The Keen Marketer

In network marketing, there are 2 income producing activities you should be doing.

1. get customers
2. recruit business partners

This is easier said then done, of course.  But here are a few tips that might take the edge off.

First of all you want to attract people to you and you do that by giving value.  Find out what that person need.

In order to do that, ask questions.  Your’e not a mind reader!  Once you know what they need then you can better identify if your product can help.  Hopefully it will do all it is supposed to do or why else are you promoting it in the first place?

Secondly, when you’re not looking for customers, you want to attract other networkers.  Why? Because you don’t have to sell them on the benefits of network marketing.

Now don’t get me wrong, there are inexperienced people who start network marketing every day and they do quite well in the long run, but they need more time and training than someone who has already tried it before, even if they might have been unsuccessful.

Short of finding other networkers, you can broaden your search to business owners, teachers, people in areas of influence that have a large circle of friends.

You can find them at the Chamber of Commerce meetings, BMI’s, at the Y, the list is basically endless and  don’t forget going online.

Find out what makes them tick and what you have to do to change or improve in yourself in order to attract more of them in your life.  If you need to get a haircut, update your wardrobe, etc, then do it.  How you look physically can be a turn on or turn off.

You can even think of writing an e-book and give out for free.

Make sure that you enumerate the many positive aspects of network marketing.  Some opportunities, like the one I am involved in, has no overhead, no stock, no boss, no geographic constraints, no specialized education and best of all no limit on income.

When recruiting networkers, lead with the business.  They know there is always a product attached, but they also know that the compensation plans can vary greatly as can training.

This post is by no means complete as to how to find either customers or prospect other networkers, but just remember that attraction is a most compelling tool that will bring you some of both.
