Read the rest of this article to learn several strategies top 2% earners are using to build large and lucrative businesses:
- Market Effectively
Move beyond the short-term make a list of friends and family tactics most network marketers practice. Use real marketing. Once you run out of friends and family to prospect, you are going to need to use real marketing to grow your business.
Purchasing leads and business cards, and setting up your company-provided replicated website seems like marketing. A lot of these tools are ineffective and a waste of time. A variety of elements factor into a marketing plan:
Identify Your Target Market: Who is your target market for your Forever Living opportunity? People who own businesses? Broke people who need to make money? Focus on frustrated network marketers who seek solutions to their business problems. Network marketers won't waste your time with stupid questions about whether this is a scam, a pyramid, etc. People in network marketing have signaled they are willing to put a monthly product purchase onto their credit card.
Adopt A Compelling Position: Thousands of people are promoting Forever Living. Why should anyone sign up with you? Decide what sets you apart and communicate that to the marketplace.
Promotion Strategy: How will you generate leads once you have approached all your family and friends about Forever Living? Learn direct response online marketing tactics that produce leads.
Follow-Up: You must follow up with all your leads. Use an automated email system, combined with live phone calls, to build rapport with and close sales.
- Marketing Is More Critical Than Duplication
Traditionally, network marketers in companies like Forever Living are taught to keep their business-building activities extremely simple and duplicable by others Focus On Marketing More Than Duplication People in network marketing opportunities such as Forever Living are told they need to keep everything they do simple so people in their Forever Living downline can duplicate these activities.
How effective is this strategy to keep everything simple so other can duplicate it? For a very small percentage of marketers, this strategy is effective. But for the masses of network marketers in opportunities such as Forever Living, keeping all the activities in their business simple will NOT necessarily promote duplication.
To prove this to you, look at these stats:
- Only about 20% of network marketers in Forever Living ever sponsor anyone at all.
- Of those that do sponsor people, most will only sponsor 2-3 people total.
- 80 percent of people in your Forever Living organization will sponsor zero people...that's right: zero!
In other words, the keep-it-simple approach so popular in network marketing has an 80% failure rate!
The strategy to keep-it-simple sounds great but in practice does NOT invoke high levels of duplication and creates problems very few people ever recognize. The most common way to keep it simple is to use warm market recruiting, which is to approach family and friends and present the Forever Living business opportunity to them.For decades network marketers have been teaching this strategy not because it's the best but because its the most simple...but simple does not mean effective!
This strategy can actually lead to people quitting Forever Living. Once people run out of others to talk to within the first 30-90 days, they will often quit Forever Living because they have NO CLUE how to perform the one activity they must rely on to build a business: advertising and marketing to generate consistent lead flow. The second problem this friends and family approach creates is it repels high caliber prospects. Ideal prospects for a Forever Living business, people with transferable skills and large personal and professional networks such as real estate professionals, professional salespeople, and other business people tend NOT to want to approach family and friends about their opportunity. Many professionals want to protect their reputation and do NOT want to introduce their friends and colleagues to an opportunity that they just got started with such as Forever Living.
So should you begin by approaching friends and family about your Forever Living business? Without a doubt. But unless you learn at least one rock solid marketing and advertising approach, you will run out of people to talk to. Your best prospects are likely going to want to market their business professionally, not pester friends at cocktail parties. Learn how to market your business on the Internet, and you can attract extremely high caliber Forever Living prospects who want to learn the same. If just a handful of people also learn to market Forever Living online, you could experience massive growth in your Forever Living business, without relying heavily on the friends and family approach.""
- Network With Like-Minded People
Understand that having a job and building a Forever Living enterprise are extremely different. Rather than depending hopelessly on a job to make you rich, you're building a long term enterprise.
Pretty soon your friends and relatives won't understand what you're doing. That's when they'll start making annoying comments:
- Why don't you focus on a job like everyone else?
- When are you going to stop wasting your time on that silly thing?
- You're doing one of those pyramid things! Ha!
This is employee mindset. Under no circumstances should you let these type of comments influence your resolve. Do not discuss your business with these types of people. You'll feel more confident and get fewer hassles.
Find other people building a network marketing business. Find and go to local and national events for network marketers in Forever Living. Connect with a few top leaders in Forever Living or other companies. They are often energetic, support people.
Reach out to other networker through Facebook. Do not lead with your Forever Living business. Start conversations. Your income is going to be the average of the 5 people you spend time with the most. Pick the people you spend time with carefully.
