subject: The Mcdonald's System [print this page] When you walk into a McDonalds, who usually takes your order? There are a lot of young kids that work and even run these multi-million dollar restaurants. How is this possible? They have the best systems in place that are easy to follow and proven to work. When you walk up to the counter, which way is the french fry machine? It is to your left. It doesnt matter which one you walk into, its always in the same place. If McDonalds didnt have those systems in place, they would not have as many locations; its that simple.
McDonalds makes the best hamburgers, dont they? Ok, maybe not. If you had the opportunity to have your last hamburger, would you pick McDonalds? I know I wouldnt. They dont make the best hamburger by any stretch. How can they be the largest fast food chain in the world if they dont have the best food? McDonalds has a proven system and formula that works. Unless your company is brand new, you have systems that you can plug into right away.
One of the reasons why McDonalds is able to open up so many restaurants is because they teach a system that is:
1) Easy to follow 2) Proven to work
Your business functions very similar to a McDonalds. There are systems in place that have been proven to work, that anyone can plug into. A few basic systems you need include:
A presentationeither online or offline, hopefully both
A way to keep track of contacts warm market list
Marketing materials that you can give or send to people
This business is simple. It comes down to meeting people and making presentations. Thats it. If that were all you focused on all day every day, youd be ahead of 95% of all network marketers. McDonalds started with three items on their menu- hamburgers, shakes, and fries! McDonalds got really good at duplicating the processes for those three items. Your business is no different. Become really good at the basic steps to building and duplicating the process to others.
Armed with this information now, you can either believe it and go out and make it happen, or you can try to develop your own system. Its up to you.
If you opened a McDonalds tomorrow, you would follow the formula. You wouldnt even think to try something new. Why not go with what works? Why not model the success of others?
