There has been a huge growth in the network marketing industry recently. This is not because it is the only growth industry. The growth in network marketing is mostly attributed to how accessible the industry has become. There is a rise in members joining network marketing companies and the rise in people that join companies because of a few rich guys and celebrities who have made it big in the industry. These companies often give the impression that all you need to do is follow a few easy steps and you can be a millionaire.
Network marketing has been around for a long time. It started 100 years ago with Tupperware, many people know Tupperware as a party plan company. But they actually started off as a catalogue selling their products. It was not long before sales plummeted and Tupperware needed to find another way to make money. They decided to have a party to sell their products instead. The first party was a success and the rest is history.
Today, network marketing is big business. Obviously it has taken on another dimension because it is easier and cheaper to advertise on the internet and social media than it was back in the days. But network marketing has continued to be a success. Any new person to the industry should realize and remember that network marketing is, at its essence, sales.
Like any other sales job, sales in network marketing requires you to understand people, understand their needs, understand their needs better, present the solution to their problem and then make the sale. If you don’t understand any of these then you will not succeed. You will be thrown into a network marketing company and you just hope that it is right for you.
In my opinion, the people running network marketing companies have a lot of experience and have seen this industry take shape over the last 100 years. They know how to do things the right way but on the other hand, they have a thick skin. They have seen people come in and out. There is no place for those people. Network marketing companies today have a higher than average failure rate because they allow anyone to join with hopes that they will see the success that people have had.
What You Need to Know
Are you thinking of investing in a network marketing company? Are you planning to join and do you have some doubts or concerns? In this long article, we have broken down some of the most important things to know before joining a company. If at any point you think there is something we missed then let us know and we will have it covered for you.
You need to know the rules of the industry. These are not set in stone but almost all companies have similar rules. Make sure you know the industry well enough to understand the rules so you can implement them properly.
You should also have an idea of how much you need to work to build the company. Network marketing isn’t a get rich quick scheme, however, you can grow your company much faster than normal. This is true only if you do it right. Most people work twice as hard as they would on a normal job. A fun fact, every successful network marketing company has a list of rules that every member has to abide.
Your company will not grow unless everyone works to grow it. So, make sure you put in the necessary effort.
Know Your Product
There are so many products out there, which will suit your specific market. You need to understand the product and be able to make an educated decision about which product is right for you. If you are a newbie in the industry, then I would suggest taking your time looking at different product options. When looking at different product options, you need to be aware of the price points. The cheaper a product, the harder it will be to sell.
Everyone has seen those TV commercials about weight loss products. They might be telling you how to lose weight in 28 days for $50. Well, that is true, but for $50 you are unlikely to get a product that lasts 28 days. Look for products that will be effective but in the long run. It is all about long-term strategy with network marketing.
Spend Time With Your Team
Your success in network marketing depends on your team. A good network marketer knows that you have to work with your sponsor or network leader. They have experience in the network marketing industry and will be happy to help you. They can also help guide you in the right direction with building your network and dealing with the ups and downs of the network marketing business.
Your success at network marketing is not only based on your work ethic and determination. It heavily depends on the team around you.
