KISS = Keep It Super Simple (and duplicatable)
If you have joined a network marketing company, you’ll probably have to undergo some training to “get started”. To save you time, effort and money, please allow me to give you a little advice – listen to your upline and do what they say. They are the ones who know what works and what doesn’t from personal experience. Learn from it.
If there are archived conference calls, then listen to and study them. I can almost assure you that if you listen to enough of them, they will all tell you the same way to build your company (if they don’t, I would be concerned).
I listened to a whole heap of conference calls before I really got started building my business with my chosen company – I’m glad that I did, because some of the ideas I had for getting leads and prospects had already been tried by my upline and proven not to be effective.
There are a couple of “checkpoints” that I now run any ideas through to see if they have worth…
- Has my idea been done before? – i.e. is there a proven track record of success for my idea? Please remember that being a pioneer could cost you a lot of time, money and energy – stick to what’s proven.
- Are there already training/marketing materials available for my idea? You really don’t want to be spending valuable relationship building time developing materials.
- Is my idea duplicatable? If you come up with a great idea that requires skills that only you have, you can easily discourage your prospects from signing up as they are thinking “I can’t do that”.
If my idea doesn’t pass these checkpoints, I go back to the basics – which is probably where I should have stayed in the first place!
Keep things super simple. If your company has a training website, then direct your new team members there – you do not have to write a comprehensive course for them. The simpler you keep things, the more duplicatable they become and the more time you have to work on your business rather than in it.
God bless.
