Social Media - Mastery Doesn't Come All At Once

SOCIAL MEDIA – Business Building

Six stages until you realizing Social Media Rocks!! 

As with anything, there are stages for you our Distributors as with any small business owner who decide to get involved with social media. Mastery doesn’t come all at once. We start at the bottom, we learn new tools and tricks over time, and eventually we work through common issues just as others have before us.

Stage 1: I Don’t Need Social Media

The first stage of social media is utter and total denial. It’s where you view social media as an annoyance and where you wish everyone would just stop talking about it or recommending that you sign up for a Facebook or Twitter account.

Are you one of those who think to themselves, Facebook isn’t going to help you become a better marketer? Facebook is for people with too much time on their hands. You’re not interested in looking at other people’s photos of their kids. Please!  STAGE ONE Completed!

Stage 2: Fine, Maybe I’ll Just Try…

The second stage of social media is where you’ve finally decided to let your guard down a little bit. You decide you’ll give it a shot; you create that Twitter account and get your business listed on Facebook. Not totally committed yet, you only tweet when you remember to (typically a few times a month or less) and you’ve synced your blog with Facebook so that it publishes content there without you having to do anything. You’re hoping that now that you’ve joined the social media revolution, the customers will come flying through your door and you can sit back and roll in the rewards. I mean, that’s what everyone was talking about when they told you to get involved, right? STAGE TWO Completed!

Stage 3: This Isn’t Working

In Stage 3, you start to get mad. You’ve had your social media accounts for several months but they’re still stuck in the experimentation stage. You’re still only tweeting when you feel like it, you’re sometimes engaging on Facebook, and you’re very lightly promoting the accounts when talking to customers. The result of being stuck in the experimentation stage is that you’re not seeing many results.

In fact, you’re not seeing any results. Social media isn’t working. And you’re mad.

The silver lining here is that the anger causes you to reevaluate what you’re doing and Stage 3 ends with a resolution to give things another, more human try. You stop the blind automation and start scheduling time to check in with social media and find people to talk to. It becomes part of your day, the way social media is supposed to be.  STAGE THREE Completed!

Stage 4: Things Are Feeling Comfortable

By Stage 4, you’re starting to get the hang of things. You’ve hit a groove. By participating consistently and scheduling social media into your day (like you do the rest of your tasks), you find the time to engage with your audience, answer questions and generally be a good social media citizen.

Most exciting is that you’re beginning to see results! You’ve noticed more engagement on your blog, your Facebook page is seeing better numbers, and more people are telling you they’re finding your business through social word of mouth. Things are starting to flow and you feel confident enough saying you’re “comfortable” rocking this whole social media thing. STAGE FOUR Completed!

Stage 5: OMG, Tools!

Now that you’re comfortable, you decide it’s time to get serious. You’ve seen the positive effects that social media can have on your business simply by engaging consistently and with a purpose. Now it’s time to take things to the next level by using social media tools to help offer some new insight. You’re using Klout and SproutSocial to help you measure influence and you’ve got yourself a Trackur account to help you find and respond to mentions of your brand faster than ever. Armed with these tools, you’re able to shine a light into your social media use and find new ways to connect, engage and increase your bottom line.  STAGE FIVE Completed!

Stage 6: Social Media Evangelist

By Stage 6 you’ve not only seen the social media light but you’re also preaching the benefits to everyone you know. When you stumble across someone still in Stage 1 of social media, you have to resist the urge to shake them and count off all the ways social media has helped your business.  Instead, you just send them a list of your favorite tools and case studies, confident that with just a little bit of guidance they’ll see the light.

What stage would you classify yourself in?

THE MORE YOU LEARN THE MORE SUCCESSFUL YOU WILL BE

Five Tips to Build Your Downline

How do you build your downline? What really is the key to success with network marketing? Listed below are my five favorite tips to grow your downline quickly, and build it right.

1) Look for Leaders: The easiest and fastest way to build your downline is to sponsor LEADERS. When you sponsor someone with previous network marketing experience who already has a large contact list (or downline), they will probably bring people into the business with them when they join your team. I’d rather sponsor three key leaders who have lots of influence, than sponsor 100 people who don’t have any previous network marketing experience.

2) Build Depth: As soon as you sponsor someone, you want to help them sponsor two or three people. Once you do that, you want to start working with the most excited person and help them sponsor two or three people. Next, you pick the most excited person in their downline and help them. You keep repeating this process until you build the leg 10-20 people deep. By doing so, you should find 2-3 key leaders in each leg who are very serious about building a business. In my opinion, this is another key strategy to build your downline quickly.

3) Work with the Producers and Ignore the Whiners: When you sponsor someone, they might talk a big game. However, actions always speak louder than words. If you really want to succeed, you need to spend most of your time working with the people that are actually producing the results. Ignore the whiners and focus on the winners. After all, you can only lead a horse to water; you can’t make him drink.

4) Get Customers and Provide World Class Customer Service: Many companies don’t teach this anymore, but I think it’s really important to get lots of customers. If you do this, you will make money. And if you treat your customers well, many of your happy customers will want to upgrade and become a wholesale distributor or business builder. In addition, many of your happy customers will also give you referrals. This is another great tip to build your downline.

5) Follow Up: Most people you talk to won’t join your business the moment you approach them about it. However, people’s lives do change. If you keep a good database of everyone you talk to, you can follow up with them every 3-6 months. You never know what might change in their life. They might have lost their job, got a new boss that they hate, or just paid an enormous tax bill. If you don’t follow up, you are leaving lots of money on the table. No doesn’t always mean no forever. It just means “no” right now.

In conclusion, if you want to build your downline the right way, and build it quickly, you should follow the advice listed above. You should focus on recruiting leaders. You should build depth as quickly as possible. Next, you should work with the people who produce the best results.

Furthermore, you should always provide great customer service, in order to get referrals and possibly upgrade some of your customers into distributors. Finally, you must follow up with every prospect regularly, in case they change their mind about your business opportunity.

If you follow these steps, you will build your downline into a large organization.

WATCH YOUR COMPANY GROW - MAP IT

Did you know you can have a personalized map for your Stream Business?

One of the advantages to using Google Maps is once you have targeted new distributors or prospects you can have their information at your finger tips. 

My favorite part is watching my business grow.  Here's how:


How to create a map of customers using Google Maps:

1. Sign up for Google account. http://www.google.com/  It is fast and easy just follow the directions.

Need help? Contact me via email, socialmedia@streamcosmetics.com and I will call and help you set one up.

2. Go to http://maps.google.ca

3. Click My Maps and Create a new Map-You can name it whatever you want and put in any information you may need. Choose Private or Unlisted(You might want to stick with unlisted because this is where you will put your customer information)

4. Search for the address of the customer you would like to save to your map. It will show you on the map where it is. Click Save to My Maps. Choose which map you want to save it to and press save.

5. After you click save you can put any information about your customer that you need. I put their name in the Title field, then their address, phone number, directions, etc When you're finished with that click OK.

6. To add more customers repeat steps 4 and 5.

With this map you can get directions to any of your customers, print out any part of the map you need, and keep track of all your new customers.

I love to see my map get fuller and fuller every day as I'm building my business. It's a great way to stay motivated too!
