What is Your Most Valuable Asset in Network Marketing?

All successful network marketers possess a single common attribute that plays an important role in success—it is easy to possess, yet all too often missing.

Do you have what it takes?

INTEGRITY: Adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty; The quality of possessing and steadfastly adhering to high moral principles or professional standards.

How many times do we see those flashy “Join today….make millions” ads all over promising a quick buck with no effort and the ability to make millions virtually overnight? Just hand over your credit card number and “wallah!”

Hey, we are real people here….working on trying to get by in a harsh world. We work hard for the dollars we earn and we strive to make ends meet. All we want is more time with our kids and less time chained to our J.O.B. Don’t they realize this?

Of course they do! Those out there for a quick buck understand what buttons to push and know how to lure their prey into their internet scams. A person can be so eager to change their lives they will grasp at almost any MLM business opportunity—even against better judgment.

What’s next? We hand over our hard-earned money, and then we wait—wait for that promised cash to start rolling in. Okay, where is it? Then there’s the part where have no idea where to start and still no one to help us. We try placing a few online ads, submit our web pages to a few search engines… and still nothing.

Where is our sponsor? Why don’t they reach out and help us? Well, more than likely they’re in the same boat dealing with the same problems and frustrations of trying to build the business. We’re left with no guidance, no one to answer our questions, and we get discouraged, let down, frustrated, and then completely convinced that all network marketing businesses are frauds!

These offers and programs have fancy web sites, convincing ad copy, flashy banners, and endless claims from “gurus”. However, even in the midst of all of this, there is something desperately missing— INTEGRITY. Without it, all the flashy banners and extraordinary claims are worthless.

However, there ARE plenty of companies out there demonstrating integrity, and they have a genuine interest in helping others achieve their goals. The most successful internet network marketers are those lead by example—they invest their time in the people they recruit. They’re available to answer questions, admit they don’t have all the answers, and share their experiences; and they work by your side to help solve a problem. They have INTEGRITY!

These network marketers consist of a team of people who are loyal and dedicated to building a successful business. Wouldn’t you rather work with someone who isn’t afraid to “get in the trenches” with you and get the job done?

You have the power to raise people to levels of success and can inspire your team to be the kind of leader they have found in you.

Once you are committed to being honest and sincere, with a willingness to help others—getting rid of all traces of any “grab the cash and run” attitude, you will achieve the success you’ve been looking for! And you can enjoy success knowing it didn’t come at the expense of someone else.

Be proud of your accomplishments, reach out to help others succeed, and always strive for integrity! You’ll see your network marketing downline become your greatest resource, and this is something you cannot put a price on!

Sacrifice
Leaders in all walks of life have made it to the top in their industry because they sacrificed to get there. They had to decide what was more important.

Never Give Up
Leaders in all walks of life have made it to the top in their industry because they never gave up. You will find many leaders were simply ordinary people but through time they learned to be extraordinary leaders. They had time on their side. The only way to fail in business is to quit!

Extreme Discipline
Leaders in all walks of life have made it to the top in their industry because they were disciplined on the basics. They made more phone calls, set more appointments, had more enrollments and developed more leaders than the average. Those are the successful internet and network marketers.

Failing Your Way to Success
Leaders in all walks of life have made it to the top in their industry because they failed more than anyone else. That’s right! You will hear incredible stories of failure which led to paramount success. Almost every millionaire’s story will talk about the failures they had which led to the crazy success they have today. It’s very rare you find a millionaire who has not had stories of failure. They simply kept failing forward.

Lastly, the trait which is a part of all the 7 traits of successful internet and network marketing leaders:

ACTION!
Nothing happens until you simply just do it! No excuses, no if’s, no but’s. Put aside all the quick fix solutions that distract you from your goals and commit to taking action today.

We said 7 and here are 8. Can you think of any more traits of successful internet and network marketing leaders?

Are You the ‘Dr. House’ of Your MLM Business?

Are you the ‘my way or the high way’ network marketer who is always in control, gains instant authority and has your prospects sign up in a heart beat by the command of your voice? When you speak, they listen and ‘getting it done’ seems to be your middle name? As previously discussed in 4 personality types, you are the Dominant Type.

The Dominant Type
About 10% of the 4 personality types are dominant. If you are one yourself or are dealing with a “Dominant Type” personality, what can you do to improve your overall communication effectiveness? Here are some details about the Dominant type personality to understand first.

Positive Traits Of The Dominant Type

• Dominant
• Confident
• Direct
• Optimistic
• Determined
• Leader
• Gets things done
• Makes decisions quickly

What Types of Careers Are Fitting For Dominant Types?

• Entrepreneurs
• Business Owners
• Supervisors and Managers
• Presidents
• Lawyers
• Military Leaders
• Executives

What Do Dominant Types Like? Dominant types like action directed towards goals. They like to see activity, change, healthy discussions and getting things done. They are very goal oriented, self confident and can complete huge amounts of work in record time.

What Could Be An Issue? Taken to extremes the dominant type behavior can turn a results oriented Dr. House into a pushy or even rude Dr. House. Self confident as he is his colleagues often comment on his arrogance and conceited behavior. He always gets the job done but is sometimes extremely abrasive and ruthless in his approach.

“Why is this bad” asks the dominant type? Because it alienates others and the dominant can lose support for getting the job done.

Room for Improvement
If you are a dominant in a quest to get things done, remember that you can accomplish more with the help of others so make it a goal to improve your interactions with those you work with. Occasionally let others voice their opinions and try to be patient when things don’t go as quickly as you’d like.

Working With A Dominant Type
If you’d like to be admired by the Dominant type, ask him a few challenging questions and act outwardly impressed by his answers. Nod approvingly at his always correct comments and you will earn the respect of the Dominant type. False modesty or awe will not fool the dominant type but he might not let on he knows you are acting. So if possible keep it sincere.

Knowing how much of each of the 4 personality types make up your personality, better prepares you to understand and communicate with everyone and make progress in your network marketing business. Recognize the traits of others and learn the best ways to communicate with them. Good luck in your self-studies.

Are You the ‘Jay Leno’ of Your MLM Business?

The Network Marketing Jay Leno
Are you that network marketer who speaks loud and Boisterous with a voice which seem to engage complete strangers into your center of influence? Your prospects watch in awe, gasping for air caused by laughter which sometimes even lead to tears? You always manage to attract the crowd. As previously discussed in 4 personality types, you are the Inspiring Type.

The Inspiring Type
About 25-30% of the 4 personality types are Inspiring. If you are one yourself or are dealing with an “Inspiring Type” personality, what can you do to improve your overall communication effectiveness? Here are some details about the Inspiring type personality to understand first.

Positive Traits of the Inspiring Type

• Warm and personable
• Enthusiastic

What Do Inspiring Types Like?
Inspiring types like to make people happy. They love to play while they work. They like to interact with people so everyone has a good time. They usually have lots of friends and like to be on the go.

What Could Be An Issue?
Taken to extremes the Inspiring type behavior can turn a talkative, excited and optimistic person into an emotional and unrealistic gossip. Jay Leno is a fabulous comedian and talk show host, but he also doesn’t like being ignored, isolated or looking bad. As with most talk show hosts they like to be the center of attention, leaving the guest as a prop for their self indulgence.

Never asks the Inspiring type to do any repetitive tasks because they won’t be able to focus and will turn the job into a party and distract everyone else with them. However, they will be the first to volunteer for the job since they are very eager at the onset of the job.

Room for Improvement
Inspiring people should try to focus pay on the people they are with. Take a moment to pay attention to your surroundings and the people you are near. Your network marketing business will get going if you give your prospect a chance to talk. Just remember, it’s really all about them.

Working With An Inspiring Type
It is always best to let people do what they do best. Have an Inspiring type invite some friends to your meeting to show them your business or product. The Inspiring type will make everyone feel comfortable and upbeat. What a great atmosphere for your presentation.

Knowing your leading personality type better prepares you to understand and communicate with everyone and make progress in your network marketing business. Recognize the traits of others and learn the best ways to communicate with them. Good luck in your self studies.

This is the second installment in a series of posts called 4 Personality Types.

Network Marketing and The Secret of Bob Proctor

In a recent interview with Bob Proctor, coach of the Law of Attraction, Network Marketing Expert and star of The Secret, he spoke about Network Marketing and moral compensation.

Initially, Bob never really understood the concept of network marketing. He ignored it until a doctor that he respected became interested in network marketing and discussed it with him.

He soon realized that the secret of moral compensation in network marketing was balance and fairness in business. Everything, such as the company, its products and services, and compensation, has equality as the network marketer works and earns.

There is harmony with the law of attraction in network marketing because people earn what they deserve.

The law of cause and effect is about what you earn and depends on the effort you put into your work. It means you will receive appropriate recognition and compensation for your efforts.

Bob says people work because of two basic necessities in life:

• They need to feel a certain satisfaction at the end of the day from their job.

• They need to earn enough money in order to give themselves the lifestyle they desire for their materialistic needs.

Bob Proctor claims you can satisfy both these needs in network marketing.

Since there is a gap between the jobs at the bottom and top of the workforce ladder, people at the bottom level often become frustrated. People in network marketing tend to enjoy what they are doing as they earn a lot of money in the process.

Any business is structured like a pyramid. But, in network marketing, everyone starts at the top and they continue to grow, depending on the effort they put into the work they do.

In a regular business office, people working in entry-level jobs or blue-collared jobs may remain at the bottom and might not have any opportunities to grow up the ladder towards the top of the pyramid.

People in regular businesses don’t help one another unless they have job connections. People literally have to lie, cheat, steal or deceive in order to get ahead in a regular business structure as if they are trying to win a reality show contest.

In network marketing, there is no need for such deception or trying to meet the right job connections. People want to help others in order to help themselves. There is no end to this business growth, expansion, and expression because of the unlimited growth.

The more experienced network marketers who are making more money want to sponsor new people to make more money and prosper so they can further prosper.

But there are some challenges in network marketing, such as making a paradigm shift and then helping others create their own paradigm shift. The secret is to know what you want as well as effectively communicate and share your goals and vision with others.

Since the distribution system in this Internet business is more balanced out and harmonious, creating more opportunities to grow and prosper comes quickly and easily as you actually perform your tasks. There is an unlimited amount of supply that is in harmony with the atmosphere, creating unlimited opportunities for income.

It might be a difficult transition from the business office environment to Internet and network marketing. They both are different lifestyles, and it is hard for most people to switch from one to the other. People become accustomed and set in their old ways of business and thinking and find it hard to make the transition.

They can eventually learn the process and get the hang of it, but they may be very frustrated and tense as they try to learn the process which seems so new and foreign to them.

In order to learn about network marketing, people need to change their mentality. They need to know and appreciate themselves as well as have confidence and become more independent in order to work hard and get ahead.

The world and business has changed and people need to adapt to this change if they desire success or risk being left behind.

Master This and Your MLM Downline Will Explode

Ask any top producing network marketer what their major network marketing secret is to success and you are bound to get the same answer. This key principle has been the universal success law with traditional multi level marketing and the new school of internet and network marketing. We all know what it is, but blatantly choose to ignore it at times.

Quite simply, it’s Simplicity.

Yes, simplicity is the key. But if that’s so obvious and easy, why do we make things so complicated?

Internet and Network Marketing can be a very simple business, but keeping it simple doesn’t mean hard work is not involved. One of the most common mistakes is people make it complicated.

Even if a complex system achieved great results for you, others will find it difficult to duplicate. In Internet and Network Marketing, personal success is not your greatest asset. Your greatest asset is having a MLM System that guarantees the network marketing success of everyone using it.

The success of others, and your success, is dependent upon their ability to do the same thing you do. Keep the least experienced of those in your network in mind when you set up a MLM System of doing things for your organization to follow.

Everything you do must be simple enough so everyone can quickly duplicate your efforts and achieve the same phenomenal results as you.

In Internet and Network Marketing, you should not do things that require special skills, resources which are available only to you or to a limited number of people.

Open up your business to a much larger pool of people who can become successful. You need to build your network as quickly as possible. Since you can only meet with a few people each day and can personally sponsor a few people, you need to use an MLM System where you can quickly help others learn to do the same simple things as you. When they do, they multiply your efforts.

Go for the same phenomenal results. This is quality duplication. Each person in your Internet and Network Marketing business, from top to bottom, must be able to duplicate what you are doing and be able to teach others to do exactly the same thing. How large a sales team you can build depends on how well it is duplicated. To ensure duplication, you need a system or processes anybody and everybody can follow and teach.

You cannot duplicate a person, but you can duplicate a system.

In building a successful and long-term network, the MLM System must rule. Remember a system is only as good as it is duplicated. The more complex a system, the less likely quality duplication will be achieved. To make sure you duplicate well, follow the network marketing system you are provided with religiously.

There is no perfect MLM system and your time is better spent perfecting your ability to duplicate it rather than perfecting a system.

Take this example: Ray Krocs,the founder of McDonald’s cannot be duplicated but the McDonald’s franchise system can be and is, to almost 100% perfection in 18,000 outlets worldwide.

Keeping it simple.

To ensure you do things your distributor can learn from and duplicate.

With everything that you do, always ask yourself the following 2 questions:

- Is what I am doing easy to duplicate?

- Is it simple enough to be duplicated?

If you answer “yes” at least 75 % of the time, you are on the right track.

The most successful people in Internet and Network Marketing Business understands everything must be kept simple in order to grow your business.

Show others how simple it is to do what you do. They need to see you do it, and then believe it is simple enough for them to quickly duplicate to achieve the same good results in your MLM Business.
