Goals are crucial to success in any organization. This is especially true in success for Network Marketers who operate independently or in smaller units. Network Marketing organizations focus on goal setting as the key to success.
My wife’s Mary Kay sales team frequently holds unit goal-setting meetings. Mary Kay Corporate hosts quarterly meetings that always talk about goal setting. Having Goals is beneficial.
