It Has Been an Interesting Journey

It Has Been an Interesting Journey

I’ve worked at home for several years now. It happened more by circumstances than by intent. I worked in the administrative end of law enforcement for many years, and I loved it! I was with County Probation Departments in both California and Arizona. I worked with the Federal Probation Department as well. I also worked with a local Police Department, State Gang Task Force and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). It was a great field in which to work. Unfortunately – or fortunately, looking in the rearview mirror – virtually every level of government began making huge personnel cuts. Within a couple years, the local offices of the departments with which I worked were eliminated. I could have transferred with them to offices 90 miles away, but I didn’t love it that much! After being laid off the second time, I tried my hand at a typing service, earning a small supplemental income. It never grew into a “real” business. I then tried my first network marketing business with a lingerie “party” company. I gave it a good try, a full year. It was fun, but I simply could not sell a luxury item. I broke even. I then moved on to a discount benefit company. They sold discount health and dental care plans. The plans helped people who had no health insurance. Unfortunately, I never received training or support from them. I asked for it, but all I received was what I call “rah-rah.” I was told (hear this as a high-school cheer), “You can do it, you can do it, you can you can.” But I was never told HOW I could do “it.” That company wasn’t a good match for me. No one can say I’m a quitter, because I stayed with them for six years! I put my all into it, but I never got more than about 1/3 of the way up “the ladder.” Finally, on February 28, 2011, I joined Xpress Healthcare. Xpress is also a discount health and dental care company (NOT insurance). Our products help people gain access to affordable healthcare who otherwise may be unable to do so. Our members pay for their own services, but they pay discounted prices, some dramatically discounted! The only similarity between the two companies is that we both sell discount plans. In every other way, I consider Xpress Healthcare superior. After three months, I was earning as much as I did with the previous company at the end of six years. Our plans are fabulous, from health & Aetna Dental to pet care to roadside assistance, LifeLock™ to legal and much more! All cost less than $50 a month per FAMILY! I am growing a team of leaders, which I was unable to do with my previous company. (Of course, I always have room for more leaders on my team.) So, here I am, loving my Xpress Healthcare business, passionate about our products, the company and the people. In fact, that is one of the biggest difference I’ve found between Xpress and my previous company. Before, I felt like a grain of sand in a sandbox. With Xpress, everyone truly MATTERS! ******************************* To learn about Julie Klein and the Xpress Healthcare Business Opportunity, please visit  joinxpresshealthcare.com .

Expose Yourself!

Network marketing recruiting is a skill.  Anyone with the desire and dedication can learn this skill, even master it.  Are you prepared to improve your recruiting efforts producing the results you’ve been seeking?  Do you want to be a team leader?  Are you ready to begin harvesting the rewards of your time and effort? 

Your websites and training can help you reach your goals, but when it comes right down to it, only YOU can perform the work it will take.  There are qualifications required to recruit team members, lead a team and build a successful business.           

·        Among those skills is passion for your company, your products and your business opportunity.  If you don’t truly believe it, you can’t sell it.

·        Along with passion, a positive attitude is a must.  Both passion and a positive attitude are contagious.  Your prospects recognize these qualities, and oftentimes want what you have.

·        Persistence is necessary.  Whatever challenges arise, recruiting leaders persevere, finding solutions to problems and moving on.

·        Patience is huge with any network marketing company.  If you have reasonable expectations about how much you will earn and in what period of time you’ll earn it, you will not get discouraged.  Work your business as hard as you can, and in time, you’ll be earning money – possibly very good money.

We’ve all seen promotions on television for the Army, Navy or Air Force trying to recruit people into the military to serve their country.  In exchange for their service, they are offered benefits like a free college degree and world travel.

Those of us in network marketing are basically doing a similar thing.  We are marketing to people who want to start a home-based business and have the desire and willingness to make that happen.

Like the Army, your goal is to promote & publicize what you have to offer, in our case a business opportunity. You must introduce the potential benefits and advantages of joining your company and your team in particular.  Using flyers, brochures, business cards, online ads and forums, get the word out; hang your “open for business” sign anywhere you possibly can.  Your main job as a recruiter is to expose your prospects to your opportunity.  To do this, you want to drive people to your website using every means you can imagine.  You website should provide the information they need to determine whether or not your company is right for them  Once they have reviewed your site, you can answer their questions.  If people go to your website first, it will be unnecessary to do a full presentation to prospects.  Let them learn primarily from your website.

The name of the game is exposure.  Expose yourself!  In network marketing recruiting, the more people see you, the more likely it is that they will join your team.

Explore all the methods in which you can promote the business opportunity and get as much exposure as you can. You can use online and off-line techniques. Off-line you can advertise with flyers, brochures and business cards or by joining groups of like-minded people.

I highly encourage networkers to use social media marketing.  It is an extremely effective platform to advertise a network marketing opportunity.  Forums and blogs are not a quick way to build a team, but they are among the best.  

Many people call blogs, social and network marketing relationship building.  The idea is to build relationships with others who participate in these mediums.  Let them know about you, but not by promoting your business. Gain one another’s trust. Once you get to know each other, oftentimes your newly acquired internet friends begin asking questions about your business or product.  If you help these new internet associates to promote their business, they likely will do the same for you. 

You can also create and post videos on YouTube and other video sites to attract those looking for a business by driving them to your opportunity websites.

There are thousands of people searching for just the right opportunity.  If you want many of those people to join your team, you must let them know who you are and that you are seeking team members.  The best way to do so is by exposing yourself!
