There’s an extremely important question that every network marketer should ask themselves.

The question is, have you done everything that you could for your

network marketing business,

or have you allowed the fear of rejection to stop you?

Did you know that this is one of the greatest causes of failure within our industry? Of course the objections aren’t the cause of the failure, but the fear of being rejected is. I’d be lying terribly if I said that you weren’t going to eventually get rejected because that’s just part of the game. But fearing it will leave you and your business paralyzed and stagnant.

But what if I said that I could help you eliminate a great majority of the rejection that you face? Wouldn’t that be something that you’d perk your ears up for? I would think it would!

Now it’s important that you know right now that I’m not going to try and sell you some magic online tool or ebook. There’s no such thing. And besides, I can easily give you the solution right here and now without all that. I want to simply hand over the solution to rejection in your network marketing business.

But First…Where Does Rejection in your

Network Marketing Business

Really Come From?

You see, it’s really no mystery why a lot of network marketers encounter rejection at nearly every turn, while some don’t see hardly any of it.

The great difference is that those that get rejections are speaking with mostly the wrong people, while those avoiding rejection are talking to the right ones. Simple enough right?

So then, what actually qualifies a person as being the wrong or right person? That’s what I’m going to let you know right now.

Well there’s a very interesting question that I’ve borrowed a few times from one of the greatest marketing minds of all time…the late, great, and legendary Gary Halbert! Halbert would stand up in the front of a group at seminars and ask “Where is the best place to open a hamburger stand?”

Of course most people would guess location spots…corners, busy intersection, Main Street, all the usual answers each and every time. So do you know what the real answer is?

It’s in Front of a Hungry Crowd!

Of course now the answer is obvious, but isn’t it brilliant. Opening your hamburger (or hot dog, or taco, you fill in the food) stand in front of a ton of people who are starving and really wouldn’t care what you’re serving as long as it’s edible, is going to increase your chances in a huge way of selling tons of burgers.

How many rejections do you think you’d run into when it came to a starving crowd. Virtually none!

Well, same goes for your

network marketing business.

The right person to speak to regarding your network marketing business is the person who is already not only looking for a business opportunity, not even only the person actually looking for a network marketing business opportunity, but the person looking to work with YOU in a

network marketing business

opportunity. That’s specific and those specific people are the one’s that you really need to focus on.

You see, doing this makes your job significantly easier, and cuts down rejection in a major way!

Just consider that this person is already sold on network marketing, they already are aware of the fact that they’ll have to invest some money to get started in a network marketing business, and they know who you are and that you can help them achieve the success they’re looking for probably better than anyone else can.

You want them coming to you to join YOUR

network marketing business,

and not the other way around.

Are you driven to succeed in your

network marketing business?

Some people tend to fall apart like broken cars over a period of time. While some quit altogether before even leaving the starting line! These events can be prevented with some tender loving education and goal setting. The MLM business does take time to build and to cultivate the relationships that we so desire but quitting or never starting are not the ways to grow your business. To be driven by passion, you must drive passion to your business. Let the world know that you love what you do. Learn to fall in love with your products and your products will in turn sell themselves at the right time.

The

network marketing business

is a fun world to get lost in but you must have the courage to carry on through a thousand answers, rather yes or no. It is best to experience both success and failure, in order to measure your response to them. Some people do not handle success very well or failure, but you can educate your self on the ways to overcome and how to deal with the possibilities of success. Is your network marketing efforts on the top? Our resources are vital tools that we must use to incorporate our business ethics with the consumer base. The consumer is our drawing pool of prospects and members and therefore is touched by our actions and words.

How do I fall in love with my products? Yes products by nature are not animated objects with personality disorders and other humanized attributes. Use your products in your network marketing campaigns to make a difference between a sale and a boo hoo. If you know what your products can do and the benefits of their continued use, this is a good start. Your downlines should be experienced in use of the products. A prospect should be able to ask you any question in regards to the purpose and safety of the product in question. You can develop your passion for your business over time, by expanding and learning more about your capabilities. This business is very flexible and can be managed in a variety of ways to bring you a nice tidy income without you having to spend days at the office.

Your

network marketing business

goals and ambitions should be one factor in determining your overall success. The sole attribute to your generalized success is in the efforts that you design and deploy on a daily basis to attract new business and the ability to recruit. The effort is your ability not to give up under pressure or burden of despair but to figure out a new means to effectively communicate your ideas to prospects and to close the deal. The hardest part of any business is to close the deal; this is a tough topic that will be covered in some detail in a future article. Remember this tiny fact, we believe in you and you can overcome any obstacle, once you placed your mind in the right gear.

Have you hit a plateau with your network marketing business, or are simply looking for ways to amp up your

network marketing business?

In my 25 years, I see and get questions from so many people asking me either how I’ve grown such a successful business with a huge global reach (which is a good question to ask by the way)…or they ask how can they get out of a growth slump and get their business cranking again.

Many have tried all sorts of different marketing techniques. Some have spent tons of money on the flavor of the month course that usually end up failing… or they don’t stick around long enough for it to work until they jump onto the next great thing.

Regardless, there is one solution to growing your

network marketing business

that can not only be great immediately, but also will help your business greatly for the long haul.

So what is this quick way? Very simple…

Training and Motivating Your Downline Is One of the Fastest Ways to Amp Your Business Up…and Keep It Pumping!

Let’s think about this for a minute. You see most people forget about why they joined your

network marketing business

in the first place. They forget that the appeal was likely because of the passive residual income, which is possible only because of the LEVERAGE of their downline.

So then, why on earth would you ignore your downline and let them fend for themselves? Why would you not do everything that you can do to train them using an automated and duplicable system and motivating them to get out there and use it? Ignoring this would be like opening a McDonald’s on the corner of Main Street, and just having all of your employees standing around while you’re doing all of the work. Would you ever do that?

No but so many people do exactly that with network marketing and it’s exactly the same thing, and it has the exact same effect on your network marketing business.

Ways to Train and Motivate Your Downline…

Of course just telling you to train and motivate your downline would be useless without giving you some immediate ways to do that. Here are a few effective ways that we’ve found for getting our downline rockin’ and rollin’!

Give Them a System to Use!… Providing your downline with a system to effectively recruit new business partners and/or gain new customers that they can jump right into is the greatest thing that you can do for your network marketing business.
Of course that requires that you have a system put together that they can duplicate.

If not, the other option is to go upline until you find someone who has a system that you can start implementing and start handing down to your downline.

Why would they share it with you? For the same reason that you’d share it with your downline of course…because it benefits THEM as well when you’re doing good.

Motivate Them With Email… You’re making a huge mistake if you’re not using an auto-responder system and plugging your downline’s information into that system.

Doing this gives you an easy way to shoot out motivating emails, and keep them current on new things that’s working to grow business. This way when you come up on something that works like gang busters…even if it’s an email subject line that’s working for your prospects…then they can all use that and you’ll likely get a nice bump in your business almost immediately.

Get Fancy with Webinars… One of the things that we do, along with the things already mentioned is to have training webinars. These webinars are usually quite packed and we’ve noticed a trend with those that continuously attend the webinars are usually our best performers.

We add entertainment/education/motivation all in one. We include success stories and then have those who are performing well in our organization and other friends come and give tips on how to grow business.

So there you go, if you’re not taking the time to train and motivate your employees at McDonald’s then you’re not selling any hamburgers.

Well the same goes for network marketing. If you’re not taking the time to train your downline then you’re hanging your business out there to dry!

There’s seems to be a forgotten element to our

network marketing business.

That element counts in nearly any business that you visit. When you go in, you expect a certain level of customer service…or frankly you probably won’t revisit.

Now here’s where the problem arises. Those who expect this level of customer service will go ahead with our own business and completely ignore any focus on customer service. It’s a bit ironic don’t you think?

So now, let’s think about this…

How does it make you feel when you’re not delivered great customer service when you visit a business? Does it make you want to come back, or does it make you want to stay away forever…and worse… go to that person’s competitor?

Well guess what. YOU are not exempt from customer service with your

network marketing business.

You are required to deliver great customer service to your prospects and to your customers or they will do exactly as you would do…they’ll go to your competition.

So how do you deliver superior customer service? There are a lot of specific little ways for you to do this of course. I could spout off probably fifteen or twenty different ways right here.

But the fact is that customer service comes down to one simple thing. That thing is common sense! And what you have to be logical about is another simple little theory that some know as the “Golden Rule”. The Golden Rule is to “Do Unto Others As You Would Have You Would Have Them Done Unto You”. This rule is a great maxim to live by…especially in business.

Doing so will almost ensure that you’ll have customer service. Unless of course you enjoy being treated badly by businesses that you visit.

So instead of listing a laundry list of things that you should do to make sure that you’re practicing good solid customer service, there are a few values that you must have that will cover nearly everything.

The first of those values is…

Caring…You see when you care, it’s easy to have great customer service. When you care, and you put others first, you automatically will begin doing the things that bring people back to your

network marketing business.

And the best part is that if you truly do care about your prospects and your customers, you’ll be genuine and that will shine right through.

People will feel that sincerity, and therefore want to do business with you again and again, and/or join your network marketing business opportunity because they feel like you’ll be there to help them out.

Integrity… Having integrity simply means that you do the right thing, even when it’s not always easy. This can also be called character.
Having this value means that you’ll treat customers, prospects, and even business partners (downline) with respect. You’ll be honest and do what you say you’re going to do. Integrity breeds accountability which in turn breeds credibility. Let me tell you…once word gets around that you’re a business man with integrity, it will be hard pressed not to find other business people who want to do business with you one way or another.

The reason for that is that so few people carry these values around with them. So few people put the blinders on to the short cuts. Once you’re known for that the speed of word-of-mouth is incredibly fast as you’ll see.

Once you begin focusing on caring and integrity, you’ll see that everything falls together nicely and that success comes rushing at you as fast as a snowball creates an avalanche.

Once you have decided to set up your

network marketing business,

you need to decide how to work your finances. Depending upon the program you enroll in, you may have your earnings sent to you electronically, either to your bank account or a PayPal account. As more people use PayPal for various transactions, you may find it is beneficial for your business regardless of how you operate.

If your

network marketing business

funnels your money to the bank, you should still have a PayPal account for necessary expenses. PayPal offers you a convenient way to pay for materials online and to collect funds from people joining your team. If you have the option to get money via PayPal, all the better. You can sign up for money market options and earn interest on the money you keep in the account.

Other ways PayPal is useful to your

network marketing business:

• Buy promotional items easily! If you need business cards, posters, or window clings, you’ll find several printers let you quick pay with this service.
• Get the debit card! You can attach a special credit card to your PayPal account and use it for your networking marketing business. Every charge you make is recorded online, so you can consult the website and collect the data you need come tax time.
• Use it with your bank! If your parent program pays to PayPal, send funds to your bank. If you need to replenish your account for PR, withdraw. So easy to do.
• Advertise online! Using your PayPal credit card, you can set up Adwords for any websites you use to promote your business.

PayPal is a powerful tool in any businessman’s arsenal. Some vendors work exclusively with PayPal now, so if you want to succeed in the network marketing business you need to have capital handy at all times. PayPal is one way that works.
