The Truth to Building Your Network Marketing Business with Social Networking Skills

Building your network marketing business requires using your social networking skills.A lot of sincere, earnest people get into network marketing with the plan of learning everything they possibly can about their company's products or service. Some of them actually become an expert. Unfortunately, that is a total waste of time. It may sound logical. But you cannot build a MLM business by selling product... because you are not a salesperson. If you have to convince people to buy your product, then you are dead before you start. Even worse, you won't be able to train anyone else to sell a product. Selling isn't duplicatable.

Better to spend your time becoming expert on people, because in network marketing, people are your REAL product. Your real goal is to help people achieve their dreams in life. To do that, you must get to understand them. You must build trust with them.Build the relationship. That is job #1. So what you really need to get good at is relationship-building skills. You need to become a very good listener, so you understand exactly what the people you talk to want. Focus on helping them get it. To achieve their goals, they will buy your products ... if YOU have built that relationship with them.

A lot of people start in network marketing with the idea that they want to get in position to make a lot of money. They hear stories of people earning 7 figures a month. And it certainly has happened. But it's important to understand the numbers. A few years ago, a report was published about the accountant statements of 7 well-known, publicly-traded MLM companies. The report revealed that compensation plan payout to reps ranged from a low of 25% of gross income to a high of about 42% of gross income. Think about this. You'll always have just a portion of profits to the distributor base.

Let's be generous and call it 40%. If you have a heavy hitter at that company making $1 million a month, what does that mean? Well, for their work. The truth is, the LESS that heavy hitter is paid, the MORE that the part-timers get paid. That adds up to about 95% of network marketers, and they are the ones who have the dream. A lot of prospects think it's wonderful when they see that one person get a huge paycheck. However, it may mean you actually have LESS chance to earn a good check.
