P2P CONNECT INTRODUCTION
Are you a multi-level independent distributor of a product also known in marketing as direct selling? Well we have program that will help you in your personal business. We introduce the P2P Connect which is an online networking services that allow you to grow your contacts exponentially and thereby expanding your market coverage not limited to your friends and relatives. The problem of practitioners of Direct Selling is when the contacts run dry or when the contacts have run out of contacts thereby limiting if not totally runs out of market coverage.
The economic law of diminishing returns catches in on any direct selling distributor which will come sooner or later unless new contacts come which may not necessarily converts to sales or market. Its still a numbers game. The main concept of direct marketing is to get distributors and dealers who are consumer of the product and at the same seller and recruiter of more distributors. This became very popular in the 80's but has been declining since then owing to the proliferation of so many companies operating the same marketing system of pushing their products.
For direct selling to be sustainable over a long period of time, the company must continue to innovate products, introduce new products, and distributors must continue to recruit to build higher and higher pyramid of distributors and consumers.
Direct selling and marketing are not limited to those that offer products but that they include those that sells services and intangible products such as pre-need and Insurance. Whatever direct selling practitioners sell they have the same problem - steady stream of contacts that can potentially be converted to sales.
This program is designed for the self-employed direct sellers - P2P Connect. P2P stands for Person to Person which is the literal meaning of direct selling. The program will make use of the Internet and Social Media. Participants must have access to modern technology like Internet Connection, mobile phone, and computer which are indispensable tools for greater interaction and connectivity. It is a continuing program such that once enrolled, participants are guided in becoming entrepreneur and not just self employed direct selling - from sourcing for products and services available; building, developing and expanding market coverage through P2P, raising capital (“puhunan”), and continuing education in business.It is therefore an attempt to professionalize the Direct Selling Industry.

BUSINESS STARTUPS
There is a chinese saying that makes sense when it comes to starting up a business. "The journey of a thousand miles start with the first step". It means you will never get to where you want to be if you don't make that first step towards the destination you want in your life. This is applicable in putting up the business you want.
You must be able to muster that courage to make the leap of faith away from your comfort zone of fixed and regular income from the employment and regular you used to. While the reward and potentials are way desirable starting up is tough, way tougher than you think. There are challenges you will face but the journey towards your dream is one journey that begins with the first step and what is it.
The first step is to plan. It does not have to be an elaborate plan. You won't believe that many giant companies today even started with a plan scribbled by an entrepreneur on napkin while eating in a restaurant than those well laid plan on thick documents that never saw the light of day. That spark of an idea that enters the mind and makes one so excited and moved to act on it. That is the first step. A plan is an idea that is produced by the mind. What the mind can conceived and believed, it can achieved one writer once said.
In many startups phase it may just be you alone from the beginning, without any employees, it’s important at this early
stage to get the leadership basics right, so you’re ready when the business
starts to grow and you need to employ people.
We have this guidelines from one anonymous source which we will discuss more thoroughly how you can pick up some tips from them and apply it to your plans.
Getting the base right involves
developing the following attributes:
- Have a well-defined vision or purpose for the business
and a set of values that supports that vision. Ingrain your vision and
values into how you operate and make decisions as a business.
This includes decisions about employing the right people when the time comes. When you do have staff, your vision and values will also help them understand what’s expected of them and provide a strong beacon to guide their own actions and decisions. - Have a strong sense of the culture you want to achieve
for the business. The culture of the business will set the tone for how
people conduct themselves and interact with others both internal and
external.
Develop and protect that culture when you bring staff on board and then make them responsible for living by it and upholding it. - Assess your business strategy over the next three to
five years and your ability to execute it. What additional skills and
activities will you need to implement over this longer-term period? What
new products/services or new business units will you set up?
What new markets will you pursue? Who will be responsible for leading the charge to achieve these objectives?
Matching your business strategy against the resource and leadership skills required, allows you to identify gaps and start putting plans in place to address them. - As you build a team, develop their leadership skills as
well as their technical skills. It takes time for people to develop all
the attributes they require to be successful future leaders.
Start this process early on and build capability at all levels of seniority throughout your team.
Create opportunities for them to get practical experience on the job, make decisions appropriate to their role and learn how to perform under pressure. - Be clear about your key business drivers and make sure
everyone understands them. Leaders that focus on these drivers can use
them in efficient and effective decision-making.
Teams can rely on them to prioritise their work. This will help the businesses achieve its objectives now and in the future. - Lead by example. If you don’t embrace and believe your
own mantra, your team won’t either. You need to live by your vision,
values and the business culture you are creating.
You should also demonstrate the key qualities of leadership you want your team to display.
While it’s often thought leaders are born rather than made, there are a number of leadership characteristics that can be learned and should be incorporated into your team development approach: - Enthusiasm:
Leaders need to be motivated and passionate about what they do.
Infectiousness spreads and sets the tone for the rest of the team. It
also picks people up during the tough times, encourages them to keep
focusing on your objectives and pursue the activities that will achieve
desired outcomes.
Encouraging your team to identify their own personal goals that can be tied to career achievements. It will help them find the motivation and stamina to keep performing at a consistently high level. - Being open minded: Show your staff how to see things from different
perspectives when dealing with their colleagues and customers. Identify
potential conflict and use the opportunity to workshop different points
of view.
Having an open mind enables leaders to identify and consider all opportunities, work through differences of opinion and develop and maintain effective working relationships with people from all walks of life. - Being goal oriented: Clearly articulate the outcomes you aim to achieve
for the business. Better still, involve your team in planning and setting
your goals, as well as tracking your progress against the targets you
set.
You need your entire team engaged and contributing, so encourage them to set individual goals designed to support those of the business. - Being accessible: Leaders need to be accessible to support their teams
and keep their finger on the pulse of what’s occurring in the business.
It also provides the opportunity for them to learn by hearing or witnessing the sort of ideas and behaviour you want your team to emulate.
Make your team responsible and accountable for teaching and training each other and they will also learn to be accessible and responsive to each other. - Acknowledging accomplishment: Good leaders notice and congratulate their staff for
their accomplishments both big and small.
Everyone likes acknowledgement and it’s easy to give. Find opportunities for your team to tell each other about their wins and celebrate them.
Create the habit publically and they will often continue the acknowledgement between themselves, in one-on-one interactions as well. - Trust:
People need to trust their leaders in order to follow them. Teach your
team about the reliance they have on one another and how important it is
to build and maintain trust.
Ethics, integrity and honesty are important to building trust, as is taking responsibility for your own actions.
While these attributes are ones that should be learned by the time we are adults, you can clarify your expectations to your team and through doing so, emphasise their importance as part of the culture of your business. - Incorporate leadership skills into your performance
management processes.
Provide rewards for achievement in leadership and raise the bar each time to keep developing and honing these skills across in your team.
If you get the base right, you’ll be
primed to pursue opportunities and successfully manage growth.
