SUCCESS IS ASSURED WHEN YOU SPEAK | ENTHUSIASTICALLY TO PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES !
CO-SUMMER 2009
Hello Entrepreneurs and Independent Distributors:
Through this feature article, I would like to point out to all of you the important elements which, in my opinion, will ensure success regardless of the network you belong to.
During a recent important motivational meeting with a world renowned company in the wellness industry, I had the opportunity to have a table showcasing books that were dealing with direct selling, entrepreneurship and personal excellence.
There were many book titles exhibited, some of which you will be familiar with. They include:
• Your First Year in Network
• Rich Dad, poor Dad
• The New Wellness Revolution
• Excuse me; Your life is waiting
• Bringing out the best in People : How to enjoy helping other excel
• How to built a winning team
• How to Win Friends and influence people
• Dare to dream
• Work to win
• The secret
• The greatest Networker in the World
As the publisher of Canadian Opportunities, I truly enjoy my role. I love the "bookseller" part of my role, and that role has become second nature to me.
This role permits me to go out into the world more often and come in contact with passionate direct marketing entrepreneurs. I have discovered that each person I meet operates at a different development level. I've found that in order to reach a higher level, each of us must find a solution to the obstacles we face.
From my personal perspective, I've learned a lot from all these entrepreneurs, and that has helped me move forward in achieving my role as communicator, scout, author, interpreter and educator.
My commitment is to meet with and talk to as many entrepreneurs as possible, Josee is one of my examples; she told me that her company did not really take off too well. That she only talked to a few people about her products and they all seemed to have given her negative feedback. As far as I am concerned, this is not the best method to achieve success in network marketing or direct marketing.
Whatever the situation, the concept or the exceptional quality of the product or service, it is not the product or the service that should be pushed, but the enthusiasm for finally having one's own business!
It is enthusiasm, that encourages others to join in and become part of this wonderful business opportunity!
In network marketing, what counts is team work. Success in business materializes only if we help others achieve their own success. It is not just by selling products and services here and there, from time to time. However, we found out that Josee's case is not unique; thousands of people have reached this phase in their development. I am seeing that when they reach this phase, many of them are discouraged and give up on their dreams for a better quality of life.
By proposing a business opportunity, those who will join will become their own first customer! For those who have opted not to join for the moment in becoming entrepreneurs, they will often become satisfied customers. In building your business, don't put pressure on others who react negatively for the moment, it is a waste of your energy and who knows they may change their mind at another time.
Franchising has probably revolutionized business since the 50s, we feel that network marketing through its intrinsic nature, and without any monetary financial barriers, has revolutionized business even more!
Direct Sales is one of the business models that offers a unique and interesting quality of life and the only one to offer to all entrepreneurs the possibility of having a passive income.
I will elaborate on passive income in another article in the next issue. I would like to end by sharing the advantages of network marketing as quoted on the Internet website of the Direct Selling Association of Canada :
With more and more Canadians abandoning the corporate world and going into business for themselves, direct selling industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in Canada. The many advantages to owning your own direct selling business include :
• Flexible hours
• Being your own boss
• Working from the comfort of your own home
• Increased family time
• Unlimited potential for growth, both personal and financial
• Earn an income related to your efforts
• No more commuting to and from work
• Tax deductions
• No worries about downsizing
• No office politics
• Have the backing of an established company that provides training and advice whenever you need
• Rest assured that the quality of the products and services is guaranteed by our member firms, protecting you and your customer
