What’s in it for me? Learn how to become a great network marketer.

What do you dislike most about your job? Is it your evil boss, the late nights in the office or maybe the constraints of your company’s strategy? If only there was a job where you could set your own hours, be your own boss and follow your own path.

In fact such a job exists: network marketing. Network marketers are both salesmen and managers; as well as selling their own products, they recruit others to sell for them. This strategy allows them to set their hours, have unlimited income potential, and work with whoever they choose.

But how do you get this dream job? These blinks show the path to untold riches and success as a network marketer.

In these blinks you’ll discover

why being a professional beats being a poser;
how network marketing can take you from Las Vegas to Moscow; and
why success starts with a very long list.

Network marketing is a dream job most people may have never even considered.

What’s your dream job? If you could choose to do anything, what would it be? To be fair, most people would say things like “artist,” “astronaut” or “professional beer taster,” and probably wouldn’t say “network marketer.”

A network marketer is someone who not only sells products, but also recruits others to sell on their behalf, in return for a commission. For example, if you sell cell phones as a network marketer, then you won’t just be looking for customers to buy your phones, but also for other sellers to sell your phones.

No one seems to consider network marketing a “dream job,” but maybe they should!

As a network marketer, you are your own boss. You set your own pay, depending on how hard you sell and recruit. The difference between your pay and a traditional employee’s pay, however, is that for you, the sky's the limit! Nothing can hold you back if you have the right skills and put in the effort.

In addition, network marketers also have the opportunity to meet some amazing people, both those they sell to as well as those they recruit. And in traveling to meet these amazing people, you’ll also visit some amazing places.

Not only will you have the pleasure of leading a wonderful life, but you’ll also have the opportunity to help others achieve the same success. As a network marketer, a large part of your time is spent coaching and inspiring your recruits to become successful network marketers themselves.

By helping them develop, you will likewise grow by sharing in their progress (both monetarily and personally).

So how do you set the gears in motion for network marketing success? Our following blinks will give you concrete advice how.

Becoming a network marketer requires professionalism and an eagerness to learn.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to succeed in anything, then you’ll have to work hard in order to develop the necessary skills, and this is just as true in network marketing.

The amount of work you put in correlates directly to which tier of network marketers you end up belonging to: poser, amateurs and professionals.

Once your prospects understand your product, get them hooked with presentations and follow-ups.

Inviting prospects to review your product is a great start, but it’s not enough to convince them to join your team. To accomplish this, you’ll have to present your product personally, and follow up.

Presenting isn’t about selling yourself as an expert. Rather, it’s about selling the product itself. The best way to do this is by telling a story.

The final steps make prospects into customers and new distributors.

After presenting and following up, your prospects are finally ready to become your new customers or distributors, those who sell your products on your behalf.

Yet, this transformation from prospect into customer/distributor doesn’t happen automatically. You have to actively help them with their transformation. You can’t and shouldn’t pressure your prospects into becoming distributors/customers. Even if you succeed in doing so, the relationship won’t be long-lasting.

Once you’ve turned your prospects into distributors, it’s time to help them get started.

A successful network marketer will help his distributors get off the ground and will go to industry events.

Network marketing is all about earning through your distributors. As such, you have to take special care to make sure that they’re working intelligently, and this is especially true in the beginning.
