Is a business opportunity better off worked at home or what?

MLM/Network Marketing is a legitimate and potentially lucrative way to work from home.  

By directly selling products while creating your own upline downline, you can work your  business opportunity part-time, from home, and at your own hours.  Even with all the potential for making money, you should decide, though if this route is for you.

Many people are blinded by all the benefits of a business opportunity when determining if this type of business is right for them.  You do not need to have a college degree or any experience to get into the industry.  

The products are already manufactured and are usually shipped by the company directly to your customers.  Plus, you choose your hours and your work location.  In fact, many business opportunities are taken by people who work from the comfort of their own home.

Other benefits of having a business opportunity that is worked from home is that you have leverage; you continue earning commissions on a single effort.  You do not need to come up with your own business or marketing plan, because the company does it for you.  Also, recruiting and training systems are provided for you by the company.

Despite the numerous benefits, work from home businesses do come with some downfalls.
 
For instance, you usually start of marketing to family and friends. This is especially so if you are just starting your work from home  business. This can create some friction and alienation, especially among people who are more acquaintances than close friends and family.
 
The work is selling, so you need to have a pretty strong backbone, as many people will tell you, “no” instead of the much-coveted “yes”.  Therefore, it takes a lot of effort and motivation.
 
In order to make the most potential income, you need to continuously recruit new representatives.  Plus, if you are working from home, your business opportunity will require that you purchase a certain amount of product each month or quarter, adding in a financial commitment.

Working at home works for some people. But other people find that it takes a great deal of discipline and motivation to get the job done without being easily distracted. Before you decide to take up a business opportunity and work at home, make sure that you get all the information that you need to make an informed decision.

So weighing out the good and bad, is this for you?

Well, if you are a self-starter with a lot of energy and motivation then it is a good start. If you have leadership skills and can set goals and meet them, then this might be for you, too.
 
Network marketing people have great people skills and are self-starters.  They have strong powers of persuasion and can influence people easily.They also have an ability to guide and encourage others to work the program.  

A business opportunity is an ideal trade to run on the Internet and work from your home.  If you have the personality to run this type of business, then it could be the perfect opportunity for you.  

I would love for you to consider the company that I represent.  SEACRET is an international business that has spread to more than 40 countries around the globe. With its affiliate partners, it has more than $1 billion in retail product sales. The company has become one of the largest distributors of Dead Sea cosmetics, with its products formulated in the largest manufacturing plant in the world, right next to the shores of the Dead Sea.

No two people are alike in network marketing

No two people are alike in the network marketing, but there are some shared personality traits that are common to those who have started and operated in network marketing already.

One of the most common personalities inherent among a network marketing business person is their entrepreneurial spirit.

What are some of these traits that make up a network marketing entrepreneur?

Self-Starter

Self-starters are the type of people who do not just sit around thinking about something over and over again. Yet no action is taken to get things done. They decide on what needs to be done and simply do it.

Take this example. You are in need of your own network marketing website but income limits you from just hiring a web design company to make that site. As a self-starter, you would go to work about gathering all the information pertinent to web design and development.

Then you would develop and design your site. In the end you would have a website that you have developed yourself.

One vital trait of a self-starter is to know their strengths and weaknesses and be able to accept them.

Self-motivated

The self-motivated individual has a lot of motivation and drive. Because each person is a unique being, one person’s motivations may be different from everyone else’s.

For example, your motivation for starting your own network marketing business could be to earn $500 or $1,000 per month or $10,000 or $20,000 per month. Or it could be that you want to home school your kids, and that requires earning an income working from home.

Your level of motivation to a large measure will be dependent up on your purpose and level of commitment. It depends on how big your dream is.

Creative 

The creative individual has a lot of great ideas. They are usually able to come up with good ideas and problem solving solutions. Many of their ideas are often the results of listening and observing other businesses that is related to network marketing.

They focus on finding solutions, rather than dwelling on the challenges. 

For example, if you have a limited advertising budget, you would get to work finding all the available free advertising avenues instead to thinking over and over how limited your budget is.

Your creativity would result in expanding your network marketing advertising program. You would also have the knowledge from research. Thus, resolving the problem and creating an additional income.

Self-disciplined

The self-disciplined individual is one who does not need someone standing over. Or having someone tells them what, how and when to do. They do not need anyone telling to get something done. They are able to determine what needs to be done, then set aside time to do it.

A network marketing business may fail, many do first time around. But the self-disciplined individual does not accept that they are a failure. They simply learn from the mistakes and use them as a tool to attain success.

As an entrepreneur in network marketing you should be able to adapt. You will find yourself playing different roles such as: marketer, promoter, public relations, motivator, sponsor, Webmaster…and so forth. You are not afraid of chance and are opened and flexible to them.

Successful businesses are not built over night but over time. As a network marketing entrepreneur you are willing to go the extra mile, put forth the time and effort needed to build a successful business organization.

The One Minute Presentation

“If you want to have good ideas, you must have many ideas. Most of them will be wrong, and what you have to learn is which ones to throw away.”
— Linus Pauling, chemist

“Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.”
— Brian Tracy, Author

“Sometimes the best helping hand you can get is a good, firm push.”
— Joann Thomas

“Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther.”
— J.P. Morgan, industrialist

What is the perfect length of your opportunity presentation?

Walk up to a prospect and say:

“I can give you a long presentation or a short presentation. Which one would you prefer?”

Call a prospect and say:

“I can give you a long presentation or a short presentation. Which one would you prefer?”

The answer is obvious. Short.

Prospects are super busy with family, jobs, e-mail and cable television. They want to know these things right away:

1. What kind of business are you in?

2. How much money can I make?

3. What do I have to do to earn that money?

If you can answer those questions quickly, you will keep your prospect interested. That’s what network marketer’s call a “One-Minute Presentation.”

Is that the only way to do a short presentation? Of course not. You could learn to do “The Two-Minute Story” or even the “17-Second Presentation”, but starting with the “One-Minute Presentation” is usually an easier first step.

Try putting your “One-Minute Presentation” together now and have it ready for your next prospect. Your prospect will love it, and you’ll be building your business with ease.
====I hope that brief information above resonates with you. You can give the prospect all kinds of information – and we want to – but often times prospects just want you to get to the point. If the prospect isn’t interested after a 1-minute presentation about your business, a 5 or 10-minute presentation isn’t going to change their mind.

And you can give too much information. Unfortunately all that seems to do is create “analysis paralysis”.

As you craft your phone script, keep these points in mind also. It’s real easy to go on and on about our companies when putting together phone scripts. But try to focus on what’s important to your prospect.. what kind of business is it… how much money can your prospect make.. what does your prospect have to do to earn that money.

When you can give this information in a concise manner, you can prospect most anyone anywhere.

To your success

Are You Believable?

Do prospects believe you?

Do prospects believe what you’re telling them? Or do they think you’re blowing smoke and full of hype instead?

Hopefully your prospects do believe you and don’t think you’re full of hype.

It’s often that people will talk about the “10s of 1,000s” one can earn in their company. While that may be true, unfortunately most people can’t relate to making that sort of income.

So instead of talking about 10,000s of extra income, maybe we should talk about an extra 200 to 300 dollars a month instead. A lot more people would believe those figures.

Stop and think about it.

An extra 200 to 300 dollars a month right now might allow a person to buy a car, or move into a nicer apartment. That amount could help them send their kid to a better school. Or it might help them save for that family vacation they’re always talking about but never can afford.

Some people have aspirations of becoming independently wealthy beyond dreams!.. while others just want to make a few hundred extra each month.
Keep that in mind as you prospect. That way you’re speaking a language that your prospect can understand and relate to.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could custom tailor your MLM leads?

In order to succeed in MLM, you are going to need a steady supply of fresh-targeted MLM leads that are anxious to get started in this business opportunity. MLM lead vendors know this little fact too and they can see you coming a mile away.

This can pose a problem for all but the super savvy network marketers and people with extra-ordinary telephone skills.

Here are 5 of the most popular reasons you may want to consider generating your own MLM marketing leads.

1. Quality. When you purchase MLM leads from a leads vendor, you are buying a list of names and contact details that have been generated in a very generic way to maximize the response rate of the lead generators advertising campaign. These MLM leads are not necessarily generated from the most targeted means of advertising.

These leads are not selling them on any specific type of business. When you are using this type of lead you really don’t know what type of business they may be interested in. In the end, you are left to sorting and this can be a time consuming procedure. Generating your own MLM leads with a website you have control over changes all this.

2. Responsive. MLM leads that you have generated on your own are usually much more responsive than leads that you would have purchased from a leads vendor. Most probably they have not been contacted by several different network marketers and their name has not been sold over and over again by some of the leads vendors out there.

Leads that you generate are as fresh as you can get and they are exclusive to you only

3. Real-Time Leads. One of the most popular reasons for a network marketer to generate their own MLM leads is that you can receive them in real-time.

This is especially powerful for people who are in the higher ticket business opportunities and they need the highest quality lead they can get. Nothing beats having company specific real-time leads in your inbox waiting to be contacted about your product or opportunity.

4. Custom Surveys. When you are the lead generator you have full control over the questions you want to ask your prospects. You can simply qualify or disqualify leads based on the questions they have answered on your lead capture page.

It is a wise idea to always run a “Comments or Questions” or “Tell Me about You” space on your lead capture page.

Not every single prospect will fill these fields out but when they do it will be the most valuable piece of information you receive next to their name and number. Anything a prospect is willing to share with you before the initial contact is like an icebreaker.

5. Cost.  Generating your own MLM leads can actually save you a lot of money if you spend the time to setup some solid advertising campaigns.

Like many leads companies on the web you would not have the high cost of employees either. Your cost to generate your own leads will be your advertising costs and any other tools you may be using such as lead capture pages and auto responders.

These are just a few reasons you may want to consider generating your own MLM leads for your specific product or opportunity. It could make a difference in how effectively you market your program.

What is Network Marketing?

Why are so many people afraid to join a network marketing company?  Is it due to the negative reputation that many before have given this industry.  What is network marketing?  Simply put, network marketing is a marketing method which uses contracted individuals to represent a product or service to the consumer.  Just like the big box companies use Televisions, Radio, Billboards and such to reach their consumers – the same goes for network marketing companies.  Consider each representative/distributor/associate simply as a Television or Radio ad, or a walking billboard.  Many people get involved with such an industry with an attitude of getting rich quick.  This is a bad attitude to have when getting involved with this industry.  Making money is possible, but just like any other job – hard work and customer service skills are required.  You must be able to put the work in with the notion that the income will come one day. Patience is the key ingredient to this industry.

Now, people tend to confuse network marketing with pyramid-selling.  Both are completely different and one is illegal.  Think about a traditional business.  They might have a marketing department and a sales task force.  The marketing department is in charge of getting in front of the people and raising their awareness of the product or service available.  Once the people inquire about the product or service it is up to the sales team to make the actual sale happen.  In network marketing, both departments are merged into one department known as a representative or distributor.  Watch the video from Robert Kiyosaki  regarding the network marketing industry.
