We
have found seven skills or characteristics
that best help predict a person's ability
to build a successful BizTrek presence in
their community. We would like you to consider
these while determining whether an affiliation
with BizTrek make sense for you.
1)
A local business network: Having a good
community knowledge and a starting base of business
relationships makes your task much easier. Although
not required, existing local alliances will
speed the growth process ... and your income.
2)
Proven marketing or sales experience: Being
able to sell yourself as a credible marketing
professional with proven and real world experience
to supplement the BizTrek materials and processes
is crucial. We generally look for at least 10
years of successful experience in either the
sales, media relations, advertising, direct
response, or even the professional fund raising
arena.
3)
Self-Assured: We look for people who are
comfortable with some degree of uncertainty
and who have strong confidence in their ability
to get things done. As in every entrepreneurial
environment, your income will be directly tied
to your ability to produce results.
4)
Public speaking experience: Since many of
our programs are delivered to small groups,
you should be fairly comfortable in the public
speaking arena.
5)
Closing skills: As in any business, you
have to ask for the order, so some successful
sales and closing experience improves your liklihood
of success.
6)
Command presence: We look for people who
exhibit a "take charge" attitude from
a position of mutual respect.
7)
Creative Capacity: You should exhibit an
aptitude for "thinking on your feet"
and sharing stories from your pool of experience
to reinforce a crucial point of instruction.
If
you have these skills, you may be well positioned
for success as a member of the BizTrek team.
If you have most of them, your odds are still
strong and we will welcome the opportunity to
chat with you. If you do not have most of these
skills or characteristics, then you may wish
to consider other alternatives.
