Identify your target market

Just read a great post on how to build your target market here is the video for session one

After you’ve watched the video then go here to get started today with your successful network marketing business . When starting to seek out a new network marketing company you always need to ensure that the opportunity is valid.

Many new network marketing companies fail in their first year or two for several reasons so you need to perform your due diligence before you ever join with a company.

Many compensation plans for network marketing companies are similar to one another. Even in the direct sales industry you will find many network marketing compensation plans similarities.

Choosing your target market for a network marketing opportunity is extremely important since this one facet of your business will help you decide which opportunity for building your business is the best choice.

For an example my target market relate to two segment when it comes to real estate; buyers and sellers, investors and first time home buyers. So I needed a company that could fill a couple of needs for my clients.

This limited my choices for using a network marketing company until I found Financial Destination Inc. This company is awesome, not only did they meet the needs of my clients they have more than exceeded my personal expectations as well.

What an awesome opportunity for a network marketing company, this set of tools and services should be at the forefront of everyone’s financial mindset. Companies such as LifeLock, TelaDoc, Credit-Trax, Equity-Trax, Money-Trax, First Class Travel, First Class Benefits, Aetna Dental, Coast to Coast Vision, Neighborhood Pharmacy Discounts and so much more.

I look at it as when partnerships are created especially when giant corporations merge together for the benefit of the people this is a mission and a purpose driven company with an agenda to reshape the face of business.

You owe it to yourself to watch the video above then go and check out Financial Destination Inc.’s overview to see if it is right for you and your business.

The top 10 business blunders you want to avoid when starting and opening your own business

You’ve seen them in the movie credits blunders, blunders are those unedited, unexpected moments when humility arise out no where and it’s how the reaction of those in the moment of vulnerability create the most surprising and most often unexpected events.

When you start your own home based business these bloopers and blunders can and most likely will arise. You’ve got to be strong enough and humble enough to roll with the punches, more often than not the people you are speaking to will get a good chuckle out of the occurrence and life goes on.

It’s just that “in the moment” feeling(s) that can really test your character. Be calm and collected; gather your self back to the place where you left off. I can remember a time when I spoke in front of a small group of people I froze, lost all of my concentration and was paralyzed with fear.

I was so humiliated and embarrassed with the who outcome I couldn’t finish my presentation, I felt scared and as if I let myself down. Think about wedding bloopers you hear about, the bride ran away, cakes dropped or falling over, dogs and the buffet.

The stories go on and on the same thing can be said for opening day for your business. The restaurant with no cooking capability, department stores without advertised merchandise. You know these front page headlines…

“Super Center Grand Opening Bust…”
Local Super Center grand opening soon closed due to product shipment delay. Recent sources say…..”

You know what I mean; I wanted to give you a check list of basic preparation needs to ensure a quality start for your business.

1) Branding… Business cards, marketing materials are they correct in spelling, address and contact information? Surprising enough I have seen incorrect information on promo materials I have even had some of
my own show up incorrect.

2) Are you prepared with the proper inventory, supplies, staff and support?

3) Are the leases all agreed on, terms negotiated, papers signed off?

4) Did you promote the event properly? Have you had enough leeway to create an interest, pre drip opening campaigns, post drip enticers and pique mailers.

5) Have you planned for disaster to happen, made a back up plan, over estimated response, underestimate demand and response for grand opening day.

6) Designed something to impress the visitors, snacks, drinks, contest give aways, free samples, cross and continuity products, back end up sell products.

7) Did you think about your business as a business or did you not think about it at all.

8) Small business is the same as big business it’s just a little different, are you strong and versed in your company’s mission, values, ethics and marketing vision.

9) Did you evaluate the costs and demands imposed on you when you selected the business you wanted to start?

10) Did you look within your self to see if you thought you had what it takes to run a small home based business?

These are some of the biggest bloopers I see when people go into business, the reason I am able to confidently say these things is simply due to the fact that I too made these bloopers, blunders and found out the hard way what it means to starting and opening my own home based business.

I hope that I can help you avoid some of these blunders when you start your own home based business.
