First, let's examine your Company:

There are some real business builders in your company, right? People who make a lot of money? They represent same company you do, right? Since they represent same company you do, company can not be problem, because they have proven you can make money with this company.

Let's now look at your policies and procedures:

Does your company have same policies and procedures for everyone? Of course they do. Since heavy hitters are required to operate under same policies and procedures as you do, you are not at a disadvantage. Therefore, policies and procedures are not problem.

Now, lets look at compensation plan.

Does company have same Compensation Plan for everyone who joins? Are real business builders under same Compensation Plan as you, only a little higher up, and because of their production, maybe receiving some special bonuses? Will you be allowed to earn same bonuses as they are when you reach their level? If answer to each of these questions are "yes", then Compensation Plan can not be problem.

Now, let's look at products:

Are real business builders selling same products as you are? Of course they are. So products are not problem.

What is left? Only YOU.

1. BE UNIQUE

The best way to beat your competition is to promote a distinct advantage your customers cannot get from a competitor. This is often called your USP (short for Unique Selling Proposition). If you don't already have a distinct advantage, create one. Add something to your business you're not already doing. One network marketer I know doubled her sign up ratio by providing free sales leads to her new distributors for their first 4 months.

2. USE TESTIMONIALS

Collect and use testimonials. Testimonials from satisfied customers are similar to referrals. Both provide your prospect with evidence that your product or service produced results for other customers just like them. I've performed many tests using same messages with and without testimonials. Those with testimonials always increased sales, often by as much as 65% or more.

Don't wait for satisfied customers to volunteer a testimonial. Instead, follow up with some customers soon after completing a transaction. Ask what they liked best about your product, service or business opportunity. You'll get many flattering compliments. Ask for permission to use them in your promotions.

3. MAKE AN UPSELLING OFFER

Upselling is a proven technique you can use to get more money at point of sale. Customers will never be more receptive to an attractive offer from you than when they're paying you money. Offer your customers or clients option to upgrade to a better product or service at a special price. Or, offer option of adding a related item to sale for a special combination price. Many will accept your offer. An upselling offer can increase your average sale by 30 percent or more without creating any advertising expense.
