A Little Wisdom About Systems......

Hope you all had a great day! It was sunny here and in the 40's so it was a great day. I was able to take the kids outside and build our first snowman for the winter. The snow was finally sticky! I have to admit this Minnesota winter is getting loooooong. Spring is coming!

Anyway I wanted to share a great email I received from my mentor Daegan Smith. Daegan is a true internet network marketing genius so take some time to gleam a little knowledge from the wisdom he shares......

Principles Of Successful Network Marketing Systems

If you've been out there as a network
marketer online for any length of time you've
probably seen several different systems being
used by different leaders and different
companies.

In fact it can be quite confusing with all
the different options out there.

And the obvious question comes to mind . . .

Which system is the best?

To tell the truth, I couldn't tell you which
system is the best. The reason that one
system works great for one company may well,
if transposed to another company, a huge
failure.

We tend to think in polar opposites as
humans.

We always want to know who's the best at this
and who's the best at that or what's the best
system for this or what's the best system for
that when in reality the world we live in
isn't filled with just black and white -
right or wrong.

Let's take a few second to go through a few
principles about systems.

1. The simpler the better
2. The more focused to YOU the better
3. The higher the price the more human touch

The first principle is pretty self
explanatory.

The simpler the system the easier it will be
for someone new to pick up and duplicate.

Network marketing is all about duplication
and the more complicated the process of
duplication is made the slower it will occur
if at all.

If you were to create your own system make
sure you keep it as simple as possible and
you will greatly increase the chances that
that system will be successfully duplicated
down your genealogy.

The second principle may need a little more
explanation.

Out there in the world of network marketing
there are internal systems and external
systems created.

The internal systems are our company's
marketing systems and tools. We as
distributors have little control over these
so it's important that you choose a strong
internal system from the outset if you really
want to give yourself a head start in
creating success.

If you choose to use an external system for
your team make sure that it's focused and
branded to you at NOT some guru type.

Why?

There MUST be continuity between your system
and you or you risk creating confusion and
ambiguity.

There are two situations that I've come
across out there online to lookout for that
you should be weary of if you decide on using
a system that you do not create yourself.

The system that is completely guru centeric - a
system to build them and not you

If you have a system that is NOT tightly
focused around you then it becomes a system
for systems sake.

That's not what you want.

Let's move on . . .

The system with two many business to join

These are the systems where they claim
everything is free and they lead you down a
path of join X business first then Y business
second and so on because that's all part of
the SYSTEM.

First off, a system like this is not simple
so it violates principle #1 and requires too
many steps to be completed successfully so
your prospects probability of successfully
completing all the steps involved in
decreased and duplication dies.

Secondarily, there's really no reason for it
as it doesn't help you really focus your
efforts on building YOUR business.

I'll say it and I'll say it again.

Focus on your one business, put all your eggs
in that basket. Only after you max out the
comp plan should you consider joining another
business, but when you're making $50,000 a
month why would you even want to?

I've seen these sites where they promote
joining one business after the other and the
honest truth is they make work for the first
year or two and make the creators of the
system a good deal of cash, but they have
always failed in the long run because of
their lack of focus.

Make sure your system is simple and focused.

The last idea to share is just that the
higher the price of your company's product or
service the more human touch you are going to
need to incorporate into your system for it
to work.

For high ticket items, over $1000, that human
touch doesn't necessarily have to be
something you do personally but it must be
part of the system.

That's it.

The bottom line is . . .

Systems work and will work for you, just be
sure your system holds to the principles
above.

To the top,
