Seven Steps to Building a Network Marketing Business Speed is the name of the game in building a network marketing business; fast and consistent beats slow and steady any day. Not only should you quickly build up your team of reps, but you must also build up both your business skills and those of your teammates.
2. Present at Least Once a Day Second to inviting, this is the most important thing you can do to build up your organization quickly. Schedule presentations at a convenient time and a convenient place. For efficiency, try as much as possible to present to groups of people, not just one or two. To do this, try to invite companies or entire organizations. Even if you don’t get anyone to join right then, you can at least let them know about your business and how to contact you when they’re ready to make a choice.

3. Talk to Your Upline Building a network marketing business that is successful is a team sport. While you own and control your business, it helps to approach those who’ve been doing it longer to ask for some advice. Just take them out for coffee and pick their brain.
Building a network marketing business that is successful is a team sport If your direct upline doesn’t have a lot of wisdom to offer, try a higher level upline, or even a National Sales Rep. You’ll be surprised on the kind of help you’ll get. After all, your upline has a vested interest in your success!
4. Know Your Product and Business Thoroughly Be sure you can recite your product’s benefits flawlessly, as your knowledge (or lack of it) will influence how your clients see you. Be sure you know how the business works from top to Speed is the name of the game in building a network marketing business; fast and consistent

Think of yourself as a woodcutter – as you go on, at some point you have to sit down and sharpen your axe. Training makes you better at what you do.
6. Meet With Your Downline Regularly As often as once a week, to keep in touch and help them with their own business goals. For efficiency, meet with them as a group and try to keep things to an hour at most. When your downline feels supported, they are more likely to work towards building up their organization – which can only help you in the long run. This is the concept of “driving the line”: helping your downlines build up their people.
7. Be Your Own Client Meaning – use the products or services yourself! The more you do so, the more familiar you become with them, making it easier to explain their benefits to your prospects. It’s the easiest way to get to know your product, and at the same time, you get your own testimonials on how they benefitted you. Being your own client gives you the credibility to convince other people that it can help them too. One last thing – when building a successful network marketing business always have the attitude that you are conducting BIG business. People will want to work with someone who has a great vision for what they want to achieve and the confidence to get there. Adopting this “can-do” attitude will bring you that much closer to success.
