No one wins a race without crossing the finish line. But, you have to know where the finish line is so thatyou can work towards the goal.

The same is true with your direct sales business.

If you want to be successful, you have to establish goals that you can track and measure. Your goals can and will change over time, but you need to start somewhere to establish a good business routine.

For example, my overall goals to market my business and sponsor new consultants is the following:

3 contacts per day: Giving out mini-catalogs, calling previous customers and hostesses

2 parties per week: Based on my schedule, I aim for 2 parties per week, which usually includes one in home party and one catalog party. When I don’t reach this goal, I call more people and pass out more mini-catalogs and talk to more people about the benefits of hosting.

1 new consultant per month: I am constantly looking for new people to add to my team so that I have a steady flow of new consultants. This keeps the team “fresh” with new ideas and enthusiasm, but it also allows for attrition.

Let’s say your goal was to add one new team member per week. How would you prioritize your activity to reach this goal?

3 contacts per day: Contacting people specifically about the business opportunity. You will need to find a way to consistently attract new people who might be interested in the business opportunity to be able to make these 3 calls per day.

2 business opportunity presentations per week: Find a local restaurant with a private dining area or other public place that will let you host opportunity meetings for free. Hotel rooms and conference centers can be expensive. Use free and inexpensive resources to host your business opportunity presentations – the more people you talk to, the greater your chance to find a new team member.

1 public event per month: Keep looking for potential new team members by participating in public events. You’ll have the opportunity to meet a great number of people and be able to tell them a little about your product and invite them to your next business opportunity meeting. Don’t try to sign up a new team member on the spot, this rarely (if ever) happens. Be prepared with mini-catalogs and general business opportunity handouts to give people information. The key to making this a success is to collect contact information for everyone who expresses an interest so that you can follow-up! Call to thank them for visiting your table, taking some information and reminding them of the next business opportunity meeting. The more you follow-up, the greater your chances of them showing up to one of your meetings. Plus, these are now great contacts for your product too – many loyal customers become your next team members!

What is your direct sales goal and how do you plan to reach it? The key to setting goals is making them achievable. Start small and increase your goals as you improve to keep striving for better results!

Why My Results Work

I have been writing endlessly for years, but it was only when I teamed up with WSI: We Simplify the Internet as a long-term permalancer was I exposed how to turn my writing into straight profit. That profit was not in my back-pocket. I went through an internship program in which I learned from online marketing experts how to generate appealing content which can boost readerships, drive traffic, and gain that all illusive top spot on Google for other people.

A year later, I met a wonderful friend who allowed me to share some time on his own personal Empower Network to get a feel for the platform. He offered a personal insight in to how and why this system works, and never put any pressure on me to join. He just wanted a fellow writer to have some fun, and I did! I really did, so much so, that I joined up within a matter of weeks.

My personal website, which is a basic online personal portfolio, ranks number one. This took only three months to complete and I’m ashamed to say I wasn’t even posting daily content or using the Empower Network. What I did do however, was leverage social media marketing and my natural instinct to give people what they want; results. I took what I had learned from an awesome marketing company and inadvertently branded myself in a short space of time.

I figured if I could do all this without the aid of the Empower Network, who themselves have gained incredible results in such a short space of time, then imagine what my advice teamed with your own viral blogging platform could achieve? The sky, like opportunities, is limitless, as they say and I’m reaching for the top with both hands. The Empower Network is opening new doors I never could have found on my own, and uncapped my potential.

Why Network Marketing Can Help You Today

Network marketing offers opportunity. Here are just a few of the basic principles:

If you perform, you get paid, and you get paid what you are worth
They are excited to pay you more and are sincere when offering million-dollar incomes
The community embraces change and success and happiness for everyone
It doesn’t matter who you know or where you are from, success is only based on what you do
You are not judged on your social status or education and are not limited by your past

The days of working for a pay check have ended, and you must embrace a new mindset and way of working to sustain your income and create success and happiness; network marketing is the future and allows you to achieve all of this and more. How network marketing can help you work for yourself is specifically determined by who you are and what you can achieve.

Why I Use the Empower Network

I knew I could achieve great things, but having denied myself for so long. I choose the Empower Network because success is a strategy, and I want to share my information with the world so that others may prosper.

I know what it’s like to have nothing, to have lost everything, and have done so several times during my life. Now I want a platform with which to stand to yell my message to the mountains, whose own founders share my beliefs and have been in a similar position themselves. I am inspired by those around me and want to be surrounded by those who want more from life.

I hope that something in this message resonated with you, and that you choose to join me in this path we call life. I know it’s not for everyone, but I also know how to bring you through the tunnel of doubt and come out the other side in true wealth and success. It’s time to put into place the skills we all have and focus them with confidence, believe and direction so that we may overcome these hurdles and become facilitators of our own fate. If you don’t want to succeed, now is the time to turn away.
