Whether
you are new in the network marketing industry or have been doing it for years,
one of the most important things you can do to help you succeed is attending
any and all training calls and/or webinars offered by your company or team. This also includes one-on-one training
offered by team leaders.
Dialing
or logging into training sessions will help you learn about your product,
service and company. In addition,
training conferences can provide coaching on the necessary skills to build a
strong business. You can learn how to
market your business – and yourself.
Since
the majority of companies offer FREE training for their associates, attendance
requires only your time. Investing your
time into training is worth every minute!
As
a team leader, I have found that those who do not dial into our team calls
often ask many of the same questions that are answered on our calls. Those who attend training are generally more
successful.
Each
of us is responsible for accessing training.
Anyone who thinks they can do it on their own will very likely
fail. We are in NETWORK marketing and
belong to a TEAM.
It
all starts with the “Getting Started” document which all companies and/or team
leaders should provide to their new associates.
The one I send to my team members is very informational and can give
them a “kick start” in their business.
However, many distributors don’t bother to read it or follow the
instructions therein.
I
also distribute detailed recorded videos to help associates learn about the
specific steps required in the process of building their business. Many do not take the time to watch them.
I
am disappointed when I am asked a question about something that was included in
the initial training document and videos.
Obviously the person did not bother to watch it. Because following instructions is an
essential part of our training, rather than answering the question, I refer
them to the documents and videos.
Those
who do not follow instructions and do not consider training calls/webinars are usually
not a person who is serious about having a business.
I
find that I learn from the training calls I provide. Sometimes the knowledge comes from the
research I perform preparing for the training; other times I learn from my team
members.
Encourage
all your team members to plug into all the training. If you host your own calls, don’t waste a lot
of time explaining and answering questions that are included in training
documents, videos, webinars and calls.
It
begins with YOU. You must utilize all training available to you. When you do, you know that you are receiving the
same information as your teammates, and everyone is moving in the same
direction in the same way.
It
is up to YOU, as an independent business owner, to get trained and educated
about your specific company and the network marketing industry. So ask yourself, “Am I utilizing all the training available to me?” If not, why did you join your company to
begin with?
