On my previous articles, I have shared with you what I strongly believed how a good and effective system should have based on my personal experience as a traditional network marketer. The followings are the points you should consider, just to recap what I’ve stated, in case you’ve missed the previous postings.

• A know-how on how to execute the network marketing business ;
• 100% duplicated;
• People as it is a ‘people’ business;
• Gatherings of people for training, seminar, etc.; and
• Tools which are the weapons in the business.

Network Marketing is a global business. The market is all over the world. Unless you are using the online marketing method to ‘present’ your business opportunity, you have to be prepared to expand your business to overseas market. How are you going to do that? What must you have to bring your market globally?

Let me show you some skills that I’ve personally used to expand the overseas market through the offline methods.

You must be ready to work hard but smart. Keep on improving your communication skill with people. It will be good if you know how to speak their languages or you have leads in the country that you are expanding.

The network marketing company you’ve chosen is globally in operations and has offices and showrooms all over the regions.

Ensure that your local market is strong. Your downlines and customers are independent and able to service themselves when you are out of town.

Leverage on your network marketing system that you currently duplicated. A good system operated globally and not only in your local area. Leverage on the tools, gatherings, people especially your uplines.

You yourself must be independent. However, be fit and financially secured if you want to bring your business overseas. You need to spend and must be able to control your expenses. Cost will definitely increase, and so does the time. So you have to speed-up your frequency to minimise the cost involved. You should be able to control your time 100%.

Have a positive attitude. Be professional and continue to build your credibility with your current and future downlines and customers. Treat everyone as your business partners.

Do not be afraid of what people think, look and say of you. However, be humble but show your confident and excitement. Just continue to do it as though you are doing it at home.

Focus on your ‘objectives’ – ignore all the ‘devil’ or ‘dream-stealers’ that can make you lose your concentration.

Do your planning properly. Again, don’t waste time. Schedule your appointments in advance – at least secure a minimum of 4 confirmed appointments during your trip. Don’t ever rely on ‘cold’ calls. However, a ‘warm’ call is appropriate if you have leads in that country that you have not contacted. If you are very comfortable with ‘cold’ calling, then just proceed.

Rejections are common in the business. If you can’t handle rejections, then drop the idea of expanding your network marketing business globally. There are other methods you can do by using the online marketing tools.

One of the rules in any business is to accept failures if you want to succeed. You must enjoy on what you’re doing and have passion in doing it.

If your dream is big, the problem becomes small! If your dream is small, then the problem will becomes big!

A System is all about gathering of ‘people’ learning the know-how on how to manage and duplicate a network marketing business. The last piece of jigsaw to complete the system is none other than the Tools.

There are several Tools that you need to consider. Since Tools can be both tangible and intangible, you have to make a clear distinction between the two. The tangible one is the proper usage of such Tools that can save you time and effort. In another words, it can provide you, even with no background and experience, to be successful in the business. It does not involve the recruitment of many people nor depending on your charisma, reputation, etc.

However, no person goes to war without guns and ammunitions., therefore the Tools are your weapons in the business and is actually quite unimaginable.

The list of Tools used can easily fill up tens of pages and constitute the complete set of tools used by professional distributors. Apart from the many books and personal development motivational texts, audio tapes which detailed the marketing experience,lessons, training methods, professional ethics and operations aspects are also a highly recommended tools to be used. Some distributors love to read, some people love listening to audio tapes, some preferred to watch video tapes or VCD, whilst some love all the mediums available. You decided what you want to use.

When you are marketing it online, than you need a an effective Internet marketing system to support you such as opt-in page, autoresponder, etc. Remember, the same principles must be implemented whether you do it offline or online. This is to ensure the duplication process is professionally carried out.

Mentors, uplines and meetings are also tools that can help you to succeed.

Professional guidelines on how the system works and should be duplicated must be recorded in all types of mediums available to maintain its originality. Once a system has a good reputation, you can actually leverage on it to boost your sales volumes and business.

It takes years of experience and hands-on to find the essence of an effective and  successful network marketing system. However, if you have already found it, hold on to it and implement it to excel in your network marketing business.

In Network marketing, establishing a career and to achieve high ranks are not difficult and challenging at all. The real challenge is in perfecting the duplication process and to maintain the stability of the network marketing system and your organization.

Before I go, I like to borrow a quote from one of the most successful network marketing leader who is my idol and a mentor to me, “Real success is not measured by how successfully the uplines perform but rather, how the downlines are properly duplicated and educated on the correct know-how to succeed”.

Talk to you soon,

A powerful network marketing system must have the know-how or methods to execute the business that can be simply duplicated from one people to another.

Network marketing is about people. What we are doing is duplicating people as exact copies of the original. This concept is important in the industry since we are in the ‘people’ business. The new distributor can perhaps directly influence several people, the mid-level can influence tens of people and so on. Now, are we duplicating the people or the system?

Yes. We should be duplicating the system and not the people. However, system is managed by people. Thus it is very important that the know-how involved in network marketing should be copied exactly.

When you are marketing your products in a global market, you need to know how to organize and operate your business as such that duplication is done down to the last detail. Though this is a big difficult task, it is necessary to ensure that the system created is stable that assured of forthcoming success to you as leader of your organization. This can be seen through the success of McDonald which enforced a good duplication scheme that led to the stability it enjoys now.

Another important point to be noted in having a successful network marketing system is conducting gathering. Network Marketers have different opinions on this subject. Some would not agree to it after undergoing bad experience. Some stays neutral as they are able to identify the positive and negative implications. For those who agree, they simply look at the positive environment during the gathering.

I’ve been attending such gathering every week until today. It depends on how you look at it. If you see it as a training ground where you can gather new knowledge, being updated of new marketing tools and products, giving you positive environment after facing rejections after rejections for the past 6 days, attending the weekly meeting is highly recommended.

Gathering is general. It can be a meeting, seminar, training, business opportunity and products presentation, etc. Conducting gatherings is one way to ensure that the duplication process goes in the correct directions. Again, it depends on how you understand it. Probably, you’ve experienced during certain training where the speaker or instructor will said something that can confused you. This is where duplication can never be exact, unless you ask.

Imagine you are a curious person by nature who is willing to learn new knowledge, from different speakers and instructors in different training centres. Having compiling all the notes, you start to consolidates it and comes up with your own version of doctrines and opinions. When this is passed down to your downlines, whatever they receive from you are all tainted because you deviated from the original training. The process is repeated for every person down the line and as such, the duplication process again can never be exact and accurate.

Duplicate the system not the people, because people can deviates but system stay.

Talk to you soon.
