MLM Network Marketing Training- Will Seminars Get You Clients?

More Articles by C.J. Hayden
I often suggest public speaking as a powerful way to show prospective Network Marketing clients what you can do. Many professionals and consultants have built successful practices by giving free presentations to associations, businesses, and educational institutions. But what about producing your own MLM seminar, where you arrange the logistics and invite the guests? Does this work as a strategy for landing clients? 

Offering a Success Seminar can be an effective means to become more visible to your target market. If you are a good (or even fair) presenter, and the right people come to your seminar, you will definitely get new customers. But to use seminar marketing successfully, you need to be very clear on your goals, and plan each seminar carefully.

The MLM Purpose.
 
If the purpose of your seminar is primarily to get clients, you shouldn’t be expecting to make money on the seminar itself. You may wish merely to cover your expenses, or maybe even spend a little extra. For this type of Success Training seminar, the key to making it pay off is to attract people who are good prospects for your business in the first place, rather than just filling the room.
 
Instead of making your MLM Success Seminar free, it’s a good idea to charge a small fee. That way, your prospective clients will perceive you as offering something of value. The fee will also discourage attendance by people who can’t afford your product or service. It’s the quality of the participants that matters, not the quantity.
 
If what you really want is for your seminar to turn a profit, you must recognize that by offering full-fee seminars, you are adding another line of business to your company. Operating as a seminar producer will require the same kind of planning and ongoing management as your existing business does.
 
It can be as difficult to make a profit on your first seminar as it was to originally launch your business. Many people won’t sign up for a seminar the first time they see it; others would like to come but can’t make the date. You’ll have a better chance of making money if you plan at the outset to offer your seminar on a regular basis. You may find, though, that this takes away too much time from your core business.

Promotion in Network Marketing

  Whether the seminar you are planning is promotional or for profit, estimate your projected income and expenses before making a commitment to proceed. Base the income you project solely on the fee you will charge per person multiplied by the number of attendees you expect. Don’t include any projected spinoff business in your income estimate. If you land new business, you will still have to work additional hours to earn that compensation.
 
Typical expenses include design and printing of a flyer or brochure, postage, posting a notice on your website, purchase of mailing lists (if you don’t have your own), print and Internet media ads (including calendar listings), facility rent, audiovisuals, handouts, and refreshments. You should also consider the cost of your own time to design promotional materials, compile lists, compose e-mails, and make phone calls, as noted below.
 
In designing a snail mail or e-mail campaign for your Success Seminar, keep in mind that it is quite typical to get only one registration for every 100 pieces you mail, even with a pre-qualified list.
 
Subtract your projected expenses from your income, then make a rational decision on whether to proceed. If the purpose of your seminar is to get business, estimate how much spinoff business is likely. Before going ahead, ask yourself if there might be an easier or cheaper way to get that many new clients or contracts.

Making Money in MLM.
 
If your purpose is to make money, divide your expected profit by the number of hours it will take you to design, market, and deliver your seminar. Is that amount a reasonable level of compensation for you?
 
If your best guess at the numbers tells you that producing a seminar makes good business sense for you, go for it! Because people do business with those they know, like, and trust, seminars can help you build a solid client base. And because repeat contacts raise awareness, mailings and ads about your seminar will generate more visibility for your core business.

MLM Network Marketing Training- 10 Ways To Indirectly Get To The Top Of Search Engines

October 9, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training- 10 Ways To Indirectly Get To The Top Of Search Engines
By: Kim Beardsmore

There are millions of web sites trying to get listed in the top 20 spots of the major search engines. That amounts to a lot of competition! I say if you can’t get listed at the top, indirectly get to the top.

How do you do this? Look up the top 20 web sites on the major search engines under the keywords and phrases people would find your MLM web site. The key would be to then advertise on those web sites.

The most expensive way would be to buy ad space on those Network Marketing web sites. If you don’t want to spend any money, you could use the ten strategies below. These strategies may not apply to every web site.

1. Participate on their discussion boards. You could post questions, answer other peoples questions, and join in on conversations. Just include your signature file and link at the end of your messages.

2. Ask the web site owner if they would like a free ebook to giveaway to their visitors. You could have them link to your web site or include your ad in the free ebook.

3. Submit content to their MLM web site. You could write articles for their web site and include your resource box and link at the end of the article. If they publish it, you’ll indirectly be at the top of the search engines.

4. Write an excellent article review of their web site, products or services. Then publish the review on your web site. E-mail the web site owner and tell him or her about it. They may link to your web site so their visitors read it.

5. Ask the owner of the web site if they would want to trade advertising. If you don’t get as much traffic as they do, you could throw in some extra incentives.

6. Propose a cross promotion deal with the web site. You both could promote each others products or services together in one package deal. This means a mention and link back to your web site.

7. Give the web site a testimonial for their MLM product or service. Include a little text link for your web site with the testimonial. You never know; it could end up on their ad copy.

8. Post your advertisement on their free classified ad section on their Network Marketing web site. You want to be sure you have an attractive headline so they will read your ad.

9. Post your text link on their free-for-all links page. You want to go back and post your link regularly so it stays towards the top.

10. Sign their guest books. You could leave a short compliment about their web site on their guest book. Just include your signature file and link at the end of your message.

MLM Network Marketing Training- Perseverance is the Secret to MLM Success

MLM Network Marketing Training- Perseverance is the Secret to MLM Success

Helga’s first try at establishing her jewelry store failed. After re-evaluating her experience, she opened another jewelry store. Helga is now the proud owner of three successful stores.Helga didn’t fail in her first attempt. Failure occurs when we quit or stop trying. Especially in Network marketing.

Helga has perseverance – “stick-to-itiveness.”Perseverance is the key to success. After thousands of efforts to make the electric light bulb, Thomas Edison said, “I haven’t failed, I’ve identified 10,000 ways that it doesn’t work.” Mario Lemieux, Helen Keller, Abraham Lincoln, Marie Curie and an endless list of other great MLM achievers found that success inevitably arrives for everyone who perseveres.

Acquiring a desired job or promotion, or succeeding at business may present difficulties. But this is part of the learning process. Ultimately, people who persevere become successful. They learn from mistakes.Do you persevere? Or, after meeting rejection or difficulties, do you quit?

Test Your Perseverance Quotient


Rate yourself – on a scale of one to three, one being low and three being high – on each of the following:

  1. I believe in myself. I have clear career goals. I address my limitations. I bounce back from disappointment. I have the stamina to persist. My family and friends support me in my pursuit of goals. I can adapt to change. I focus and complete projects. My goals are consistent with my purpose and values.
  2. I can take unpopular actions when I believe I’m right.

Add your scores. The higher your score, the more perseverant you are.

Tips for Persevering

  1. Clarify your goal. Base it on your mission/passion, needs and abilities. Know why you want your goal and how you and others will benefit.

    State your goal in the present. Write desired outcomes, what you want to accomplish. Be detailed, specific, positive.

    Intend to achieve you goal. Outline goal, strategies and timeline for your home business. Know resources that can help you attain your goal, such as people, associations and the Internet. Break the goal into small steps, working backward form your desired outcome and achievement date.

    Develop support systems. Meet regularly with positive, encouraging people who support your goals and celebrate your achievements. Select other sources of positive reinforcement such as books or tapes with uplifting themes.

    Choose productive attitudes and behaviors. Don’t dwell in the past, worry about what might happen or view yourself as a victim.

    Maintain optimism. Reinforce the positive in yourself and others. Expect good things. Watch self-talk. Replace negative thoughts or statements with positive ones. Keep a diary of each day’s good experiences.

    Focus on what you can do. Acknowledge your accomplishments. Judge your accomplishments against personal standards of self-improvements.

    Have the courage of your convictions. Don’t change for others or compare yourself with others.

    Develop the will to risk. Don’t fear mistakes. Ask: ‘What’s the worst that can happen?’ Decide whether you could live with the worst or take steps to reduce the chance of it happening.

    Research your goal to reduce negative outcomes. For example, interview successful people who have achieved similar goals in MLM. Learn from their mistakes.

    Live in the present. Don’t worry about what might happen. View mistakes as opportunities to grow in Network Marketing.

    Let go of attachments. The more attached you are to something, the greater the fear of losing it.

    Maintain a healthy lifestyle.     Care for you mind, body, emotions and spirit. Schedule quiet times to think and reassess. Practice stress relievers such as deep breathing, exercise, meditation. Get sufficient sleep, eat healthy. Take time for fun and friends.

    Practice imagery. Imagine yourself living your goal today. Hold your desired outcome firmly in your mind. See, smell, touch and hear aspects of your goal. Each morning upon rising, review your goal. Repeat the process at night.

  2. Persist. Focus on goals daily. With every “no” of defeat you’re closer to a “yes” of success. If you learn from set-backs and stay on course, success will follow. Every day, at regular intervals, ask yourself whether your activities are helping you attain your goal.

    Believe you’ll attain your goal. Persevere. When your mind, emotions and activities focus on your goal, you can achieve the extraordinary.

MLM Network Marketing Training- 7 Keys to Effective MLM Online Prospecting

October 9, 2009 by Leave a Comment

Effective MLM Network Marketing Online Prospecting TipsMLM Network Marketing Training- 7 Keys to Effective MLM Online Prospecting

As a seven year student of Network Marketing I’ve had great success with online prospecting. After more than two years of trial and error I’ve come up with seven key points that’ll make your prospecting efforts more effective.

KEY #1 – USE A “GENERIC” PROSPECTING WEB SITE

Why a generic site and not your company’s site? Simply put, you can’t effectively offer your opportunity as a solution to a prospect’s problems until AFTER you know what those problems are. Let me explain… As Network Marketers we believe that our industry can offer financial freedom and time freedom to those with a great enough desire.

But, we also know that if a person doesn’t have strong and compelling reasons to get involved, they’re just not at the right time in their lives to have much chance of success. Look for and visit some generic MLM online prospecting sites.

Choose one that forces YOU to revisit the reasons you joined your company. Choose a site that you feel will pull a deep emotional response from a visitor. A good online prospecting site will do that and more. It will act as a “filter” causing those not yet ready to click out, and compel those who are to take action and inquire about what you have to offer.

KEY #2 – PROVIDE A FORM TO CONDUCT AN INTERVIEW

From my experience I have found that the greater the emotional response, the more information she will be willing to give you about herself. And the time to get that information is RIGHT NOW! Your prospect has just emotionally confronted the problems she is experiencing in her life. She hopes you can help her. Now is the time to ask her questions and LOTS of them. Her answers will show you exactly how to present your opportunity as a solution to her specific problems.

Therefore, the online prospecting web site you choose MUST have a response form that asks her questions that will provide you with the information you need. Preferably, this form should be set up in the form of an “interview” and ask PROBING questions. Aside from the basic information you’d always ask for (name, address, etc.), here’s a few examples:

–Does she have large credit card debt? How much? -What would an extra $500 per month mean to her? -What would she buy with the extra money? -How much time could she devote to a business? -What about her would make her a good candidate for owning and running a home business? -How would she feel to have more free time? -What would she do with it? -Does she have children? How many? -What is her current occupation? -Does she like it? -Has she ever owned a business before?

This kind of response form can be a further filter for sorting good prospects from bad, as well as good from great. A person willing to give every piece of information you ask for is a good prospect. The form should also provide text area for “Additional Comments”. The really great prospects (the ones for whom the time is exactly right) will use this area to share exactly what they want to change in their lives and WHY.

KEY #3 – YOU MUST MAKE PERSONAL CONTACT WITH HER

While the Internet is the perfect medium for online prospecting of potential Network Marketers, it’s also a very impersonal place. And we all know that our business is built on “personal relationships”. So, when someone fills out a response form from your site do yourself a great big favor – CALL HER! This ONE thing alone will separate you from EVERY other online prospecting web site she’s visited before. (And believe me, she’s visited many!).

And your call has another very positive effect on her. She’ll feel that what you have to offer may also be real and worth her consideration. The call should be very short, but friendly and courteous. Just introduce yourself and tell her you are following up on the “interview” she submitted at your web site. Use this call to verify that the email address she gave you is correct. While making this call DON’T try to recruit her or bombard her with your opportunity. And don’t answer questions about your opportunity. Now is not the time. You keep control of the conversation. DO inform her what the next step is….

KEY #4 – AUTOMATE A POWERFUL PRESENTATION

Your next step can be whatever you currently do with offline MLM prospects. Send her to a nearby opportunity meeting, company web site, etc. But, the true power of online prospecting is in the use of email. I use a “smart autoresponder” to automatically send out a series of emails to present my network marketing opportunity.

The emails are set up to go out at different intervals depending on what was presented in each email. All I have to do is enter the prospect’s name and email into the system. The KEY for these follow-up emails is that they be personalized. They must appear like you wrote each and every one of them specifically for her. You must use her name often and like she is an old friend.

KEY #5 – PERSONAL FOLLOW-UP

After there has been enough time for her to have reviewed the email presentation make a personal follow-up call. The follow-up call is the perfect time for a three-way with your upline or another mentor. The third-party lends credibility to you and your opportunity. It also let’s her know you’re serious, that you care, and are ready to help.

Pay special attention to the few MLM prospects who contact you DURING your presentation process. These people are showing you they’re motivated and are likely ready to join your program! Without exception, I have sponsored EVERY prospect who contacted me during my email series. And every one of these people are “a step ahead” of the rest of my downline. Call these people immediately and answer their questions. Then SPONSOR THEM!

KEY #6 – TIMING, TIMING, TIMING!

The personal contact phone call, the email presentation, and the follow-up call all need to happen quickly. Again, it is important to remember that your online prospecting web site caused an emotional response that got your prospect to fill out the response form. Don’t let that emotion die. The personal contact phone call should happen within 24 hours of receiving the prospect’s interview. Your MLM presentation needs to get into her hands immedi

ately. If you’re using an info-packet, send it overnight. If you’re using email start them immediately.

The follow-up is not quite as critical (unless she contacts you first). Your prospect needs ample time to get through the information. Since my email series takes about a week to be complete, I wait around 10 days. My sponsor and I make calls one evening a week. I follow up on my own with those we can’t reach on that night. When I get an answering machine I ALWAYS leave a message. You will be surprised how many people are screening their calls and pick up when you mention your online prospecting web site. If they actually aren’t at home I want them to know that I am trying to reach them.

KEY #7 – CONTINUE FOLLOWING UP

Don’t take anyone off of your list. If the timing wasn’t right for her now, it might be in the future. Put all your prospects into an email file and send them updates and information periodically. Keep an open eye for good information on Network Marketing, your company press releases, and your company’s new product launches.

Compose friendly and short emails and send them out to your list periodically. Every now and then someone on your list will stick their head up and join your program. Remember not to SPAM. If someone requests that you stop sending info remove her from your list immediately.

CONCLUSION — Network Marketing via the Internet provides a way for many people to overcome obstacles that have prevented their p

ast success in our industry. Prospecting, recruiting, and duplication has never been easier than with the automation made available via the Net.

By the way, are you wondering why I write in the female gender? My experience shows me that women out-number men about 4 to 1 when it comes to looking for home based business.
