HOW TO BOOST SELLS IN YOUR NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS
Product knowledge is knowledge one has about product’s features and benefits of the products they sell. Product knowledge is very essential to any network marketer intending to grow their business through sells. Your company might have the best products in the market but as long as your product knowledge is poor trust me you will not make sells! It is hence very important to have good knowledge about the products you intend to sell in terms of:
- How the products should be used
- Which products work together
- The value of the products
Benefits of Product Knowledge in network marketing
I) Growth in confidence
When you are well informed about the products you are selling,your confidence level gets boosted. You actually know what you are talking about hence are in a good position to answer any question that the customer might ask you regarding the products by giving correct information.
2) Strengthened Communication Skills
Once you understand your products, you can communicate more tactfully about your products. You know how to express different features clearly
3) Enthusiasm
Product knowledge boosts your enthusiasm very easily. People who are enthusiastic about their products make sales with little effort as compared to the ones that are not enthusiastic.
A consumer will only buy products from a person who can clearly show how the product will address their needs. It is therefore important that you increase you product knowledge which can be done through:
- Attending your company’s training sessions
- Using the products yourself so that you have first hand experience which you can talk about
- Reading product literature
- Collecting your customers testimonials
HAVE YOU ESTABLISHED YOUR NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS GOALS??
Once you establish your network marketing business the next thing you should be thinking is how to make your business successful. Success is what every network marketer wants to achieve at the end of the day. Unfortunately most of the people think that network marketing is a get-rich-quickly business! Ask most of the top network marketers who have made it and they will give you a different answer. You need to plan for your success and work towards achieving it as well. Success does not come by chance! So how do you start planning for success in your network marketing business??
The answer is simple, SET YOUR GOALS FIRST!
Ever heard of a saying that goes, “you can’t hit a target you can’t see” Goal setting is one of the key things you must practice as a network marketer if you ever plan to succeed in your business. Setting goal make your business have more meaning. You get to work towards a pointed direction. If you don’t have goals anything that comes along the way can confuse you. Even an insect! People who don’t have goals tend to give up very easily whenever they face challenges. They don’t know what they want at the end of the day. Goals give you the ability to push through roadblocks.
For example let’s say you won a competition and you have received an email inviting you to go and collect your gold medal in South Africa. You’re goal will be to reach South Africa. Nothing will come along the way and make you change your mind that easily about traveling to South Africa because you know what you want at the end of the day. On the other side let’s say you don’t have any specific business in South Africa then you just wake up one morning and just decide to go to South Africa. Since there is no goal pushing you to go to South Africa, you can easily change your mind about the travel. Your friend might come and invite you for a party in Dubai and you find yourself going to Dubai instead because you had no goal initially. You just woke up and decided to go to South Africa out of the blues. Goals help keeping you focused. All your efforts get directed towards something giving more meaning in everything you do.
You should set your goals in two broad categories i.e Long term goals and short term goals. Short-term goals are the goals you want to achieve between 3 months to 1 year. Long term goals on the other hand are the goals you want to achieve between 1 year to 5 years. The more you breakdown you’re goals, the more motivated you feel about achieving them. You don’t see you’re business as one massive task but as a series of small steps. The goals you establish should be reviewed periodically and adjustments made where necessary. Remember your goals should be SMART
1) S – Specific
Avoid setting goals that are too general. Be specific to bring out clarity. Eg if you say you goal is to recruit many people in your business next month, you are being too general. You can become more specific by saying you want to recruit 10 people by the end of next month.
2) M – Measurable
Establish goals that can be measured to enable you keep track of your progress. Eg If you say you want to sell 20 items of a product, this is something that can be measured. When you sell say 15 or 25 item, you are able to measure you’re results and tell if you reached you’re target or not
3) A – Attainable
All you’re goals should be attainable. They should be challenging and not too easy.
4) R – Realistic
Set goals that are realistic in nature. For example you can’t say you want to recruit 10 people every month yet you do not talk to people about you’re business. It becomes unrealistic because for you to recruit, you must talk to people.
5) T – Time
Goals that do not have a time-limit are useless. Set goals and put deadlines on them. Eg you can say you want to recruit 100 people before 31st December 2012. Having a time limit motivates you to work hard.
Lastly but not least, always review some of your goals with your up line/leaders. They have more experience than you have in the business and could help you towards achieving your business success.

THE TIENS BUSINESS PLAN
The TIENS marketing plan is one of the fairest way to enable one get financial freedom simply because it was created with you as an independent distributor in mind. You can easily get your pockets with money if you understand it carefully. Take your time to understand it and again if you need clarification contact me on the “contact tab” (above), will be ready to assist you.
The Tiens marketing plan provides 6 different ways to earn an income.
a) Retail profit
As an independent TIENS distributor, you are entitled to purchase products at wholesale price. You are then free to retail the products to your customers with the difference between retail and wholesale price being entirely your profit.
b) Direct bonus
A direct bonus is what you, as an independent distributor earns from your personally sponsored frontline/a new recruit. The bonus ranges from 20% to 43%. This also applies to your personal purchase. (when you purchase a product for your own use/sell, you get this bonus.)
c)Indirect bonus
The indirect bonus is calculated on the Bonus Volume (B.V- part of the sale price of a product that can be used to calculate the bonus) It is based on a scale of 4% increaments and the percentage varies on your ranking and that of your downlines.
d)Leadership bonus
The leadership bonus is earned on the entire downline organisation of an independent distributor with the same ranking as you. As your ranking increases so does your leadership bonus payment increase. This ranking is paid from 5 star onwards.
e) Honorary Title Bonuses
The Honorary Title Bonus is like a profit sharing plan, only it is paid on sales revenue and not just profit. TIENS put aside 5% of world wide sales in a pool for those who qualify by attaining a status level of Bronze Lion or higher.
f) Special Award Bonuses
Special Awards are offered to Independent Distributors who achieve the highest levels of the marketing plan. A n independent distributor who achieves a Honored Title gets special awards such as a luxury car, a villa, paid holidays etc
All you have to do FIRST is to purchase the TIENS business license for 20 USD. This automatically qualifies you as a 1 STAR INDEPENDENT DISTRIBUTOR. The distributor of this status is hence entitled to buy products at membership price. When your personal purchases accumulate to 100 P.V(Point value), you become a 2 STAR INDEPENDENT DISTRIBUTOR . To become a 3 STAR INDEPENDENT DISTRIBUTOR you need to accumulate 200 point values and begin receiving a bonus of 20 % on your own purchases and that of your personally sponsored down lines. As your sales volume increases so does your ranking and bonus level.
This is a business where you don’t have to introduce your whole army of people so that you can become successful. Just introduce the few that are committed to success like you. It is a business like any other. It needs focus, commitment, good attitude, open mindedness and above all hard work. When you work hard you get more. When you work less you get less.

NETWORK MARKETING
Before you understand the TIENS marketing plan, it is important you understand why Mr. Li Jinyuan, the president of TIENS decided to use network marketing to deliver his goods and message to the world.
What is Network Marketing?
Network marketing is simply a method of providing goods and services to customers where the retail middlemen have been replaced with a network of independent distributors. Instead of the profit going to the pockets of the middlemen, it goes to the pockets of Tiens Independent Distributors. Network Marketing is based on the word of mouth advertising. Instead of the manufacturer using that money to advertise on media, that money is kept aside to produce better quality goods. Word of mouth advertising is very effective and only works for good quality products.
To understand the power of network marketing, you can take a scenario where for example you purchase a very nice watch. When you wear it your friend will see and like it. You will definitely have to tell them where you bought it from. They might also tell another person and so on and you find that probably 50 people learnt about the watch through word of mouth.
The fact is that you have promoted someones business. This is what we do on a daily basis. We promote other people’s businesses without being paid for it. At TIENS this is not the case. They have simply taken the word of mouth process and attached a reward to it if a sell results. So by simply sharing about the product and business you could be on your journey to earn residual income.
Mr. Li has always been passionate about sharing his network marketing business success with many other people but why not develop your business through the Conventional (Traditional) way or Franchising and NOT network marketing?
Being in business through the traditional way has its own benefits yes, no doubt about that but there are the following major downsides
1. High start up costs just to set up your own shop
2. You sacrifice a lot of time because you will probably working at your business for more hours just to keep it afloat in the first years of beginning
3. High operational costs like rent, paying employees
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Network marketing offers you a better chance
Network Marketing benefits with TIENS
1. Low start up costs (20 usd/ Ksh 1680) which is not renewal like other companies do.
2. You can grow your business internationally. Each person has a undue ID number on his/her license which you can shop with in any part of the world where TIENS speciality shops are.(In Kenya Tiens speciality shops are in most major towns) You can also grow your team in other countries. If yo have friends/family overseas they can use your ID number to purchase TIENS products
3. No demotion. The business has ranks. Once you get ranks, nobody can demote you
4. You are your own boss. The person who introduced you to the business is your sponsor not your boss. You get to decide when to work and when not to work.
5. You are not in business alone. Your sponsor is there to guide you and the company offers you with training about the business and products as well
6. You enjoy high returns in form of residual income. The bigger your team and the active they are the more pay you get.
What is residual income?
Residual income is the income you are paid over and over again for the work only did once. It is income that is permanently enjoyed by afew people in the society such as authors, songwriters, inventors……. and those who have developed a powerful network marketing business.
Reciprocal income on the other hand is income you get when you work for your employer. You simply get paid when you work even if you are permanently employed. If you think that your income is permanent, try telling your boss you want a leave for 5 months and see if you will receive your income. Reciprocal income is earned only when you work!
TIENS is there to offer you a chance to earn your residual income as long as the people you introduced to the business are ordering products. This is the beauty of network marketing.

THE BUSINESS OF THE 21ST CENTUARY
I am going to share with you a business opportunity that I was introduced to and i have never looked back ever since! This is a business opportunity that will make you have financial freedom and time freedom at the same time. It is a business that requires very little financial start-up costs. You do not need any professional experience to run it successfully. Once you join the business you have the opportunity to grow it globally. This is a business that can very easily give you high returns when you are determined to learn and work hard. The business is called PERSONAL FRANCHISING. It’s a business opportunity that when done in a smart way can change your life to the better in a million different ways. Take your time and read everything carefully and get the facts.
Have you ever refereed a friend to retail outlet to purchase something he/she saw you with liked and went to buy? Did the retail outlet pay you for bringing that customer? NO!!Imagine of a scenario where you get paid for buying your bathing soap, perfume, toothpaste, sanitary towels…. etc AND also get paid for referring your friend to buy the same products or other products. What I mean is that you will simply be getting two salaries (bonuses) from your usage of the products as well your friend’s usage. Additionally when your friend does the same thing i.e uses the same product and shows her other friends to do exactly that you also get paid for that (indirect bonus).
This is the best compensation plan I have ever heard in my life I must say!!
This is a business called PERSONAL FRANCHISING or simply NETWORK MARKETING. Maybe you are wondering why you should stop buying the ordinary toothpaste, perfume, sanitary towel or bathing soap….etc etc. There are TWO major reasons why you need to do this:
1. The products are natural which prevent you from having a lot of side effects we are exposed to when using chemical filled products. The products are safe and this has been proven without reasonable doubt from bodies such as FDA and are IS0 certified
2. You get paid from using and referring your friends to use them
PLEASE NOTE
This is not necessarily a selling business. It is a networking business. You simply consume the products, introduce other people to consume the products and before you know it, you will be having a very big network of people you introduced to the business and you will be paid for this.
Some people prefer selling like me which is not bad. When you sell you get paid even more. Apart from being paid for simply consuming products and your friend’s consumption (the one you refereed to consume products), you ADDITIONALLY stand a chance of getting RETAIL PROFITS of 30% for every item you buy and sell. You simply buy the product at a wholesale price and sell at a retail price the profit becoming yours entirely. If you don’t like selling, the choice is perfectly yours. In Kiswahili we say “Chaguo ni lako.” Despite the fact that you are not selling,you will still be in business as long as you consume the products every month and introduce your friends to consume as you tell them to do the same. (consume and introduce their friends too)
JOINING THE BUSINESS
To join this business, you need to get your license from the International Giant Corporation called TIENS. Getting the business license requires only 20 USD (Kenya Shillings 1680) only internationally. Go to Europe, Asia or Africa its 20 USD to register. After purchasing the license, you obtain yourself an international lifetime membership license of the TIENS group.
