TIPS FOR EXPANDING YOUR VIVAMK BUSINESS
Looking to expand your VivaMK business?
Here are some tips that were shared with me in my previous business and played a strong role in the success me and my team enjoyed.
TIP No.1
USE YOUR OWN PRODUCTS …
If your friends come round and see ‘Jif’ in your kitchen and ‘Harpic’ in the loo, what will they think of your VivaMK products?!
The chairman of Vauxhall wouldn’t dream of driving a Ford!
We are the owners of our own business and should view it in the same way.
YOU ARE YOUR OWN BEST ADVERT and should be your own best customer.
Why put money in to the supermarket’s pocket when you can out it in your own?!
TIP No.2
COMMIT YOURSELF TO AT LEAST 24 MONTHS TO MAKE YOUR VIVAMK BUSINESS WORK …
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Our business is about a lot of hard work initially for seemingly little reward, so that you can eventually earn VERY HIGH REWARDS for seemingly little effort!
Give it the time to take off and you WILL be rewarded.
TIP No.3
SPEND 90% OF YOUR BUSINESS TIME WITH DISTRIBUTORS, CUSTOMERS AND PROSPECTIVE DISTRIBUTORS …
Planning is vital to the success of your business, but spend no more than 10% of your time planning and organising what action you need to take, so that you spend 90% of your time TAKING THE ACTION.
TIP No.4
DON’T ALLOW AN OVERLY COMPETITIVE NATURE TO STEM YOUR BUSINESS! …
Believe it or not, one of the reasons for people failing in our business is their constant comparison with other people’s success.
Someone else joined the business and achieved twice as much as you in just half the time. This will always happen no matter what business we are in.
Unfortunately some people allow themselves to get hung up on it and allow their own success to suffer as a result.
Personalities, work ethics, time available, and home circumstances all play a part in what people achieve.
So there are two ways to have the tallest building in town:
Try to pull everyone else’s down
OR CONCENTRATE ON BUILDING YOUR OWN.
TIP No.5
WORK LOCAL BUT THINK GLOBAL …
Remember that your business is anywhere in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, not just the town where you live.
Who do you know in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Dublin etc. etc?
Think big! EXPAND YOUR NETWORKING NATIONWIDE.
With technology as it is today we are able to work with people in all locations. Using email, text, skype, facebook, and other platforms on the internet there are many ways to communicate with people regardless of where they are.
Tips 6-10
TIP No.6
DUPLICATE YOURSELF BY HELPING DISTRIBUTORS TO BE INDEPENDENT, NOT DEPENDENT.
Don’t let your ego get in the way of putting bread on the table!
If you “mother hen” your team and make yourself the centre of attention, YOU WILL NOT GET LONG TERM, SOLID GROWTH.
Ask yourself the question “If I died tomorrow, how many in my team would carry on?”
Give a man a fish and you have fed him. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for life!
OUR JOB IS TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO FISH FOR THEMSELVES.
TIP No.7
TO EARN AN ABOVE AVERAGE INCOME YOU NEED TO BECOME AN ABOVE AVERAGE PERSON.
This does not only mean how many skills or abilities you have learned, although these are important and will definitely help longer term.
So how can we can all be above average from day one? … Simply by:
- Treating distributors and customers with the respect that you would expect for yourself and not as though they are commodities or employees.
- Being totally honest and never lying to your team or customers. The most valuable asset you have in this business is your credibility – if you lose it you WILL lose your business.
- Making understanding PEOPLE more important than product knowledge or understanding networking.
- Being solution conscious NOT problem conscious. Concentrate on how to MAKE an idea work and not on the 113 reasons why it won’t work!
ADOPTING THESE MAXIMS IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE REALLY BIG EARNERS AND THE NOT SUCH BIG EARNERS!
TIP No.8
NEVER, NEVER RUN DOWN YOUR COMPANY OR PRODUCTS TO ANYONE EVER! …
That is, unless you want a really short cut to losing your entire business!
Do not pass negative rumours downline …
check the facts for yourself and then talk to your sponsor or the company.
TIP No.9
BE PERSISTENT …
When you feel like slacking off read this piece of prose:
Intelligence will not do it, there is an abundance of intelligent, destitute people in the world.
Education will not do it, educated derelicts can be found on the streets of most towns.
Skills will not do it, throughout the ages skilled people with no work has almost become a proverb.
Only PERSISTENCE is omnipotent – nothing can withstand the power of a will that stakes it’s very existence on its ability to achieve.
Anyone can hang in there when everything is going well …
what sorts out the successes from the failures is the ability to keep going when it all seems to be going wrong!
TIP No.10
SET GOALS AND TARGETS SEPARATELY …
Goals are what you want to get out of your business and are essential for self-motivation.
Targets are what you need to do in your business to achieve those goals.
Make a game plan of the activity required and then focus on hitting your targets and YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS!
TIP No.11
PRAISE YOUR TEAM’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS NO MATTER HOW SMALL THEY MAY SEEM …
Winston Churchill said …
Praise withheld is 10 times more damaging than criticism
TIP No.12
PRESENT THE BUSINESS PLAN TO AT LEAST ONE PERSON DAILY …
Even if you are only practising on your brother!
You will find that every now and again someone actually says “YES” and joins your business!
BECOME AN EXPERT AT EXPLAINING THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
TIP No.13
REWARD YOURSELF …
Give yourself a reward for reaching your targets.
Buy yourself a new pair of shoes, for example, out of your profits – make it something you could not have afforded had it not been for the business.
TIP No.14
CONDUCT SIMPLE, BRIEF AND EXCITING BUSINESS PRESENTATIONS …
Whether face to face, voice to voice – be precise, concise and HONEST.
Speak enthusiastically about the opportunity – BUT DON’T GO OVER THE TOP!
Always tell stories or show testimonies from the COMPANY MAGAZINE, the OPPORTUNITY BROCHURE or the VIDEO about other distributor’s achievements to illustrate what is possible with this opportunity.
Let the tools do most of the work for you.
TIP No.15
LEAD BY EXAMPLE …
If our business is about duplication, then we need to be careful what we are setting as the example to be duplicated.
What would be the attributes of your perfect distributor that you would like to have in your team – what would their attitude be like, what would their work ethic be, would they get to every meeting especially Show Cases, would they be constantly reading and listening to personal development materials, would they be constant learners? The list goes on doesn’t it.
Strive to be the best member of your team in all aspects of your business.
For example, if you spend more than you earn, then the people in your team will do the same and end up losing their businesses through debt problems. What a sad way to lose a business.
Our process is very simple, it just takes time and effort.
