Network Marketers are a Different Breed
by: Adam Frederick
Network Marketers are a different breed. We look at business in a manner that confuses most. The status quo in America has been go to school, get a good job, buy a house, retire, and then sell your home and move somewhere warm. This is the 50 year plan. Most of us in network marketing (NM) are on the 5 yr plan. Work your business for 5 years and be financially free. It’s a different mindset. We make telemarketing calls, we go to meeting, and we attend seminars and teleconferences. We work for ourselves by working as a group. We share ideas, tips and marketing strategies.
How can we make this system work for us? I have nothing against the traditional system. Many people have done extremely well with it. Look at the multitude of million dollar earners in corporate America. My problem is with the “Glass Ceiling” that truly exists. Without the right connections, the right education, right race, right sex, or even the right look you are out of the loop. Many good people need another system that will work for them. I could go on for days with ten’s of thousands of testimonies of lives dramatically changed by NM. It’s an open system to everyone.
A question that comes up all the time is how do I pick the right NM business? This is the million dollar question. Well I have a simple test I use. Now your question might be what makes you such an expert at this? Well let’s say this. I can only share my experience. For the last 20 years I have made and lost money in NM. Mostly lost im sad to say but after learning a few simple truths in the last 2 years I have seen my fortunes turn around.
THE SIMPLE FORMULA
- Question 1
Does the program have a good product?
Without a good product you don’t have a business, period! Is it something people want? If it’s not marketable then walk away.
- Question 2
Is the product at a good and reasonable price?
If only a small % of the market can afford it then you might have problems selling it.
- Question 3
What is the commission structure?
Some programs don’t have enough of a price margin to make good money for its members. Remember your time is your most valuable commodity so never sell your time short.
- Question 4
Is the system duplicable?
Can anyone regardless of education + experience run this business? If you must have a special set of skills that most people don’t possess to run this business then it’s not duplicable.
If you can’t answer yes in an affirmative manner to all four of these key questions then don’t look at this business as were you should put your major focus in. If your focus was to be financially free and it doesn’t answer all four questions then look elsewhere. Now many of the businesses I have tried didn’t answer all four questions and guess what, I didn’t have the success I envisioned. It’s a very simple truth. But lo and behold if it does answer all four then do what you have to do to get involved as you have a winner.
Now many of you are in programs that aren’t giving you the success you want. What should you do? Id say find one that does. It’s that simple. If you would like to pick my brain on programs im using then be sure to contact me for a free 15 minute consultation. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you.
