What Are Your Goals For Your Network Marketing Business?

When it comes to business, I'm a strong supporter of having goals. Goals give us something to work toward. Once we have goals, we can then take the steps required to meet those goals. There are so many components to your network marketing business that I'd like to suggest several different goals:

1. Set a customer goal. How many customers do you hope to service each week or each month? Make your goals realistic. If you're just starting, hoping to service a hundred customers per week probably is not reachable.

2. If you have an established customer base, set two goals for yourself. Set one goal of reaching out to old and existing customers and a second goal of finding new customers. Perhaps you can reach out to five existing customers per month looking for either a referral or a new order from them. You can then look for three to five new customers each month also.

3. Set a goal of meeting new people. I try to meet about ten new people each week. This adds up to over five hundred new people I've met in the course of a year. Out of five hundred people, it's almost impossible not to find a few people who want to buy or sell your products.

4. I've found sales goals are a wonderful way to increase your income. Often choosing just one product and marketing that product will bring you the sales increase.

5. Over the years, I've helped many organizations with fundraisers. Perhaps your fundraising goal can be one fundraiser per month. Or you might make a goal to talk to three non-profit leaders each month, knowing that of the three, you want one yes.

6. Set recruiting goals. I had a mentor who set a goal of just twelve new recruits each year. He was very specific in what he was looking for in his business partners and had a remarkable team under him. I know other people who set goals of five to ten new recruits each month. Your attrition will be a bit higher, but your team will also grow.

These are just six goals you can set in network marketing. As you set goals, you'll find your business will grow as you hit each of your goals. Don't be afraid to increase your goals as you grow and as your business grows.
