Your motive powers your network marketing locomotive.

Guest post by: Andy Acciaioli

Article Overview: What is the driving force behind your being in the network marketing business? Is making money your motive or is it helping others on your team succeed?

Your motive powers your network marketing locomotive.

Stop and think: what motivates you to be involved in network marketing?

The most common reason is to be able to enjoy life and have the lifestyle which a traditional job will not provide for you and your family. Of course we fully believe that the network marketing company we are with is the perfect vehicle to get us there or we would not be investing our time and effort into building our team.

While our goals may be having more time to enjoy life, a bigger house or a dream car, what will be our motive to propel us to achieving these?

I feel strongly that a sustainable motive has to be more than making money. Do not get me wrong, we all need and want more money but as a motive to power our network marketing locomotive, I do not see it as a sustaining force in building your business.

Any successful network marketing business is a team effort. I am sure that you are building your team on a foundation of caring for those who have been recruited into your group regardless of their (level) distance from you. If your motive is to fuel the success of those sponsored below you, how can you not reap substantial rewards?

In an article I wrote a while back, I spoke of someone I had personally sponsored who was getting ready to do his first large, hotel group meeting. I asked him if he was nervous. He said, “No. The way I look at it is as though each prospect attending the meeting has a hundred dollar bill slapped on their forehead and all I have to do is grab as many of those hundred dollar bills as I can.”

You can see with that kind of motive his business presentation was extremely forced and insincere. This made it very difficult for me to revitalize the group with my closing comments. (P.S. Over the weeks that followed, in spite of my encouraging him to change his reason for doing the business to one of caring for his team members, he did not. To say the least, he did not collect many hundred dollar bills before leaving the group shortly thereafter.)

How fast do you want your business to grow? That depends on how big your motive is to successfully grow your downline. If your success motivation for each of your team members is the size of “Montana” expect rapid, exponential growth. On the other hand, if your success motivation for each of your team members is the size of “Rhode Island” (hey, hey, hey…that’s where I am from), you can expect a slower growth.

In brief: help your team members get what they want and they will help you get what you want.

Re: Network Marketing Business - Hi Salvador, I am William from Germany.About network marketing business,My friends are also interested in this type of business and A lot of people interested in a network marketing business who call me ask what are the advantages of network marketing and opening up their own store.

Key Components - Two key components for success in network marketing are passion and leadership. As others have said, you have to believe in, or be passionate about, what you are selling. But, just as important, is the development of leadership skills. People want to work with a leader -- someone who can show them the way. So you must take the time to study and become a leader if you want to meet with real success in the network marketing industry.
Re: Analyze the market and competitors - I would even submit to you, that extracting from traditional means of advertising and marketing may work for you. Try spending some money on attending industry exhibits and workshops. Go to these events and make sure you network, network, network! Your future isn't necessarily tied up in the web marketability of your business - it's in the general perception others have of your business. Security consulting is heavily vested on respect and reputation. You need to garner that initial respect through meaningful networks and relationships.
