Belief. Not that big a word, but without it you cannot possibly succeed in network marketing (NWM). Hard to belief that one little word could be the make it or break it for all your dreams and hopes. Yet that is how big it is because folks see NWM as a quick way out of the financial situation they are presently in. Think of the hype. See the BIG money earners parade across the stage. Look at their lifestyle, cars, homes & boats. Talk to them and you say, “Hey, these are regular people, I can do this business too.” It is not going to happen that easy. Otherwise, everybody would do it. You are going to have to build your belief level first and that might take some time.
The first thing you want to build is a belief in the industry, both the network marketing industry and the industry your company distributes products or services in. NWM. You are going to have to go to local meetings (make one if there isn’t one). Ur going to have to quiz the leaders in your company. U want to read some books, search the Internet & listen to some CDs. Totally immerse yourself in the culture of NWM through The Law of Attraction and amazing results will happen to your business. Rub shoulders with those doing well in the industry some of their chutzpah will rub off on you.
Whatever industry your company is in, whether it be health & wellness, travel, financial services, cosmetics, telecommunications or a plethora of others take time to learn the industry. You don’t need to learn it inside out, but you do want to have a working knowledge that allows you to converse intelligently on different aspects of the industry. For instance, I’m in telecommunications and I would look quite awkward if someone asked me about a video phone and I had no idea what they were talking about. Know your products & services. That will be the first step in raising your belief level. Next you want to try the p&s and to use them on a regular basis even to the exclusion of similar p&s. This will heighten your belief to the level needed to convince potential customers of it’s merits.
The second thing at play in building your belief is your Support Team. Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM) this is so, so, so true. What does your Support Team look like starting with the company you are building your business underneath. Does the company have conference calls you can plug prospects and newbies into? Does it have a professional website? Is there a strong back office which you can reference and learn form? Are there multiple AGMs to help build your biz? Are there CDs, DVDs, magazines and other piquing tools? Are there replicate sites for yourself to promote your efforts? And what about your sponsor and those in the upline above her. If they are just super salespeople who get you in the business and help you long enough to trigger their bonuses, then that is of no benefit to you. However, if they are someone who offers ongoing training, 3-way calls and lends an ear when you are at the bottom end of the emotional roller coaster. That is the support that will increase your belief level. Crossline support within the same company is an added bonus to increase believe level I know because in my marketplace I have tremendous support from crossline groups who organize business building events for all to benefit.
Finally, the third thing at play in building belief is yourself. Network Marketing is a Personal Growth Development Program with a compensation plan attached. You earn as you learn. And boy do you learn about yourself. Read books and articles by John C. Maxwell, Brian Tracey, Napoleon Hill, Mark Yarnell & others. Go to seminars by the same (at least the ones who are still alive). Listen to their CDs. Watch their DVDs. Go visit their websites. Watch yourself and your belief in yourself grow. Once you have that swagger coming from within you there is no stopping you. Belief builds self-confidence and self-esteem. Your belief level will only be as big as your personal growth.
Now it is your turn. Go out and build your Belief Level. GO GET IT!!! I’ll see you at the top.
