Network Marketing NEW SCHOOL RULES:: Start Smart with your Culture

i’m negative about the negatives!! while there are many aspects of the network marketing industry that i appreciate and enjoy, there are definitely some cultural negatives we need to work to overcome. now, it's important to understand that as you grow your organization, YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF THE CULTURE of your organization - that is, everyone in your downline. for the most part, regardless of the existing culture of the company you work with, you have the opportunity to create or re-create the culture for everyone you involve.

we (and by we i mean you) need to move forward with intentionality and consistent self-assessment in order to overcome (and root out) several of the popular negative stigmas associated with network marketing. if you’re going to build a successful NM business, you MUST garner and build a HISTORY of HONESTY and FAITHFULNESS as you build TRUSTING relationships.

“Honest weights and scales [are] the LORD’s; All the weights in the bag [are] His work.” Proverbs 16:11

here are the rules i’m trying to be mindful of as i grow my own business. they mostly relate to NOT GETTING CRAZY AND LYING to people about things related to your/the business!

The New School Rules of Network Marketing::

1. Lie not.

2. Resist the temptation to exaggerate. Practice ’rounding down’ vs. ’rounding up’.

3. Under promise, over deliver. This simple rule will set you apart from 90% of anyone selling anything. It’s the golden rule of customer service.

4. Never let your passion, excitement, or even desperation to succeed in your business blur your priorities. Now’s a good time to shore up what’s most important to you and assess your commitments. God, Family, Friends, Business.. however you line it up, it’s important to stay true to your priorities.

5. Let your ‘yes’ be your ‘yes’; keep your word.

6. Honor people. Promote an atmosphere of honor, respect, and love. Continue becoming a person of character.

7. Fact check. There are many statistics and figures that help communicate a business model and a company, just make sure you're quoting actual sources, not only other people you've heard mention random bits of info.

8. Avoid income projections, whether monthly or annual. People can extrapolate figures on their own. Stick to hard facts about income and don't forget rule 2 :) annnd rule 3.

“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of [those] whose heart [is] loyal to Him”
