Do you have a bulging list of prospects to which you can send information and offers? Why not? Believe it or not, this is a very critical part of your business as a network marketer. Why? Because let’s fact it, the conversion percentages on leads are smaller than your average online sales conversion. This is due to the fact that not everyone is cut out for the MLM business in the first place.

The Beauty of a Customer List

You might be asking – what does all this have to do with a customer list? Well, because those conversion numbers are so low, you will need to turn some of those non-conversions into paying customers in order to stay in business. If they don’t join your main business, then perhaps later they would be interested in an affiliate product that you could offer them. Better yet, maybe they would even buy two or more affiliate items from you. This is what will finance your marketing expenses as you seek out associates for your main business.

This is a topic that is addressed by very few people in the network marketing arena. I would bet you 10 to 1 that the training plan in your MLM organization does not even mention how to manage your emotions. The sad thing is that emotions plays a huge role in how well we perform in promoting the opportunity – this is particularly true with new people.

The MLM industry is one that is pursued by those who have never owned a business before. From the very beginning, they lack the skills and discipline necessary to succeed in this business. They suddenly find themselves way outside their comfort zones and what’s worse, they are fighting the enormous emotion known as the fear of failure. Read the rest of this entry »

A network marketing business requires a very special mindset. It requires you to have unyielding persistence and intense focus. But if you think about it, both of these things need a clear concise direction in which you need to travel. In other words, you need goals!

One mental tool that people of all types and occupations have been using for years is visualization. What this means is that they visualize in their mind’s eye what they want to accomplish and where they want to be in the future. It’s not simply a matter of seeing that new house or new car that you want to get, you have to intensify that vision as much as possible. I think everybody visualizes things they would like to have. But when you commit to getting those things, then it becomes a goal.

So when this mental pictures (or like to have’s) becomes your goals, then you have to crank it up a few notches. Your internal pictures need more details. They need colors, they need sounds, they need actions, and they even need odors if possible. Adjust the intensity of all these attributes. In other words, try making the colors in mental image brighter, try making the sounds louder, and so forth. Another thing you can do is to blow up those pictures in your mind.

If you want to cultivate a successful MLM business, then you must assume the role of a capable leader because you will need to create a productive team. This be the case, you need to seek out every opportunity possible to stretch yourself and fit into that role. Let us look at a two (2) things that you can start doing immediately.

You need to start becoming the source of leadership events in your local community. Make a commitment to hold regular meetings at your home or office. Keep in mind that this doesn’t necessarily have to be events pertaining to your network marketing businesses. Your goal here is to practice taking the leadership role as often as possible. Community services are a great option for this exercise as they are voluntary and most people will stand aside and let you take control. Start cutting your teeth in your community and then start applying what you learn in your business. Read the rest of this entry »

It is amazing to think that in America, someone is starting a new network marketing business every 11 seconds. In addition, over 55% of Americans have purchased a network marketing product or service and more than 13 million people in at least one of these transactions.

There are very good reasons why network marketing has been called the people’s franchise as these MLMs allow virtually anyone to get started in a business for very low risk capital investment. Read the rest of this entry »

I came across an excellent post by Jaz Lai on the BetterNetworker.com site.  He has defined some what he calls the most critical steps for building your MLM Business.  I could not agree with him more.

If you would like to read those over, I have provided the link below to that post:

From Jaz;

Some years ago, I heard a quote that really blew me away regarding how we limit ourselves. The quote was “We have infinite limits of what we can accomplish minus our belief systems.” Let that sink in for a moment. The way we think is the only difference between ourselves and say, a self-made billionaire or a world class athlete. I found this to be absolutely amazing. Do you think this might be influencing your MLM Opportunities and activities?

Our own minds are what holds us back from what we want to achieve. The bad news is that our belief systems are products of many many years of programming. These programs are internal statements that have been molded from past experiences, our parents, teachers, and peers. Over time, we have convinced ourselves that this statements are true.

In this world of network marketing, there has been one thing that has existed as long as MLM Opportunities have. By far, the number one component in recruiting an MLM team that profitable for many years is the quality of its team members. The top rated people in every networking field has in their downline a hand full of individuals who make up the bulk of their sales and production. This fact will NEVER CHANGE – take that to the bank.

And the people who prove to be quality team members are typically veteran network marketers. In fact, well over 90% of the most productive members of ANY MLM organization are veterans. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but not very many. Read the rest of this entry »

Now that is the $1,000,000 question, isn’t it? If you are in a network marketing business, then there is no doubt that you are actively seeking out people to add to your team. This is what you have to do to be a success in your business.

Oddly enough, the very best place to find leads for your MLM business is among people who are active network marketers themselves. Why? Because of these two facts:

1)  It is estimated that about 99% of network marketing distributors are earning little or no money with their current program.

2) It is also estimated that around 85-90% of network marketers will took a look at other MLM Programs if they feel that it can provide them with a better opportunity than the one they are with.

When you think about those overwhelming percentages, you can also add a few more reasons to pursue active network marketing people. For starters, you do not have to explain or sell them on the MLM concept, they are ALREADY SOLD on the idea. Also, they are veterans in the business, so they will not require quite as much training. And finally, because they are veterans, they knew what to look for in your MLM. This will give them the potential to be BETTER this time around.

Believe it or not, you do not need to cold call to build your network marketing business. That technique is not only a thing of the past, it simply doesn’t work anymore. People have become so calloused to sales pitches and solicitations that they see them coming a mile away.

Folks are using all sorts of tools to block the attempts of sales people. They are employing pop-up blockers, spam filters, and do not call lists – just to name a few. And now that we can see our caller ID, many of us don’t even answer the phone anymore unless we know the caller. And if you are like me, I hardly ever even answer my door when the bell rings unless I am expecting someone.

So what makes you think you could make it as a cold caller in this environment?

If you want to build your MLM business and would like to recruit a killer high octane team, then you need to employ other methods. You need to have people calling you instead.
