No. 2 of Seven Things That Make a Difference in Your Network Marketing Business
If you are in the process of building a Network Marketing Business, or considering starting one, there are skills you will need to develop and actions you will need to take to be successful in your business.
Some of these things are habits. Some of them are mindset. Others are things that you must use effectively to build a large business. Over the next few weeks, I’m going to reveal these 7 things to you.
Today, I present #2 – Image.
The underlying factor in all these things is a concept called “getting over the line”. Getting over the line means to develop the mindset that there is no turning back. You must have a rock-solid commitment to your business, your company, and your future so that you will never quit, no matter what challenges come up. Once you make that commitment, you must be laser focused and never turn back. You are committed to your dream and your future.
That’s getting over the line.
As a leader, you duplicate these 7 things to help the individuals in your organization develop their mindset that there is no turning back and to stay laser focused. These 7 things will dramatically increase the number of people in your group to get over that line.
They are:
1. Posture
2. Image
3. Events
4. Personal Development
5. Consistency
6. Commitment
7. Sacrifice
Let’s get to #2:
IMAGE
Anytime you present your products or opportunity to someone, think about the “image” you present. Where do you first meet your prospects? If it’s online, use professional looking ads, not too wordy, no misspellings, bad grammar, or punctuation. Use what’s already created and is proven.
The same thing goes for a personal website, if you have one, or plan to, be sure the colors are easy on the eye, that it attracts the type of person you want to work with. Do the links work properly, and the photos blend with the colors and layout? Is the font style easy to read and professional? Again, check the spelling, grammar and punctuation.
If you use a networking profile page, or site such as “My Space,” “Face Book,” “Ryze,” or “Linked In,” be sure all of the above applies there too.
Carefully choose your words, photos, books, music and your friends you link to.
Your image will be determined by the people you know and network with, so choose carefully!
When you create information packets, flyers, email letters, anything you present to your potential business partners, make sure they look professional! No ink smudges. Use colors, text and photos that reflect the image you want to project. Use what is in place and is proven to work. Don’t try to re-invent the wheel. It’s already been done.
When you feel experienced in what works, if you decide to create something of your own, get approval from your company, input from your upline leader, and test only 10% of your effort with the “new thing” and keep 90% of your effort using what’s proven.
Time spent on a bad campaign can derail your momentum and progress. Remember the 90-10 percent rule!
Think of the image you present on your outgoing voice mail message. Be sure it sounds friendly and professional. It should state who you are, and that your caller is important to you.
Do not have children on your outgoing message for your business. If you want your children to be on an outgoing message for family and friends, then use a separate line for business calls. If your budget hasn’t grown to support two phone lines, choose to be professional and delay having children on your message until you can afford two lines.
Mind your manners and choose your attitude. For instance, your business phone rings and the caller may be business related. Your kids are screaming or crying, the dog is barking, music or television is blaring, or you’ve had a bad day, are tired, or not feeling well, let the caller go to voice mail.
Do what you need to do to adjust your attitude and then call them back. If you practice choosing your thoughts, your attitude, and positive outlook it will become more positive, more often.
Practice positive self-talk and positive thoughts. When you have negative thoughts and feelings, acknowledge them and then choose to replace them with positive ones.
Appreciate your challenges and obstacles. They present an opportunity for growth.
When you leave your home to go to work, run errands, or anything else, and you want to be “open for business”, be at your best. This doesn’t mean driving a fancy car, wearing designer clothes, but your car and clothing should be clean and pressed, not stained, frayed and wrinkled. Is your breath is fresh? Your hair styled?
You can be wearing blue jeans and still look attractive and professional, but it means dressing on purpose. Invest in your company’s line of wearing apparel if they have one and let your image present your business to those you meet.
You can meet a good majority of your prospects when you are going through your day-to-day life: At the video store, the supermarket. the car wash, at a party, having dinner with friends.
Be positive, friendly, and the kind of person that people like to be around. Practice good manners and treat others with courtesy.
Every time you leave the house, you create an image for yourself. Is the image you project one that would attract people to work in your business?
The next part of image is in your company and with your team. Here we’re talking about conference calls and company events.
When you’re on a conference call and the host has not arrived or people are introducing themselves, be professional. Share your first and last name, your state you live in, be upbeat and sound alive. Then mute your line to eliminate feedback and noise as others introduce them selves.
Avoid positive or negative chatting. Let the host guide the direction of the call.
At a live meeting, training, or event, be aware of your image. How are you dressed? How do you smell? Be professional, friendly, and courteous with everyone.
Your prospects may be there, even other peoples prospects, so present your best image. They’ll be there to do the same for you.
You share the dream in your business.
You share it with prospects, and, you share it by example with our team. The image you project determines whether a prospect joins our team, or another’s team.
The image you have with your team will dramatically affect how far you can go and how fast you get there. Is your image that of a leader? Do you project trust or create doubt? Do you sound and look like a professional?
You get to choose the image you present! How’s yours?
