Network Marketing Do's And Don'ts For The Novice

By David Wasserman


We all want to achieve a healthy level of success in life and some of us are willing to risk our time and money in business ideas, like network marketing in order to make it happen. Some say that marketing is an easy thing to do, while others swear that it's difficult. Read this article and decide for yourself if network marketing is for you.

Fundamentally, network marketing is an extension of traditional networking with people in that it seeks to join people based on spoken word advertising. Network marketing is both time and cost effective in that network marketers can select products and/or services and immediately share and broadcast them with friends, family, clients, and customers.

Set up a way to record your prospecting calls. Having these conversations to listen to at a later time will go a long way towards improving your close rate. You will be able to review yourself and see where things went right and where they went wrong. You will also have it to use for trainings and blog articles.

Keep the information you present to bite sized levels. Dumping a ton of information onto a prospect all at once is a huge turn off. People will think that there is too much involved for them to be able to succeed. You always have to keep people knowing that they too can achieve what you have. If you make it seem too difficult, you've taken that belief away.

My Father is an entrepreneur and he's taught me a lot over time. One thing I learned just by eating dinner with him is that he claims everything. As long as you discuss your network marketing business at dinner, you can claim not only the bill but your gas costs to and from the restaurant!

Put your network marketing material EVERYWHERE! At your local church, in their newsletter, in a community newsletter, on forums, on Craigslist, even at the local supermarket on their community corkboard. The more eyes that see your promotional information, the more sign-ups you're likely to get. Make sure you're only posting it in places that are likely to get the right kind of people reading it, though. For example, a school probably isn't the best place to post an ad.

Increase your network marketing success by taking the time to learn one new technique every day to improve your leadership skills. Skim a book of inspirational thoughts. Discover what well-known experts are saying. Enroll in a community college or adult-learning leadership course. Read the biographies of famous world leaders and business gurus. Incorporate their strategies into your business plan, and take charge of your accomplishments!

When marketing your business, use an email address that looks professional. Part of being a good network marketer is your reputation, and great_scott@gmail.com - will get you noticed - but not in a good way. Buy your own domain name for your website and set-up a mail server. Afterwards, use your first and last name as the start of your email address, like SJones@MarketWhiz.com or ScottJones@SalesPro.com.

Multi-task your way up the learning curve. Network marketing involves a lot of information and a lot of learning. Try to learn while you are relaxed so that the information registers. Time is valuable, so look for ways to learn while you have downtime. Carry a good network marketing book with you and read it while you stand in lines or sit in waiting rooms. Get the best network marketing audio books, and listen to them while you drive or do house chores.

If you decide to promote your business though blogs, you can go the extra mile and have your own blog domain, rather than using an existing service. This will entice search engine robots to fall in love with your site. Network marketing will soon be a breeze when you use blogging to its full potential.

You might have the right ideas about marketing and even the right drive to potentially succeed as a multi-level marketer, but your success is actually contingent on your knowledge of the business in general. That's why it's always important that you work hard to learn about different ways to market. Apply what you've learned in the above article.
