Oqata Team Training - HOW OUR NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS REALLY WORKS.
Dear Team,
Do you have goals, desires, motivation, needs, vision boards? That’s not enough.
We need to deliver value in return for our commissions.
Our network marketing company does not pay commissions based on our efforts.
Our network marketing company does not pay commissions based on our needs.
Our network marketing company pays commissions based on results only.
This is NOT a job where we receive a paycheck for hours worked.
This is our own business. We receive commissions based upon our results.
Our network marketing company pays us on the value we bring to them through our customers. So it is all about results.
Here is the big picture.
A network marketing company can be in the nutrition business, the skincare business, the natural products business, the travel business, etc.
We (Distributors) are not part of the company.
We don’t work in customer service.
We don’t mail out invoices and bills.
We are not picking secret herbs underneath rocks in China at midnight with leprechauns to put them into a special formulation.
We don’t even put skincare creams inside the jars or apply the labels.
Therefore, our network marketing company does all of this for us.
They provide the website, brochures, and they can service customers without us. Plus, we don’t want to be part of our network marketing company, because this would be yet another job!
Our company can do everything except ... get people to make a “Yes” decision to buy.
So, our network marketing company partners with us and says, “We will do everything. Websites, customer service, manufacturing, billing ... everything.
This is our part of the agreement. Your part of the agreement as a distributor is to get people to make ‘Yes’ decisions to become customers.”
Breaking news.
So here it is. As network marketing distributors, our business is getting people to make “Yes” decisions to become customers.
We are in the decision-making business.
We are not in the skincare, wellness, services, or travel business. Once we understand that we have joined the decision-making business, we understand that we only get paid for “Yes” decisions.
Are you skeptical of this viewpoint that we are in the “Yes” decision business? Let’s ask ourselves these questions:
Is there a commission for us on people who almost bought our product?
Is there a commission for us when we hand out free samples?
Is there a commission for us for educating people about our product?
Is there a commission for us when people see our presentation and do not buy?
Is there a commission for us when people don’t take our phone calls?
Is there a commission for us when we work endless hours and don’t get “Yes” decisions?
Is there a commission for us when we throw skincare cream on the back of a person’s neck as she is running away?
Is there a commission for us when we invest in business cards and advertising, and drive endless miles to appointments that don’t work out?
Is there a commission for us when we make a list of 200 people that we are afraid to call?
Is there a commission for us because we “need” it?
Is there a commission for us when we put pictures on our vision board?
Is there a commission for us for not approaching potential customers?
Is there a commission for us on all the people we didn’t talk to?
The reality is this.
The only thing our network marketing companies pay us for is the only thing they want us to do ... and that is to get “Yes” decisions.
Once we know which business we are in (the business of getting “Yes” decisions), then the rest of this series training will be easy.
We will focus on what is important: getting “Yes” decisions.
I am sure we all sell wonderful products. But no matter how wonderful our products are, if customers don’t buy them, we don’t get paid.
If we want our wonderful products to help people, we have to get people to buy our wonderful products. Start our new career now.
Let’s move forward to our next training (How to instantly get rid of our fear of selling.) to remove any hesitation that we have about selling. We don’t want negative internal thoughts about selling to hold us back.
