Do you sell or educate for better profits in this special network marketing home business?
I always enjoy speaking with home-based business opportunity seekers. They have so many good questions that require proper, hype-free answers. I can relate to my first efforts in starting a home business by following a program without a proper overview of how this special home business worked. I followed with “blind faith” that the master marketer would inspire more and more “followers.”
Unfortunately, this home business model based on network marketing concepts doesn’t work that way. Its residual matrix model is based on duplication of a simple business plan. It is not about leaders creating more leaders. It is about regular people with hopes for a better lifestyle communicating with other regular people.
So my main answers are to make sure new people understand the foundational principles of network marketing. This will ensure that common mistakes can be avoided, and unnecessary costs eliminated and time saved. After all, customers buying important products for personal use are the basis of long –term commissions.
One of the most common questions is related to selling. Do I have to sell anything? I have no experience. I don’t like sales. After all, customers buying important products for personal use are the basis of long-term commissions.
These concerns and fears are absolutely relevant. How about you? Do you feel that you are unable to sell, or may even see selling as negative. Perhaps you may have had a past experience where you have been pushed into buying something you didn't want, or felt hassled by a salesperson.
The process of selling is an exchange of information between two people talking…one is looking for a solution to a problem..the other is providing some answers.
Both ways, they are selling each other whether about the problem or the solution. At the end, one person will “sell” the other.."my problems are too great" or "your solution seems the right first step to take." Our consumer society shows we are always willing to exchange money to buy if we find what we want.
The fact is that there are both very good and very bad sales people! Bad sales people are only interested in what they will personally get out of the sale and will use every tactic to close the deal for their own gain.
A good sales person will not sell something to anyone unless they truly believe that they will benefit from it. They will ensure all important questions are answered and if someone is still not interested, then they will stop pushing. The good sales person will also go to any length to ensure that all customers are completely satisfied with their purchase.
But here is the $64,000 question:
Do networkers SELL a product or EDUCATE a better financial future?
Is network marketing all about really selling a product that can be bought in a local retail outlet, or does it offer the unique advantage of presenting an improved lifestyle opportunity? What other options are there?
You don’t need to “sell” a better, more financially free future...most people would be interested in "buying" and upgrading their status quo. However, first, you must educate about the key concepts to get you there.
So, on one hand, you have particular products..as the means by which to make residual income…Note that most network marketing companies produce cutting-edge research and development products. Do your due diligence here to understand the value and benefits.
On the other hand, you have an opportunity, a decision to make to start a home business of this type that can change your life and your finances forever. You have a situation where you can identify ways in which your business can help other people to achieve life long ambitions.
It’s simple to say “no’ to a product..a bottle..a box in a competitive marketplace, but you have to think more responsibly about saying “no” to a home business opportunity that can build independence for you and your family.
Ultimately, the best way to make any decision is to educate first. Get your facts. Get your overview.
Start to change your belief system...
Understand the four key words to home business success is "I can do this."
Get educated and enlightened about how the greatest, simplest, low-cost, high-potential earnings home business functions...
Now go out and check the products and see if you are willing to “buy”.
In conclusion, this home business model is unique that allows every person the right to have a profitable home business. Get smart and help others get smart. Get wealthy and others will knock on your door.
Does this mean I have to be a teacher now rather than a salesperson?
Goodness, no! Use professional teaching tools to tell the story for you.

Four Words Every Home Business Owner Must Say...Part One
FOUR WORDS every Home Business Owner must say…PART ONE
I CAN DO IT (ICDI)
I just had to share these words by Stephen Pierce.
(Stephen Pierce International Inc.)
They help to explain the purpose of keeping it simple ranging from
walking to planning a successful home business.
"True leadership is the ability to take something
complex and simplify it.
If I told you to run east to see the sunset would
you be successful? Sure you would, if you were facing east.
Would you need to go to a seminar and hear the right speaker
before you could run east successfully?
Would you need specially designed sneakers?
Would Gatorade need to make a special drink for people
running east before you could be successful?
Of course not. You just need to be in the right
place...facing east. Then you'll see the sunset.
It's the same way with making more money online.
You don't need to buy the priciest product or hear the best speakers
before you can take your next step.
Look, I could give you all the resources in the world and all the latest strategies.
But there's one thing that will never change: the human factor.
It's impossible to change your business and start moving forward without
first focusing on you and your mindset and perspective. The possibilities
you see for yourself will depend on what you’re thinking..
When your car's gas tank is low, you go fill it up with gas, right?
You need to do the same for you, too. Here is the G.A.S you need:
G - Gratitude is an attitude. Begin each day by
thinking about something you are grateful for,
even if your finances are lousy or your family
life is under severe strain. There's something
you can be grateful for.
A - Affirm who you are. Don't dwell on what you
think you "can't" do or how you've failed in the
past. Focus on what you "can" do. Use
constructive language, instead of destructive.
S - Strategies, systems and support. All three of
those go together. " (end of Stephen's quote)
Especially if you’re contemplating a home based business
in our network marketing industry.
Use professional information tools to tell the story for you.
Use the simple slide presentation to be the expert on how
to leverage Time and Knowledge and earn multiple commissions.
Read the keep-it-simple 1 – 2 – 3 Step Marketing Plan to show the big picture
and excellent value in products, management, trends and timing.
Call me to help with questions or comments.
Remember, keep it simple, face the right direction, use your own G.A.S,
and reach the sunset of your dreams.
I CAN DO IT!

P. S. Warriors through the ages understood the
importance of the right terrain in winning
battles. It gives you a huge strategic advantage.
If you pick the wrong place as a marketer you'll
burn through all your resources. Today is the day
you pick the right place.
