We are all aware of the hideous 95% failure rate in the Network Marketing Industry. However, anybody who applies these three principles can have Network Marketing Success.
Key #1 - Understand The Difference Between Customers and Business Partners - We are traditionally taught to make a list of our friends and family members as a foundation to finding a handful of business partners.
Then we are taught to "tap root", or "drive our legs deep", until we find serious business partners. Some leaders will even tell you that you will need to drive a leg 4 - 6 levels deep before you can expect to find a serious business partner.
When I sponsored my older sister in one Network Marketing company a few years ago, I followed this strategy and my sister's team grew. She hit the first corporate position in the company.
My sister joined the business because she got results from the product. I did everything to help her hit the first position. After she started making money she started to show an interest in the business.
She was doing her own meetings and holding trainings with her team. I got excited because I thought my sister had finally turned into a business partner.
The momentum eventually died but several of the people on my sister's team remained active, because they were customers...not business partners.
When you find serious business partners, you will work synergistically together to achieve Network Marketing Success. When you try to turn a customer into a business partner you will end up doing all of the work.
Key #2 - Learn To Understand and Get Along With All Types of People - There are four main personality categories that people fall into. If that is the case, then you will only have success communicating with 25% of the people that you come in contact with.
This includes your prospects, the people on your team, your upline, etc...
If you have a hard time getting along with people, then you will have an even lower success rate.
Realize that you can't change other people. You can only change yourself. This requires making a decision to take responsibility for everything that happens to you in your life, and making a commitment to continued personal growth.
Key #3 - Learn How To Market On The Internet - Most people who try to make money online struggle because they never learn how to market. The same is true for people who try to make money in Network Marketing. The reason is because they are so focused on trying to make money that they fail to develop their marketing skills.
The Internet is the wave of the present and the future. Learning how to market online versus doing business the old way is comparable to choosing to take a flight versus riding a horse and buggy to get to your destination.
If you apply these three principles in your business, Network Marketing Success will be achievable.
