Your MLM success strategy as a network marketer you believe is to recruit people over the phone and in person. Like a military operation you seek isolate and recruit. How would your prospect describe you as a marketer would he feel you are trying to help him or just sell him? Do you know how to avoid sounding like you’re trying to sell?

Your Prospect’s Perspective

You finally decided to put your contact info into an opportunity form. You did it Monday evening after work and since then, you have had calls every day and even several each evening. When that first marketer called and interviewed you, you were quite nervous and apprehensive because you really did not know what you’re getting yourself into. The first person that called you seemed nervous and he asked tons of questions many of which you thought were really none of his business. It seemed like he was reading something off a piece of paper because he was really jerky when he spoke.

Every one that joins a network marketing business must prospect for MLM home based business leads that ultimately will become the gold of their business.

The winter of 1848, gold was discovered at Coloma and the California gold rush quickly began. Many folks sold everything they had in hopes of making the big strike, yet sadly most found only broken dreams. For many this is the case in network marketing, with over 97% investing their money with the hope of striking it rich or at least living comfortable for the rest of their life.

When the gold rush began all those miners needed picks and shovels and numerous supplies to launch their hunt for those nuggets of gold. Small mining towns began to appear and provided the necessary supplies to the miners. Every minor needed a pick and shovel and while they didn’t always find gold they gave their money to the shopkeepers who supplied them. Many of those shopkeepers also hunted for gold and some even found it. The shopkeepers who prospected for gold did not rely on finding gold to sustain themselves while they hunted for it.

There was nothing unethical about the shopkeepers investing their money in setting up implement stores. The need was there and they provided a necessary service. Nobody that went hunting for gold would have said that their primary purpose was to buy picks and shovels, it was simply just necessary to have them in order to find the gold.

In network marketing you also do prospecting (for MLM home based business leads) and just like the miners you need to have an MLM version of a pick and shovel. If you do not have any immediate success in your prospecting efforts how will you fund your business in six months? If you are not funded effectively just like the miners of 1948 your efforts will collapse and with it, any investment you made up to that point.

When you bring a new representative into your team it is your responsibility to advise them on what they will need for tools and funding in order for them to be successful. You will want to teach them how to prospect effectively. Too many people get involved in network marketing and have absolutely no support or training in how to prospect and then they end up quitting. The average length of time that it takes for a new distributor to join and then quit their network marketing business is approximately 63 days.

Okay, so you want to be a success and you don’t want to fail within the national average of 63 days, but you don’t have very much money to build your business and you need to have funding. What if you sold some picks and shovels to some miners until you were able to find enough gold that you could live off your primary business income? In other words, what if you were able to help people who are involved network marketing by providing them with the training and tools they need and it helped offset your operating expenses? You provided a needed service and in exchange you are compensated for your efforts.

With over 15 million people involved in network marketing and 97% of them in need of help, it would seem ridiculous to not help them if it will help you fund your business. I struggled with the idea of doing affiliate marketing for a long time because I felt that it was a distraction from my business. Over time however, it became apparent to me that if I helped people in their existing businesses other than my own, I would then create a relationship of trust. Many of those people I helped would over time want to work with me in my own business. Zig Ziegler said that if you help enough people get what they want you will get everything that you want.

As a result of this new understanding that I had in the summer of 2009 I teamed up with a group of MLM leaders that come from a variety of MLM businesses to share our knowledge and tools so that others may experience the success that we have. Are these tools really necessary or are they just a money grab? Let me pose this scenario to you: a man works in a rice field with an ox and a wooden cultivator planting a crop, works tirelessly 12 hours a day for two weeks. Or, a 16-year-old boy sitting in an air-conditioned $500,000 tractor pulling a $200,000 Seeder listening to the latest rock music working only one 12 hour day and yet gets 100 times the amount of work done compared to the man and ox were able to accomplish in two weeks.

Tools do make a difference in prospecting for MLM home based business leads. It makes more sense to work smart and hard than it does to just work hard. If you would like to see a tool that can help you fund your primary business and help others in the process click on Picks and Shovels.

A good friend and colleague said on a call sometime ago that when you get involved in network marketing you have two choices you can either create a list of names of people to call from those you know or you can purchase a list of names from a leads vendor.

One of the most common things I have found to occur when training people to do marketing is to get them over feeling uncomfortable about presenting their business opportunity to the people they know. It would seem for most, that it is far easier to sell something to a stranger than it is to somebody you care about. I have heard people say over and over again well before I sell it to my friends I first of all have to believe in it. These same people are often willing to spend $200.00 or $300 per month buying MLM home based business leads.

Which Approach Works Best? Would You Like To Know……?

Have you been wondering if you should use online methods or should you use face to face marketing? This is a question that has grown into a real buzz over the past 5 years. Have you been struggling with using the 3 foot bump into philosophy or do you find calling cold market home based business leads more painful?  Each person that comes into network marketing with strengths and weaknesses, so how do you decide which is best for you? Does one way stand out as the best?

In this writer’s opinion it does not matter which reaching out method you use to get home based business leads because at the end of the day it comes down to you and your ability to connect with your prospect. Network marketing is all about creating relationships and helping people achieve success in their business. Think of the Internet like an ad in the newspaper – the newspaper is reaching out to people 24 hours a day as long as someone sees the ad. They call in and ask for information about your business which is the same basic process that happens via the net.

I’m going to reveal an MLM success strategy in this article that will put a check in your bank account every month when you put it to work. This strategy will work in any kind of economy and will work in any kind of network marketing business. This is one strategy that you want to put to work in your business immediately.

If I were to go back a year ago and look at how I did my business I would feel my wallet begin twisting in my pants pocket. The amount of money that I invested in advertising over the past decade is staggering and for the most part it was all squandered.

It is not that I didn’t call the leads that I purchased immediately it was that after I called them, qualified them, presented the business and either sign them into my business or let them go. It was all the people that I call that did not join my business that resulted in my leaving thousands of dollars in my e-mail trashcan.

When she signs up into my business I am going to have one of the best leaders anywhere!

Building your MLM business with purchased Network Marketing Leads can be as painful as hitting your hand with a hammer. Calling purchased leads can be effective but it requires a lot of commitment to developing your skills on the phone and it is not very duplicateable.  Some of the challenges that you can experience are:

• Most people Seeking a Home Based Business – Have Limited A Limited Budget For Advertising
• Cannot Afford To Purchase Leads In A Large Enough Volume To Stay Ahead Of Attrition
• Purchased Leads Are Not Easy To Convert – Excellent Phone Skills Required
• Duplication Issues – Few People Are Willing To Invest Large Sums of Money In Advertising and then spend large blocks of time calling Leads and getting little results.

When a new distributor starts their MLM business they often say that they would prefer to call leads and for those sponsors that don’t know how to generate their own leads the new distributor is face with enormous costs and if not given a lot of support failure is a certainty.

The new distributor will encounter leads that:

• Leads Hang up on them
• Leads Looking For A Job
• Leads Looking To Own A Business For Free
• Leads become Angry Because They Have Received So Many Calls
• Leads Are Very Old And Don’t Even Recall Asking For Info

There is a better way to build an MLM business using the Internet and it involves using a proven system that creates a Traffic Funnel of qualified people that know your name and face before you ever to talk to them.

These leads understand that Network Marketing is a real business and understand that the Internet offers a vast source of prospects for their business. Building their MLM using the net they avoid all the tire kickers and people that believe network marketing is a scam. The trust issues that existed with the cold calling purchased network marketing leads still exists but is a mere shadow of what it was.

Using the Internet you position yourself as a Leader ….. a true consultant. You can help people in their existing businesses and earn an income and over time develop a relationship that can result in a new recruit in your business. Often distributors become orphaned with no one to help them in developing their business and this is an opportunity for you to help them and in doing so you become very attractive to work with as an upline. You have a system, you have marketing support and you are taking the time to help. You are a leader and as a result you will have people asking to join your business. Best of all you will be able to help them generate their own network marketing leads for free!

If you are looking to become successful in your network marketing and Internet business MLM online, then you have to put the focus on yourself and not on your products or services. You need to have you as a focal point because people don’t join businesses they partner with people. Ask yourself this question: why would people would want to join my business? If you cannot answer that question then you need to sit down with a piece of paper and start to think of reasons why they should.

Network Marketing And Internet Business / Mlm Online companies typically provide replicated websites that focus on their products or services; however, people looking for a business to get into are not really looking for a business there looking for what the business can do for them. The problem that people who are new to the industry have is the lack of skill in the area of marketing. Therefore, it is critical for the professional network marketer that is intending to build his business using the Internet to develop a number of skill sets that can help his new recruits become successful online.

You have gone through your friends and family and they have warned you that if you talk to them about your business again they will have you taken and shot at sundown. You have choices now and many of them can be very expensive because now you’re going to enter into the arena of advertising. You see you either buy a list or build one and since you’ve expended all of the people that you know you’re now facing a huge potential expenditure with no assurance of success.

I have purchased people’s names and phone numbers for over nine years and I have at times felt that it would have been less painful to get my hand with a hammer and to call some of the people that I had in my list of names. Still in spite of this I built a fairly large organization over the course of five years. What I learned from this experience was simply that the larger my advertising budget was the more people I had to speak to. The more people I had to speak to the more successful I was. It would have been great if I could have just chosen three of my favourite people in the world and they made me rich but the reality was I had to call an awful lot of people to find leaders.

Here is the sales funnel for your Network Marketing MLM Home Business that you need to create if you want to have significant growth in your business.

1. Create tons of traffic to your website
2. Use a system that converts traffic into leads
3. Use a system that can help you develop a relationship with your leads
4. Use a system that monetizes your leads
5. Convert your leads into business partners

I have said this in a number of articles in the past that I have written success in marketing is never an accident, it is the result of what I call network marketing “L.U.C.K.”

L. = Labor
U. = Under
C. = Correct
K. = Knowledge

People who say okay I’ll join your Network Marketing / MLM Home Business and give it a try and see if it works have absolutely no hope of success. While they might openly say to you that they are not looking for a get rich quick scheme that is exactly what they had in mind. They may not think it’s morally correct to become rich but they do think that it’s perfectly fine to become successful without any commitment on their part. The only way anyone will succeed in business is when they make the decision to succeed no matter what and no matter how long it takes.

Do not put any kind of limitation on your reaching out methods, as this will slow your progress or stop it completely. I would encourage everybody reading this article to read another one called “Acres of Diamonds”. What is most important is that you incorporate every possible reaching out method that you can. This is not to say that you should not focus in a particular marketing approach it simply means that you should always be keeping your eyes out for potential business partners as you go through your life.

When you have hundreds of people approaching you each month about your Network Marketing MLM Home Business you will find your success is going to grow proportionately. Rather than having one person shoveling that Mountain imagine having an army of hundreds or perhaps even thousands. Now the task of moving a mountain does not seem that great. So if your sales funnel is large enough you can indeed move a mountain.

If you’re interested in finding out how to generate 20 leads a day without an advertising budget for your Network Marketing MLM Home Business your part of a growing number of people. I found a system that teaches this and a lot more, personally I love it – it has totally transformed my marketing online. If you want to learn about it go to my website to access some info on it and right now you can even take advantage of a Free 8 Day Video Marketing Boot Camp. Click On : MLM Success Strategy.

Full disclosure: The link above is a not-very-well camouflaged affiliate link, and if you choose to use this system , I’ll probably get an affiliate commission.

Enjoy!
