Some Network Marketing Prospecting Tips

May 25th, 2009

Old school methods of finding prospects for your network marketing business might have been effective even a decade ago but today is a different story. You probably have heard your upline tell you to “make a list of everyone you know”. No matter how long or short that list is, eventually you will run out of prospects to speak with.

This method may have worked well “back in the day”, but it is flawed in today’s internet environment. Most people you approach are just not interested in what you have to offer.

Don’t get me wrong…you should consider people you think are leaders in your warm market and of course,let your close friends and family know that you have started a new business. You can even send out postcards and emails to your friends, but make sure that you give them a little value instead of hitting them with a sales pitch.

Network Marketing Prospecting Tips

Network marketing today is better served through Attraction Marketing. Through attraction marketing, you develop a relationship with your prospects.

Initial contact is extremely important, but so is the time directly afterwards. Below is a short list that will help you market to prospects:

1. In your article promotions you must grab the attention of your prospect so they get excited about what you have to offer. (Having a great headline is something that can help get their attention extremely quickly)

2. You then must excite your potential prospect. You must get them interested in your company and show them exactly what you can do for them. You must show your prospect what is in it for them.

3. By being a person of value, you earn the respect of your prospect.

4. Lastly, create an incentive for your prospect. You may want to give away a free report for example.

The process of network marketing does not have to be hard, and it can actually be very easy. The process can be extremely enjoyable if you think logically and work hard.

Effective Network Marketing Lead Generation Key To Business Growth

May 19th, 2009

One of the keys to any successful network marketing business is lead generation. Without lead generation your business is ultimately going to fail. Personally, I am not a fan of buying network marketing leads no matter what the price is. The main reason is that you are not in control.

What do we mean by not being in control? Basically you weren’t the one who generated the leads. How do you know how fresh the leads are you purchased or how they were generated? How do you know if these people haven’t already been called?

Network Marketing Lead List

The idea that when you start or join a business you should buy network marketing leads and purchase as many as you can to be successful is simply not true. Sites that sell these usually buy the best qualified lead to worst qualified lead, and most people buy the best which cost hundreds of dollars.

Unfortunately, at this point many people believe that the rest of their business will be extremely easy. The truth is most people may not even answer the phone and those that do are usually not very receptive.

This of course leads to the issue of constant rejection. A lot of times, people are surprised that you have their information and are not even sure how they got on to your list.

How Fresh Are Your MLM Leads?

It is important to know how fresh your MLM leads are because if they are not fresh they are virtually worth nothing. You then start to think that purchasing leads may have not been the best idea in the world. Network marketing lead generation can be successful, but it is extremely important that you are the one in control of your leads.

By being in control of your lead generation you know they are fresh and why they responded to your message. With your attraction marketing process in place, people will be contacting you. This makes for a happier network marketing experience for everyone.

Online Network Marketing VS Offline

There are two types of network marketing…online network marketing and offline. It has been debated as to which is the more effective method, however, using both methods together will help you bring in more business.

One tactic is not necessarily better than the other. If you can find a balance between these two methods and use them effectively, you will find success in the world of network marketing. Unfortunately many people do not have the ability to use both methods efficiently.

The Truth About An Easy Home Based Business

April 26th, 2009

Is there such a thing as an easy home based business? In the world of network marketing, too many people promote an easy home based business but the truth is its tough, especially when one is just starting out.

It’s one of the reasons the industry has such a high attrition rate. Many people go in expecting it to be a “piece of cake” then find out it’s more than just signing up and letting things happen.

Ann Sieg makes the point, in her hard-hitting report The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing. All too often people are enticed into network marketing by being told they don’t have to do any work and it would be done for them.

They’re told to sign up and the work would be done by their upline. All they have to do is make a list of names and attend meetings with prospects and they would be sold on the idea by their upline. If you’ve been in MLM for any amount of time you know how that works out.

The thought of and easy home based business creates a get rich quick mentality. Unfortunately when you are in this frame of mind, you’re going to struggle to build a business from home because once you start thinking like this, you’re conditioning your mind to expect things to happen for you without you actually doing anything. Then when things don’t go the way you thought they would, you start looking elsewhere or you give up altogether.

The Network Marketing landscape becomes covered with MLM “corpses” after this type of thinking and it’s a substantial reason why more than 90 per cent of start ups end in quitting their business within the first three months.

Today, with internet network marketing now becoming such a prominent business model, the same principles apply. If someone starts telling you that you can make a lot of money without doing much work with an easy home based business, turn and run the other way!

With internet network marketing, there is an immediate learning curve to overcome and it takes time to understand and learn how to implement online strategies to attract prospects into your business.

But here’s the good news… once you’ve learned to master these strategies it becomes easier and you’ll be amazed at how effortlessly you can attract prospects in numbers. Then, and only then, can you start viewing it as an easy home based business.
