Forever Living distributors: Are you determined to creating a big business? If so, dig into this article now.

You have to learn how to market- like a REAL business!
Read the rest of this article to learn several strategies top 2% earners are using to build large and lucrative businesses:
- Market Effectively
Like any established business, you must market to generate sales. Network marketers in companies such as Forever Living are taught a lot about how to network, but almost nothing about how to market.
Purchasing leads and business cards, and setting up your company-provided replicated website seems like marketing. These are just marketing tools, and some are not very effective. There are a few parts to a marketing strategy:
Target The Right People: Who is your target market for your Forever Living opportunity? Entrepreneurs? People who are in dire need of money? I recommend you target other network marketers who are looking for a better way to build their business. These people understand the business model and won't ask silly questions such as, Is this a pyramid? People in network marketing have signaled they are willing to put a monthly product purchase onto their credit card.
Adopt A Compelling Position: Thousands of people are promoting Forever Living. Why should anyone sign up with you? Decide what sets you apart and communicate that to the marketplace.
Promotion Strategy: How will you generate leads once you have approached all your family and friends about Forever Living? Learn direct response online marketing tactics that produce leads.
Follow-Up: Once you generate a lead, how will you follow up? To follow up, call your leads, and add them to an automated email follow up system.
- Marketing Is More Critical Than Duplication
Traditionally, network marketers in opportunities like Forever Living are taught to keep their business-building activities extremely simple and duplicable by others Marketing Is More Critical Than Duplication Traditionally, network marketers in companies such as Forever Living are taught to keep their business-building activities extremely simple and duplicable by others in their downline.
Does this keep everything duplicable strategy actually work? For a very small percentage of marketers, this strategy is effective. But for the masses of network marketers in companies like Forever Living, keeping all the activities in their business simple will NOT necessarily promote duplication.
To prove this to you, look at these stats:
- Only about 20% of network marketers in Forever Living ever sponsor anyone at all.
- Of those that do sponsor people, most will only sponsor 2-3 people total.
- The remaining 80% of your Forever Living downline won't ever do a darn thing.
The keep-everything-duplicable strategy that network marketers in Forever Living are taught (like some ancient gospel) actually only causes 20% of the people to sponsor anyone...and they tend to sponsor a tiny number of people!
Keeping everything you do duplicable will NOT maximize your Forever Living income and it also creates problems few talk about. The most popular tactic to keep things simple is warm market recruiting, making a list of friends and family and then prospecting them to try to get them to join Forever Living.People promote this strategy not because it's the most effective tactic, but because it's the simplest.
This strategy can actually lead to people quitting Forever Living. Once people run out of others to talk to within the first 30-90 days, they will often quit Forever Living because they have NO CLUE how to perform the one activity they must rely on to build a business: advertising and marketing to generate consistent lead flow. The second problem this friends and family approach creates is it repels high caliber prospects. Ideal prospects for a Forever Living business, people with transferable skills and large personal and professional networks such as real estate professionals, professional salespeople, and other business people tend NOT to want to approach family and friends about their opportunity. Many professionals want to protect their reputation and do NOT want to introduce their friends and colleagues to an opportunity that they just got started with such as Forever Living.
So should you begin by approaching friends and family about your Forever Living business? Without a doubt. But unless you learn at least one rock solid marketing and advertising approach, you will run out of people to talk to. Your best prospects are likely going to want to market their business professionally, not pester friends at cocktail parties. Learn how to market your business on the Internet, and you can attract extremely high caliber Forever Living prospects who want to learn the same. If just a handful of people also learn to market Forever Living online, you could experience massive growth in your Forever Living business, without relying heavily on the friends and family approach.""
- Spend Time with Entrepreneurial People
Building a Forever Living business is unlike having a job. Rather than depending hopelessly on a job to make you rich, you're building a long term enterprise.
After a while, almost no one is going to understand what the heck you're doing. And then you'll start hearing all sorts of ridiculous comments:
- So how's the business? You get rich yet?
- When are you going to stop wasting your time on that silly thing?
- You're doing one of those pyramid things! Ha!
This is employee mindset. Do not allow your mentality to be influenced by these ignorant comments. Make sure you drastically limit the amount of time you spend around people who don't understand what you're doing. You'll gain friendships and have more fun.
Go and connect with other networkers. Attend regional and national training events for Forever Living reps. Seek out and meet some of the top earners in your Forever Living opportunity or other companies. They are often energetic, support people.
Reach out to other networker through Facebook. Never lead with your Forever Living venture. Keep it real, and just have conversations. Take the average income of the 5 or 6 people you hang out with the most. That's what your income will look like. Select the people you associate with very carefully.
