How many of us joined a network marketing program expecting to earn 10,000 dollars a month within the first few months? Is it any wonder then that most people feel that it is some form of a scam.
Are these classic examples of unrealistic expectations:• I have no experience with network marketing, I want to sign-up 100 people within the next 90 days.•
I’m just starting and want to earn $100,000.00 a year within the next 12 months.Maybe they are and then again maybe they’re not. So How can we set realistic expectations for the growth of our business?
Start with what you know that you can achieve on your own.
What do I mean by what you can achieve, how many people have you sponsored into your business within the last 30 days, 60 days or 90 days?
How many new customers have you acquired for your products and services in the last 30 days, 60 days or 90 days?
This is probably the most over looked item when choosing a company to work with. You will need to know just how your company pays you. Is most of your income derived from the deeper levels within your organization or is most of it paid to you directly as it should be?
The reason I bring this up is that quite a few companies place the income in areas that I would call almost unobtainable many levels deep. This really makes it tough to determine your projected income because it is based on the work of others over which you have no control.
We need to work from a plan that is based on what we can realistically accomplish. If I want to make X then I need to acquire X amount of customers.
Ok What about your downline? Well if you take the approach that anything they accomplish is just icing on the cake so to speak.
Tracking is important to reaching your goals.
With out tracking, how can you tell if your on track to reaching your goals? Remember all those useless reports that you had to fill out at work well guess what maybe now you’ll begin to see the justification in them.
When we talk about tracking it can cover many areas of our business from the number of dials it takes to close a customer to the cost of ads to bring in one customer or new business partner.
