I was one of the million of Filipinos out there who tried working out MLM or multi level marketing also called Network Marketing in their pursue on financial freedom. Usually when people hear the word they are quickly referring to pyramiding scam and negative term etc etc.
Well the truth is not all mlm companies in the market are bad one. There are companies out there that are several years in the business that provide good training and company support. These are the things that will become useful later on.
Here are the things that can be improved once you started your own independent business.
1. Confidence - Probably at first time doing this business makes you feel excited and eventually after encountering several rejection and disappointment will worn you out. Here's the thing, probably at first time doing the business some key attitude and skills are not yet developed it maybe your mind setting, poor handling of emotion and lack of sales technique etc.
The first thing people should do is convince themselves that what they are offering are best out there in the market, believe that no matter if the client says no to you still client will say yes to you as long as you are doing the effort. Once you gain that confidence you'll now be ready to face your client. There's no successful person I know that who has no confidence on him self regardless of the industry he is in.
2. Convincing Power - This is also what I called persuasiveness. Once the confidence build up the more easier it works for you. There are people who came from irrelevant profession far from selling already has the natural skill of convincing people. Some people already acquired certain qualities and personality. I'm talking about their charm, sense of humor and good persistent attitude. In networking and also other sales industry these will be develop in continuous application.
3. Discipline - When you do have your own independent business people should establish their own system and activity that contributes to the growth of the business whether it's short term planning or long term. Once they establish on their daily activities and routine this will become habitual and soon it will be so natural that even you don't feel on doing so, you won't help yourself doing the necessary things and that one my friend is called discipline. Whether your not in the mood, weather is not favorable to you, people around you is against you no matter what unless you know what you're doing and it is necessary no one can stop you on doing so.
4. Opening mind for the door of opportunity - Once you started on your first company and even you failed at it. The experience in working at it is a real experience you'll carry. You may failed consecutive of times but the value in each of that trial will remain as lesson that soon carry you to what big things are awaiting for you. These people who tried network marketing has guts and will soon find a particular thing that works for them.
No matter what you experience in running an independent business like MLM or Networking the value of the experience is just one way of your journey to finding your own niche and financial freedom you pursue in.
