"It is not enough to be busy. The question is, what are we busy about?"
-Henry David Thereau
Often we can spend hours after hours after hours
with very little result in terms of business growth in network marketing. We have heard tens of
thousands of claims from struggling network marketers who claim they put tons
of hours and a boatload of money into their business, yet these same
networkers claim they have little or no downline. They claim they have made
no money. Plus they claim they are doing everything they are
taught.
As Henry David Thereau says, "It is not enough to be busy. The
question is, what are we busy about?" Are you keeping busy or are you taking
real action in: business growth in network marketing. The facts prove that most of us just keep
busy. You know, the paper push which includes answering emails non related to
prospects, reading articles, surfing the net for the "next best tool", and
the list goes on.
What truly will build your business growth
in network marketing is....... taking real business
ACTION! What is real business action? Real action is the action that puts you in front
of your prospect (i.e. prospecting phone calls, follow-up calls, etc). The
bottom line is that unless you are in front of your prospect, your prospect
can't buy from you. If your prospect can't buy from you, nothing is sold. If
nothing is sold, no money is made. This means your business growth in network
marketing will never grow
and you will always be broke hoping for your business to grow.
We can
hope and dream day in and day out. Yet unless you take business action (real
action), your hopes and dreams will never become a reality. So how do you
take the real action? The first step is to set minimum benchmarks (i.e. 2+ a
day strategy, power of 45, etc.). The next step is to track your progress
over the next 6 weeks. Track everything you do, meaning everything you spend
time on.
By tracking, you will learn the real truth - whether or not you are
keeping busy or taking real action. If you are not reaching your benchmarks,
it is critical you make changes in your schedule to make certain you are at
least achieving your minimum benchmarks (your minimum standard of
performance). If you are not achieving your benchmarks, you should be
fired!
The network
marketing tip of this week is:

If you are not achieving
your benchmarks, you should be
fired!
|
Yes, that is right - FIRED! You see, the minimum standards of
performance on benchmarks (i.e. 2+ a day strategy, power of 45, etc.) are
designed for the part time marketer. The benchmarks require 8 to 10 hours of
"action" time - time in front of your prospect. Anything less and you can
never expect your business to grow.
The reason your business growth
in network marketing will not
grow is that any actions less than the minimum standard will not allow you to
keep ahead of the attrition rates. This is why so many people never seem to
get their business into profit. If you personally sponsor above the threshold
of attrition, you will continue to have growth. To accomplish such a task you
must set and achieve your personal benchmarks as well as teach benchmarking
to your team.
So the big question we must ask, "Are you keeping busy or
are you taking real action?"
