How to be a Successful NETWORKER!

PART 3
The Notification Principle (by: Art Jonak)

Let's face it. When we decide to talk to strangers instead of our
warm market of contacts, we're saying to ourselves:

"I don't believe in me."

"I don't believe in my opportunity"

"I don't believe in my product"

"I'm too ashamed to talk to my friends"

"I don't think this opportunity is a good deal for
others."

"I'm worried about what my friends will think of me."

"I'm afraid that my friends will not join and that I'll feel rejected."

"What if my program fails? I better make certain
that I only sign up strangers who don't know me."

"What if I fail? I wouldn't want my friends and
family to know that I even tried."

If we decide to keep our opportunity a top secret from our
friends and family, is that fair to them? No.


Our Single Obligation as Networkers

Most distributors are not duds, nor are they lazy. However, they
will avoid anything that involves rejection. Why not turn the
exercise into something that your distributor wants to do? What
if you told your new distributor, "You don't have to ask anyone
on your list to join your network marketing business or even ask
them to buy product"?

Not asking people to join your
business is rejection-proof.

PART 4
The Notification Principle (by: Art Jonak)

Even before we read our distributor kit, before we start
improving our presentation, before we start working on
ourselves and self-image or asking our sponsor about mailing
lists or ads, before anything else, we must first fulfill our one
and only obligation in network marketing.

What is that obligation?
First, our job is to educate others about our products and
services, and about the residual income possibilities of network
marketing.

Once our prospects are educated
with the facts, it is up to them to
decide what is best for them.

Our job is not to convince our prospects to buy from us or join.
Network marketing is not high-pressure selling, convincing,
manipulating, cold-calling, or coercing! Networking is simply
giving prospects an additional choice in their lives, and allowing
them to accept that choice if it helps them get what they want.
That's our job—educating our prospects. That's what we do as
professional networkers.

But that's not our one big obligation. When I sponsor a new
distributor I say this and these:

"You are not obligated to make lots of retail sales. Sure, it would
be nice, but it's not mandatory.

"You are not obligated to buy lots of products and services.
Again, that would be nice, but you are not obligated to do so.

"You are not obligated to harass your friends to come to
opportunity meetings.

"You are not obligated to go the company convention.

"You are not obligated to give recruiting presentations every
night of the week.

"You are not even obligated to return my phone calls!"

PART 5
The Notification Principle (by: Art Jonak)

Wow! Now my new distributor is excited. He is thinking: "This is
a great opportunity. I'm not obligated to do any of those things.
But wait, he said there was an obligation. Just one obligation.
So what is that obligation?"

Yes, we have only a single obligation to fulfill. Everything else in
network marketing is optional. What is that obligation in our
business?

We must notify our friends, relatives,
neighbors and co-workers that we
have decided to start our own part-time
network marketing business.

That's it. There's nothing more to our obligation. You see:

We don't have to sell our friends on our products or services.

We don't have to sponsor our neighbors into our network
marketing business.

We don't have to invite our co-workers to opportunity meetings.

We don't even have to explain our business or products if our
relatives don't ask us for more information.

I repeat:
Our only obligation is to notify our
friends, relatives, neighbors and coworkers
that we have decided to start
our own part-time network marketing
business.

You mean we don't have to learn fancy presentations or
constantly try to show our program to unwilling relatives? Yes!
Exactly.

PART 6
The Notification Principle (by: Art Jonak)

This is great news for beginning network marketers. We don't
have to give presentations to our contacts unless they
specifically ask us for such a presentation. We don't have to
push or sell products to the unwilling. We don't need to make
intrusive sales pitches during wedding receptions or family gettogethers.

Uplifting, isn't it? Network marketing isn't so complicated after
all. Our full-time job is educating prospects and letting them
make their own decisions. It's nice to get that burden off our
shoulders.

Why is informing our contacts that
we have started our own networking
business so important?

Because we never want them to tell us:

"You never told me about your business."

If we simply announce that we are in network marketing, many
of our contacts will nod their heads and say, "That's nice." And
that's okay.

If they were interested, they could ask us for more information
or attend an opportunity meeting. If they're not interested, we
can go on with our lives, knowing that they were given a chance
to get the full story—just by asking us for it.

Some of our contacts will say: "Hey, I'm not excited about my
job either. I want a little more time with my family, too. Tell me
a little bit about this networking business, would you?" And
that's okay. We can then give them as much information as they
desire.

PART 7
The Notification Principle (by: Art Jonak)

The Consequences of Neglecting to Notify

If you don't fulfill your obligation to notify your personal
contacts... terrible things could happen.

Imagine that you have been a part-time network marketer for
the past six months. Your regular job paid your monthly
expenses, so you were able to save all those extra monthly
bonus checks and now have enough money to take that dream
vacation to Tahiti.

As you enter the Air Tahiti 747 airplane, you think, "It was a
great decision to do a little network marketing on the side. If my
business continues to improve, I'll be taking one of these nice
vacations every three months! Thank goodness my buddy told
me about this network marketing opportunity."

When you arrive in Tahiti, you're taken to a glamorous beach.
Gentle ocean waves help you relax in your hammock while the
resort's staff delivers your favorite tropical beverage. The music
is soothing. The wind is refreshing. You can smell the barbecue
teriyaki chicken on the grill just a few feet away. Aaaahh! It
doesn't get any better than this.

But wait! You spot a small dot on the horizon, and it appears to
be moving. The dot continues to grow. It's moving towards you.
You realize that the dot is actually a person dragging an old
blanket behind him.

Soon that person walks right up to your hammock, spreads his
old blanket on the sand, and plops down to catch some sun
rays. You look down at the figure on the blanket and suddenly
realize that this person is your... next door neighbor!

What a coincidence! You're both surprised to see each other.
You ask, "How come you're here enjoying a nice holiday?"

Your next door neighbor's face droops. His brow wrinkles and he
sadly mumbles, "Well, you know I live a miserable life. I have to
keep three jobs going just to pay the rent for our family. I'm in
debt up to my ears. My car loan is overdue. There is no chance
to advance in my job. I don't have a penny to my name. I'm
doomed! So, I thought I might as well take a three-day holiday
just once in my life, in order to have that single pleasant
memory before I die. To get here, I maxed out all five of my
credit cards, but what the heck.

[smurkydad]

PART 8
The Notification Principle (by: Art Jonak)

What about you? How come you're here?"

Now comes the moment of truth. You say, "I got started in my
own part-time networking business about six months ago. It's
really great. I get paid for just letting people know about it. I
saved up the last few bonus checks and here I am. This parttime
business is so good, I'm thinking about taking another
week's holiday here in three months. I tell you, this business is
more than great! It's awesome. In fact, it's so wonderful that
I... uh, uh... uh, I forgot to tell you about this, didn't I?"

Don't you think it is a little bit unfair
not to tell your personal contacts
about this great business?

How would you feel if your neighbor quit his job, took family
holidays every two months, and never told you about his secret
good fortune—while you slaved away at a job you hated?

Here's another unfortunate scenario you could face if you fail to
notify. You're at your cousin's second wedding. That evening,
you find yourself sitting at one of the dinner tables with about
twelve other guests. You notice your aunt, who at this point has
had a bit too much free champagne, sitting at the same table.
She's dominating the conversation, and to your surprise, one of
the first things out of her mouth as she sits down is: "I just
joined this great home-based business last month called
Chocolate is My Friend and I'm doing great!"

You can't believe it, you joined Chocolate is My Friend over a
year ago and never once asked your aunt to join or even let her
know that you got involved!

But it gets worse. She then proceeds to go around the table
asking each person if they'd heard of Chocolate is My Friend.
She's prospecting your warm market.

You begin to sweat—not only are you angry about the fact that
she could've been in your group had you only notified her when
you got involved. What are you going to say when she asks you
if you've heard of Chocolate is My Friend? Are you going to say,
"Yes, I've heard of Chocolate is My Friend, actually I joined over
a year ago but I didn't think you would ever do the business, so
I never let you know about it."

[smurkydad]

PART 9
The Notification Principle (by: Art Jonak)

If that wasn't bad enough, three months later you're at your
company's national convention. With each passing hour you get
more and more excited about all the new announcements. The
distributor recognition event begins. The higher the pin level the
more admiration you feel for those walking across the stage.

All of sudden you hear your aunt's name over the convention
sound system. Could it be your aunt? Nah, must be someone
else with the same name. You look up on stage and... and it is
your aunt, in all her glory walking across the stage to accept her
new triple-platinum executive pin. As you stare at her in awe,
you notice her wink directly at you!

Life's not fair! You've been in the business a year longer, yet
she's the one on stage five pin levels higher than you! Why is
she on stage while you're sitting in the nose-bleed section
struggling just to get to the next pin level? For the next hour
you zone out and make up dozens of different reasons justifying
to yourself why she's on stage and you're not. "She got lucky
and probably signed up three leaders in her first month! She
has more time to build her business... she must have a better
sponsor than I do... it's easier to build the business once you
are at the higher pin levels... the people at the corporate office
like her better than me... she's more outgoing than I am... it's
okay if it takes me ten years longer than my aunt to get to the
top, after all I'm at least ten years younger so we'll be even....
she's got a better house for home meetings and a better TV to
show the company video on."

The bottom line is that she notified everyone in her warm
market—and you didn't. She also makes sure every leader in
her group goes through the notification process.

No matter what else you do in your
business, if you aren't using notification,
odds are your business isn't growing as fast as you'd like it to be.

PART 10
The Notification Principle (by: Art Jonak)

Like I said—if you don't fulfill your obligation to inform your
personal contacts... terrible things could happen.

Remember, we must give our personal contacts the opportunity
to ask us for more information. We don't have to force our
presentation on them. We don't have to high-pressure them to
become distributors. All we have to do is give them additional
information if they ask for it.

Reality Check
Now let's take a look at notification another way. Let's imagine
you opened a shoe store in a mall. Wouldn't you notify everyone
you know that you've opened your own shoe store?

Of course you would.

You wouldn't pressure them to come and buy shoes that day.
You wouldn't take some boxes of shoes with you to sell at
Thanksgiving dinner, and you wouldn't be passing out shoe
samples at funeral receptions, would you?

You'd simply notify everyone you
know that you've opened your own
shoe store. Then, when the time was
right for them to purchase shoes,
they'd contact you.

It's the same way in our business. Not everyone is ready to
start their own part-time business today. Maybe tomorrow.
Maybe next year. But for most of your contacts, today is not the
day.

If your daughter was getting married, would you notify
everybody you know about the wedding or would you first invite
them to an opportunity meeting where you'd explain the
wedding to them?

[smurkydad]

PART 11
The Notification Principle (by: Art Jonak)

Out of every 100 people in your warm
market right now, 10-15 of them are
seriously looking for an additional
way to make an extra paycheck every
month.

However, in most cases you never get the 10-15 people to raise
their hands letting you know they are hot prospects! Why? In
most cases your new distributor will only contact the first 5-10
people on their list. By that point, they've already gotten
enough rejection to last them for the next five years. They will
never get through the entire list to find the 10-15 excited
prospects.

So, when you sit down and ask your new distributor to write
down the names of everyone in their warm market, share the
notification principle with them first. Share with them what
could happen if they don't notify everyone in their warm
market. That way, instead of having them lean backwards
fighting you every step of the way, they will lean forward and be
eager to write down the name of everyone they know!
