Often you will find people who aren't really sure of what networking is all about. Here is a quick 2 minute explanation you can use.

Why are we paid? We are paid in networking for adding value to people's lives. Our products or services can certainly can add value, improve the quality of lives, save time and money for people or simplify and make life better. But, providing a financial opportunity that can create a lifestyle for people that most only dream of is where networking really shines, Thousands and thousands of millionaires have been created in this industry during the fifty years I have been a part of it.

I've heard we are paid for talking to people but that's only partly true. We talk to people to find those who will let us add value to their lives. Each person we add to our marketing organization should be a person who has strong feelings about their financial future. How are we paid? Really it is a very simple concept. For example if you help me earn $1000 more each month than I had before I met you, If I can do it with out loosing my job; without risking my income. If I can do it at my own speed and if you help me until I can do it myself. By sponsoring me you help me know about the product and most importantly how to market it. Then we have a business relationship.

If I earn my $1,000 a month I certainly won't be mad if the company gives you $200 for your effort as long as it doesn't come out of my $1000. That's a win-win business relationship.

Suppose you help 10 people do that. Now you have 10 people earning $1,000 a month, and the company pays you $2000 a month. Lets say I would like to earn $2000. like you are? You tell me "Bill, I'm going to help you build a marketing organization like I am doing." You help me develop a marketing list and talk to a few people.

Again, I won't be angry if the company pays you $100 for the sales from the people I add to my organization after all, they are paying me $200. as well And that commission system can go on for as many levels or generations as the company's marketing plan is designed for.

You now have the basic philosophy of network marketing. The short form that is real easy to explain to people.

Instead of having 10 people work with you pick your own number. How about training 100 people who have the freedom to grow as fast as they want. The compensation plan grows as fast as they grow. They automatically push you up to a higher commission level.

10 people who have 10 people who have 10 people would give you a marketing organization of 1000 marketers. The inherent leverage here is, you are only working with 10 people and receiving commissions on the volume of 1000 people. Each of them has the same opportunity as you do

The networking business is without a doubt the best chance the average person has to create a fortune. Here is the best part, this business is a lot easier to operate today than it was 50 years ago when I first started.
