What the (Network Marketing) world needs now…is a little simplification. This article is an introduction to series of posts on the value of samples. The idea for the series was conceived after reading a post about free samples at On The Road With Dave.
Hopefully by now you know that money can be made in Network Marketing by selling products and sponsoring people. I know you were told by your upline that there are 9 steps to success, but they lied. There are only two steps and they center around the product.
If the product is engaging and if it really helps you and if you really like it, there is a good chance you would be willing to share it with other people.
Share the product with others and one of three things will happen.
- The person likes the product and wants more of it. Those are potential customers.
- The person likes the product and asks questions like, "where did you get it?" or "is there more stuff like this?". Those are potential customers and some might be potential business partners.
- None of the above. This person wants nothing to do with your product or your business.
It’s no pressure MLM or Solution Marketing as I like to call it, whereas you don’t approach anyone about your business until you are reasonably sure that your business offers a solution for the other person.
It’s as simple as offering a sample to someone and allowing them to try it.
The Seattle Times via The Daily Oasis:
"Sampling can offer feedback, which is important to the manufacturer, and the bump in sales is important to the retailer. Typically, we expect a lift in sales of 300-400 percent from a focused, six-hour in-store demo on a weekend."
