When I first became involved in network marketing one of the first things I was asked to do for my mlm lead generationwas to create a list of names of people that I knew. I was told that the larger the list I created the better. I recall thinking to myself after I put the third name down on paper that creating a list of names was going to be more difficult than I thought.
One of the problems that I had when I was writing out my list of names was that I was trying to come up with names of people that I thought would join my business. What I should’ve done was to simply read out the names of people that I knew and not worry whether not they would be interested in my business at all.
Having been a manager and a long-term employee of the company that I worked for, I had access to a large list of names on our corporate employee list. Shamefully this was the list that I used for my mlm lead generation assignment to set off on my first serious network marketing venture. I thought that I would just tell these folks how much money they could make and they would all want to join me. Nothing could have been further from the truth, although I signed up a number of people from this list many of the people that I called wanted nothing to do with it.
There were a number of people that I had thought of after I started using this employee list that I believed I would have no difficulty whatsoever in recruiting. I went at them like a starving squirrel looking for the last peanut on earth. I believe that some of the people that I eventually signed up from this group only joined my business so that I would leave them alone. If this is something that you are doing, I would encourage you to stop, friendship is not something that should be monetized. I’m not suggesting that you shouldn’t let your friends know what you’re doing, because I believe that only makes sense. What I’m suggesting to you is that you let them know what you’re doing and then let them decide for themselves if they’re interested or not.
Three simple ways to approach people in your local area:
1. The Direct Approach
2. The Indirect Approach
3. The Extremely Indirect Approach
Note: People will join for their own reasons and not yours -so find out their reasons.
The Direct Approach would suggest the you already know this person and you might start off with something like:
John I was just heading out the door so I don’t have much time to talk but I’m really glad I was able to catch you. When you told me that you were looking for another way to create an income from home, were you serious or really just kidding around?
Give John a complement -[should be a sincere one] example: John you’ve always been really good with people and that’s something that I’ve always admired about you.
John I believe I have come across something that might work for both of us. If I gave you a DVD to watch a presentation that professionally goes over in detail a business would you look at it?
You would? Great when would you have a chance to look at it? This evening? Okay, so if I called you tomorrow evening would you look at it for sure? Okay what’s the best time to call? Look I’ve got run so I’ll talk to you tomorrow evening.
