What to Expect in Your First Month of Business As a Beginner Network-Marketer
Starting your own business is an exciting prospect and once you have made the decision to become an entrepreneur and join or affiliate yourself to a particular company you experience an overwhelming feeling of excitement and anticipation.
What happens next? What do I do next? I am assuming you have a superb training and support network attached to your company because if you haven't you have made a wrong choice of company to join (tip no.
1).
Your first week or even month if needed should be about setting up your system.
In our company, we were given our own back office which had website details, marketing modules and resources, a list of weekly training calls and webinars, training call archives,a list of support contacts and many other features.
You will need to set up your own website (preferably customized) with your own video, photo, captions etc which will establish clearly who you are to your prospects.
This business requires an auto-responder messaging service and I can recommend using Aweber for this function and I would also recommend you personalize these messages so you are further establishing your identity from the beginning.
Once your system is set up, familiarize yourself with every aspect of your back office and spend the first 30days learning as many of the marketing modules that will be required to run your business.
Education is a key component in this business because once you have acquired the necessary skills applying them is a lot easier than you would imagine.
Once you have grasped a few marketing tools try and generate your first lead and when you do celebrate it because now you realize the system works and your journey has begun.
Over the next few weeks try and increase your leads.
Don't eat an elephant in one bite.
Take things gradually and realize there is a learning curve and enjoy this experience.
Once you have tested the water and you are starting to feel comfortable, you will have to make an important decision about where you want to position yourself within the company.
The highest position is obviously the best choice but that depends on a lot of factors; how ambitious you are, your goals, how driven you are and financial circumstances but it will be one of the most critical decisions you will make in your business so give careful consideration to this aspect of the business.
Finally attend any marketing event organized because here you will rub shoulders with the kings of your industry, forge relationships with fellow members and learn the most valuable tips for your business and its all great fun too! I'm off to Las Vegas in November and I've just booked my flight.
