Being intimidated by unexplored territories is a very normal human defence tactic. This reflex action usually protects you from danger and shields you from harm. But, there are instances where this intense fear towards the unknown holds you back from succeeding in life. Well, isn’t it one of the reasons that inhibit you from pursuing a career as a direct selling agent?
Yes, this reluctance can be heightened by the society surrounding you. Our society regards the field of business and entrepreneurship as something dangerous and alien. These fields have a bad reputation in our country. But should the idea of being an entrepreneur or a direct selling agent be treated with fear and uncertainty? Is this whole thing a scam to trap people and extort them? Well, there is the only way to find out, right? Let’s continue examining the story of a successful direct-selling agent like Narendra Kriplani. After going through them, you may change your preconceived notions against entrepreneurship and direct selling.
How did Narendra start his journey as a direct selling agent?
Narendra Kriplani distinctly remembers his life before QNET. He quotes, “To be very honest, before QNET, I was just existing. I had no realisation of life. With QNET, I started living. I got excited about life.” Before joining hands with QNET, Kriplani was just an employee who worked from morning nine to evening five, like most of us. He was stuck in that company like the majority working in a managerial role for almost eight years. As a result, both he and his wife led an average life with absolutely zero progress and excitement. Only after joining the QNET in 2008 as a direct selling agent did he begin to experience life. As Narendra states, he didn’t truly understand the meaning of living life to the fullest until he decided to be a part of this family as a direct selling agent.
Did being a direct selling agent influence you in any way?
Narendra Kriplani went through a tremendous change when he shifted the trajectory of his career from being a manager of a telecommunication company to a direct selling agent. Both the job profiles have major differences between them. As a result, he would have had interesting experiences and major changes in his life, right? But did the change in his career in any way affect him on a personal level?
Narendra agrees with this notion. He states, “My experiences and learnings as a QNET entrepreneur made me dream again and inspired me to work hard for my dreams.” QNET was basically like a fresh breath of air into his life. It reignited the fire that was put out long ago by his restrictive managerial job. QNET, or the opportunity to become a direct selling agent, actually allowed him to experience life to its fullest potential than mere existence.
How did you manage to achieve a Platinum Star rank in QNET?
Platinum star rank is among the highest ranks a direct selling agent can acquire from QNET. Narendra defines the Platinum Star rank as the “byproduct or a well-deserved consequence of focusing on the right things and constantly aiming to help your sales team advance or maintain ranks.” As a direct selling agent, he strongly believes that to raise or improve oneself; one has to help the people around them. He said that this ideology he acquired from QNET helped him in his successful journey. “This made me focus on the growth of each and every person in my sales team. I empower them and ensure that they have the right knowledge and mindset to go out there, close product sales and let more people see this amazing business opportunity that QNET offers.” He believes that improving oneself by improving all is the key to success.
Narendra Kriplani’s success tips for direct selling agents
In an interview with QNET, he mentioned four pointers he followed to become a successful direct-selling agent. They are;
First, always remember that small thing’s matter. The things that you choose to do must lead towards giving you the results you aspire for. Don’t lose your focus.
Another thing is practising silence and calmness. One of the things I have been very thankful for is that through QNET, I got introduced to SOS, and I still practice this daily. It keeps me grounded.
I have also been closely tracking my team’s business progress. I track and plan a lot. I always have a 3-6 months plan and write them down in my planner. This habit keeps me focused.
Lastly, I read a lot of books. I have read over 300 books since I joined QNET- books about spirituality, leadership, meditation, success, etc. Through books, I take wisdom from the authors. This gives me an edge in doing business and in building relationships with people.
That is the story of Narendra Kriplani, a normal employee who took a calculated yet risky step into the unknown and emerged as one of India’s most successful direct selling agents. So, what are you waiting for? Join QNET and start your success journey now!
