Time after time I hear about someone’s miracle drug or how you just have to get in on the ground level of this new business opportunity but what they are failing to realize is that most people aren’t just looking for the next new product or new opportunity that they know nothing about, but rather a system they are sure can be easily followed, alongside of someone whom they trust. How can this be achieved you might ask?
Let’s start right from the beginning. The world is sold on marketing not products. We see this proven very well in the fast food industry. Regardless of our own preferential tastes for food, we see that an average product marketed well can be very successful. This works just the same on the other side of the fence being that you can have a fantastic product, but if marketed poorly then you are unlikely to see your business become successful.
Now that we have established that your marketing will drive your home based business and not the product itself, we need to address what we will market. The important thing many people forget in network marketing is that the prospective business partner (PBP), if and when they join your opportunity, will be running a home based business too. What that means is that they will have to go through the start up process and start marketing their new opportunity. This can be rather daunting if they don’t know what they are doing.
2 points to ponder here.
Firstly if a PBP is only partially interested in the network marketing product then why would you continue to push the benefits of the products?
Secondly if you are part of a network marketing company and are pushing the great compensation plan, or possibly the opportunity to get in on the ground floor level but are not showing people how this can be achieved then you are again doing yourself a disservice.
So which one do you market? Market the system.
This might sound foreign to some but the majority of people want to follow. Being a born leader is a true privilege but if people are not shown how to follow then they are not given a level of confidence that their business will also succeed. Marketing a network marketing business is very much like selling a franchise. Franchisors continuously market their system to potentials franchisees.
As we spoke of before, some of the greatest fast food chains have created systems that can be followed by just about anyone. The potential franchisee isn’t as concerned with how much he or she likes the product or how much they can ‘potentially’ earn, but rather their main concern is on how effective the system is and how that system has performed for others in then past. This needs to be the same in your home based business if you desire to grow your business effectively. Marketing the system not only breed confidence in others that they can also achieve results, but also focuses on duplication as one of the most powerful tools in network marketing is your ability to show someone how to duplicate your success.
