? That is going to take time that I don't have!" Well, there is good news, in fact more than just a little.

The first is that once you have acquired the knowledge that enables you to attain wealth NO ONE can take that away from you. You will always have the ability to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again.

Second, it is said to acquire true wealth you must change your mind, but to earn some cash now, you simply must become TEACHABLE. You just need to follow the basic system in place and not deviate from it. You can make a whole lot of money that way - I promise you that! But to reach the top of the top 2% is going to take some work - work that is never truly done.

So what is the simple system? It's the same in every Network Marketing company:

1. Initial Contact (exposure)

2. Simple Presentation

3. Close (make the sale)

4. Followup with newly sponsored person.

5. Mobilize newly sponsored and help them to get paid.

6. Duplicate

7. Leadership Development

Learn to do steps 1-3 and you'll make some money. It's the upfront sales money your company will pay you. You can earn that tonight. Just do it. Don't second guess the system, the presentation or anything else. If others in your company are making money, it's obviously working - so just do it. No idea how to get this done? Lack of training from your up-line? No problem, get your training from industry expert Dani Johnson. This woman went from homeless to millionaire in 2 years. I think she has something to teach us! She has proven scripts that will give you the words to make the initial contact with anyone and invite them to your presentation. She also has the closing scripts, so you have no problem asking for the money - you'll actually get paid.

Is what you are doing now resulting in fat checks? If the answer is no, then get your ego out of the way and accept training from a fully qualified teacher.

"But I don't like that script..." - oh really? And what you are doing is working so well? "But I tried that, and it didn't work..." - oh really? Did you know that what you lack in skill you will make up in numbers, and ultimately by working the numbers you will increase your skill? Not willing to increase your skill? Then Network Marketing is not for you. Sorry, you must grow what's between your ears to earn here. Get over your excuses and get in the game.

Network Marketing promises the residual income dream, and that kicks in when you engage in steps 4-6. This is when your team follows the same simple system you are using, and you begin to earn money from their efforts. This is leverage folks, and it is the backbone of MLM, and how people are able to earn truly life-changing income.

However, it is step 7 that will make you truly rich. When you begin to engage in the personal development that enables you to become a leader, things rise to a whole new level. Get your folks to do the same and you will achieve what alludes so many.

So what is leadership development and how do you get it? You'll pay any price, do anything, you say? Truly, will you? There is a reason they call the successful in this world the 2%ers. It can sometimes be a trial by fire, a road that is not exactly easy to travel to become a leader. You will have to step out of your comfort zone on a daily basis and do what others are unwilling to do. You must lead by example and continue to train with the experts and apply. Make sure your team has access to the same expert training you have... Don't try to be everything to everyone. "Outsource" the training of your team or you'll find yourself without the time freedom you desire.

The fantastic thing about all of these personal gains in skill and leadership development is that they can never be taken away from you. Once you have made strides in your business and have learned how to create a life by design, you can do it as often as you choose. You are no longer dependent upon any one company for your income, and certainly not a JOB. If your company goes out of business you can take your skill set and leadership to another company and build up your team again, using the same simple system. Only now, you'll know to work all 7 steps from the very beginning. You are a 2%er!
