Prospecting Strategies: Divide and Conquer

Many network marketing reps struggle as far as prospecting is concerned.

One of the reasons why they are so uncomfortable when approaching their friends is because they are fighting an uphill battle against their group of friends.

Granted, it is very difficult when you are doing it alone. After all, peer pressure is against you and the only way you can successfully convince your friends to join your network marketing is if you and another partner are working as a team.

The first and most notable example of working together as a team is with your spouse or your significant other.

The man will usually talk business, because most prospects usually perceive the man as the one holding the authority (not that women are inferior, but they have more powerful ROLES in different areas).

The women on the other hand, will do well trying to relate to the prospect through products and services.

With that said, don’t fight to be the boss – learn to examine the situation.

This sort of tag team prospecting is even more effective when dealing with couples because while the man talks about business plans in the living room, the women can chat all about products in the kitchen.

If you do not have a partner, you can always pair up with your upline or a side line (sometimes, it even works with downlines… after all, there is power in numbers). If your upline and you know a mutual friend, greatest leverage you have to convince a common friend to sign up is to use social leverage (after all, ‘everyone else’ is in… what about you?) This works even well if your upline has credibility and is someone who is well respected, you will have better chances for success.

The most important thing is to make sure you do not do this business alone. Network marketing is a business that puts you in business for yourself, but you are NOT going to work by yourself. Trying to go solo in your network marketing business is suicidal because if your downlines try and pick it up, they will each do things their own way (solo) and you will have a heck of a problem when your group reaches a large number.

Another reason why it is very difficult to work alone is because you don’t have all the time in the world to go running around prospecting and taking care of all your downlines at the same time. You need to share the load and give some credit to your downlines as they look out for one another when you are not around.

You are in business for yourself, but not BY yourself. You must learn to divide and conquer as you work together with your uplines, downlines, sidelines and even the staff in the company. When your prospect see you walk down the isle and the managers and staff are all waving to you, it gives you a lot of credibility (when they wave to you and you go, “By the way, that’s the managing director of the company…”)

Remember, there is strength in numbers.

Definition Of Network Marketing

There are many definitions of network marketing.

Some people say that it is a business that is all about sharing. Some people say that it is a business that pays you a multi-tiered form of compensation. Many others also say that it is a form of unethical pyramid selling system!

But I truly believe that the right definition of network marketing is a business system or model that allows you to move products through a large network of distributors and consumers. In other words, network marketing allows any person to be in a business for themselves but not BY themselves.

Network marketing requires you to do the following:

(1) Generate leads for your business
(2) Prospecting those leads
(3) Building a solid relationship with them
(4) Selling products and services with them
(5) Training people to train others do the same thing as what you are doing now

What defines network marketing is the fact that it is a business of moving products. In order for you to move products effectively, you must generate leads to accomplish that. But in order to ‘sell’ effectively, you must make sure you spend time generating the right kind of leads rather than useless leads who are not interested in consuming or moving your product.

Once you find the right kind of leads, you must engage in prospecting where you share your business opportunity with your prospect. But don’t just blabber on like a motor-mouth… you need to listen to what problems your prospects are facing and how you can find a solution to their problems with your business opportunity. It could be a financial problem or a personal problem (like proving to their friends and family that they can be successful).

Once you have developed good rapport with your prospects, you can start training them to do the same thing through duplication. It is one of the most important aspects.

Basically, network marketing is also a business where teaching is involved. It is more of an art rather than a science because different people respond differently to different situations. Do not try and become a retail sales superstar by moving tons of products all by yourself. Most of the time, you will burn out if you do not leverage on your uplines or your downlines.

When you learn how to leverage on other people’s expertise, you will be able to function better as a team rather than going solo. Remember, you are building your OWN business but you are not alone in network marketing.

Low On Budget? Here’s How To Get Free MLM Leads

If you are having problems trying to get Free MLM leads then it is about time you start to take advantage of what the Internet has to offer.

Gone are the days of trying to meet strangers in parties, motivation and business seminars or even in other network marketing companies as a spy. There are even more extreme cases of people trying to get MLM leads by helping foreigners in airports by carrying their luggage in an effort to get their contact numbers.

This is the 21st century and it would be very awkward to be employing obsolete lead generating methods that were used in the 70s.

If you want to find an effective way to get free MLM leads without running around like a mad ‘MLM’ dog, then you will need to tap into the power of the Internet and build a list of prospects that will follow you no matter what network marketing company or home business opportunity you go to.

Here are my top 4 recommendations for getting free leads.

(1) Start an MLM blog.

An MLM blog is always the starting point for any budding network marketer because if you are not ‘connected’ to the web, you will fall behind. An MLM blog serves as your presence on the Internet and builds your ‘offline’ brand as well. After all, you can never put a price tag on your own name and your name is something that no one can ever take away.

(2) Use Social Networking platforms to start a community

Social Networking platforms are some of the most visited sites on the entire planet! Sites like Facebook and MySpace dominates the Internet with millions of visitors pouring in each day. If you are able to tap into the massive traffic there and start an MLM community, you will always have free MLM leads pouring into your sales funnel.

(3) Join Popular Forums

There are many MLM forums on the Internet that talks about everything under the sun in the MLM industry. Making friends there is a very good way to get free MLM leads, but make sure you do not become a spammer.

(4) Drive Traffic Using Article Marketing

Writing articles is also a very good way to generate lots of free MLM leads. If you have a flair for writing and you can easily produce articles, you can drive traffic from article directories. It is also a very good way to pick up traffic from search engines as well because they tend to rank very well on Google.

Network Marketing Prospecting Secrets

Network marketing prospecting may seem like a nightmare to most network marketing newbies, but you can easily overcome your fear of network marketing prospecting by learning to generate your leads using the Internet.

You can still build your network marketing business using old school methods such as cold calling business cards, inviting friends and relatives to your business meetings and putting call cards and running classified ads on the newspapers. However, these methods have been overused to the extent that there are a lot of people who have gotten ‘immune’ to these types of calls. You can learn to be an MLM ‘phone God’, but you might not be able to teach all your downlines to do the same thing.

By going on the Internet you are able to access millions of visitors without talking to a single lead. If you want to be able to master the art of network marketing prospecting on the Internet, it would serve you well to become a master of generating traffic to your websites.

Getting traffic is considered one of the most important aspects in Internet marketing. Your network marketing business will thrive when you have a few hundred hits on your MLM blog and your lead capturing pages.

A common criticism of online network marketing prospecting is that it is very difficult to build a solid relationship on the Internet. Critics deride the fact that network marketing is all about person-to-person interaction and since the Internet does not give that kind of luxury to its users, building a long term network marketing through the net is close to impossible.

On the contrary, building a network marketing business on the Internet is much easier thanks to tools such as Skype, blogs, podcasting, YouTube and social marketing tools. You do not need to be afraid that you can not interact on a personal level with your leads.

You can also build relationships using newsletters. A good newsletter contains a lot of useful information and network marketing tips. You can use your autoresponder to automate the process for you by uploading sections on your newsletter to your autoresponder and it will send it out every single day or at any interval that you desire.

One very important aspect about network marketing prospecting is that you must never pitch your network marketing opportunity on the front end. Remember, only after building strong relationships will you gain their trust. Network marketing is a long term business after all.

How To Build Depth In Your Network Marketing Business

You do not need to have a Master’s degree in mathematics in order to understand the mechanics of a network marketing compensation plan.

You have to understand, a subject like accounting might be a difficult subject for certain people, but they still learn about it because they have to balance their checkbooks! The same goes for network marketing compensation plans because one wrong ‘move’ by placing the wrong downline could result in thousands of dollars of lost income!

But one thing is definitely certain; you must build depth in your network marketing business. (Depth means sponsoring downlines who have their own downlines down several levels deep)

Depth building is different from building width. When it comes to building width, all you need to do is sponsor tons of downlines personally. All those downlines are ‘parked’ directly under you and you will be spending most of your time taking care of all those downlines because these people are most likely your personal contacts, friends and relatives.

Building width is very good, but there is one problem… if you go too wide, you will wind up having too many ‘babies’ to take care off. You cannot take care of so many people at once. Face it; network marketing is a business that involves personal training and face to face interaction. To be truly effective, you must be prepared to spend some personal time with your people.

Let’s say that you have 5 downlines that you have personally sponsored. Assuming that you have a full time job, you can only effectively spend one of your nights for each person. Your downlines might have their own prospects and they will bring them to you because you have more experience than your newly signed up downline.

If you have more than 10, it will be very difficult to manage all of them and your downlines will be neglected. This is one of the reasons why some people perceive network marketing to be a bad business… because their uplines have no time for them!

Building depth is very important because you don’t just want to be the person with all the downlines; you want your downlines to have their own people as well! You want them to be independent and strong!

Here’s what you need to do. When you find the right person, the person whom you feel he or she is worth your time, you must train them to find their own downlines first. When they sign up their new prospect, you mustn’t stop there; you must train your downline to help HIS/HER downline to sign up new people as well.

The goal is to reach three levels deep. Why three levels? Because your goal is to teach your downline (the one you personally sponsored) to become a TEACHER. You want that teacher to teach others how to be a teacher as well.

Do you follow me, here? Let me make it really simple:

- You
- Level 1 – Teacher of a teacher
- Level 2 – Teacher
- Level 3 – Learner

You have to follow this formula because it will not work if you stop at level 2. If you stop at level 2, your ‘line’ will not be independent enough. Because you will still be the one teaching teachers over and over again. You will only be independent if you have LEADERS with their own downlines teaching others without your intervention.

Now THAT… is leverage – the key towards building a solid network marketing business.

Set Up Your Own Profitable Home Based Business

One of the most lucrative and profitable home based business opportunities that you will find on the Internet is affiliate network marketing. This type of home business model has the potential for unlimited earnings and can become an extremely profitable venture if you invest the time and effort required. This means that while you can expect very decent profits from promoting affiliate products, you will need to invest the time required to understand how to best start such a business.

In case you are wondering, affiliate network marketing is when promote the products of a company in return for a commission on the sales. It is similar to being a salesperson in the offline world. However, one of the most attractive things about building a home Internet business in this manner is that you do not have to worry about interacting with your prospective customers in person. This is why it is such a wonderful opportunity for those who may be a bit shy.

If you decide that this is the path that you will follow, there are virtually unlimited products and companies who need your help. Many of these companies will even supply you with turnkey business opportunities, because they want you to be as successful as possible in your new business.

With these kinds of affiliate network marketing programs, many times you supplied with your own website hosted on the company's server or your own and an arsenal of promotional materials. You do not even have to worry about building your own website or having one built for you. It is in your best interest to study all the materials your company provides and learn as much as possible if you are serious about turning it into a profitable home based business.

Other affiliate programs may offer you a residual home business opportunity. Not only are you paid for the initial sales of the product, but you are also paid a percentage of the sales each month that your customer remains a faithful member. If you are interested in this type of business, then some of the best products to promote are those that people need on a monthly basis, such as web hosting.

Be sure to research the companies you are considering and check out their customer satisfaction ratings. There is no point in wasting effort promoting a product that people are not satisfied with. This makes you look incompetent and will cost you in the form of lost income.

Building a home Internet business via sales from affiliate products can really be the avenue to a profitable home based business. However, your earnings will largely depend on how much effort you put into your business. Treat affiliate marketing like any other business, and you are sure to be extremely satisfied with your new work at home career.

Use This Key To Unlock Your Network Marketing Goal

What you are about to read would definitely seem deceptively simple. In fact, most people overlook this factor in their pursuit towards success.

Many of you may have set all the goals that you want and still not get any results. You may have read all the books and attended all the seminars, but you still yet to experience a breakthrough. In this article I will share with you one factor that can skyrocket you to success. On the other hand this factor, if not addressed would impede your success by that much. The factor that is common in all successful people is confidence.

The first way to activate confidence is through affirmations.

Affirmations are a scientifically proven method of rewiring your brain to believe that you can achieve success. This may seem like a rehash of the personal development books, but what I like to address here is the frequent use of affirmations. Affirmations, when used at the correct time, can definitely enhance your performance. The best time to use affirmations is in the morning within the hour of your waking up or in the evening within the hour of your going to sleep. In these two time windows your brain is in the very receptive alpha mode. That is why affirmations should be used at these two times.

The next thing to address is your physiology.

In Neuro Linguistics Programming, physiology directly affects performance. Let's say you're going to make a cold call to a prospect. If you sit slouching, or clasping the phone between your ear and neck, you are not able to be in the physiology of total confidence. As a result, your voice would sound shaky. And even your prospect on the other line could sense that you are not confident.

Your affirmations help rewire your brain to believe and your physiology help you activate that peak performance state. The combination of these two is lethal.

Finally watch your language pattern.

If you have a tendency of always using disempowering language, then everything you have done would have gone to waste. The language you use in your head would ultimately determine what kind of results you get.

Your brain believes everything you tell it, even when you say it in the negative. For example, if you say that, "I am not going to be a loser anymore!"

Guess what, your brain will register "going to be a loser"!

These words make up the sentences of your affirmation. It is very important at this point that you choose the right sentences. The right sentences should make you feel that you have a chance to live the dream.
A combination of these factors would ultimately cause a rise in your level of confidence. With a heightened confidence, your sense of achievement would definitely overpower your fear of rejection. And that is the key to success. Unless you overcome your fear, you would not experience the breakthrough you envision for yourself.

Imagine what you could do with that impenetrable confidence. How many more sales would you be able to close? How would you approach potential mentors? And how quickly could you turn your ideas into fortune? Begin today to apply these three keys to fire your confidence. You may be amazed at how your life unfolds before you.

How To Get The Best MLM Leads For Your Home Business

There are two schools of though when it comes to MLM leads.

The first way is the traditional, old school way of getting leads which is to pull out your mobile phone and writing down every single name on that phone onto your name list. Every single person, from your baby cousin all the way to your 60 year old grand aunt.

When you run out of names on your list, you will start to dig through your list of business cards for any name that you can call.

This method is actually very ineffective because you are spending a lot of time going through a list of people who are NOT in your target market. There is no way you are going to be effective if you keep on targeting people who do not have a big dream, people who are comfortable in their jobs or people who just won’t listen to what you say no matter what you say (they see the old beer drinking buddy Joe rather than someone who is pursuing their dreams).

The second and more effective way to get the best MLM leads is to go on the Internet and get your leads. But bear in mind, don’t just get any leads but rather leads that are targeted – that means people who are actively seeking for a network marketing opportunity or people who are on the verge of switching to another opportunity.

These people are the best kind of leads you can find because not only do they give you the least amount of resistance, they are actually people in your target market and you will spend less time and money on marketing costs.

There are many ways you can get the best MLM leads – either through driving free traffic or by paying for traffic.

The advantage of using free traffic is that you do not need to spend any money and you can easily get traffic from organic search terms as well as blogs, social networking sites, social bookmarking, forums, traffic exchanges and even other people’s blogs. Free traffic takes time to generate but it is very good if you are building your network marketing business on a shoe string budget.

Once you have made some money with your leads, you can invest into paid traffic as well. One of the advantages of using paid traffic is that you get to control the amount of traffic you can get. It all depends on your budget and you are the one that sets the cap on your traffic. You can get up to potentially unlimited traffic in a very quick time. Some of the best ways to get the best MLM leads also come from pay per click (PPC) campaigns such as Google AdWords, buying banner advertising and using co-registration leads.

Network Marketing Success Principle

In any business in the world today, the 80/20 rule always applies. This means that only 20 percent of the people will get something done while the rest of the other 80 percent will disappear into oblivion.

The same applies to network marketing success. The majority of people will not do anything. Only 20 percent of the people actually get around to doing something about it. But unfortunately, only a small percentage of THAT 20 percent actually achieves network marketing success (some give up after they fail to see results or because they move on to other commitments – not network marketing’s fault).

The first thing you must do in order to take the first step towards achieving network marketing success is to have a dream. Not just any dream but a dream that is HUGE. Do not let other people tell you what you can or can’t do. In Donald Trump’s own words, “If you are going to think, you might as well think big.” After all, you are already thinking anyway, so you might as well think big and achieve big. If you don’t have a dream, a compelling reason to keep you going when the going gets tough, you will definitely drop out from network marketing after you run into challenges.

Besides having a dream, you must have a blueprint for success. It is also not enough to have the ‘WHY’, you must have the ‘HOW’ as well otherwise you will have a big dream and it just stops at the dream part (because your dream never becomes a reality).

For example, there are a lot of network marketing prospecting methods that are considered obsolete by today’s standards. You cannot just do cold calling and pester your friends and relatives by forcing them to join your network marketing opportunity. You need to learn how to handle people and use the Internet to generate leads for your business.

You also need to structure your action plan properly because you need to know how to execute your plans to make your dream a reality. An action plan that works out day by day, week by week, month by month and year by year.

Write down on your time table, what you need to achieve this very day – reading a motivational book, engaging in prospecting activities, retailing some products to your customers and spending time with your downlines training and coaching them.

Without a definite day to day plan, your day will definitely slip by without much action. At the end of the day, it is all about you – don’t rely on your uplines or your downlines for success because if you do, you are building their business instead of your own.

How To Find People Who Like MLM

The MLM industry is a very competitive industry. People who are starting their network marketing business from the ground floor level will tend to have many problems trying to find people who like MLM because of the negative connotations people have against the industry over the last few decades.

So how does one find people who like MLM?

The easiest and most obvious answer to this is to look for people who are already exposed to what MLM is all about.

This group of people has probably:

(1) Tried network marketing before and although they haven’t have success in their previous opportunity, is willing to give it another go by looking for another opportunity.

(2) Are already involved in a network marketing opportunity and they are looking for a chance to switch over into a ‘better’ opportunity or go under another upline who is more capable.

(3) Their previous MLM Company has recently shut down due to many different reasons and they are looking for a venue to start their network marketing business all over again.

These 3 groups of people are considered your target markets (which are the people who like MLM).

So what is the most effective way to target these people? Is it possible to bring them into your network?

For starters, the biggest problem most newbies in network marketing is to try to use the comparison tactic to get people to join their network marketing opportunity. They attempt to tell them that my product is better than your product, my compensation plan pays more than yours, my management team has more experience and my upline can help me ‘close’ more prospects compared to yours.

This kind of ‘my company is better than yours’ approach doesn’t win people over because a person convinced against his or her will is of the same opinion still. Even if you win the argument, you ‘close’ the back door and they will lose face when they lose the argument.

The better way to prospect these people is to first, brand yourself as a network marketing expert. Only when you find a way to provide value to other people will they even begin to consider your network marketing opportunity. Building relationships first is more important than entering into a shouting match to see whose company is better. When you can show your prospect that you can add value to their life (their knowledge, their income, etc), they will be more likely to join your network marketing opportunity in the future.

How To Have Guaranteed Downlines

Are you sick and tired of wasting time with a prospect, getting played by their initial enthusiasm when they hear you ‘show the plan’ only to find out that they are not the type of person who are willing to commit to a business.

If you are looking for a ‘guaranteed downline’ then it is better that you start looking for them in the right places.

Basically, there are two kinds of markets – the targeted market and the untargeted market.

The untargeted market is normally taught in 99% of the network marketing establishment. Why is this so? Because the majority of uplines and leaders in the network marketing industry go for a ‘shot gun’ approach. This means that they try to grab everything that they can, throw it and see which one of them ‘sticks’. They tell their downlines to make a list of every single living soul on their mobile phones and calls everyone of them knowing full well that new downlines will not succeed at getting even a small percentage of them before they start to drop out!

If you want to go after a guaranteed downline, you must start looking for them in your targeted market! A targeted market is not something that is taught in most network marketing trainings. You must be prepared to go against the grain of what they normally think about it and be a renegade at times!

Finding good prospects in your target market can be achieved by going online and advertising your network marketing websites to the right people. It could be a person who is looking for a cure to a particular product (your network marketing product will provide the cure) or a person looking for ways to increase the number of leads for his network marketing business.

There are many ways you can pull it off, it all depends on the way you want to get traffic.

By using free traffic, you can submit articles to article directories and get people to publish your articles all over the Internet through viral marketing. You can also start an MLM blog and brand yourself as a network marketing expert in the field. Remember branding is very important and a good blog will build trust and relationships. Blogs are also extremely compatible with search engines and you can easily get lots of traffic if you know how to market your blog properly.

You can also use paid traffic such as banner advertising and pay per click marketing campaigns like Google AdWords. With paid advertising, you usually get traffic almost instantly (within 30 minutes) and people will come to your website very fast.

Most important of all, with the right target market and traffic on your website, you spend less time with people who are not going to be your long term partners.

Which Types Of Prospecting Techniques Do You Use?

There are two kinds of prospecting techniques when it comes to network marketing… the first way is the traditional way and the second way is the Internet marketing way.

The traditional way is practiced by more than 99% of network marketing reps in the world today and this method was passed from upline to downline for many generations… so how does it work?

It uses a very rudimentary form of approaching prospects and building your name list. The upline teaches the downline to take out his or her phone and literally write down every single name and number on a piece of paper. Then the upline teaches them prospecting techniques how to invite them to take a look at the business opportunity.

They also teach their people to invite people (even total strangers) to hotel opportunity meetings. They bring them in and give a one or two hour long presentation on what is the network marketing opportunity all about and sells them the dream why they can succeed in network marketing. Some meetings do not even mention that they are a network marketing opportunity meeting at all until the very end because they are afraid that people are not yet open minded towards the industry.

Other forms of traditional prospecting include approaching friends and relatives to ‘support’ their business by buying products. They reason that if your dad owns a McDonalds, then it makes sense that you should be eating McDonalds all the time because you are supporting your dad’s business rather than a ‘competitor’s’ business like KFC for example.

The traditional way has a few flaws:

(1) They don’t go for their target market. It is like selling a bible to a devout Muslim.
(2) They do not practice scrupulous marketing tactics sometimes because they might even resort to ‘tricking’ the prospect into attending the meeting and only then revealing that it is a network marketing opportunity at the end.
(3) You can’t eat McDonalds all day. Human beings are designed to do different things and not do things repetitively. Even if your dad owns a McDonalds doesn’t mean you can eat it everyday. Same goes for products – just because you have a bunch of shampoos doesn’t mean that your uncle must use your brand of shampoo every single day.

There is a better way to prospect others which is to use the Internet marketing way. You can get targeted traffic through:

- Search engine traffic
- Pay per click campaigns
- Banner advertising
- Email advertising

One of the biggest advantages of using Internet marketing as a form of prospecting is that you get to segregate the willing buyers from the unwilling crowd. Marketing online gives you the ability to find the right kind of people without pestering all the wrong people. Not only that, it doesn’t require you to resort to unscrupulous tactics because you are being very clear cut what your business is about without the fear of rejection.

How Does Online Prospecting Works?

If you are getting sick and tired of dragging your friends and relatives to hotel business opportunity meetings and cold calling dead beat leads and strangers, then it is high time you take a look at your approach to network marketing.

Old school prospecting methods used in the 70s and the 80s are sad to say – obsolete at worst and ineffective at best. It requires guts of steel to face with a lot of face to face rejection on a daily basis. Thankfully there is a better way to get new leads for your network marketing business and that is through online prospecting.

So how does online prospecting work?

There are many ways to get traffic to your website. But you must make sure you implement these four steps if you want to be effective at Internet marketing for your home business.

(1) Drive targeted traffic
(2) Use an effective lead capturing page
(3) Build rapport with your prospect
(4) Pitch the right offer

Here is an elaboration on how online prospecting will work for these 4 key points:

When driving traffic you must always focus on driving TARGETED traffic. It is no point having one million visitors but they are all not interested in network marketing at all! Do not fall for those deals that promise you thousands of leads but you do not know what the qualities of those leads are.

The next way is the use an effective lead capturing page. This is very important because you want to make sure you ‘keep’ the leads from all the money and time you spent form driving traffic to your website. An effective lead capture pages also emphasizes the targeted aspect which is to qualify your leads to see if they are people who are merely browsing through your page or people who are genuinely seeking a way for a better life through your network marketing opportunity.

Once you have them in your name list or your mailing list, you must use autoresponders and communicate with them through your newsletters. Do not fear if you cannot write a good newsletter, just look at the starter kit from business opportunity and take out the best key points or benefits and compile them into an E-course to educate your prospects about you and your opportunity.

Finally, when pitching the offer, make sure you only present your network marketing opportunity to them when you have built a solid relationship.

There are many ways to build your network marketing business on the Internet using search engine optimization, pay per click campaigns, buying banner advertising, co registration leads, traffic exchanges and many more ways.

Add 20-30 New Reps A Week To Any MLM Guaranteed

Building a network marketing business isn’t easy – you need to have guts of steel in order to overcome the all the rejection and disappointment.

If you want to learn how to stay on top of the game, you need to explore different prospecting and lead generation methods.

By exploring these three different concepts, you will be able to add 20-30 new reps a week to any MLM… guaranteed! As long as you are prepared to work out the concepts well, you will be able to get a predictable kind of result.

(1) The Magnetic Sponsoring Concept

Magnetic sponsoring is all about branding yourself as an expert in any MLM company. You learn to become the hunted instead of the hunter. This concept is founded by Mike Dillard who started as a waiter and within one and a half years, turned his network marketing business into a million dollar business because he ‘cracked the code’ to network marketing by finding a way to generate leads and turn those leads into money. He even managed to turn leads that didn’t join his network marketing opportunity into cash flow as well.

(2) The Renegade Network Marketer Concept

The Renegade Network Marketer is a concept that goes against the grain of what most network marketing reps know. They learn all their skills from their uplines and their uplines from their own uplines as well. Methods such as building a list of names, cold calling, approaching dead beat leads are all outdated methods are considered obsolete.

Is It Possible To Automated Your Prospecting In Your Home Business

Building your network marketing business successfully requires you to do a lot of prospecting. But what does prospecting mean? It means approaching potential prospects who might or might not be interested in your network marketing opportunity by educating them on the benefits of joining your company, finding a solution to their problem whether it be financial or personal and then pitching the right kind of offer that suits their needs (product or opportunity wise).
The problem that most people have with prospecting is that they simply do not do enough of it. Remember, you only have 24 hours in a day. How often can you spend your time on prospecting? You can spend all day going out meeting customers – it takes 20-60 minutes just to drive from one place to another, not to mention the time it takes to drive back and heavy traffic you might face. Not only are you limited by locality, you can do everything by yourself as well because you might fall sick one day!
One of the best ways to overcome this problem is to create a form of automated prospecting that allows you to generate additional network marketing leads without your direct involvement. It is very simple to setup an automated prospecting system – all you need to do is to go on the Internet, get the right information about your company in the aspects of publishing your opportunity to the right crowd, and invest in the right tools for your network marketing business.
You will need to invest in a good autoresponder. An autoresponder is a tool that will automate certain tasks like scripted email replies, scheduled emailing and mass email broadcasting. Scripted replies help you to answer questions through an FAQ whenever someone asks a question through your E-mail. You can also schedule E-courses just like an online newsletter to build relationships with your prospects. Finally, if you have any online opportunity you wish to promote such as a product launch, you can send an E-mail broadcast and thousands of people will be notified at the same time.
You must also learn the art of creating an effective pay per click campaign. By using pay per click, you can quickly and constantly drive traffic to your website. You get to control how much you want to spend and how much traffic you want to send in.
As long as you have a properly set up lead capturing page, you can send your traffic there and into your autoresponder to facilitate an almost ‘perfectly’ automated prospecting system. It even works when you are sleeping.
