How GoalTrends.com Can Help You Build A Successful Network Marketing Business!

Are you struggling to build a successful business?

People struggle for months doing all the necessary activities to build a network marketing business. They then get a small paycheck and come to the conclusion that “this business doesn’t work.” They quit that business, start another opportunity and the cycle continues. For some people this goes on for years!

It’s not that the business itself doesn’t work. The problem is what you are doing isn’t working. The secret to success in network marketing or any business for the matter is to find out what works and do that and find out what doesn’t work and don’t do that.

GoalTrends.com helps you to do exactly that. By using our system to track your activity, you will be able to know exactly what you are doing that’s making you money and what you are doing that’s costing you money.

Here are three major benefits that GoalTrends provides for network marketing professionals looking to build a successful business:

+ It shows you exactly what you are doing in your business.
+ It shows you what activities in your business will make you money.
+ It helps you to receive more effective coaching in your business. Your leaders can only help you effectively if they know exactly what you are doing in your business and GoalTrends allows you to provide them with accurate information so they can advise you accordingly.

Successful network marketers focus their time and efforts on the right activities. These activities are the ones that drive their business. Anything else is just a waste of time. By using the GoalTrends system, you’ll know exactly what those activities are, how often you do them and even be able to chart your performance so you can increase your effectiveness in network marketing.

So what is GoalTrends.com?
GoalTrends.com has a built in software that allows you to break down your entire network marketing business into individual activities. These activities are the key to building a successful network marketing business. By tracking these activities on a regular and consistent basis, you will be able to discover what your weaknesses are, improve them, increase your income and make your dreams a reality through network marketing.

You see, what holds most network marketing distributor’s back is the fact that they don’t track their activity. Therefore, when they ask for help, leaders have no option but to resort to generic advice like “talk to more people.”

For instance, let’s say you invited 15 people to your local opportunity meeting this week and no one showed up. The problem isn’t that no one showed up. The problem is that no one showed up out of 15 invites. This demonstrates a weakness in your inviting process.

So what’s the secret to the GoalTrends system for network marketers?
The secret is the ability to use the tracking software on our web site combined with our point system that we have developed. Each activity necessary for success is assigned a point value based on how important that activity is to your business.

For example, the most effective activity that you can participate in is attending a training event with a new distributor in your organization. This is because it allows you to duplicate your efforts. We give you 5 points (the highest available) in the system for this action.

On the other hand, one of the least effective actions that you can take to build your business is to send an email to someone you know letting them know that you are in business. We give you only .02 points for that, but a lot of emails can add up and help you to be successful. By spending your time and effort on the activities we suggest through GoalTrends, you will make sure you are being productive in your network marketing business.

So how do you implement the GoalTrends.com system? Here are the action steps:
The first step is to open an account by visiting http://www.goaltrends.com. Next, create all activities (tasks) in the “My Account” section of the website. You will need to do this manually for each and every one of all 12 activities listed below, one-by-one. In addition, you should also tick your weekly target (your goals for the week) for each activity.

The first and most important activity type is the activity of personal development. You can only earn the type of income that you have developed yourself to be able to earn. If you want to increase your income, you must first increase your attitude.

There are two activities that you should include and track in the area of personal development. They are…

#1. Goal Setting: Goal setting isn’t just writing down your goals and never looking at them again. Goal setting is looking at your goals daily, reviewing them and making changes as necessary. A super serious networker does this twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. You get 1 point each time you do this, so if you do it twice a day, you should accumulate 2 points a day.

#2. Training: There are a number of opportunities for training in a network marketing business. Your company or up-line organization likely holds trainings in your local market. The company often has regional or national seminars. There are also trainings that you can attend outside of your company. For every hour of training you participate in assign yourself 1 point.

The second type of activity required for success is prospecting. These are activities that allow you to fill your funnel with prospects for you to share your products and business opportunity with. We have identified four effective prospecting activities for a network marketing business.

#3. Direct Mail: Direct mail is an effective marketing strategy when you are sharing it with people you already know and have a relationship with (your warm market). For every promotional letter, business card, post card or email you send to people you know, give yourself .02 points. So for every 50 sent, you will accumulate 1 point.

#4. Advertisement: An advertisement is any promotion that you run to inform people that you don’t know about your products or business opportunity (your cold market). You can advertise on the internet, in a magazine or newspaper, on radio or on television. Each day you run an advertisement give yourself 2 points.

#5. Meeting New People: Network marketing is a relationship business and meeting new people to build relationships with is one of the best activities you can do. Give yourself 1 point for each new person you meet, regardless of whether you talk about your products, your business opportunity or just introduce yourself to that person in general.

#6. Phone Dials: Most successful leaders in your company know how important it is to make phone calls on a regular and consistent basis. For every dial you make to a prospect regardless of whether they pick up the phone to answer or not, give yourself 1 point. Dials can include dials made to prospects for the first time, follow-ups, dials to book an appointment or even dials to current customers to upgrade them or recruit them to the business.

The third type of activity that is required for success is communication. After prospecting, some of your prospects will be interested. There are six activities that are required for effective communication in network marketing. They are…

#7. Conversations: A conversation is when you actually speak to a prospect on the phone. When you dialed you got 1 point (from Activity #6). When the prospect answers the phone you will get another 1 point. Also, if a prospect returns your call and you answer, this to counts as a conversation.

#8. Setting Appointments: Whenever you book an appointment with a prospect to attend an event and they accept your appointment, this counts as a set appointment. Each time you do this, give yourself 2 points. An appointment can be an invitation to an in-home-meeting, a one-on-one meeting, a hotel business overview as well as a luncheon. Don’t forget to confirm your appointments 24 hours before the actual appointment time.

#9. Presentations: When you have a prospect that shows up to an appointment and you, or someone from your company, presents to that prospect, give yourself 3 points when this happens.

#10. Customer Sales: A customer sale is when someone purchases your products and you earn a commission on that sale. When this happens, give yourself 4 points. This includes new first time customers as well as existing customers that you upgrade to an additional product. Keep in mind when you are upgrading, if you make a dial and the customer picks up you get 1 point for the dial and 1 point for the conversation as well. That’s a total of 6 points from one person!

#11. Sponsored Distributors: Whenever you sponsor a new distributor into your organization give yourself 4 points. Make sure that the distributor agreement is signed and that the company has received payment for the first order before giving yourself the points.

#12. Training New Distributors: Whenever you attend a training with one of your new distributors, whether you are doing the training personally or someone in your company is, give yourself 5 points. This is the highest activity we assign points to because this is the activity that rewards you the most in your network marketing business. After all, once you have a well trained distributor, you can duplicate yourself and earn income off the efforts of others.

Now that you have the 12 activities, you should log into your GoalTrends.com account every night and record your activity in the system by checking the box listed next to each activity. The system will automatically multiply the activity by its assigned point value. When done, look at your “My Profile” page to see how you are performing on the trend of past weeks results. You can also add your own GoalTrends gadget on your blog or web site by inserting the code provided by the system. This lets you look at your performance weekly and compare it to your goals.

Finally, the system also includes a Logbook feature. The Logbook allows you to record daily notes as well as reminders as you track your goals. This way you can record your thoughts along the way and see how you progress in your business.

Enjoy using the GoalTrends.com system.
