Become obsessed with your own goals to see results in network marketing. It is the type of career
that you have to constantly be involved with and thinking of. Networking marketing does not run itself; you have to run your market. Keep your goals always in mind and you will keep working towards them.
Create a weekly training for your team and follow through with it every week. It doesn't have to be a huge involved thing every week. It is more about being consistently in touch with them and providing them the information they need to sell more successfully. To your downline, you are the expert so make sure you show them that.
Try to avoid making promises to yourself in network marketing. While it is important to look ahead and envision a large market, setting unrealistic goals will bring about a real sense of failure, if you do happen to fail to meet them. Inevitably, most promises we make with ourselves are unrealistic, so try to avoid them altogether.
Some one-on-one time with your potential customers might really come in handy if they have some questions for you. Especially if what you're selling requires a large investment. Treating them to lunch and discussing a little bit of business might just provide the nudge necessary for them to join your team.
Ask your friends and family for a recommendation for a good accountant. Your network marketing business is going to have a lot of issues come income tax time that you might not expect.

Did you know that if you buy a new computer you can claim it on your income tax as an asset of your network marketing business? I upgrade my computer yearly and deduct the cost on my income tax.

Your downline is an essential resource of information, so don't forget about them once they sign up under you. If you see that someone in your downline is making huge profits, ask them for advice!

Invest in a good haircut to make yourself look more presentable. Furthermore, make sure your clothes give off a look of respectability.

When paying for something to eat or drink at a meeting with a potential lead, use a credit card. Flashing cash isn't actually all that attractive, but a nice gold or platinum credit card can be!

Create notecards that you can leave in public places to draw interest in your network. If you place cards in high-traffic areas, such as ATMs, that direct people to your website or a recorded phone message, explaining how your network can benefit them, you may see an immediate response. The cards are easy and cheap to make and you already have the website, so there's nothing to lose.
