Time is of the Essence

Published on by Nikken

Since the pandemic of 2020, so many people from around the world have opted to quit the 9-5 grind. Those who are able to work remotely have stayed on the job more than those required to work on site. Being your own boss has never been more appealing, and one of the popular options is to become an online retailer, which fits neatly into the network marketing niche. But what draws someone into trying out business ownership that involves dedication to direct selling, online sales and recruitment?

Time is the biggest commodity a business owner has and time is also what the 9-5 employee doesn’t have. No one understands the importance of freedom of time more than the person who doesn’t have it. Once time becomes available, managing it well is crucial for business success. In fact, managing time properly may well be the key to creating business profits for any business owner.

Successful business owners prioritize their tasks and have clear cut goals with deadlines. A daily, weekly and monthly checklist helps to keep you on track, but being overly driven to check off those items can be detrimental to managing time well. In other words, managing time requires flexibility as well as discipline, not just dogged determination. It’s helpful to prioritize tasks by importance and amount of time required to accomplish them. In general, if you can complete the most urgent items first, you will have a less stressful mindset. However, as situations arise when operating a business, be open to recognizing important actions that require immediate attention.

Rule of thumb? If something important comes up and only takes a few minutes to do, by all means get it out of the way rather than allowing it to sit on the checklist. Remember, the to-do list is not set in stone but be disciplined enough to get it done, even if there are a few detours along the way!

Retail and Sponsor with Social Media

Published on by Nikken

You don’t need an advanced education or be a math whiz to succeed in network marketing. Network marketing success comes from mastering a few things and doing them over and over. This means anyone who has a willingness to learn and follow simple directions has a good chance at achieving success.

At Nikken, we make it as simple as possible so that anyone who is willing to perform two basic behaviors consistently, may make a little money, good money or lots of money—you choose how much you want to commit to in terms of time and effort. Breaking it down to basics, successful network marketing requires the repetition of two basic behaviors:

  1. Retail the products. Retailing is basic sales. When you retail products at Nikken, you get a percentage of the sales price, so you are earning commission.
  2. Sponsor new Customers and Consultants. Sponsoring is how you grow the networking part of network marketing. When you enroll team members who also retail the products, you earn commissions according to our compensation plan on what they purchase and retail. The more people in your group, the more you potentially can earn.

Retailing and sponsoring are what you need to do, but how do you do it over and over again? Once you’ve shared the products and the income opportunity with your friends and family, what next? The truth is, even if you have hundreds of relatives and friends, you need to branch out so you can stay in business and continue building. That’s why social media is so important. It’s the fastest way for you to reach people you’ve never met and make connections. Here’s how it works:

  1. Use social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to share products and opportunity. Post your personal testimonials and those of others. Make your posts short and sweet and remember that a photo is worth a hundred words. Remember to set your posts to “public” so everyone can see them, not just your friends. The whole point is to attract new people.
  2. Check daily for responses and follow up with those who reply or “like” your social media posts. Gather contact information such as email addresses and phone numbers, so you can connect privately.
  3. Enroll those who are interested in consuming products as Registered Customers. Enroll those who are also interested in the income opportunity as Consultants and explain how to retail and sponsor. Tell them to repeat these two behaviors so they’ll have a growing Nikken business.

For those who have already made a purchase and/or enrolled with you, follow up and see how they’re doing. Remind new Nikken Customers to re-order or sign up for Autoship. Consultants also need reminders and it’s your job as their sponsor to remind them to duplicate your efforts. Retail and Sponsor. Follow up. Repeat. Duplicate.
