THE PSYCHOLOGY OF A GREAT NETWORKER.
Welcome my great friend I hope you are doing well and wonderful.
In today's article I'll try my best to talk about some ideas about the psychology of a great network marketer.
I still recall my early days in network marketing business infact, I remember as if it was yesterday.
There were alot of things that I didn't know but if someone had told me how far I was based on the psychology of becoming a great networker I would have argued with the person.
Firstly what is the psychology of great networkers?
In simple terms it means the way great network marketers think.
Great networkers think differently from amateurs and that is why they obtain different results.
If you must succeed in network marketing profession, you must be willing to align with the way great networkers think.
Understand : Most of the ideas here may be known to you while others may not.
Irrespective of whether you know them or not you have to understand that knowing doesn't precede doing.
You may know these ideas but if you don't implement them, your results in this industry won't change.
Below are some of the ways that great networkers think
1) THEY KNOW THEIR NETWORK MARKETING STRENGTH
Great networkers don't build their business haphazardly like the amateurs do.
They have discovered their area of strength and they only build their business by leveraging their strength. You can't get them to build their business in a way that doesn't align with their personality.
If your aim is to become a great networker you must reason this way.
Know your area of networking strength and focus on building your business in that line.
2) THEY KNOW THAT NETWORK MARKETING IS A BUSINESS
I recall my early days in network marketing industry I didn't see it as a business, I saw it like a charity organization.
This wasn't entirely my fault it was based on how the presenters hyped the business.
They made it look like the C.E.O was helping the distributors.
They didn't present the business to me as if I was to be their partner
rather, they presented it as if they were helping me and since I didn't know much about the industry and being a novice to the world of business I believed them.
No, they were sincere People, they didn't cajole me in anyway.... I guess they didn't just know the right approach of presenting the business or perhaps they were displaying a high degree of enthusiasm about the company.
I misinterpreted those actions and their words and saw the business as a charity organization rather than a business.
As a result of this, I wasn't willing to invest money to grow my business.
I recall once they asked us to transport ourselves to the company's convention...
I was surprised; I expected the company to sponsor my transport because I was told in the seminar that the CEO started the company to help many people out of poverty and that he was one of the richest people in his country.
While information as such may be understood by a business minded person, it may be taken literally by a novice in the business world.
If you want to become a great networker you must think like a great networker by understanding that you will bring money from other sources to build your business.
You must equally understand that it takes time for every business to grow and that network marketing is no different.
You must also understand that your network marketing company isn't a charity organization, they are not helping you in any way you are only partnering with them. You earn money when you sell their products.
3) QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Great networkers go after quality Prospects.
They are willing to follow up a quality Prospect for a year than recruit a bunch of unqualified people in the name of recruiting.
I must tell you the truth.
I was terrible in this aspect when I was new to network marketing.
I was just trying to get anyone not minding how qualified they were... I'll say I was just concerned with the referral bonus.
Understand : Great networkers Prospect People before inviting them to see their business opportunity.
You may be shocked to know that great networkers will gladly reject a Prospect that doesn't meet their standard.
The truth is that there are people you introduce into your team and they destroy your team's energy.
Great networkers consider short-term effects of a Prospect as well as the long term effects.
4) THEY KNOW WHY THEY ARE IN NETWORK MARKETING.
Great networkers know why they are building their Network Marketing business.
Their WHY is always in their psyche which gives them 100 % motivation to go for their goals.
Note that your WHY isn't always your goals but it's always why you want to achieve your goals.
Most new networkers don't have goals for their business let alone knowing their reasons for achieving those goals.
Here's a strategy for discovering your WHY.
Identify your goals. Then ask yourself why it's important to reach those goals.
After you've known why it's necessary to reach those goals ask yourself again why your reasons are important to you.
Keep on asking why in every reason you come up with
After asking why on any reason you come up with for about 5 times , you will discover your core motivation for building your network marketing business.
After identifying this, you may want to ask yourself what would happen if you don't achieve your goals.
One thing about the human mind is that there lies all the power you need to reach your peak of success but unless it's awakened, you won't be able to use it.
The simple act of discovering your WHY will awaken your inner drive to accomplish your desires.
All great networkers have identified their WHY so giving up isn't an option.
5) THEY DON'T ONLY OPERATE LOCALLY
Great networkers don't only build their business locally, they equally Position themselves for the global market.
They don't focus on recruiting only their family and friends they equally Position themselves for strangers.
They don't only think short term, they also think long term.
For example amateur networkers cross out Prospects phone numbers from their Prospects list if such Prospects don't join as soon as possible
But great networkers have a long term view about their business.
They know that if a Prospect doesn't join now that Prospect can join later, or be a client in another project.
Let me tell you a common mistake that networkers do mostly those networkers that are building their business using Whatsapp
If a Prospect doesn't join them few weeks of staying in their WhatsApp group, they remove those Prospects.
In my opinion, this is a wrong decision.
Great networkers know that even if someone doesn't join them in that Company, in the future they may join them in another business provided they are still in that WhatsApp group.
I created my WhatsApp group many years ago and am still selling to my participants up till now irrespective of the fact that I've changed businesses.
This WhatsApp example is just one of the short term wrong decisions made by amateur networkers.
Great networkers don't only make short term decisions, they also make long term plans and any short term decisions they make must benefit their long term plans.
If your aim is to be a great networker incorporate this into your psyche.
6) THEY UNDERSTAND THAT NETWORK MARKETING IS A PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS WITH COMPENSATION PLAN ATTACHED TO IT.
Great networkers have this idea ingrain in them.
They know that network marketing business is simply a personal development business with a compensation plan attached to it.
They work harder on themselves than they do on their Network Marketing business.
Every great networker has great ideas running through his or her mind.
Their ideas are great to the point of scarring an amateur networker.
In my opinion, personal development is key in this industry.
Your income is always proportional to your mindset and the only way to increase your income will be to increase your mindset through personal development.
If you are doing alot of work in business yet you ain't earning alot just know that there's something wrong with your mindset.
You need to work harder on yourself than you do on your business.
7) THEY UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY AND PERSISTENCY.
One thing that retard People's growth in network marketing Industry is lack of immediate result.
Many new networkers see network marketing as something different from a real business irrespective of knowing that it takes time to earn money in any business venture
They usually expect to experience immediate breakthrough when they join network marketing.
Understand : Great networkers have a totally different mindset towards this.
They know that it will work out if they are committed and persistent So they keep at it.
8) NO EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT.
Great networkers are not emotionally attached to the results in their Network Marketing business.
They remain cool even their expected result doesn't come.
They understand that entrepreneurs don't build business with their emotions.
I recall my early days in network marketing, I was emotionally attached to the outcome.
If the Prospect I invited didn't show up for the seminar I'll be unhappy, if someone promised to sign up and failed to do so, I'll be unhappy.
I was extremely desperate about someone joining me as soon as possible. One could say I was needy and my actions unconsciously sabotage my effort towards building my business.
Understand: Network Marketing shouldn't be built on emotional attachment because you will always be discouraged.
Our industry is an emotional rollercoaster
If you are emotionally attached you won't go far in the business.
Great networkers are not emotionally attached.
They are genuinely looking for Interested people who are ready to generate another source of income.
They are not only concerned with the referral bonuses
This is why they may reject you from joining their teams if you act desperate.
If your aim is to be a great networker, you must learn how to be emotionally detached from the outcome.
One of the major causes of emotional attachment to your network marketing business in my opinion is if you are placing all your financial problems on your network marketing business.
If you are looking for money to pay your next house rent or to buy your next meal I'll suggest you go get a job and leave network marketing because you will be disappointed.
This is a business just like other businesses it takes time to start generating steady income for you and you must give it time to grow.
In summary Great networkers think totally different from amateurs and if you must become one, you must let go of your previous beliefs about network marketing and start thinking like great networkers.
