The first thing that my trainer told me to do, when I started in MLM over 10 years ago, was to make a list of 100 friends and family members because... That was where I would find my "board of directors", the main players that would take my business to the next level. Then I was suppose to expand that list to 1,000 with memory joggers. Really?! Well that's not quite how it worked out. What I ended up getting was a lot of experience. You know the definition of experience? EXPERIENCE: WHAT YOU GET… WHEN YOU GET WHAT YOU DON'T WANT! That's right my friends and family wanted nothing to do with it. Sure they would sign up as customers from pleading with them.. I remember the script saying... "Could you do me a huge favor?" "If I could save you money on your… would you use my service?" But when it came to becoming reps… they did not want anything to do with it. Even on 3-ways with my upline -Where he would would share the fact that he'd made millions of dollars over the past 5 years. Still not one would sign up as a rep. Needless to say, I ruined some relationships as most had heard of "these types" of businesses before and wanted nothing to do with them. And while it did not leave me on the MLM N.F.C. (Multi-Level Marketing No Friends Club) You can almost see the tention in their eyes when ever I even speak about my business now. You were probably told the same thing too. In fact, nearly every company still teaches this old and anticuated method of doing business to their reps/distributors. Here are some essential TIPS that you need to know if you want to build a substantial business: TIP #1: Leave Your Friends and Family Alone "Warm Market" business building statistics in this industry have been tracked for over 25 years; the results never change. Distributors that focus on building a downline with their "Warm Market" have a success rate of 0.013%. Yes, you read that correctly. Less than 1% are successful! There are some that are fortunate enough and may have enough business minded circle of friends big enough to call on, but for most of us, we are unfortunately not in this position. What can you do instead? Equiped with the proper internet know how, it is extremly simple to identify and specifically target thousands of prospects, who are out there right now looking for your specific products, services and business opportunity. Your family and friends are probably not the best candidates. So, don't try to convince or persuade family members, friends, and co-workers to join you. Even with lots of training on what to say and how to say it… most are just not interested… End of Story. Your "ideal" prospects are those who come to you, ready willing and able to buy your products and join your business opportunity, but the key is to learn to position yourself as an expert in your field. The right people will come to you in greater numbers than you can imagine, if you're using the right tools and techniques. TIP #2: What Are The New "Heavy Hitters" Using These Days? The real pros in this industry DO NOT bother their family and friends! I know some that their family and friends don't ven know what it is that they do for a living. For Real! The reason the don't go after this market is that they know how to easily get more eager business builders and product users to come to them in droves with credit card in hand, ready to do business. This is a closely guarded strategy called "positioning" that took me nearly 10 years to discover. The exciting truth is, anyone can learn how to do the exact same thing with the right training. I wrote an article on this subject... "MLM -The List- Will Cost You Your Business" There is also a related article... "The 3 Foot Rule Will Kill Your MLM / Network Marketing Busniess" Check them out at my blog. In summary... The new generation of high income earners in this industry don't use "warm market" techniques. They don't approach their family and friends. They don't do hotel meetings, 3way calls with their up line, home parties, or buy $3-$5 generic, 30 day, real-time, or any other "special" leads. Instead, they leverage the power of the internet inexpensively. With the latest marketing know-how that many wildly successful traditional companies use to build enormous businesses. From personal experience, I just attended a 3M Dealer meeting for my brick and mortar business. They are using these same techniques that allow their future customers to come to them! They are not chasing their customers they are attracting them! They know the power of the internet. This information may surprise you, it certainly did me when I first got to peek behind the curtain. Wouldn't you like to learn how to attract new customers and prospects rather than having to hunt them down... putting your relationship with friends and family at risk?
