Network Marketing, Referral Marketing, Multi-Level Marketing call it what you choose, is a hot business in this rough economy. We live in a world with too many layoffs and no job security. Business close their doors almost every day. MLM offers an alternative way to earn income on the side with an affordable start-up fee and huge income possibilities, with little or no inventory requirements. It truly is the last bastion of free society. People with very diverse backgrounds earn incredible money in their own multi-level marketing businesses if they do it right. The key is that it has to be done right.
The major reason people fail in MLM is because they don’t successfully attract reps and customers into their businesses or build a team of repeat buyers. I have been in Direct Marketing for in excess of 27 yrs and early on, I learned the importance of attracting prospects to me, instead of soliciting them. Before that, I shook my head in frustration. I invited everyone I could think of to our hotel meetings. Most weeks nobody showed. It was difficult maintaining my motivation. I walked away and promised myself I would never do this type of business again.
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.
I started attracting successful people left and right. I went on to reach the top ten distributor list in that company and made it onto their prestigious Million Dollar Earner Club. I got to know all of the top distributors and learned that they all had built their empire in different ways, but many of them had a system in place that delivered interested prospects to them each and every week. This approach was like shooting fish in a bucket. No more begging people to come to a meeting… no more cold calling… no more buying and calling cold leads… no more frustration and failure. I would like to teach you how to duplicate my success if you will allow 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.
Teach 4 or 5 of your sharp team members to do the same thing and you are off and running towards a delightfully successful lifestyle with lots of money and lots of time freedom. Own your own life. Fire your boss. Get yourself a few tattoos! Well maybe not the tattoo part. That is up to you.
There are systems available now, that can help you successfully put your business online, attract prospects, share tools with them to help them better automate their businesses and add value. This way they will usually inquire about your primary business. These systems make you an affiliate, so that when your prospects take advantage of the tools you share to help them automate their business, you make a commission as an affiliate.
That is the basic idea. Some call this a marketing funnel. The bigger you build your list the more potential teammates you now have who may join your MLM. Don’t you agree that this method is more powerful then dragging prospects to meetings?
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.
In a future article I will tell you how to get traffic to your web site, but for now I just want you to investigate some of the tools that are available to you in today’s Internet based marketing world. I looked at many of them and some are better than others, so do your homework.
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.
