The Glue in Network Marketing and MLM are EVENTS

2008-07-15T19:57:00.001-07:00

Events are the Glue...also they are one the 3 vital signs when checking the "health" of your business. It's great that you have yourself signed up for an event like convention , but the real question is - how many on your team are signed up to get to convention?

I understand some of the challenges we all face when talking to our teams about going to events such as;

- But I don't have any money (exactly why they should go)
- But I can't get the time off (exactly why they should go)
- But I don't have anyone on my team (exactly why they should go)
- But I don't need a pep rally, I need to know how to DO the business (maybe you do need a pep rally because most folks in Network Marketing get the "How to's" their first few weeks in the business and still haven't sponsored anyone!)

How do I get my team signed up for the events, you may ask?

Call each team member and be sure they are going to the local trainings in your area. The leaders in front of the room should be talking about the event. Get them on the National Calls - I GAURANTEE you they are talking about the National events. Let the leaders do the work instead of you trying to do it all - that's the purpose of edification and the system.

You can also call each team member and ask if they are signed up for the event yet. If they say "no", ask them if they plan on attending a "life-changing" event for themselves and their family and ask if they really wanted that "WHY" (dream, goal or thing) that they told you about when they got started in the business. If they say "Yes". Be in front of your computer and let them know you can get them signed up right then - all you will need is a little info. Do not rely on them to sign themselves up (that's why the have not done it yet). Most people will stand in the way of their own success. You need to be the catalyst to move them out of their way. Sign them up right there on the spot on your computer.

You can also go by their house. I will never forget when I got started in my first Network Marketing company and I did not want to go the convention. My sponsor came over to my house and suggested we do it right then (the ticket was over $1000 to fly there!). I couldn't say No and I ended up going and it made the difference for me between quitting (if I had not gone) and becoming financially free from my job within a year (which happened!).

Don't leave it to chance folks. Get them out of their own way and get them signed up on the spot. You will be glad you did and so will they. And you won't be left saying at the event "This event is so life-changing I wish I tried harder with the others who didn't make it".

Learn How Holton Buggs Tracks His Numbers

2008-06-17T21:06:00.000-07:00

Tracking Your Success in Network Marketing is paramount to having no success, some success or MASSIVE success.

What numbers should you track?

1. How many times You and Your team are sharing the plan and products on a weekly basis? It is recommended that you share the plan and products no less than 4 times per week.

2. Tool flow through your business - are the you using tools to duplicate? If not, You need to immediately. If you are, you need to track how many of the tools are flowing through your team.

3. Are you and your team at each function? That includes the weekly Briefing at a hotel of conference center and each weekly training and each National event.

Tracking the numbers will allow you to have accountability for the actions you take or do not take. Tracking numbers is not required but you will not get the success you desire – I liken it to trying to drive your car with the gauges covered;

• You have no idea how fast or SLOW you are going
• You have no idea if you are going to run out of gas
• You have no idea if your car stops – what the problem is or how to get it running again (the business is not working for you and you have no idea why or even what to do next)
• You have no idea if your car (or business) is healthy or not
• In other words – YOU HAVE NO CLUE what to do, how to do it, how to get unstuck (if stuck) and if what you are doing is even effective.

Tracking numbers is not meant to make you feel bad or good or anything of the sort. It is meant for you to learn how to plan, take action and get results – AND THEN KNOW WHY YOU ARE WINNING AND YOU CAN GET BIGGER and BETTER RESULTS.

If you do not know why you are winning – you will not continue to win
