MLM, network marketing, referral marketing call it what you want, is on fire in today’s economy. In a world with no more job security, massive layoffs and small business closing every day, the world is screaming out for a way to earn money with a low start-up cost and good income potential. MLM is just that. There are no inventory requirements and huge income potential. Many experts refer to it as the last bastion of free society. An average person can make a fortune in their own network marketing business when done right! The key words are when done right.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle to success in network marketing is successfully attracting new distributors and repeat customers. I have been doing this business for more than 28 years. Luckily for me, a mentor taught me early on to generate leads or people willing to check out my deal. This was better than chasing after friends and family. I had people coming to me and I just returned calls and directed them to a presentation. This sure beat the process of begging people to come to a hotel meeting. Who likes meetings? Before I learned all this, I actually quit doing network marketing and swore to never return. It is frustrating the old way. Don’t you agree?
When I learned how to build a list of people who were open to what I had to offer, everything changed. I decided I would contact the people on my list and fill them in on why I recommended that they consider joining my team. The rest is history.
Sign-ups happened almost every day and I quickly made it onto the Top Ten Earner List and the Million Dollar Club. I traveled all over the world with all the other top dogs and picked their brains. What I found out was that even though they all had unique ways to build, most of them had some kind of system in place to attract prospects to them instead of selling uninterested people. Most of them comfortably attracted their distributors instead of buying leads or cold calling. This is the way to do it and I can show you how if you stick with me.
Let’s start drawing interested, qualified leads to us instead of barking up the wrong tree. When you do this, your posture improves and you put yourself in control. They are now coming to you to learn more about something that appeals to them, instead of you selling them on something they do not want.
The next step is to help 5 or 6 of your team leaders to duplicate this system. When you help them succeed, your income will explode and so will your time freedom. MLM allows you to own your time! You can quit your job or retire your spouse early, travel more, send your kids to good schools, buy new cars, improve your house, buy a vacation house etc…
There are several awesome ways to develop a system like this for yourself. I did it because I was an author and had the contact information of all of my book customers to introduce them to my MLM. Chances are you are not in this same situation, but what you can do is introduce value and build credibility with your new list of friends by sharing excellent information with them that will help them in their quest to become successful. One way is to sell a few excellent affiliate programs that they can use as tools in their business.
This is the gist or the basic idea. Some people call it attraction marketing, because you are attracting people on to your list, they like what you shared with them and are then open minded when you approach them in the future about other things, like your MLM for instance. You then build your list bigger and bigger creating a large ever growing list of potential team mates. You now have an audience…a group of interested, open minded prospects. Isn’t that better then begging people to come to a meeting?
So, do your research. Go to Google and search out Network Marketing or Attraction Marketing Software or Systems. As I mentioned, there are now a ton of them out there. Most of them charge a monthly fee and give you the ability to easily design squeeze pages or email capture pages to collect contact info from your prospects and drop them onto an auto-responder follow-up program like aWeber or Get Response. They also teach you how to market your programs effectively with online video trainings and weekly webinars for their members.
Next I will share ideas on how to build the amount of visitors you get to your web sites, but check out some of the tools you can add to your business toolbox to better market your business on the internet. Some are better than others.
After trying out many of the funnel systems, I paid to have a software developer create one for me with more capabilities than most of the others. It is just easier and more effective, in my opinion. I have shared it with other leaders, my team and you are free to check it out as well. We also offer comprehensive training videos to help you get set up and ongoing weekly online webinars to get you going and effectively marketing your business online and offline.
Expand your vision! Utilize cutting edge tools to draw 50 to 1,000 curious leads to your presentation each week and watch your business explode. Teach your leaders to do the same and really take things to the next level. There is no need to be frustrating in your MLM, with tools like this available.
