Network Marketing Basics
By Kurt Mortensen
What is network marketing and what can it do for me?
Network marketing is a brilliant and explosive marketing concept. For someone motivated and willing to put in the time, effort, and persistence needed to achieve his or her financial goals, network marketing can provide:
a second income on a part-time basis
complete financial independence possible with commitment and perseverance
work from home
time freedom
travel opportunities
excellent tax advantages
a great opportunity for personal growth
a positive, supportive environment in which to work
What network marketing is not an illegal pyramid scheme which pays commissions to people to recruit other people
a "Get Rich Quick" scheme
a company with a high up-front entrance fee to join
a company without a retail product or service
In order to succeed, you need to commit to your chosen company for at least one year, and to read about the products and about the industry. Listen to the advice of those who've made it and work closely with your upline. Work consistently and methodically. Persevere through down time. Don't give up. As in al sales work, network marketing is a numbers game. You have to contact many more people than you'll ever sell products to or recruit. But take heart! With experience it gets easier and easier. You are building an organization in which many people work together, and you are earning an income based on the training and personal sales of many people, each contributing a part of the whole. Building that group is up to you. It takes commitment, perseverance through failures, time, and effort. And it means moving out of your "comfort zone." But high achievers earning in excess of $100,000 per year in this industry are recognized and well known.
And they came into the business at the bottom, with the same opportunity as you or I have. The only difference is that the Mark Yarnells, Collette Van Reusens, Jan Ruhes, and the Don Faillas of the industry have aimed high and worked long and hard building their downline to get there. But they started as you can, with an investment of maybe a few hundred dollars in products, phone bills and prospecting materials.

He teaches that sales have changed and the consumer has become exponentially more skeptical and cynical within the last five years. Most persuaders are using only 2 or 3 persuasion techniques when there are actually 120 available! His message and program has helped thousands and will help you achieve unprecedented success in both your business and personal life.
