Network Marketing Quiz

“Are You Ready for Success in Network Marketing ?”  Quiz

To achieve success in your new Network Marketing business there are some basic elements that are important to have in place.  There are also a few skills that are important to either possess already, or develop over time.  The purpose of this questionnaire is to give you a sense of how ready you might be to dive into your new home based business and where you might wish to put some focus to maximize your potential.

Point System for Interpreting this Questionnaire

Each question that you answered with an “a” is valued at – 3 points
Each question that you answered with a “b” is valued at – 2 points
Each question that you answered with a “c” is valued at – 1 point

Now total up all of the points and apply the total to the following key:
25 to 30 – You are basically ready to start your own Network Marketing Home Based Business.  Be sure to make an appointment with one of us to go over this questionnaire and answer any additional questions you might have.
20 to 25 – A Network Marketing home based business may or may not be right for you right now.  It would be really valuable for you to spend some time with one of us to gain further insight as to a future home based business.
Less than 20 – While not entirely out of the question, this is most likely not the best time to start your own business.  If you do have some desire to start your own home based business then it is imperative that you seek out an appointment with one of us.  We can help you set a curse of action as to how you might be more prepared and ready to start your own home based business at some point in the future.

You can always take this test over in a month or two or more to check back in to see
where things stand for you.

Questionnaire Review for Further Study

1)  How much time do you have each week to devote to a new Network Marketing Business?
a) 8 to 12 or more hours per week
An obvious asset when you have more time to devote to your business.
b) 5 to 8 hours per week
Can still be done but requires that the hours you do spend are very productive and focused
c) less than 5 hours per week
Some progress can happen and you simply have to have more long term patience

2)  How much investment capital do you have available each month to give to your business over the first 12 months of your business?
a) $400 – $600 or more
This gives you an optimal opportunity to give the resources to your business that it deserves
b) $200 – $400
Strict budgeting is important here and sweat equity can make up for low funds availability
c) less than $200
More sweat equity is required. There is the possibility of frustration when a marketing opportunity happens and you can’t take advantage of it due to lack of investment capital.

3)  How much effort have you put into finding the right home based business?
a) I have put a great deal of thought and research into finding a home business
A thorough due diligence process shows a serious desire
b) I have been thinking about it on and off for a while and have looked at a few things here and there.
Getting more in touch with your reasons for wanting a home business might help.  Be careful to not just “jump” into something impulsively and waste your money
c) The thought just popped into my head so I thought to look at a couple of opportunities
There is a lot to consider when starting your own home business. It might help to get some coaching or mentoring to learn what to look for and what to be sure and avoid out there in the marketplace

4)  On a scale of 1 to 10, with “10” being “very strong” and “0” being “very weak” where are you at in terms of how strong your desire is to start a home based business?
a) 8 to 10
A strong desire is simply a part of success
b) 6 or 7
Look internally to connect more intimately with why your success is important
c) 5 or less
Take a look at what you would like to make better in your life.  Would more time, more money, or more freedom be a significant benefit for you.  Check inside to see if you have “given up” on some of your dreams.  We have seen amazing turnarounds in life with home business success.

5)  With regards to the closest people in your life, how supportive would they be in you choosing to start your own Network Marketing home based business?
a) very supportive
That’s great, we need all the support we can find
b) somewhat supportive
It would be important to achieve success as quickly as possible to let your success garner the support that you deserve
c) probably not supportive
It is especially important to gain support from your mate if you are married.  It may take time and a little work and perhaps having a business coach speak to both of you at the same time might assist

6)  How much time, effort, or money have you spent on “personal development” activities in this last year?  (these are things like books, tapes, classes or seminars to help you grow as a person)
a)  I am a big believer in personal growth seminars, books and CD’s.
You are probably already aware of the fact that most of the time, success happens when we work harder on ourselves than we do on our business
b)  I have had a moderate interest in these kinds of activities
Consider this: Connecting with the traits, habits, mindset and beliefs of the world class has a way of rubbing off
c)  I don’t have time for things like that
Perhaps let’s rephrase answer “b” above.  The absolute fastest way to success is having mentors.  Take a look at your desire to achieve the success you are looking for and work to find someone that you would like to learn from.

7)  In general, do you enjoy helping people?
a)  I love helping people
This business could very well be a natural and dynamic fit for you
b)  I enjoy helping others on occasion
Think about what it is that you experience when assisting another
c)  I prefer to work by myself
There are many that simply do work best by themselves and that’s great.  Network Marketing may not be the best business for you

8)  As far as the people you have had in your life as role models (including your parents), how many of them had their own successful business?
a)  I’ve known quite a few people in the course of my life that have owned their own business
Having seen others succeed with their own business makes it a natural part of who you are
b)  I’ve known just a few people in the course of my life that have owned their own business.
Perhaps seek out a book or business owner that you are attracted to in order to connect with the benefits of owning your own business
c)  Almost everyone I know has a job and is on salary.
Owning your own business is a different experience than being on salary. What might really help you connect with owning your own home business is to speak with one of us on this topic

9)  Would you say you have an easy time connecting with people?
a)  I can start a conversation with anyone, anywhere, at any time.
You can use this skill to move forward in your business very dynamically
b)  Usually I let others start a conversation then I can easily join in, sometimes I Initiate
You will love the communications skills that develop naturally for all of us in this business
c)    I am pretty uncomfortable speaking with people I don’t know
There is good news for you!  Our first goal in speaking to someone is to make a friend, not sell them on something.  After all, it is much easier to communicate with friends than strangers isn’t it?  The communication skills one develops in this business can be life changing

10)  What kind of genuine difference would a successful home based business make in your life?
a)  It would make a huge difference in my life
Our success in Network Marketing is directly related to having powerful reasons to succeed.  Continue to focus on “why” your success is important and you will go far
b)  I am not sure but I am ready to find out
Look a little deeper to connect with “why” it is truly important for you to succeed.  Is it more time with your kids, more time for self?  The more meaningful it is the more powerful your business will grow.
c)   I am not sure and I am hesitant to commit to anything

There may be a fear of not being able to succeed in your own business.  Guess what, everyone going into business has some fear. Successful people simply don’t let their fear stop them from going for it, that’s all!

Dare to dream again and perhaps take advantage of some great mentoring and coaching.
