Where to Find Training to be a Successful Network Marketer

Everyone who joins a home based business is going to need some kind of training. So where should you go looking for that training?

Many people believe that you should get all of your training from your upline, the person who brought you into the company. Still others believe that outside trainers who teach people in all different kinds of network marketing companies how to make money is your best bet. So which is really better? Keep reading to find out.

It all really boils down to how good of a trainer your upline really is. I believe that getting training from the person who brought you into the business is always going to be best because first of all it’s gonna be free (and we all like that) and second of all it’s going to be more tailored to your company specifically and that’s always a good thing.

If your upline is willing to train you and they have good information there really isn’t that much need to venture out to other sources of training. You’ll just end up spending money that you could use to market rather than learning how to market. Make sense?

There are always cases however when your upline is either unwilling to train you or they just don’t have a lot of information to share for whatever reason. If that’s the case it’s usually best to go up a few levels until you find someone who knows what their talking about and is willing to give you the training you need.

If you still can’t find someone who is willing to train you that is when you should start looking at some outside training material.

Another thing is that once you’ve reach a certain level of success in MLM you might want to start learning more advanced marketing techniques. So going to a big sales seminar might work out really well from you. If you have build a strong foundation with the training from your upline the outside training could just be the icing on the cake that will help you sell even more!

At the end of the day everyone is different and some people will want to get their training from other people. While I believe that in most cases working with your upline is best ultimately it is up to you and what you want to do for your business.

What Company Should You Join...Zurvita? Trump?

It can be tempting when you know you want to work from home to join a couple of different businesses and work them all at the same time. The idea is that you’ll find one you’re really good at or that you’ll be good at them all and the combined income of all of them will make you rich faster.

However that can turn into a big fat mess really quickly. Here is why I believe you should only join one company at a time.

I know that the idea of joining lots of different companies might seems like a smart investment but it never is. It’s not like buying multiple lottery tickets and hoping one is the winner because unlike the lottery all home based businesses require work and effort.

When you join more than one company you are splitting your focus and you are actually lowering your chances of ever really being successful in any company.

Most home based business owners already have a lot going on, family, friends, perhaps another full or part time job… the list goes on. So the more you add to that list the more everything else will suffer.

Once you have chosen a company, stick with it. Give your chosen company all your focus and energy for a significant amount of time and you will see results, no doubt about it.

I have often ran across people to promote the idea of joining multiple companies and will tell you that it’s the best way to go. In every instance those people really aren’t successful in any company. So why would you listen to them when you want to know how to be successful.

When you look at the top income earners in every single company I will promise you that not one of them is a part of any other home based business. That’s why they were able to be so successful, because they focused on one business and gave it everything they had.

Finally, the upfront cost of joining multiple companies can really hurt your bank account. Most companies cost hundreds of dollars to get started and it’s worth it because you’re going to be making all that money back. However, if you invest a lot of money and then make hardly any of it back you might be tempted to quit working from home all together.

When you join just one company your investment is much smaller and you are much more likely to succeed. It’s a no brainer really.

Be Passionate About Your Zurvita Business

If you want to be successful in netowork marketing you’re going to need a few things. One is a really great work ethic, two is a company that gives you the opportunity and the tools for success and three is a intense passion for your product. It is nearly impossible to become successful working from home if you’re not crazy about the product that you’re marketing.

Of course it can be done. However, you’ll find that when you are marketing something that you truly love and that have value for the people who are buying it success will be much easier.

When you know that what you are offering people has true and legitimate value you will find it much easier to make sales.

So when choosing a company to get started with you’ll want to really make sure that you love the product that they offer. Try it out for yourself or at least get testimonials so that you know that it’s something you can be proud to market.

So many people join companies based on the compensation plan alone. And while it is extremely important to find a company that has a great comp plan in many cases the product is just as important and sometimes even more important. CNNMoney.com has just written a fantastic article on Zurvita and their new Local Adlink product go here for the full article : http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/marketwire/0586140.htm

Also, you’ll want think about how your product will be distributed. Not all products are available all over the country and if they are there might be shipping involved. Will you have to ship the product yourself of will the company do it for you? These are just a few things that you need to think about when choosing a company and a product.

Also, remember that just because you like a product that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should always go with that business. Many companies make a great product but the opportunity to make big money isn’t there. You want to look at everything. Just because a product is great that doesn’t mean that the business is.

Choosing the right business and the right product for your success is extremely important. Take your time and find the right company and the right product for you. Remember, in order to be successful you have to be passionate about your product!

Should I Start a Blog?

If you’ve got a home based business you should have a home based business blog. It’s as simple as that. Many home based business owners believe they are doing everything they can do to market their businesses and yet they are missing out on such a simple way of getting more prospects and earning more money.

A blog is simply an online journal or sorts. You write your thoughts, feelings, and ideas on your blog and instead of it being private it is open to the entire internet. You can start a blog for free online and before you know it you will have people checking out your blog and visiting your website or calling you for more information about your business.

You can write anything you want in your blog so if you don’t know what to write or you’re not a professional writer no need to fear. Short, sweet and simple blog posts are sometimes the best anyway… at least if you’re a beginner.

Once you’ve created your blog and you’ve made a post or two you might want to join a blogring. This is simply a bunch of people with blogs who have the same ideas or interests. There are blogrings for stay at home moms, school teachers, grandmothers, and of course people who work from home. In fact you can find a blogring about just about anything.

By joining a group like this you will get more attention to your blog and get more visits each day. Because after all a blog really isn’t all that useful unless people are actually reading it.

Once you’re a little more comfortable with the idea of blogging on a regular basis you can do all kinds of things to ensure that more and more people are reading your blog each week.

Also, make sure that at the end of every blog post there is a way for people to get in touch with you if they are interested in joining your business or getting more information. That’s the whole point anyway right?

Once you see how easy it is to start blogging you’ll never want to stop. You’ll have a great way to express all of your opinions and ideas and at the same time you’ll be gaining more free prospects and leading more and more people to your business! That’s why everyone should have a home based business blog!

Of course every team will be different. Some teams already have a training system in place but this is for the people who don’t know what to do next. If you follow these 10 tips you will train a team of people who will be extremely successful in network marketing. And in that success they will help you reach your goals as well!

1. Develop a Marketing Budget - You can’t lay out a marketing plan of action unless you know how much money your new team member has to use in a month. I recommend that unless they absolutely insist you tell them to spend no more than $50 - $100 per month on marketing. (And some people can spend much less than that) That’s because if someone is spending a lot of money they are going to expect big results and you can’t always promise big results your first couple of months.

Once you know how much money your new team member has to market with you can sit down and create to plan of action for them based on what they have to spend and how much time they have to do it all in.

2. Create a List of Friends and Family - I know, I know, people don’t like to do this anymore blah, blah, but honestly this is one of the best ways to get your new team member out there and talking to people. Talking with friends and family first is great practice and best of all it’s free. So no matter how much they protest don’t let them skip this step!

3. Get Them Plugged into a Team Environment - Whether it’s local opportunity meetings or a weekly team conference call find a way to get them plugged into a team like environment. You never want your new team member to feel alone or like they aren’t being looked after. Getting involved with a team will help them to stay motivated and focused.

4. Teach Them the Power of the No - If you’re in network marketing you’re going to hear the word “no”… a lot! Teach your new team member that hearing the word “no” isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It just means that they’re that much closer to a “yes”! Sometimes people feel that if they get a “no” they must be doing something wrong which is not the case at all! Make sure they know that!

5. Use Article Marketing - Article marketing is free, simple and really effective. So if you have a new team member who is new to the internet or internet marketing this is the perfect place to start!

6. Call Them 3 Times Per Week - Your new team member should never, ever feel like they’re in this alone. For the first few months call them at least 3 times a week to check in on them, keep them motivated and give them new ideas!

7. Create Healthy Competition - Once you’ve established a team environment you might want to think about creating some sort of contest to keep them on their toes. Nothing motivates greatness more than a little competition!

8. Introduce Them To Your Upline - This is especially important if you’re new to MLM yourself. There are going to be questions that not even you may be able to answer. That’s why it’s so important to introduce your new team member to your upline.

9. Don’t Waste Your time With Weak Links - Look, there are always going to be people who aren’t pulling their own weight. You tell them to make and list and they don’t, you tell them to come to a meeting and they don’t. We’re not saying that you should cast these people aside completely. However, you don’t want to waste a ton of time trying to motivate someone who can complete the simplest tasks. Spend your time with the people who will do what it takes to succeed.

10. Be Honest - Never, ever lie about your income or success level. Always be an honest open book to your team members. This will establish trust and it’s just a good way to do business.
