Owning a business has a call for certain ways, means and methods. This is true for a normal “brick and mortar” business and also home based network marketing businesses.
The entrepreneur who starts the business has a better chance of success if they have certain characteristics.
In this post, I am going to share 7 characteristics of successful network marketers.
If you look deep and find that you are weak in any of these areas, I suggest you do what need be to strengthen that area and you will find yourself having better results with both sales and recruiting.
Characteristics Of Successful Network Marketers #1: Discipline
Just think… If say, a barber shop owner decided that he would just open and close at whatever hours he felt like working, what would happen?
Not knowing the hours, potential customers would find a reliable barber that they know will be open certain days and hours.
In network marketing, you need to have self discipline too. You have scheduled times for prospecting, presenting, following up and training. Self discipline says that even on those days when you do not “feel” like doing one of these tasks, you do it anyway.
Do remember, your downline is also watching you and if you exhibit self discipline, they will too.
Characteristics Of Successful Network Marketers #2: Confident
It should never be a question if you can succeed; you should know deep down that if you do the work, you WILL succeed!
Having confidence in yourself and your abilities is an absolute characteristic that will lead to great things for you, your family and your business.
Characteristics Of Successful Network Marketers #3: Persistent
The successful network marketer keeps striving forward. Even if he/she gets 40 rejections, they talk to #41.
Persistence pays if use it!
Characteristics Of Successful Network Marketers #4: Self-Motivated
This characteristic falls hand in hand with self discipline.
You cannot expect outside sources to motivate you. You need to have that motivation within. We have written many posts on ways to keep yourself motivated.
Use our tips and strategies and you will find yourself headed down the success highway.
Characteristics Of Successful Network Marketers #5: Creative
Being creative is the sure sign of someone who has good odds of success. Creative does not mean it has to be something so advanced as the iPhone or the Slinky. It can be something simple like designing a cool t-shirt with your brand logo and a message enticing people to ask you what it is about. Or having a creative elevator speech that makes people smile and be attracted to you.
Just pull out your creative side and you will probably surprise yourself.
Characteristics Of Successful Network Marketers #6: A Willingness To Take Risks
I have yet to meet a successful entrepreneur who was not willing to take risks.
Now do not get me wrong, when I say risks, they are measured risks that have strong potential for a good outcome. But the only way to truly have success is to jump in with some risk, because that is the only way you can have the satisfaction of success.
Characteristics Of Successful Network Marketers #7: Hard Worker
This last one in this list is an absolute MUST!
Really, the only road to success in nearly any area of life requires hard work.
I hear of some who join a company and have the impression they can sit at home watching reruns of Little House on the Prairie and not spend any time doing the tasks to build their business. And then they expect they will make money.
Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way.
As a matter of fact, if you know of something in this world that will allow you to make good money without any work, please share it with us. I have yet to find anything that will do so.
Conclusion
If you have these 7 characteristics, you are on the path to a successful network marketing business. You may run into some detours or roadblocks, but you have the “right stuff” to overcome them all.
