Importance of Having a System

If you are trying to build a company of any sort, be it an MLM business, an affiliate marketing business, or even a standard employee/employer business there is a common link. All successful businesses need a SYSTEM (Save YourSelf Time Energy and Money).

A good system is one that is completely duplicatable. Your SYSTEM must allow for a person with no experience to be successful by simply following your SYSTEM step by step. This will in-turn allow those you teach to pass on the SYSTEM to others creating tremendous profits for you with the least amount of personal effort.

Lets look at a company type that takes in new employees with little to no sales experience and hands each new employee the company’s SYSTEM. The end goal is to move from sales person to a leader of sales people and eventually to a business owner with his/her own team of workers. This idea carries forward and the original owner now has many business owners and even more sales people generating profit.

The system will teach the new employee all the techniques required to be a good sales person for a given product, techniques that work because they were developed though trial and error. Now the new employees don’t have to spend time, energy, and money trying to learn these techniques themselves.

But teaching is not a SYSTEM; this is only the beginning.

Where the teaching becomes a SYSTEM is in its ability to bring a new, inexperienced employee to business owner with as little effort as possible by laying down a step-by-step process that is completely duplicatable.

Each new position in the company comes with a new set of tasks and obstacles that the employee must overcome. The successful system will target and neutralize the obstacles FOR the employee. This is attainable by implementing the successful techniques for each position in the SYSTEM.

In the business type used in this example the new sales person reaches a predetermined goal and is awarded Leadership. The employee now must learn how to not only teach others HOW to sell, but must also learn how to be good leader in general. For example, keeping his/her team motivated on slow days. A good SYSTEM will have the teqhniques necessary built-in. Once the Leader has proven he/she can be aneffective leader and is able to follow the SYSTEM in place, a new position is awarded, one with more responsibility and more challenges. At each step along the way the owner of the business is not relying on his/her ability to be a good teacher, micromanaging the employee, or fixing mistakes because the SYSTEM is doing the work FOR the owner. This allows the owner to focus on the expansion of the business and keeping it up to date, rather than worrying about how to “fix” an employee.

Bottom line folks is that a good SYSTEM is fool-proof and 100% duplicatable. As long as the individual is folowing the system exactly as it is intended, success will come.
