Network Marketing Success-It’s not a Sales Job!
When I first entered Network Marketing I was told in order to be successful you must sell, sell, and sell. I recently received an email “MLM tip of the day” which said:
"Don't let anyone kid you. Network marketing is a selling game and the best way to play the game is to have a good product or business presentation."
I read that and it made me cringe. How many of you reading this like to sell or be sold? My guess is you’re not raising your hand! No one likes it. Yet we get into this business of Network Marketing and we’re told that’s what we must do to be successful. No wonder the attrition rate in our business is so high, close to 97%! No wonder the phone feels like a million pounds! No wonder we feel stressed out approaching our friends and family! It’s because of crazy stuff like this. Then we start to feel like a failure because “we weren’t cut out to be in sales” and we figure that MLM only works for the lucky few who can sell, sell, sell.
Build Relationships and the Sales will follow
Network Marketing is not about selling. It’s about building relationships and focusing on other people. Helping them get what they want, not about selling them your product or selling them on joining your business. Focus on the other person. Find out what they want to accomplish then help them get what they want, that’s how you find success. Don’t sell them. It needs to be win/win not sell/sell.
Try to slow down. Instead of focusing on what you should say next, just listen to the other person and hear what they have to say. It will change the way you approach people and lower your stress level. People will sense that you care about them and want to help them reach their dreams and desires. When you take the focus off yourself and put it onto the other person you will be amazed at how relaxed and open they become.
Do yourself and your business a favor. Don’t follow the advice of all the so called MLM gurus! Don’t sell!!! Instead build a relationship with your prospect, it may take a little longer, but you’ll have a life long business partner or product buyer and that will be worth way more money to you in the long run! So, remember to have massive Network Marketing Success, it’s not a sales job, it’s a relationship business!
