Want to know 13 ways to promote it that will help you generate results?

If any of this sounds like you, keep reading.

When I first got started in network marketing, I used to be the girl who thought I would never earn that trip. I never considered myself a “salesperson” and I just didn’t feel right doing the things that other people were doing in the industry.

So I decided to come up with a different approach. And now, I am going to break down for you the 13 ways I learned to hit my network marketing goals and achieve success. Some of this focuses on selling products in person. And other parts are digital marketing 101.

13 Network Marketing Success Secrets

1. Show the products in use – They say that people need to see an advertisement SEVEN times before they will take action. Alot of network marketers take this statement to mean they need to post sale-sy ads seven times in a row until SOMEBODY…..ANYBODY buys. But that’s not the right way to look at it. While they may need to see something seven times….you can show them the same thing seven times in seven different ways. One of these ways can be to show your products in use. You can do this with an in-person open house, a one on one consultation, or a Facebook Live video. Whichever way you choose – SHOW your customers how YOU use the product.
2. Tell Stories – Maybe you don’t have the cashflow yet to invest in ALL of the products. So, as a result, you simply can’t show them in use. That’s ok. You can tell stories about the product. One way to do this is to get stories from your customers, family, or friends. If you don’t know anyone who has used that particular product, ask someone in your network marketing company if you can use their story.
3. Use Customer Reviews – Does your company sell products online? If they do, there are more than likely reviews out there on the products! Check the product page on your network marketing company’s website and grab some customer reviews. And then share what the products did for the customer.
4. Always Collect Follow up information – When you talk about your company products or services to someone, are you collecting contact information? If not, you are missing probably the most valuable part of growing your business. You may feel uncomfortable asking someone for their contact info. But, what if they got something in return for providing their contact info. Maybe your company offers a discount for new customers or a sweepstakes they can enter to win. Use the tools already available through your company to help you collect contact information.
5. Start a subscription box program – A subscription box program can help generate a steady flow of funds into your business. To begin a subscription box program, you can assess how much money you have in your products and determine the amount of money your customers will pay you each month.
6. Start a fundraiser and give back to your community – You might decide to use your business as a way to give back to your community. And maybe other people may want to join you in your venture. You can collect money from people to help fund the cost of your products and then donate them to a local organization.

7. Do one on one consultations via messenger room – Facebook Messenger rooms have been a wonderful resource for me to provide one on one consults with my customers! I have provided consultations on skincare and makeup in a one-on-one setting. The best part is, the customer doesn’t have to be on Facebook to attend a Facebook Messenger Room Consultation. We have even hosted Facebook Messenger Room parties as a way to show our products. Get a sneak peak on how we held a virtual makeover party in messenger room.
8. Sign up for Vendor Events in your area (or online) but make the primary goal to collect contact information. Collecting contact information should be the primary objective in everything you do as a network marketer. This includes at vendor events as well! The best way to collect contact information at vendor events is to offer a giveaway where people can enter for the chance to win a product bundle. If your company offers a giveaway – you can use products from that giveaway for your display, and then enter them when they provide their info. You can make up entry forms to hand out.
9. Promote on Social Media – This is a great way to promote your network marketing business! But it should never be the ONLY way you promote your network marketing business. Many network marketers get into the habit of posting a flyer of a product on social media and then don’t know why they aren’t getting results. While posting on social media can be good, it is best when you use it in conjunction with all the other tips included here.
10. Make five new friends a day – In many companies, you will hear the five a day method taught. When I first started my network marketing business, I thought that meant that I had to pitch my product or opportunity to five people every day. It was so unnatural to me. So I adopted a new rule. Instead of actively prospecting five people every day, I was going to instead just work on making five new friends a day. Without expectation. That’s when the magic happened. Now instead of everyone feeling pressured to buy, I expanded my network. Then when people were interested in what I was doing, they came to ME – not the other way around. Not all of my new friends are customers and that is fine. Because now I have a bigger circle of friends!
11. Start an online business – I started building my online business almost immediately after joining my network marketing company. And boy am I glad I did. While you likely won’t see results from building an online business immediately (you’ll be lucky if you see it within 6 months), if you can make it a long-term goal, think of the momentum you can gain after a year when your online business really takes off. My online business is run primarily through my blog. Get my complete guide to starting a blog for your network marketing business.
12. Look at your customers’ past purchase history – When you reach out to your customers, why not give them personalized service? Hard truth, folks. Your customers can buy whatever you’re selling anywhere. Many big box stores sell comparable products to what you sell. But can that big box store contact them one-on-one to tell them about a product they think they will love? Use your customers’ past purchase history to look at what products they have purchased in the past. Think of products that they could add to their life that would compliment those products. Tell them when their favorite is on sale so they can stock up. Keep track of when they buy and remind them BEFORE they run out. This is what gives you an edge over the big-box store competition.
13. Break Down Your Goal and determine what products will sell best to help you meet that goal. When you get a goal and it feels huge, break it down into smaller numbers. A yearly goal of $23,000 may seem out of reach. But when you break that down to $920 every two weeks, or $65 a day, it feels more manageable. Once you know what you need, choose products from your company’s portfolio to help you reach that goal. Then set a challenge for yourself to sell a certain number of that product until you reach your goal.

When to Use these Network Marketing Success Secrets

Have you looked enviously at the top sellers in your network marketing company wondering how they earn every incentive trip? Want to know how they find their way to the top of the charts.

Unfortunately, many people who join network marketing are misled into thinking that all they have to do is post their company link on their social media pages and the sales will magically come in.

I hate to tell you, if it were that easy, everyone would be doing it! There is no legitimate get rich quick plan out there. And if someone is telling you they have a way for you to get rich quick, you should be very skeptical.

The top percentage in direct sales have found these network marketing success secrets (and probably even have a few of their own).

You may join and your leadership may tell you to make a list of 100 people and message them. While this works great in the short term to get you started, it isn’t the ONLY thing you need to to achieve network marketing success.

Setting Network Marketing Goals

The ultimate network marketing success secret of the top 1% is that they are always setting and achieving goals.

When you set your goals, start out big. One tip is to set three sales goals:

• an easy goal
• a moderate goal
• a hard goal

Then break your goals down. Figure out how much you will need to sell per month, per week, and then per day to achieve your goals. Then come up with the products that will help you achieve your goals.

Finally, develop a daily action plan that will help you meet them. Pencil your work day into your calendar and make that time a non-negotiable. The ultimate network marketing success secret is treating your business like a business. When you start treating your network marketing business like a business, it will start paying you like one.

How to Achieve Network Marketing Success

Achieving network marketing success takes effort, energy and persistence. It takes creativity and forces you to step outside of your comfort zone so you can stand out in the crowd.

If you look around the industry, those people who have achieved network marketing success probably have a few success secrets of their own.

And those network marketing success secrets are what make them successful.

When we join a network marketing company, we all hear the same formula to be successful. Make a list of 100 people and contact them. Or, worse, many uplines will encourage you to BUY your success.

That’s why it’s important for you to develop your own formula for network marketing success. To do that, you have to seek to be different. You have to look for ways to stand out in the crowd.

Find your own magic formula and figure out the best way to implement it.
