3 STEPS -- GET YOUR NEXT RANK

We all have various types of goals in network marketing. We have 5yr goals, 1 yr goals, 1 month goals, weekly goals and so many other types of goals. But one of the most exciting things which network marketing provides is the various RANKS. And you don’t have to be dependent on any senior or the company to get ahead and achieve the next PIN RANK as you always know how many sales are required and there is no partiality. And I find that the people who are sharp and smart and who have got things going and have got the momentum, they are very focused on the next rank. They are always calculating the various ways of achieving the next rank – how many people they need to help to get to the next rank, how many various options they have, what do they need to do to get it done, etc. 

 

So, here is what I want you all to do. I want you to create a business plan around your next Rank Advancement using the following three simple steps:

        I.            Know what’s required for you to get to the next rank

      II.            What is your game-plan to get it done

    III.            What is your DEADLINE

v  What’s required for the RANK ADVANCEMENT

You need to find out how many sales you require exactly for getting to the next rank. Who are the important people to work with so that the advancement in their pin rank can help you advance as well! While you will do this calculation, you’ll find that you have got various options and thus this gives u a little bit of bargaining power which is also very important.

v  YOUR GAME PLAN

What’s your game plan specifically to achieve the target! This can be by organizing events, by taking care of the volume, home meetings, getting a large group of people to a big meeting, helping people way lower down in the genealogy to help in their rank advancements, etc. HAVE A GAME PLAN.

v  DEADLINE

There is something amazing about a deadline. There is something great about having to get something done before a deadline. That is the reason why there are so many rank advancements just before the company’s convention, because want to have a new rank when they have a get together. That deadline can be an event organized by you only or anything which is of importance as it will push you more.

So, all the best for you to get to the next rank as fast as possible. Keep growing and keep moving ahead.

Beware Of The Witch Hunt

In the past whenever a society faced any epidemic or a big problem, the reason was thought to be the effect of a devil or witch living amongst them. Thus the solution was to hunt the witch which usually ended up in killing of innocent women in the society. When the science developed and microscopes were invented, they realized that the real reason behind those epidemics and diseases were the unhygienic conditions which were prevailing amongst them. Moreover, some witch was never responsible for their dreadful situation. The question is then why did people thought about the witch being the reason for their problems? 

The answer to this question is in the simple fact that it is always easier to blame somebody else for your fault. Don’t worry if you do it, because humans in general have this habit in-built in them. It is really difficult to take responsibility of something which went wrong and only a few brave sole have been able to do so. But for becoming successful in network marketing one has to become responsible enough to take the responsibilities of the mistakes committed by himself or by any other as well because doing the witch hunt will neither add to your respect nor to your bank balance.

So, what to do when a situation arrives which has been the fault of other people. Immediately your response should be talking to yourself that how can you bail everybody out of this situation, how can you handle this better, how can I solve this problem!!  The problem with blaming somebody is that the moment you blame somebody for a problem you don’t have the control or rather you refuse to take control of the situation and thus your business. While when you take responsibility, you also take the charge of the situation as well as your business. And it’s always better to be in control rather than to be dependent on witch hunt!

TRADITIONS - HUGE BINDING FORCE

One  very important factor which binds together a group is the traditions which a group/organization follows. All the strongest organizations and families have traditions. What traditions do you have when somebody's rank advances? What traditions do you have when somebody hits a milestone? What traditions do you have when something of importance happens in your group?

Your company might have its traditions but you also need to think of traditions which your group follows!!

These traditions can be anything from cake cutting when somebody gets his first cheque to being honoured in front of everybody when somebody changes a tag. It can be giving the opportunity to the new Silver or Gold associate to be the new presentor or anything like this which gives them memories to keep with them. Because when tough times will come, people will stay with you because of those traditions. They'll become more resilient and will see through the tough phase with you.

“MONEY IS A BY- PRODUCT”

This goes out for everybody who is not making 1 lakh rupees a week, who are still in their jobs and working with network marketing on a part time basis. “DONOT FOCUS ON THE MONEY”. Money is always a by-product of something you do well. If you are a good at law – you’ll earn money; you are good at football- you’ll earn money; you are good at writing- you’ll make money. So it’s the skill set which makes you a rich man.

The problem with “money” being your motivation is that every business usually has a learning curve and most of the times you learn by failing and that failure teaches you a huge lesson – life long lesson. And the problem with failing is that while you fail – you don’t earn. And thus the motivation goes out for a stroll in the park and many times never comes back.

When your motivation is something other than money then you concentrate on getting yourself more and more skilled. And mind you, every skill is important-

·         Presentation

·         Calling people for a meeting

·         Promotion of an event

·         Giving training

·         Finding people to talk to

·         Prospecting

·         Following up

·         Closing a sale

·         Getting people started

Focus on skills. Don’t worry about your position, don’t worry about getting lucky, don’t worry about the money. The money will come but it will come after the skills.

 And trust me money will come- it always comes. Focus on developing your skills on a regular basis the way you go to learn playing a guitar or the way you go about learning swimming.

BUILDING MOMENTUM

It is always told that in network marketing one gets awesome results when the momentum is build and that produces wonders and unprecedented results. The question is –“How can we create this momentum deliberately?”  This certainly is a million dollar question and the answer lies in analyzing the success –another topic which I’ll be covering in another blog.

The buildup of momentum usually starts when a group of leaders (core group) take it upon themselves to produce one substantial result which is being recognized by other working associates. All of us working together know that there is certainly a lot of potential in this business and we also know or have met those people personally who have been earning plenty but somehow we don’t find ourselves in that league. It takes an act of leadership either by an individual or a group of closely knit leaders (part of a core group) to stand up and produce a result which is more than regular and is certainly recognized by everybody. Once that is done other associates or groups start believing in themselves for producing similar or better results as they have always kept themselves in the same league as the other individuals who have come out in flying colors in the same circumstances as them and this positive competition builds up the required momentum which brings the unified result and the group starts performing more and more as they crave the encouragement, appreciation and recognition.

We need to take care of another important thing we need to deliberately appreciate the new performance and create this sort of competition amongst associates. We are working with common people and common people die for recognition and appreciation and they get jealous really quickly as compared to other classes of people. And by jealousy I don’t mean to put it in negative sense. One of the famous hindi movie dialogue goes like this – “when a friend fails, we feel bad but when he tops while we underperform, this feels worse “. So this is an awesome management trick if used properly.

So in short – positive competition, public appreciation of the performing individuals starts building up of momentum!!!
