A Great Network Marketer

At a recent company event, my mentor Randy Gage reviewed the qualities of a great Network Marketer. I was so proud to be a part his great team and vowed to implement these qualities in myself and throughout my team! I took away so many crucial techniques to building a successful network marketing business, but I decided to start here!

A Great Leader Make a Great Network Marketer

Great Leaders attract followers. They do as they say they are going to do and they set an example. See a great leader and follow them!

Real network marketing leaders possess 7 dynamic qualities and actions they implement in their organizations. These are qualities and actions that only 3% of our industry implements daily and in order to join those ranks, we all need to listen, learn & implement! They are not hard to implement, but they will take consistency in teaching to our team. Here they are!

1. Feed Your Dream Daily – have a dream board, vision board, prosperity board, call it what you may, but have pictures of those goals you are working towards. Things you want, places you want to go, people you want to help, promotions you are working towards in your company, achievements you wish to earn you get the point. Whatever your ‘Why’ is, whatever your passion is, have it on your board. Keep it in your bathroom so you look at it every morning and every night before bed. It’s the first thing you see when you wake up and the last thing you see when you go to bed. If this sounds a little corny to you, well then, honey, don’t read any further because I will tell you, you’re not a leader. Leaders self-develop, leaders learn about success and the pathway to success. EVERY single book, CD, video, heck, every successful person on Earth will tell you, they had their goals in front of them everyday. If you refuse to do this, go back to your job and start working really hard for a raise because that is your destiny.

Quality #2 – A Wide Organization is a Solid Organization – Why? The fact of the matter is building wide allows us to sort through our team to find the all-stars. You will find that as you personally sponsor team members, you will have those to talk a big game and end up doing nothing. Or, they find EVERY single thing to complain about. Or, they will search to find why this won’t work. In between those, there will be those all-stars. They don’t need a lot of guidance. They plug into trainings, events and seminars and implement what is learned. They call when they have legitimate questions and to give good news, but then they are off! Our job is to build wide to sort out our all-stars!

#3 – Tap Root Your Depth – You have found the Diamonds in your team, now it is time for you to help them find the leaders and diamonds on their team. When we teach our Diamonds how to train and develop their Diamonds, we are spreading a culture amongst the team. As your depth grows, your trained leaders will keep duplicating building a sustainable, productive organization! So, this is where your companies’ compensation plan is critical! Your compensation plan better reward this behavior and pay multiple levels down into your organization! When this happens you and your team have a vested interest in tap rooting your organization!

4. Be Prime in Prime Time – The best time to make phone calls, connections, host business overviews, etc. is from 6 – 10 p.m. If you’re not liking that, well then, you’re not a leader because you’re not willing to sacrifice the prime hours for your business. Remember, ‘short term sacrifices lead to long term results!’ You sacrifice 6 – 10 p.m. Monday through Friday for 2 – 3 years and you won’t have to worry about times away from family ever again! Besides, do you think Bill Gates, Oprah, or Warren Buffet built their wealth working Monday – Friday 9 – 5? Get out of the ‘employee mentality’ and into an ‘Entrepreneur’s mentality!’ Entrepreneurs love what they do and don’t care what time it is!

5. Follow Winners, Not Losers! – O.K., kind of obvious, right? Wrong. How many people do you know that when you ask how they are, they give you the rundown of all that is wrong in their life. Why do we continue to see these people regularly and ask them how they are doing? It’s an obvious fact to remove yourself from this person, but many don’t. They feel bad and try to be the person to cheer them up. For-get it! From this day on, erase them from your life! Surround yourself with people who are enjoying life, who are exciting to talk to, who share positive experiences, who are MILLIONAIRES! Mom was right! You are who you hang out with. If you hang with people who are broker then you, either be cool with staying broke, or find some new friends! Where you ask? Figure it out – a leader would!

Quality #6: When You Feel Fear, Profess Faith – Fear is a seriously unfortunate thing in our profession. It cripples people from achieving great things, when all it is is ‘False Evidence Appearing Real.’ It’s fake, it’s not real, its simply our subconscious manifesting emotional barriers that give you unrealistic feedback. When this feeling creeps up, have faith in yourself, have faith in your abilities, have faith in your skills!

7. Sew the Dream – create a culture of these steps on your team. Culture amongst your team is EVERYTHING!!! Your team will do, produce and say what you do, produce and say! Your culture should be positive, professional, accountable, emotionally intelligent, but also open to coaching and constructive criticism. When you help others sew their dreams, what happens? You guessed it, your dream is sewn as well! That is the beauty of this great profession! I love it!!

There they are. The 7 steps to becoming a Great Network Marketer! Without following this blueprint, our teams will not grow productively. Randy Gage is a network marketing genius. When he speaks, we should listen…and implement. Keep these 7 steps in front of you. Nurture these steps to grow a culture within your organization. With that, I will leave you with one final thought Randy shared, ‘I will do today what others won’t so I can have tomorrow what others can’t!

Local SEO happens to be one of the most efficient ways to get targeted visitors to your business in your area. Given below are a few simple local SEO tips that you can use to get ranked better.

Your site should always have content that is interesting and useful to visitors. What is the purpose of doing search engine optimization? So that you could get targeted traffic coming to your site. So if you want people to visit your site and actually stay there or buy your product, then you should have relevant information that they would be interested to read. Most website visitors don’t have the time or patience to read everything on a site, but do casual browsing, and stop only when something catches their eye.

When you’re targeting local sites listing services such as Yahoo! Local, Bing Local and Google Places, you should first start off by logging into them and claiming your profile. When you get into these sites, you’ll notice that there is an option to claim your profile by going through a few verification steps that includes a simple phone call to know if your address is yours and verify it. This is a relatively fast and easy process that gives you an advantage over the many other businesses who neglected to do it.

Besides that, upload pictures to these local site listings because they make you appear genuine in the eyes of the users by providing them pictures of your business. It really helps if you post a few good pictures from your site so your prospects get a look at your business. You want to portray your business as impressively as possible, so you should use quality pictures, though they don’t have to be perfect.

You can also get back links from important local websites that have high value in the eyes of the search engines. You can start off by getting listed in the Better Business Bureau, local chamber of commerce website or find some more similar websites that offer big benefits. Search engines can give you more ideas along these lines, so simply type in the name of your city plus “directory of businesses” or the like. This process will supply you with a number of websites that it would be very useful to get a listing from. It doesn’t take much time to find such sites, so make sure you’re putting in the effort in this area.

Try to create incoming links that use other types of the same phrase like “Chocolate Store in New York” or “Chocolate Stores in Manhattan, New York.” Don’t ever forget the value that search engines place on anchor texts; use as many different versions as you can think up to raise your rankings online. To conclude: local SEO is the way you need to go if you want to get more exposure..
