Top Priorities in Network Marketing
Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on July 11th, 2007 With network marketers, there is much discussion of how available business-building time should be used. Some networkers spend more time preparing and organizing than actually doing anything productive to build their business. With that in mind, here is an example of what I feel is good utilization of your time. I welcome any opinions, pro or con.
Priority #1 in Network Marketing
Contact and train new associates in your group. Call them on the phone, do not rely on email only. This step is crucial, because they need encouragement and direction to get started on a successful note. Do not sponsor and then move to the next prospect right away - take some time with your new associates.
Priority #2 in Network Marketing
Contact your prospects and help them understand your business and how they can benefit from it. Again, I strongly suggest voice communication over email, whenever possible. There is a personal touch to talking with someone that cannot be duplicated by exchanging emails.
Priority #3 in Network Marketing
Support and encourage existing leaders in your group. Help them learn to train their downline, just as you are. Existing leaders are associates you have helped develop by practicing Priority #1 above.
Priority #4 in Network Marketing
Engage in personal development. Use commuting time to listen to practical and motivational material. Keep your attitude up!
Along with these four priorities, there will be time for organizing and planning things. This is something you need to do - just don’t let planning, organizing, and preparing take up all your time to the exclusion of working directly with existing associates and prospects.
