Network Marketing

Network Marketing entails its own particular set of skills and techniques.

Network Marketing in the 90s was brash and loud. You were told to put all your friends and family and casual acquaintances on a list, invite them to a (nameless) business presentation,  focus on the business opportunity, buy up big on motivational products, attend rallies, hold meetings at your home, deliver products, nag people for repeat sales, convince them they needed your business, load up on inventory to qualify for bonuses, do paperwork for yourself and others you introduced, and to no longer associate with "negative" people. Who used to be your friends.

Horrible stuff.  People would lose money and more.  And the drop-out rates were sky-high.

Network Marketing doesn't have to be like that.

Networking at its core should be interacting with others, for mutual benefit.

The internet is now central to most people's business lives.

Network Marketing is gradually learning to adapt to the internet, to the fact that people can now research people, companies, products, and compensation plans. To read reviews.

Successful Network  Marketers:

  • stay ahead of the herd
  • market themselves as leaders
  • harness technology as a  tool
  • use attraction marketing to get people to come to them instead of desperately chasing people
  • provide solutions
  • focus on potential leaders

Network Marketing by name, involves networking with others online. You can't be an island, and develop a network. You have to interact.

Network Marketing often uses Social Networking tools to help network online.
