Top 10 Steps to Success
in Network Marketing

by: Usa Johnson

Although network marketing is one of the simplest and quickest roads to personal and financial success, only 5 percent of those who make the journey reach their goals. What sets them apart? The same thing that will set you apart if you follow these key steps:

1) Know what you want.

What do you want in life? Wealth? Health? Happiness?

Any and all can be yours-if you create a compelling enough vision of your future. This vision works like a magnet, moving you forward and keeping you going, even when you hit occasional walls.

Walls are part of any business, network marketing included. It's what you do to get up, over, around, and through them that matters. Really knowing what you want will move you beyond them each and every time.

2) Make a firm committment.

Network marketing may be a unique business model, but like all businesses, it works only if you do. No matter what product or service you sell or what company you join, you need to be the engine that drives your success.

Don't be content to be a passenger. Remember: Action is commitment set in motion; motion builds momentum; momentum, over time, leads to success.

3) Follow the system.

Network marketing companies don't just offer a product - they offer a system for delivering it to the public. In short, they've worked out all "policies and procedures" to a science, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel or waste precious time and energy on the countless details that plague most business start-ups.

The result? You (and everyone you bring into the organization) hit the ground running. Therefore, follow your company's system EXACTLY. There's no quicker way to success.

4) Love and use your product.

Enthusiasm sells products and begins with familiarity. That means knowing your company's products (or services) inside and out. Use each over an extended period of time to gain firsthand experience of its benefits. Talk to others to learn how each bettered their lives as well. This deeper understanding enables you to talk more comfortably, authoritatively, and enthusiastically about your products and services with all you meet.

5) Work your upline

Your sponsor is part teacher, part guide, part cheerleader, part friend. That's a whole lot of parts! And when you put them together, you get an energetic, knowledgeable, and caring person who can get you where you want to go as directly as possible.

Know, however, that your upline includes more than just your sponsor. Your sponsors sponsor (or even your sponsor's sponsor's sponsor) is someone with helpful tools and tips. Don't be shy about giving him or her a quick phone call or dropping either an e-mail. Use them to expand your knowledge and reach.

6) Cultivate winners.

Build strong relationships with a significant number of the individuals you sponsor. Exactly how many is a significant number? It could be 10 to 20, or just two to three.

The key is this: You don't have to have a downline of thousands all giving 100 percent. All you need is a handful of folks who have "heard the calling" and respond body and soul.

These are the distributors worth cultivating; they're the true winners who will help you grow your business, so support them any way you can. As to the rest, if they're reluctant to begin with, no amount of pushing or pulling will get them to change their minds or the way they do business.

7) Avoid cold calls.

When prospecting, always start with "familiar faces" -family, friends, acquaintances, etc. Because they know and respect you, the trust is there. Too, they often listen more intently and politely, allowing you the opportunity to fine-tune your approach. That's invaluable experience, and it can help you quickly build the confidence you need to extend your circle.

8) Reject rejection.

Rejection may not be fun, but it's not personal. That's why it's critical that you commit to not letting your fear of rejection stand in the way of your goals.

One way to work through your fear is to literally list the reasons some folks wouldn't be interested in network marketing in general and your company/ product/service in particular.

Next, prepare responses to each and every one of the objections. This act alone will bolster your confidence; too, your responses will help prospects move beyond their own limited beliefs.

9) Diversify.

Thanks to the Internet, teleconferencing, new and inexpensive printing processes, and the like, you can communicate with prospects not just across the street but around the world.

Scary and overwhelming as this may be, it's critical that you embrace these new ways of doing business and make them work for you. That said, never lose sight of the old standbys - home meetings and one-on -one contacts.

Human contact is critical in network marketing, no matter what the product. There's simply no substitution, so create a balance between old and new approaches to achieve maximum results.

10) Take care of yourself.

If you want to succeed in network marketing, you've got to give it your all. But that doesn't mean you have to live and breathe the business 24 hours a day. You'll quickly burn out, plus, you won't enjoy the finer things in life-the very things you went into the business to experience. In short then, don't put off to tomorrow what you can begin to enjoy today.

A Dream Come True

Usa Johnson moved to the United States from Thailand in 1989—a single mom, with no job, no money, no prospects. She did, however, have a dream: to make a better life for herself and her young son.

In 1991, she met her husband who happened to be a big believer in the network marketing model. He convinced her to try a network marketing business.

Usa tried a product called Tahitian Noni Juice and saw such an incredible difference in the way she felt, she decided to become a distributor with Morinda, Inc.

Today Usa has a downline of over 55,000 and an annual salary that most people only dream about.

That Motivation Stuff

"Motivation doesn't last, but neither does taking a bath. That's why we recommend it DAILY."

"The process of getting and staying motivated is just that — a process. You are never done. Just as you feed your body every day, you need to feed your mind every day."

"The problem is that most people's mental diet is negative. It serves to de-motivate rather than motivate. Certainly one seminar or limited exposure to good information cannot be expected to overcome a lifetime of mental malnutrition."

"Many people are realizing they need constant reminders and regular infusions of positive, stimulating and inspiring ideas."

"To operate at our best we need support. There's no need to try and go it alone. Anyone who has achieved great success did so with the help of many others."

"By maintaining our exposure to the good, the clean, the powerful, the inspiring and the uplifting, we're nourishing our minds and positively affecting our attitudes. It's all about what we think about. And by creating the right environment and feeding our minds healthy things, our thinking will be the kind of thinking that keeps us motivated and inspired."

Barbara's Wisdom

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. If you wait to overcome all of your possible objections, before you start something, nothing will ever be attempted.

The great thing in any new venture is the start. To see an opportunity and to pursue it, even though in the beginning, you're not totally sure of all the answers to your questions.

If you want to be successful you can start at anytime. The only true failure lies in your failure to start. The reason why so little is ever done, is generally because so little is attempted.

If you can get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed....
