Top Network Marketing Tips for Guaranteed Success
Michael Oliver
Quick tips
- Don’t think of people you talk with as ‘prospects’ - They’re people.
- Listening to their story first is more important than having them listen to your story!
- Get information before you give it!
- People don’t think what you think, and thinking they do, will get you in your own way!
Through his words…
The “secret” to enrolling and growing your business quickly in ANY economy is to ‘Sell’ The Way People Buy’, which will have your potential buyers willingly lean in and want to listen to and buy from you!
It's no secret that the people who seem to get the most out of their businesses and life have great people and communication skills. It's also no secret you can quickly and easily learn these skills, no matter what your personality!
Talking with people and getting positive responses every single time is easy—If you don’t tell, present, educate and share as soon as you can, and if you don’t use closing and overcoming objections techniques!
Instead…. Learn how to ask the right types of questions and listen to WHAT people really want... WHY they want it... HOW they feel about not having it already, and… HOW they would feel if they did!
In other words - Discover First. Present Second!
Your potential customers have all the answers! All you need are the right types of questions!
Michael Oliver says that the secret to persuade your potential customers to listen to you is to abstain from the “old school selling techniques”. He suggests direct selling distributors to be considerate of their prospects' thoughts and feelings.
Tom Schreiter
Quick tips
- Learn one new idea today.
- Think of the biggest problem we solve for our prospect.
- Create one new way to explain our solution in two sentences.
- Chat with one person with a great first sentence.
Through his words…
Prospects prejudge us in the first 20 seconds, before we mention our company, our video, or our compensation plan. This is where the decision happens. Prospects don’t know how their minds make a decision, but we do. When we control the first 20 seconds, everything else is easy. No more rejection, selling, or convincing. Spend our time perfecting our first 20 seconds.
Anyone can have one quality conversation a day, even shy people. When we free ourselves from pitching and rejection, we won’t resist connecting with people. This makes our daily plan doable.
Tom Schreiter with his years of experience in network marketing advises network marketers to take care of some of the crucial points while closing prospects. Tom suggests that distributors must capitalize on “instant yes decisions” of prospects before proceeding further because the human mind detests information without the “yes decision”.
He encourages network marketers to change using the word ‘presentation’ to ‘options’ as people love more options rather than presentations.
Charles Holmes
Quick tips
- Spare at least 4 hours to build the network if you are a full-time network marketing distributor and at least 1 hour if you are an office-goer.
- Help and train new members to build on their skills to be a successful network marketer.
- Follow up with the leads from the previous day.
Through his words…
This plan sounds very easy to do, but only very few people will commit to contacting these many new prospects every single day. The reason why this plan works so well is that you are EXPOSING the business and products to LOTS of people in a compressed amount of time. It's all about massive action and massive exposures.
Charles classifies the people who want to get into the network marketing business into two as the 1 percenters, who wish to generate a six-figure income within the first one or two years in the business, and the 20 percenters, who want to create a side source of income of around 3000$ to 5000$ within a few years after getting into the business.
The key takeaway from his plan is that whether your aim is to earn big or small, your constant efforts in required amounts is all that matters to make your direct selling business successful.

Ray Higdon
Quick tips
- Create an article, video, or blog.
- Spend 30 minutes on sales and marketing training.
- Meditate for at least 20 minutes a day.
Through his words…
Do not solely look at people at hunks of meat, look at actually creating some relationships and connections and you will be amazed at who decides they want to spend more time with you and possibly even build a business. Some of my best teammates in my company asked me about my business after they got to know me versus I targeted them as a lead or prospect.
Ray envisions network marketer's daily routine as deeds that dictate long term results. The discipline you subsume now will result in a tremendous improvement in your career as a distributor in the future.
Simon Chan
Quick tips
- Create 3 pieces of content.
- Meet 5 new contacts a day.
- Invite 5 people to look at a presentation.
- Follow up with 5 prospects that you sent invites to.
- Have 3 prospects watch a presentation daily or 3-way call.
Through his words…
I admit that at first, this 3-5-5-5-3 Network Marketing DMO (Daily Method of Operation) may not be easy. But once you schedule things in and consciously make an effort to work on your DMO in every free second of your life, you’ll soon discover it’s not only doable but it gives you tremendous satisfaction and happiness.
You’ll feel fulfilled because you’re finally doing the actions that grow your income.
And before you know it, the happiness and success compound exponentially because you’ll be getting the results that you wanted.
Chan's 3-5-5-3 method is a unique approach to building an efficient distributor routine for a successful network marketing career. Even if you are unable to sit together for long hours to complete the daily tasks, it's enough if you do it in short pieces of time. The idea here is to do it right rather than to do it all at once.
Tanya Aliza
Quick tips
- Add 3-5 people to your prospect list.
- Start 3-5 new conversations and wish birthdays.
- Follow up with leads.
- Create curiosity posts on social media.
Through her words…
I don’t move on-demand with my team and I don’t sit around all day long waiting to see if people reply to my post or messages.
I do my morning activities on social media and I move on with my day.
But I will come back later in the evening to check if anyone’s replied or to follow up with anyone that’s commented on my posts.
Tanya asks us to be proactive instead of being reactive when it comes to network marketing daily schedule. Set aside proper time to do all the tasks in your list, complete it, and move on with your day. Give space for your side hustle if you are a part-time direct seller and just get it done without any excuses.
Todd Falcone
Quick tips
- Prospecting for customers.
- Lead generation through social media.
- Personal development through books, training videos, etc.
- Connect with your leaders.
Through his words…
The only way to know for sure that your day is going to be productive is to have a plan and a daily routine. Otherwise, things just “happen” as they happen. And…that's not exactly a great recipe for success.
Here's what I've found from being self-employed for a very long time when it comes to maximizing my daily production. If I shoot from the hip, it never works. If I “hope” to have a good day, it never works out so well. If I do things “on the wing and a prayer”, as nice as that phrase sounds, it never really works out to be as good as it COULD be.
Todd sees a daily action plan in network marketing as something that must be done to be maximally productive. When we are into activities with such a mindset where completing these tasks is essential for you to survive and to earn your bread, the better the stuff gets done. Having that kind of a daily workflow can make you a powerful network marketing entrepreneur.
