Many successful networking companies have top earners to boast for. These people earn 6 to 7-figure incomes through the network alone, and many do join a network in the hopes of becoming one of them.
However, network marketers would know that the road towards a 6-figure income is very hard. Sometimes, months would pass by without any prospect at all. It makes you wonder how did these people even get to the top? What did they do to achieve such huge incomes?
These top earners will usually give tips and ideas for new networkers to try. However, there are 3 main things nowadays that these top earners will not let you know (or will deliberately leave out such details from you):
Traditional networking methods are becoming less effective by the day.
Yes, presentation meetings and scouting for prospects in public places like malls, schools, and restaurants will not work anymore. This used to be effective, but because of unscrupulous networkers, the strategy has left a bad mark to the public.
Imagine if you just approach a random person at the restaurant one day and talk about your business opportunity, you will be lucky if they actually spare some time to listen or even become a little interested in what you have to offer. Most of the time, you will simply get rejected rudely.
Remember that people would rather run errands or attend to their own personal business rather than talk to a complete stranger about some opportunity that they might not even understand right away.
The online prospecting tactics that most networking gurus teach you are actually annoying (and will get you reported on Social Media in most instances).
So the traditional meet and greet does not work anymore, so what do other networkers do? Take the strategy online. Meeting prospects online is actually more effective and less time-consuming than traditional methods, but if you are still going to communicate like the traditional way of prospecting, you will still get turned down rudely. Worse, you might be even reported for spamming.
Networking online gurus who teach you to aggressively follow, post, share, and message people about your networking opportunity are definitely not teaching you the proper way to network and prospect online – and this is also what top earners will not tell you.
Prospecting online is not like adding people and recruiting them aggressively in the business. If you want to do it the right way, what you need to do is to provide quality content and establish rapport. Aggressive and pushy tactics will not work anymore, what you need to establish is your authority and expertise in your networking niche.
If you cannot come up with an effective online strategy, you will be left behind.
Of course, if you are stubborn enough not to change your online prospecting strategies, you will eventually be left behind. You will lose prospects, and spend more time and resources on things that will not eventually pay off.
So what to do? Should you wait for a top earner to actually tell you about these things? Of course not! You can take the next big step yourself. Attend classes (online or offline), and listen to credible networkers who can teach you all about networking and attraction marketing.
Yes, you can start on lessons about attraction marketing and see how that could change your perspective in prospecting and recruitment! For starters, you can attend the No Excuses Summit X and learn from professional trainers and marketing coaches who found success in networking. These people will reveal their journey from making nothing for months (or years), and then hitting 7-figure incomes through quality prospecting, recruiting, selling and team-building strategies.
