All Rights Reserved. REV 12/25/2015
6.
Guided Assessment Referral marketing 100
Contacts list: The Trust MLM will begin with a referral marketing system because to some degree a trust relationship has already been developed between the distributor and their referral list. Due to the nature of this business, where you sell directly to the consumer, it helps considerably to have already established a relationship. With a relationship already established, it is far easier to then sell the product because the prospective customers skepticism has been lowered. Direct Selling Job board: In order add value to customers, we aim to hire sales professionals. We will commence with Job boards initially moving on to more specialist services in due course. 10. Competitive Analysis – Describe the key features and benefits of competitive offerings against which you are going to compete. Are there any features and benefits valued by your target market that are currently not being addressed by competitive offerings that your offerings could address? This box will expand as you type in your response Strategic benefits Through the power of residual income, network marketing allows people to achieve both time and financial freedom. Life is too short not to be enjoyed and having more time is one of the best ways to improve your quality of life. For this reason, network marketing was the smartest decision we ever made and we strongly encourage you to take a serious look into this proven business model. Network marketing offers a proven business vehicle that can help you to achieve your dreams. Functional benefits Choose Your Own Income When I looked into the option of a home based business for the first time it became very clear that as an employee my boss was simply employing me at wholesale price while selling me for retail. Who do you think was making the profit? Not me, that’s for sure. As an employee I discovered that no matter how hard you work, you can never get paid what you’re really worth as your boss will always take a percentage of your profits. By choosing to operate a home based business there is no limit to how much you can earn. All it takes is a little bit of education and the commitment to put it into practice and you too could be on the road to financial freedom. Guided Assessment Page 6 of 20 Copyright © 2010. LaunchSmart, LLC. All Rights Reserved. REV 12/25/2015
7.
Guided Assessment Choose Your
Own Hours Being your own boss allows you the flexibility to choose your own hours and where you choose to work them. This can lead to an element of time freedom where you get to spend more quality time with friends, family and enjoying your favorite past-times. Feel like sleeping in today or knocking off early, without having to worry about commuting or being stuck in traffic. Working from home means you no longer have to unnecessarily add hours to your day and take years off your life Choose Your Work Environment Being your own boss allows you to design and work in the ideal working environment, surrounded by the people and things that you love. You get to play your favorite music, wear your most comfortable clothes and better still, take breaks when you want. Don’t feel like wearing a suit or tie, you no longer have to. Simply climb out bed, stumble past the kitchen for your favorite breakfast and then head down the hall to the office to start your day. Or it’s a lovely day outside, why not take your work to the park, beach or play a quick 18 holes of golf in your “lunch break”. Choose The People You Work With If you operate a home based business not only do you get to be your own boss, but there are no employees to worry about or wages to pay. You get to choose who you do business with and how you do it. Operational benefits Some examples of the business experience you will gain from network marketing include: Establishing a business plan Goal setting How to market a product How to market yourself How to market a business Identifying markets Internet marketing Prospecting potential customers and securing orders Negotiating a business proposal Closing a business deal Training other business associates Cash flow Identify potential problems and how to overcome them Power of persuasion and influence Self confidence and development Improving communication skills Building a network Time management.... and many more.

Guided Assessment Part II:
Best Practices Evaluation The wisest people and most successful businesses know that there are things they do not know, and they boldly evaluate themselves against rigorous standards. The following section contains carefully selected questions organized into 7 disciplines to help identify how prepared you are to implement the best practices essential to your success, as well as areas that could keep your venture from succeeding if not addressed. Instructions: Mark “X” to indicate whether you feel your team is strong, average, or weak in that area. Also mark “X” if you feel that specialized support or training will be required to help you learn the specifics of that area as applied to the direct selling (MLM or Party Plan) business model. You will find that there is space at the end of each section to enter notes and ideas that will come to you as you honestly and carefully evaluate your situation. It is important that you use this space to comment about your strengths, weaknesses, worries, and needs in each area.
