Most people in Network Marketing are completely focused on promoting their companies but I want to share with you why this is a mistake and why it's important to Brand You - Yourself.
When someone is new to the industry they are given this illusion that if that just hand out the materials that the company provides their business is going to grow. How many times have you heard, "let the tools do the selling"? There's a problem with this strategy and it's rarely brought up in discussions. It is easy to pin-point this issue by putting yourself in the place of your prospect.
So why is it important to develop the brand You Inc. (if you will call it that). It's critical because the prospect is sitting across the table, or on the other side of the computer and asking themselves two questions:
1) Does this offering provide a solution to some problem I have?
2) Do I think you can help me get what that is?
That's it! If you satisfy these two questions you will have a new customer or business partner. How am I so certain that these are the questions people ask? Well chances are the product or service that you are offering can be provided by hundreds if not thousands of other people. So it comes with an understanding that people purchase things from other people they like and trust.
So as you build on your customer base and distributor team, people will follow you or do the things you say to do because they resonate with your brand. So as you are developing the brand called You, understand that this involves most things that you do. See, you can pressure someone to make the purchase on the spot but most network marketing businesses rely on having repeat purchases. So this is why it's important for your customers and business partners understand who you are and what you represent. This is your brand.
As you are thinking of ways that you can develop the brand called You, realize that it is easiest to just be yourself. If you are building a relationship with people that will last for years, you want to start off authentic. This will make building your business much more enjoyable.
