Improve Your Forever Living Profits
Forever Living network marketing reps: Forget chasing friends and family. Learn how 7-figure earners build huge businesses using tactics rarely taught at live events and on Forever Living webinars.
If you want to become a top earner, the way to do it is to implement a promotional plan that puts your message in front of thousands of people - not merely a handful of friends, family members and people you know.
It's imperative you master the basics of marketing- like any real business
I've been groomed by 6 and 7-figure income earners who taught me the following strategies we quietly use to build large businesses:
- Market Effectively
Move beyond the short-term make a list of friends and family tactics most network marketers practice. Use real marketing. Once you run out of friends and family to prospect, you are going to need to use real marketing to grow your business.
Purchasing leads and business cards, and setting up your company-provided replicated website seems like marketing. A lot of these tools are ineffective and a waste of time. A variety of elements factor into a marketing plan:
Target The Right People: Who is your target market for your Forever Living opportunity? Entrepreneurs? People who are in dire need of money? I recommend you target other network marketers who are looking for a better way to build their business. These people understand the business model and won't ask silly questions such as, Is this a pyramid? People in network marketing have signaled they are willing to put a monthly product purchase onto their credit card.
Position Yourself Strategically: Thousands of people are promoting Forever Living. What unique value do you provide? Clarify your unique selling proposition. (U.S.P.)
Promote: Once you run out of friends and family to prospect into your Forever Living business, how will you generate leads? Get trained in solid online marketing tactics that will generate leads for your business.
Follow-Up: Once you generate a lead, how will you follow up? To follow up, call your leads, and add them to an automated email follow up system.
- Marketing Is More Critical Than Duplication
Traditionally, network marketers in companies like Forever Living are taught to keep their business-building activities extremely simple and duplicable by others Focus On Marketing More Than Duplication People in network marketing opportunities such as Forever Living are told they need to keep everything they do simple so people in their Forever Living downline can duplicate these activities.
Does this keep everything duplicable strategy actually work? For a very small percentage of marketers, this strategy is effective. But for the masses of network marketers in companies like Forever Living, keeping all the activities in their business simple will NOT necessarily promote duplication.
Check out these facts:
- Only about 1 in 5 people in your Forever Living downline will sponsor anyone else.
- Of those that do sponsor people, most will only sponsor 2-3 people total.
- 80 percent of people in your Forever Living organization will sponsor zero people...that's right: zero!
In other words, the keep-it-simple approach so popular in network marketing has an 80% failure rate!
Keeping everything you do duplicable will NOT maximize your Forever Living income and it also creates problems few talk about. The most popular tactic to keep things simple is warm market recruiting, making a list of friends and family and then prospecting them to try to get them to join Forever Living.People promote this strategy not because it's the most effective tactic, but because it's the simplest.
This strategy can actually lead to people quitting Forever Living. Once people run out of others to talk to within the first 30-90 days, they will often quit Forever Living because they have NO CLUE how to perform the one activity they must rely on to build a business: advertising and marketing to generate consistent lead flow. The second problem this friends and family approach creates is it repels high caliber prospects. Ideal prospects for a Forever Living business, people with transferable skills and large personal and professional networks such as real estate professionals, professional salespeople, and other business people tend NOT to want to approach family and friends about their opportunity. Many professionals want to protect their reputation and do NOT want to introduce their friends and colleagues to an opportunity that they just got started with such as Forever Living.
So should you begin by approaching friends and family about your Forever Living business? Sure. But unless you learn at least one rock solid marketing and advertising approach, you will run out of people to talk to. Your best prospects are likely going to want to market their business professionally, not pester friends at cocktail parties. Learn how to market your business on the Internet, and you can attract extremely high caliber Forever Living prospects who want to learn the same. If just a handful of people also learn to market Forever Living online, you could experience massive growth in your Forever Living business, without relying heavily on the friends and family approach.""
- Spend Time with Entrepreneurial People
Understand that having a job and building a Forever Living enterprise are extremely different. Rather than depending hopelessly on a job to make you rich, you're building a long term enterprise.
Pretty soon your friends and relatives won't understand what you're doing. That's when they'll start making annoying comments:
- So how's the business? You get rich yet?
- When are you going to make money?
- I tried one of those things before. They never work!
This is employee mindset. Do not allow your mentality to be influenced by these ignorant comments. Make sure you drastically limit the amount of time you spend around people who don't understand what you're doing. You'll gain friendships and have more fun.
Find other people building a network marketing business. Find and go to local and national events for network marketers in Forever Living. Connect with a few top leaders in Forever Living or other companies. They are often energetic, support people.
Reach out to other networker through Facebook. Do not lead with your Forever Living business. Start conversations. Your income is going to be the average of the 5 people you spend time with the most. Pick the people you spend time with carefully.
If you want to become a top earner, the way to do it is to implement a promotional plan that puts your message in front of thousands of people - not merely a handful of friends, family members and people you know.
