Product of your product
So you found a work at home opportunity that you feel good about. Now what? Depending on which type of business you chose there will be some available training, even if you chose real estate, [if so find a mentor, I can not stress that enough]for you to attend. In network marketing the system hopefully is duplicable. Meaning everyone can follow a "template" and have success. Does this always work? For most, yes, especially in the beginning. Once you find your groove you can adjust as needed for you. The one area I feel strong about, and some will disagree, is being a product of your product. This simply means, if you chose a company that is marketing a snake oil extract that will make you appear younger, use it. You want to believe in the company and its products how else can you feel good about "sharing" the product or opportunity? Is this necessary for success, I believe so. Let me tell you a story. Two guys started a local fruit drink business. They went around their neighborhood reserving cooler space to put their product. Shortly they started to grow, and grow, and grow. They got so big they wanted to grow more so they started a commercial campaign, you might remember "Wendy" [now you know who I am talking about?] They grew so big a giant food company made them an offer they couldn't refuse. So they took it. A strange thing happened, sales dropped! No one could figure it out, same product, huge marketing machine behind it [they did drop Wendy!]what happened???? One train of thought on this was at the business meetings the 2 guys would have there would be buckets of ice and their fruit drinks, everyone at the company loved the drinks and had input on flavors. The new corporation had coffee and water, no time to focus on on line of drinks at meetings, when they had a full line of food products. Sales eventually dropped off so much the 2 guys got the company back, pennies on the dollar. Bottom line if you are a product of your product the passion you will have for it will show and make you a more believable communicator, Notice I said communicator not salesperson....more on that next time
