The Most Effective Direct Sales Training Uses Accelerated Learning
Direct Sales is largely about effectively teaching people to duplicate your efforts. The Direct Sales teaching style of only listening and memorizing is out dated, boring, and is not the most efficient way to learn.
Books, seminars, and many mlm trainers often rely on listening and memorization as their main method for their audience to retain information. People learn while they are there, and some may take hand written notes with them home. Unless this information is reviewed several times using the various methods to stimulate the different senses, it will often be forgotten unless it is immediately applied in the real world.
When you are training your downline your lessons will be much better remembered if you create accelerated learning environments in your network marketing training. This will interest a broad range of people. Accelerated learning trainings don’t just tell you the information; they engage trainees in the process. While involved this way, people will learn with multiple senses.
These are some of the main benefits of Accelerated Learning;
1) Both sides of the brain are being used simultaneously making it much easier to remember and truly understand new materials.
2) There is interaction with others which not only elevates the energy and blood flow to the mind but also offers even better memory retention. This also creates a positive mental attitude which further contributes to learning.
Owning your own mlm company and all that is involved can be a challenge to understand and learn.
Stages of Learning
There are several stages of learning that one must go through to fully grasp any concept. This is especially true in Direct Sales because the last stage involves teaching, and if any concept is not fully understood it will not be able to be taught to others correctly.
Here are the 5 stages of learning any material:
1) Unconscious Incompetent - You don’t know, you don’t know the material
2) Conscious Incompetent - You are aware that you don’t know the material
3) Unconscious Competent - You are unaware that you know the material
4) Conscious Competent - You are aware that you know the material, and make conscious decisions to further your education in specific areas
5) Mastery - You have a firm grasp of the material, and can teach others with efficiency
Multi-Sense Learning processes use a mixture of techniques to teach a particular subject. When multiple teaching techniques are used it creates more interest and causes you to move your audience through the 5 stages of learning faster. The more engaged they are in the learning process, the more likely they are to retain the information, and the easier it becomes for them to teach it to others in their specific opportunity.
