Who Is A Good Network Marketing Lead?

The best leads you can find for a MLM business have two qualities.  They are self-starters and they are comfortable talking to people.  A third criteria that is important for them to be long term business builders is they have to be able to take rejection and bounce back ready to face their next potential business member.

You will find that there is no way you can baby sit people who you are counting on to build your business.  At the beginniing yes you need to help them get started but you can't be bothered with pumping someone up each time they are rejected.  The rejection rate is tremendous in this buisness and a person has to be able to handle that if they want to be successful.

Successful sales people tend to do very well in the network marketing business as long as they are not the kinds of people who need to be pushed.  A self-strating sales person has the drive to get the job done and they understand that this a numbers game.  Every time you get a rejection that means you are closer to making a sale.  You just keep pitching your business and talking to prospects and you will find the people you need to get the job done.

Remeber These Tips When Talking To Your Prospect

MLM network marketing can be a very lucrative business model if you approach it the right way, There have been people who have made millions of dollars with MLM businesses and they really do live the life of sitting on a tropical beach watching the sun set every day. In order to do this they had to know what it reall takes to make a multi-level business take off and make money.

There are a few things that you must absolutely have to be successful with network marketing. You need to be selling a good product. You must have a good organization for support. And you need to make a big priority of getting more people in your organization so you can grow it.  some of the best ways to find new people is to focus on local mlm leads because these are people who know you and are easier to convert.

Finding leads is the name of the game when building your network marketing business. You won't make the majority of your money from selling the product if you want a big business. The way to success with network marketing is building an organization with a lot of people. The only way to do this is to work on your techniques. If you have hot MLM leads don’t blow it with stupid mistakes

An important part of the prospecting procedure is practicing what you are going to say. You can be assured that if you just get on the phone with planning ahead and start talking you will not be successful. All great salesmen develop a sales pitch and then practice it time and time again. You need to be on the mark at all times.

If you are nervous about talking to people a good way to get over it is to do role playing with someone else. Instruct the other person to ask you some questions and practice your responses. You can also have the other person do some adlibbing so you get a chance to practice thinking on your feet.

Body language is an important aspect of a successful meeting with your prospective network marketing leads. You send the wrong message to the lead if you cross your hands or legs or arms. This makes us look ill at ease and so we make the lead feel the same way. It is important that you do everything in your power to make the other person feel as comfortable as possible.

When meeting with a potential candidate keep your body language open. This means you need to not cross your arms or legs. Do not cross your hands or arms and keep them apart. This informs the other person that you are inviting them to join your space. You are being welcomiing to them instead of cold. It is important that the other person feel you want to be with them so they will feel comfortable.

The way you talk is also important when tying to put others at ease. Listen to the speech patterns of the other person and try to speak the same way. Your speed of speaking is easy to control if you try. If your lead speaks with a slow speed you must slow down also. You prospcet will go crazy if they are used to speaking quickly and you start talking with a slow drawl.

The key is to make the other person comfortable. A great way to do that is to match the speed of their talking. By mirroring their speaking speed you draw the prospect towards you. They feel a bond with you and thus will listen to what you have to say. If they don't buy in to what you say they will never become members of your business.

A good network marketing lead is not something to take lightly. In reality, you will find only a few people who turn out to be stars. You want to be able to convert them as well as possible because they are the ones who will build your business the fastest. And building the buisness fast is very important.

The biggest problem with people not finding success is they give up too early. In reality if you are going to build a long term profitable organization it is going to take some time. You will need to do the foot work make it happen. This is true in any business. If you are starting a restaraunt for example you don't start off with hundreds of customers the first month. You have to build up a reputation so people feel comfortable coming to eat at your establishment. And you have to get repeat customers to come back again. Success just takes time.

So true that success takes time, and that it's more important to be a good people handler or conversationalist than a whiz at marketing to increase business. My sister almost flunked highschool, but she's such a friendly personable lady, that she has a thriving florist business now and is my most successful sister. (Four girls in our family, poor dad :-) )

@Lissie,

That rejection thing can be a killer, I had enough of that trying to date in High School! LOL.

@ RobynW

I wouldn't feel too sorry for your dad. I have three daughters and they have really been a joy, until their teen years that is and then I picked up several nervous bad habits. LOL.

Yes, talk about teen daughters.... I have four daughters myself, two are all-growed-up now, but their teen years were terrible, especially our highly strung, artsy daughter.

I must be a sucker for stress though, as I have a 13-year old and a 9 year old, and the world is a different place than it was 15 years ago when my two oldest girls were growing up. Oh, just read your profile and had to chuckle. I'm celebrating my 50th in October, I'm getting used to the idea slowly but surely. :-D

Good luck with your daughters. Are you living overseas with them? I just spent 2 hours getting the four wheeler of one of my daughters back from the woods. Two of the girls were riding and the oldest broke off a wheel.

Oh well all in the life of a dad.

Congrats on 50. It got a lot better after I actually turned 50.

Good post. I like to add my point of view, internet marketing is all about building relationships first then offering value like your post for example or a video tutorial on how to generate MLM leads. People buy People not a product or service, I am one of the top earners in my MLM but you will never find me talking about it or ever find a link on my primary anywhere on the net b/c I offer my primary MLM business on the back end, not on the front end instead I will offer value by teaching how to attract people to you first and offer a method that works on how to generate leads using attraction marketing.

That is a very good point Scott. I think a lot of people are scared off by MLM or Network Marketing because of the horror stories. It still is a great way to start your own business if you are willing to do the work.

Parting Words

Finding good leads for your MLM Network Marketing business is the only thing that will allow you to be successful.  If you can't find good people to help you to build your business there is no way you will ever build the organization you need.  So the question is, "How do you intereste high power people in joining your oganization?"

The short answer is you find out what they are looking for and give it to them.  Determine what they need out of a part time MLM business and then structure your pitch so that you show how they can get their needs met.  What does your program do that will allow them to reach their goals.

If your program won't allow them to reach their goals then be honest and tell them the opportunity is not for them.  You will be much happier with people who are a good fit for your business than fooling someone into joining only to have them find out that they really can't get where they want to go.  Then all the time and effort you put into training and mentoring them is lost.

Find good people and show them you can meet their needs and you will build a powerhouse organization.
