Pre-Requisites for NetWork Marketing--Do you have what it takes??


Do you have what it takes to be a Professional Network Marketer??


Before learning the "skills" of the trade, let's review some pre-requisite qualities that will help you determine if Network Marketing is the Right Choice for YOU.


Committment

Honesty

Respect

Courage

Integrity

Accountability

Ethics


"Good Words" for sure, but can YOU live by them?


Committment - Network marketing is not a "Get Rich Quick" scheme. Yes, some people experience relatively faster results than others, but that is not the average result. Are you willing to take the time needed to learn the skills you need?


Honesty - What is your motive? Will you say "anything" to get the sale? Are you willing to only engage in transactions that benefit all parties involved?


Respect -Will you respect yourself enough to not chase any "warm body" and "pitch" your deal? Will you show others Respect, taking time to learn what THEIR needs are before offering your product/service/opportunity as the solution?


Courage - Working a business outside of the parameters "of punching a clock at a J.O.B. " is often misunderstood by well-intentioned people. Are you willing to invest Your time now, for on-gpoing returns in the future? Are You willing to speak up and ask "HOW" and "WHY" a company chooses to do business?


Integrity - "Choose rightness over Ease & Convience." (Walk the Talk, SimpleTruths.com)

Again, Are you willing to only engage in transactions that benefit all parties involved? And have made a reasonable effort to ensure the other parties truly benefit? Are you willing to "work" to build your business, and spend the time to verify your information? Not just repeat what your up-line told you.


Accountability - Can you hold yourself accountable? You won't be "punching" the clock. Your results will reflex your actions taken. You must be able to find methods of holding yourself accountable for small, simple daily actions, this is the freedom and burden of being "self-employed."


Ethics - Do you have a strong foundation to guide you thru the challenges and temptations in this business?


I believe these "good words" are essential qualities, a foundation upon which you can build the skills You need to succeed in Network Marketing.


I would like to credit my inspiration for this topic to www.SimpleTruths.com

for their "Walk the Talk" movie. It was both thought provoking and inspiring.

The Power of Networking. . . Is in the People


This is INCREDIBLE ! The picture was taken in 1918.
It is 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge in Iowa.

What does this picture have to do with Network Marketing?
What is network marketing?





First. . . It is NOT "Getting Rich Quick" or "sitting alone in a room behind a computer."





NetWORKing does involve WORK--enjoyable work for those who like interacting with people, but work none-the-less.





Network marketing uses the combined effort of people to leverage and benefit all parties involved while providing a valuable product or service to those who "want" it.





As Art Jonak so frequently reminds, "it's getting a large group of people to do a few simple things consistently over time" that delivers the greatest impact.





This picture was a GREAT example of something that could only be accomplished as a Group-this could not have been achieved alone or even with a small circle of friends. It required a vast network of people in a coordinated effort to achieve this.





Ask Yourself: What will You and Your Team achieve in the near future?
