Business Building Corner


Be prepared to conduct business

Becoming a successful LifePharm IBO and maintaining that position depends on self-motivation and perseverance. When you decide to embrace network marketing as a business and not only as a consumer, you need to be prepared regardless of your specific background.

To build your self-confidence as a business owner, learn as much about the LifePharm Products as possible. Also, become familiar with the various ways to generate residual income, and learn how to be a reliable sponsor and mentor. There are so many tools in your Virtual Office Resource Library to help you research and develop your body of knowledge. The more you know the more confident you will be. The more confident you are the easier it will be to share the incomparable LifePharm Products and moneymaking opportunity with whomever you strike up a conversation with.

Another way to be confident and prepared to conduct business is to acknowledge every day that the LifePharm Products and Opportunity are of value. Knowing this confirms over and over again that you have something beneficial to share.

Acknowledging this every day will help you overcome any reservations you may have about “selling” product to people. Not everyone is a born salesperson, but the majority of people relish the idea of being in a position to help others. Reminding yourself daily that you have something of value to offer others will give you the motivation to share the benefits of Laminine, OMEGA+++, DIGESTIVE+++ and IMMUNE+++ with friends, family and new acquaintances. When you think about it this way, there’s no better way to make a living!

Cultivating your business mindset also helps you to be prepared to conduct business. This means you open your mind to possibilities everywhere you are. Get rid of any preconceived notions. Be ready for surprises in the people you meet. For example, the introvert who barely said a word when you first met might become one of your dynamic team members. As the saying goes, “you can’t tell a book by its cover,” and in network marketing, the same holds true. Quiet people who are action-oriented may be much better team players than those who do lots of talking and very little committing. Be open minded and inclusive, and your team will benefit from the experiences of different types of personalities.

The more people you get to know, the larger your circle of prospects. The goal is to turn new acquaintances into relationships. These people all become part of your lead list. Whenever you generate leads, be sure to collect information about them. For example, if you are showing someone a product video with the LifePharm Connect app, you can easily exchange phone numbers right then and there. The LifePharm Connect app serves as your introduction and presentation to the products and opportunity, so much so that you won’t have to explain much. In a way, you’re prepared at all times as long as you have your mobile device! Isn’t that a confidence booster? It’s a wonderful business tool, especially for those who are new to LifePharm and not deep into product knowledge and endorsements.

Once you have captured a way to connect with your prospects, be prepared to schedule a follow up. Successful network marketers follow up with all their leads, not just soon after connecting, but over and over again. Some people take years of cultivation, but virtually every prospect is willing to try a sample of something. DIGESTIVE+++ and IMMUNE+++ are ideal for sampling, because everyone understands the benefits of having a healthy gut and immune system.

Follow up is as important as your initial connection. It’s a critical aspect of being prepared to conduct business. When you follow up with someone, you can show your connectedness by recalling parts of your initial conversation. It makes people feel cared for that you remember what they mentioned. Be sincere and offer personalized service—whether it’s to help them place orders or to help someone else they might want to refer to you. Be prepared to enroll many more consumer IBOs than business-building team members. Both are good for the growth of your LifePharm Business, so keep following up.
