2. Lead Generation - You have to be able to generate your own high quality leads. Most companies and uplines will tell you to buy leads and cold call leads. This is the dumbest thing you can do considering that none of the people you contact had the idea or intention to start a business. But there are people out there who are serious, motivated and absolutely want to start a business. These are the leads you want to be focused on. Again, this is a very important skill that you must learn in order to succeed in this industry. The best and most effective tool to accomplish this is the internet. Here you can position yourself to be found by hot, laser targeted leads.

3. Marketing - How will you get your message across to people. More importantly, how will you position yourself to be found by people looking for what you have to offer. In order to generate your leads you will need marketing in place. Another great tool to make this happen is the internet. The internet is a wide open market place consisting of over 1 BILLION users. Why not tap into this gigantic market?

4. Recruiting - This is probably one of the most value skills you must learn that directly influence how much money you earn. This is the part that will determine whether you earn $300 checks or 5 figure checks each month. Because network marketing is all about building relationships with people recruiting is a pivotal component to your success.

What To Look For

Before you purchase any kind of training here's what you want to look for.

1. Testimonials. Have other people actually experienced results from using this training?

2. Price point. You have to determine if the price is actually worth the reward from implementing the training. Some training is worth $50, some is worth $5,000. You will have to decide what level you are at and go from there. An invest such as $5,000 might come back ten fold.

3. Credibility. Is this source a credible source? There are always people just trying to make a quick buck selling very low quality training. Watch out for these offers and just make sure the seller can back up his or her claims.

4. Implementation. You have to determine if this training is easy to implement or it will require you to outsource it to other people. Also make sure you will have time to implement the training. It would be silly to purchase this training and never use it. It's funny though, because this happens all the time in this industry.

Either way you look at it you need good training, especially if you are brand new, if you intend on actually succeeding. The top 3% of earners in this industry know the value of quality training and would not be in their current positions if they did not invest in themselves. So whether you are new or a seasoned network marketer the right kind of training can be the difference in your business.
