100+ Ways To Be An Extraordinary Networker

And that is how most of us stay. Ordinary. Average. Mediocre. Active yet ineffective. Moving… but not toward our dreams.

Being ordinary is a bad plan. Pursuing the path of least resistance means high-grade mediocrity and close-but-not-quite-there results.

Mediocrity is an effecting (and frustrating) villain. It is neither crashing defeat nor breathtaking failure. But a slow, soul-sucking poison. A silent assassin.

One minute you’re standing on top of the world. The next you’re at the bottom of the heap, scratching your head and wondering what happened. You’ve completely lost your mojo. And you’re not even sure how you got to this awful place called mediocrity. And more than anything else, you want your mojo back. You want that confidence, that feeling of control, that ability to perform at high levels.

You want to do more, be more.

There is a word for that. A word to describe something that transcends mediocrity. A word that communicates “more than average.”

Extra-ordinary.

Not ordinary. Something extra.

But how does extraordinary happen?

Extraordinary starts with you—perhaps an ordinary person at an ordinary job doing ordinary things on an ordinary day. No special advantages. No remarkable skills that can’t be duplicated. No large bank account. Just all-around “ordinary.”

Then, you decide to do something extra. To be something extra. Something a lot-a-bit extra. And not just one time. But day after day after day.

And then one day, everyone watching you will notice that “ordinary” is no longer an accurate description for the person you have become. For what you have done. And they will shake their heads and remark that what they have seen is extraordinary. Because it was. And because you will be.

And that’s how extraordinary happens.

By not being satisfied with ordinary. By being vigilant. Being obsessed. No excuses. Just a relentless focus on being better.

It’s deciding to go the extra mile when the last mile was hard enough. It’s controlling your mind in spite of the obstacles ahead.

It comes down to this really simple thought: If you don’t make time to pursue being extraordinary, then you’ll never experience true greatness. All you’ll ever know is mediocrity.

You’re already making time to be average and ordinary.

Tips For Successful Mobile Marketing

Mobile marketing is one great way to target a whole new group of people to market your product. It is a fact that just roughly everybody owns some sort of mobile device today. As business owners, there is the need for you to diversify your target market. And that includes mobile users. Sure, though these users have wants and needs and would want an easy way to grab those in just one click.

However, before delving into mobile marketing efforts, you must know the basic tips to make it work for your business.

You need to comprehend what your consumer wants in order to market them through mobile formats.
Mobile marketing is not the notion of “saying more with less” when it proceeds to your promotional content.You cannot have dull product and landing pages here that go on and on, since it’s not saying anything helpful. Mobile marketing progress can best be achieved when you provide your content clean and clear.
Wait for results for your first mobile marketing campaign before beginning a second one.
Try out as many mobile devices as possible and ask your customers for feedback about their usage experiences.
When you call or text someone, remember that they are “people” and deserve to be treated well.
If you aspire to be successful in your mobile marketing, you must adapt changes gradually. Always be up for even a little tweak in your programs but remember to study and know it well.
Though mobile marketing has been proven to be an effective way to connect with your customers, there is still a necessity for it to be capable of working on multiple platforms. Note that if your marketing efforts don’t work on all the popular devices, you could lose customers.
Before applying mobile marketing, techniques do some research if your target audience can appreciate it. Know what your target audience responds to before you spend lots of money on mobile marketing. Are they more likely to use a mobile phone than desktops? What is the main type of operating systems do their phones?
Make sure your content is timely and purposeful. The idea of adding mobile marketing to your marketing strategies might excite you, but you must create content that fills the need to. The information and products content that you put out needs to speak to your potential customers’ problems. If it is appropriate, they will contact you.
As more and more people own mobile devices, the demand for mobile marketing will increase. Pretty soon most people will have a mobile phone, making mobile marketing a highly profitable way to promote products and services.

By using the these points, you will be ahead of your competition and will be in the right place to effectively improve your products through this new form of marketing. Just another reminder, your business shouldn’t be based solely on mobile marketing this is just one way to promote and gain more audience. But as proven right, mobile marketing is one best way to market in this current phase. Happy marketing!

The Network Marketing High Income Formula

Want to be a mega-earner in network marketing? You’ll need these three qualities: Leadership, Innovation, and Commitment.

Network Marketing rewards its leaders handsomely. The leaders are the ones who are willing to hold conference calls, offer their homes for meetings, or become corporate trainers. Leaders help and teach others how to be successful (regardless if they are downline, crossline, or in another opportunity).

Leaders will always have a home in this industry, because every single company CEO, and every top producer, wants a leader in their organization.

Network Marketing rewards innovators handsomely. I remember when Dale Maloney (a leader in this industry for over 20 years) scared up a few dollars to buy a mailing list, some stamps, envelopes, and paper to send out some sales letters to recruit others into his opportunity.

I remember the first national ads in the newspaper USA Today, the first toll-free recorded information lines, mailing audio tapes (even before Dead Doctors Don’t Lie), email marketing, and flash presentation lead capture websites. The innovators who used these marketing breakthroughs made small fortunes.

The next innovation is just waiting to be brought to the market. History has shown that if you are innovative, you will be richly rewarded.

Network Marketing rewards commitment handsomely. If you plan on giving up after hearing no a couple of times, or if you feel you’re done recruiting after you get your first couple of people in (like the average person), then quit now. The average person in this industry does not make money — they lose money. Why? They are not committed to being successful. They are not willing to do whatever it takes. And being committed to doing whatever it takes is what is necessary to be successful in this industry.

There is no such thing as “Fast Money” in network marketing. Have you heard any of these? “No cold calling.” “No selling.” “Work a couple hours a week..” “Retire in two to three years.” All Lies!

Lifetime residual income is not built over a few months. It takes years to build a retirement income. Hard work. Polished selling skills. Consistency. Persistence. You must be committed to these basic values to achieve success.

So pick your poison, or embrace all three. The qualities of leadership, innovation, and commitment are paramount to your success in network marketing and life.

MLM for Beginners – The Four Personality Types You Have To Know For Sure

Whether you are using online MLM strategies, or you are building your MLM business completely offline, the most important part of your business is people. It is not enough to just be aware of the four personality types, but to understand them fully.

Many people think because they use online MLM marketing strategies that they do not have to talk to people. However, understanding the four personality types is vital to your success, because after you generate targeted leads, you still need to communicate with them.

I have read many books and studied many courses on the subject of the four personality types, but the simplest explanation of how it is applicable to network marketing can be found in Jerry Clark’s course, The Magic of Colors . I will base this article off of that audio collection.

The Magic of Colors describes the four personality types using colors. I have also heard some network marketing training that teaches this concept using animals that relate to the personalities. For visual purposes, I will use colored sea animals.

You have the Red Sharks, Blue Dolphins, Yellow Whales, and the Green Urchins.

We all have a little bit of each the four personality types in us, but one is our dominant way of being. When you hear these descriptions, you may say something like “That sounds like me, except for that part.”

This is normal because it is rare that a person fits a description completely, but one of the four personality types will describe you more accurately than the others. That color is your dominant personality. The second closest match is your secondary color.

You might have such an even mix that you may be confused as to which is your dominant color, and which is your secondary. On the other hand, some people are so extreme that you know their personality type beyond a shadow of a doubt.

A Brief Description of the Four Personality Types

1. Red Sharks- These people are direct with their communication and closed about their relationships. A general description of a Red Shark can be summed up as money-motivated. Some of their natural strengths are self-confidence, ambition, and leadership potential. Some natural weaknesses are impatience, arrogance, and rudeness.

2. Blue Dolphins- These people are direct with their communication, and they are open with their relationships. One word to describe a Blue Dolphin is fun. They are motivated by having a good time. Some of their natural strengths include being outgoing, motivation skills, and the ability to tell a good story. Some natural weakness include being unorganized, unreliable, and whimsical.

3. Yellow Whales- Yellow Whales are generally indirect with their communication, and open with their relationships. They can be characterized by their desire to help others. Some of their natural strengths are being dependable, patient, and good listeners. Some natural weaknesses are lack of assertiveness, being easily taken advantage of by others, and lack of self confidence.

4. Green Urchins- Green Urchins are indirect, and closed. They have a strong need to know, and to be right. One word used to describe Green Urchins is factual. Some of their natural strengths are being very organized, great planning skills, and usually being very neat and detail oriented. Some natural weaknesses are procrastination, being critical of others, and struggling with depression and insecurity.

It is worth the time it takes to learn and understand the four personality types, because it will lead to more harmonious relationships and better productivity in both your personal and business life.

Invite Network Marketing Prospects…..This = How we do it……………..

The greatest presentation in the world is to no avail if you are not able to get a prospecting/recruitment appointment. Unfortunately, the least taught skill in network marketing or MLM is the ability to set up a prospecting or recruiting appointment.

When you cannot get someone to listen to your presentation, your chances for success in your home-based business are not good.

All it takes is a little proper training and practice. You can power recruit just like the pros, then watch your income soar.

There is an easy and a hard way to go about this. If you are like me, you want the easiest way and one that works.

You can get most people to attend a network business meeting, listen in on a conference call or meet in person with this approach. All you need is a little practice, experience and knowledge of the magic words.

First, start every day by inviting someone to something. Then be brief, be casual, be specific and be enthusiastic!

If someone says no, ask for a referral and move on to someone else. Since people do change their minds, put the prospect in your tickler file and call back in a couple of months.

Here are the magical, proven words necessary to get a YES to your invite:

1. I know you are planning to purchase ______. This week the featured speaker at my (business breakfast, business meeting) is an expert on the subject. Can you come with me to hear the speaker? It may help you make the right buying decision.

2. I know you have been looking for information and options to help you solve (or find) ______. I am going to a business meeting tonight with someone who might be able to help you with that. Are you interested in joining me?

3. My evening business meetings often make me think about you. You would enjoy meeting and knowing several of our members and learning about their skills. If you join me for the meeting this week, I will introduce you!

4. I am looking for a guest to take to my business breakfast (or business dinner meeting or noon business luncheon). It is less than two hours; there will be two interesting presentations, and a whole room full of business associates for you to network. Can you join me?

5. I am having lunch (breakfast, dinner) with a group of people who helped me grow my business by more than ______ percent last year. I will bet you could benefit by meeting some of them. Are you available on _______?

6. I know you are a people person that enjoys meeting and networking with people. Would you like to join me and meet a room full of new business contacts? It will be an interesting meeting and a bunch of great professionals will be there. When should I pick you up?

The most important thing you can do is invite successfully. The second is to teach inviting to your downline. Pick one or two of these magical invites out and master them.

You can have a horrible presentation and still succeed in network marketing when you can invite successfully. You can always get your upline to do the presentation when you are not that good at it.

It does no good to give out information packages if no one listens to your CD or reads your materials. It is truly discouraging if no one listens in to your conference calls or attends your meetings either.

The key, therefore, is learning to invite successfully. That is the message. Learn to invite and teach your new recruits the same techniques. These techniques work. However, only you can make them work for you.

CHANGE YOUR NETWORKING LIFE AS ONLINE MARKETEER

Don’t get stuck in the same old average routine. Here’s how to start the domino effect of change.

Hope is the foundational principle for all change. People change because they have hope, and if people do not have hope, they will not change. You are responsible for the changes that you make in your life

The good news? You can change your life if you really want to. You can improve it, make it better. And it all starts with changing the way you think. So are you ready? I am going to walk you through a six-step plan for achieving positive change in your NETWORKING LIFE.

Step 1: When you change your thinking, you change your beliefs.

Change begins with the mind. Beliefs are nothing more than a byproduct of what you have thought about long enough, something that you have bought into—always remember that. What you believe, what you think, is just a collection of continual thoughts that have formed themselves into a conviction. When you break down the process of thinking into a manageable number of steps, you reduce the perceived risk associated with change.

Step 2: When you change your beliefs, you change your expectations.

Belief is the knowledge that we can do something. It is the inner feeling that what we undertake, we can accomplish. For the most part, all of us have the ability to look at something and know whether we can do it. So in belief there is power… our eyes are opened, our opportunities become plain, our visions become realities. Our beliefs control everything we do. If we believe we can or we believe we cannot, we are correct.

Step 3: When you change your expectations, you change your attitude.

Your expectations are going to determine your attitude. Most people get used to average; they get used to second best. Nelson Boswell said, “The first and most important step toward success is the expectation that we can succeed.”

Step 4: When you change your attitude, you change your behavior.

When our attitude begins to change, when we become involved with something, our behavior begins to change. The reason that we have to make personal changes is that we cannot take our people on a trip that we have not made.

Step 5: When you change your behavior, you change your performance.

Most people would rather live with old problems than new solutions.

We would rather be comfortable than correct; we would rather stay in a routine than make changes. Even when we know that the changes are going to be better for us, we often don’t make them because we feel uncomfortable or awkward about making that kind of a change. Until we get courage and get used to living with something that is not comfortable, we cannot get any better.

Step 6: When you change your performance, you change your life.

It is easier to turn failure into success than an excuse into a possibility. A person can fail, turn around and understand their failure to make it a success

. But I want to tell you, a person who makes excuses for everything will never truly succeed. Don’t you know some people who just have an excuse for everything? Why they could not, should not, did not, would not, have not, will not. I promise you, when you excuse what you are doing and excuse where you are, and you allow the exceptions, you fail to reach your potential. It is impossible to turn excuses into possibilities.

5 Network Marketing Tips To Success

Today’s economy requires every business to be up and running with the network marketing model. You need to have a robust marketing strategy for your business to achieve operational excellence. So why do you need to know more about network marketing? What are the benefits that come with it? And why should you venture into it? Well, this article will give all the answers to these questions.

Establish and Grow your Assets

There is making money and earning money in the business world. You need to determine which side you are on. You might be in a job where you are working for someone else’s business which is practically helping him or her to grow. One thing you don’t know is that you are helping your employer build his or her fortune. The precious time you spend here can instead be used to create your assets and the financial freedom you are looking for.

Be your own boss

Entrepreneurship is perhaps one of the best businesses to venture into if you are looking for financial freedom. It comes with many benefits such as flexible working hours and more income from the opportunities for the business to grow. As long as you work by the rules of network marketing, you can be rest assured to be in a better place regarding living standards and financial independence.

Harness the power of the Internet

The World Wide Web is home to almost everything nowadays. With the introduction of Internet of Everything (IoT), more businesses are looking to deploy their services and operations online. You will enjoy a vastness of benefits that come from the many readily available customers that you can get from social media platforms. By the click of a button or a link, your business can go viral and at the same time pass valuable information to the thousands of people in online communities.

Keep a positive environment around you

One way that you can use to achieve success is to ensure that the people around you are people that you can trust and can help you go far in life. The thing about network marketing is that it brings people with similar goals together. You can share your ideas with people in the same boat as you.

Jump over to the Information Age

Forget about the regular 9-5 jobs and the old “graduate, get a job and retire” kind of living. You should rather think beyond the typical business models. There are many opportunities out there in the network marketing business models that require only one breakthrough in success, and you get to enjoy financial freedom for many years. You should explore your options and decide for yourself if you want to be working for other people for the next 50 years or embark on a new journey with the information age to a world of richness, flexibility, freedom and success.

Dynamics of the MLM Business

Multi-level marketing as a concept has now been in existence for more than a century. The manufacturers all over the word benefit from the technique which was initially introduced in the USA by the sellers of Nutrilite. Although, they were not the only ones experimenting with the commission to referring buyers i.e. a share from the profit to buyers who pursue others to buy the company’s product. This is very much the model in which MLM began with many restaurants adopting the model simultaneously across North America to lure in more patrons for their eateries. With time, a lot of evolution has indeed happened for the MLM industry which has made the businesses of giants like Avon Products, Amway and Herbalife household names across all continents. Over the last few years MLM management systems which are web and mobile based have become a favourite for multi-level marketers as they add efficiency in a lot of processes through automation.

The evolution of business has seen initial phases when perfumes were sold door to door by the pioneers of MLM. The business in 2016 runs pretty much off the internet with doorstep deliveries of products and shipments tracked via mobile apps! The MLM business like any other phenomenon of the modern world has a lot of dynamism to it and has undergone multiple transformations to be in the trend that we see it today in the ‘internet era’. E-commerce marketplaces have provisions to list the products and sales can be made directly from there by letting the marketplace accept payments on the sellers’ behalf. These payments are accepted over encrypted payment gateways to keep the transactions secure and ensure no theft by online fraudsters. This is a good way of enhancing product sales to improve commissions but another boon of the internet is the abundant opportunity it provides to network over the social media channels. The social media networks are perhaps the best thing that could’ve happened for MLM business besides the MLM Software.

A web-based MLM system is a one-stop solution to dozens of problems which multi-level marketers face in their day to day operations. The problems may include poor inventory management, disarranged franchising, irregularities in income distribution, network management, etc. These problems are noticed at the very core of the business and over the years have sent a lot of MLM Businesses out of the door. MLM software assists the businesses in overcoming these problems besides adding contemporary features like E-commerce store, E-wallet, online payments and SMS and E-mail notifications. What really makes the MLM software a necessity is the fact that with good MLM manager software a business can be managed from any device like the tablet or even the smartphone. This gives multi-level marketers the freedom to be on the move while managing their business and meeting network associates. The software provides mobility and flexibility which can be perhaps the two biggest contributors in the success of modern MLM distributors looking to create a fortune.

Achieve Success In Network Marketing ………….THE IDEAS….

When it comes to success in network marketing, there are many avenues of drawing prospects to you. However, the consistency that is needed to keep your audience and attract more people is what many find challenging.

Once you understand the concept of success in network marketing and the power of MLM attraction marketing, the fact is that you will undoubtedly revolutionize your business. All you need is a shift on how MLM marketing is conducted and you will no longer have to deal with family rejection or friends that tend to form the warm market. A lot of marketers begin on a very high note but somewhere along the way they give up since prospecting can be very heartbreaking.

Identify your target market through SEO by paying attention to social media, blogging, and article marketing to generate leads and register success in network marketing. Your content must at all times create value. How should your audience benefit from what you deliver? Is your content worth and how does it help your audience solve their problems? That way, people will identify with you and instead of you going to them they will come to you.

The reason you need to blog and send out articles is to make it easy for struggling marketers to find you. Once they find your content, your focus must always be based on ‘solution’. For you to rock the market with your marketing strategies, there are a few steps you need to follow.

First, understand that the backbone of success in network marketing is leads. After getting leads and opt-ins, a script that guides you in your leads is essential. Here, it is about building relationships. It means you should also call your prospects and ask relevant questions. Ask them how they are marketing online, the struggles they have faced then, if necessary, offer them appropriate solutions. The point here is to have effective communication that will, in the long run, convert the leads to business partners.

Secondly, once you get the leads as business partners, you need to train and retain the converted leads. You can host webinars and follow their progress with calls and video messages. This calls for a lot of creativity and time. You can also offer eBooks, reports, training tools, products, communicate via automated online means, get leadership skills, and so forth. For you to attain success in network marketing, you must not focus on a single business opportunity or offer. With attraction marketing, you should be in a position to create multiple streams focusing on generating leads and offering value.
