HOW TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN . . .SECRETS OF SUCCESS
by Lon Lindsey
NETWORK MARKETING SECRETS TO SUCCESS
Secrets of success are the tools for success and can be used to
achieve success in any venture you attempt. Here are some of the most
important ones to remember. Also, the best way to remember is to
teach someone else. Practice makes perfect, which makes your goals
all the more achievable.
- PROMOTE QUALITY PRODUCTS - Become a distributor for only those
products you can feel good talking to others about. If you don't use
the products, you cannot tell others how much you like or enjoy them.
- CARE AND SHARE - The object of network marketing is to SHARE
something fantastic with someone else. Show and tell about your
products to everyone you know. Include friends, relatives,
co-workers, neighbors, and members of organizations to which you
belong. Remember, organizations are always looking for products that
can be used for fundraising.
- YOUR LITERATURE WILL DO THE SELLING - Keep in mind you aren't
trying to sell anything. You are sharing. Most people are not
salespeople. Encourage people to read your literature. If your
product is good and fairly priced, your literature will do the
selling.
- INVITE DISTRIBUTORS - Mail your literature to people in other
parts of the country or world. Always include a note with it. Make
it just a few lines, asking the person to examine it. Always follow
up with another note or a brief phone call. Ask their opinion. This
can often be the turning point in their decision toward becoming a
distributor.
- BE CONSISTENT AND PERSISTENT - Contact a few people each week.
Formulate your plan of weekly activity and be consistent and
persistent in following it. The plan should include five to ten hours
devoted to your project each week. Sticking to your plan is one of
the most essential aspects of network marketing.
- HELP AND TRAIN YOUR FIRST LEVEL PEOPLE - Assist those you
sponsor to recruit their first level people. Let them know that you
offer them 100 percent support. Teach others the importance of doing
the same. In helping others become successful, you can become
successful. It is a wonderful way to make life long friends.
- DON'T BECOME DISCOURAGED - Don't expect a lot of money fast.
Consider this: Regard the first three to six months as your training
period. The real "big money" usually develops in the lower levels and
it takes time to build your organization to that point. DON'T
BECOME DISCOURAGED. Success takes time and effort, but you will
achieve it. The quicker you start sponsoring others, the sooner you
will make it happen. It's okay to dream, but be a doer not just a
dreamer.
- MAKE THINGS HAPPEN - Don't mail out a few cards, letters or
brochures, or contact a few people, and then wait for the money to
roll in. It won't happen. Always replace the people in your
organization who do not succeed.
- DON'T WASTE TIME - Don't waste your time on skeptics or
non-motivated people. They will not succeed in your business or in
any other endeavor. They do not possess the qualities of a winner.
(This includes rocking-chair advisors who talk but never act.)
- DON'T BECOME A MULT-LEVEL JUNKIE - When you have secured a line
(leg), don't hesitate to start a new one. to ensure success, do not
over diversify yourself. If you become a multi-level "jumping jack,"
your actions will be duplicated.
- ALWAYS BE PROFESSIONAL - Always conduct your business in a
professional and ethical manner. Stick to the facts and be
realistic. People will respect you for it.
- TAKE THE FIRST STEP NOW - Don't wait! Start immediately! RIGHT
NOW! You can build a gigantic network marketing organization, but you
must make the decision to take the FIRST STEP and then stick to it.
THIS POEM EXPLAINS IT BEST
The hardest job in the world, it seems, is just to make a start,
And even when desire is strong, this is the toughest part.
You put off things that should be done, you
wrestle with fear and doubt,
But the only time your ship comes in, is
when you send it out!
You'll never win the prize you want, you'll
only cross the finish line by getting in the race!
No one can do it for you.
You must do it by your self.
What good are goals that gather up,
dust upon a shelf!
The time to do it is always now, you can't
have a doubting heart.
The longer you wait, the harder it is to
make that essential start.
The first step is always the hardest, but
once that sep's begun,
The thing you thought you couldn't do, is
already halfway DONE.
SUCCESS WILL COME TO YOU . . . by studying, understanding, and
putting the success secrets to work for you.
