MLM Training- The ONE MLM Recruiting Secret 99% Do NOT Know?

November 9, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

mlm recruiting

MLM Recruiting.

What is a million dollar secret worth to your mlm home business?

What would you do to discover a secret that would explode your business?

That is the reason for this network marketing training post.

But sssshhhh….keep it a secret!

Recruiting is something that many people teach and train on, there is no doubt. There is a lot of great information out there from a LOT of folks. I love to read and watch their stuff as a lot of it is really GOOD and we all learn from each other.

People like:

David Wood.

Eric Worre.

James Hicks.

Randy Gage.

Krysten Darkenwald.

Diane Hochman.

And the list goes on and on….some are new on the home business scene- others have been around a while.

But regardless whether you recruit ONLINE or OFFLINE there is a HUGE secret that seems to be rarely taught. It impacts ALL of your mlm recruiting efforts and often can accelerate them if you know this little network marketing recruiting gem.

I have a Private Client that was struggling with sponsoring prospects and we did what I call a “Recruiting Audit.” This is basically an intense check up not only on what she was doing but actually auditing the process of mlm recruiting. after a bit, I saw that there was a huge DISCONNECT to something that she had not factored into her recruiting. And when she did, it not only turned her recruiting results around, but also increased her confidence and boldness when talking with people.

We are going into the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays and these holidays carry a LOT of emotion and memories. This plays all into this little gold nugget on home business recruiting. The fact that you are still reading this post shows that you understand that and you are seeking an answer to something you may be struggling with.

But we have been teaching this mlm recruiting secret for quite some time and have even factored it into mlm online recruiting as well. It works both ways. If you understand what I am about ready to share with you, then it could turn your whole business around if you let it.

And if you do not, then re-read this post.

what is this little mlm recruiting secret that 99% do not know?

Simple.

ALL Recruiting-is 80% psychological- and 20% process. From both sides.

Read that again and THINK about it.

ALL recruiting results come from the psychology of recruiting (both from YOU and the prospect) – and the other 20% from the actions you take. The actions you engage when you recruit a prospect will have a FEELING that people will SENSE about what you are doing.

That is why COPY WRITING is so important.

That is why looking into the person’s eyes is so important.

That is why creating IMPACT with your message– online or offline- is so important.

That is why creating a Sense of URGENCY is critical.

That is what creating a CONNECTION with the prospect is imperative.

It is what people FEEL and SENSE for your message that will start to form a picture in their mind of what they perceive you as saying, and will determine their actions- or lack of actions.

That is why you SPLIT TEST landing pages. You see which page is going to MOVE the prospect to action.

That is why you continually hone your presentation– webinar or offline. You want to make sure that you MOVE the prospect and move them TOWARDS you.

Here is a little mlm recruiting tip:

KNOW that the prospect is going to MOVE – according to how you have made them FEEL – which paints a picture and perception in their minds. You can use EMOTION to get them IN MOTION.

The emotion of FEAR of Loss and HOPE of GAIN always creates a message that resonates with prospects in a big way. And if you can create that “emotional funnel” as I call it leading them to a point of DOING something, your recruiting will explode.

There are many great secrets of network marketing recruiting out in the profession. But just understand that any and ALL recruiting revolves around and is determined by the psychological aspects of recruiting more than anything else for your mlm home business.

MLM Training- The ONE THING Slowing Down Business during the Holidays?

November 8, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

mlm prospecting for the holidays Christmas

home business seasonal holdiday success

Do you believe that it is THANKSGIVING in 2 weeks and your network marketing business will be in another season?

What are your plans for your network marketing business? Do you have any that will help EXPLODE your business?

Oh…I forgot.

Your home based business takes a back seat to the holidays. It is family time and not work time. It is the time to enjoy life not to work. And that is just the way it is. everyone knows that your home business suffers during the holidays.

Oh REALLY?

Who in the world SOLD YOU ON THAT?

This is the typical thinking of most networkers in our profession. They have done something that has really hurt their business when they did not have to.

They have created a false ideal during the holidays and of course, it more than likely came from their upline or a friend.

Do you know what the word S.L.O.W. stands for?

“Someone Laying Off Working.”

Read that again!

If your business is slow during the holidays, then it is because you have decided to Lay Off Working and yourself from this business.

This brings me to the ONE THING that slows down all home business during the holidays. It slows down volume, paychecks, as well as activity. It is a major hindrance to Success during the holiday- and it is a MYTH.

What is the ONE THING?

Believing that people are NOT OPEN to talking about 2012 and what 2012 could hold in store if they owned their own business.

That is simple- but the truth. It is a myth.

Why?

Because the reality is, is that people during the holidays are more open to talking about CHANGE and INCREASE then any other time of the year. They are looking to make New Years Resolutions and ENLARGE their life and income.

This is their FOCUS: How can I IMPROVE 2012 over this previous year?

if you can help them answer that question- your Holiday Business will be GOLDEN!

This is critical you understand that. The holidays have a tremendous pull on people’s time and focus, so why not talk to the about what is on their mind? IMPROVING next year.

During Thankgiving and during the Christmas Holidays, as well as New years! Simply ask this:

“What are you planning on changing next year that will improve your life and lifestyle? What is your PLAN to do that?”

THEN LISTEN.

They Will tell you all you need to know to start a conversation of possibilities with them about 2012 and the possibility of owning their own business.

Do NOT fall prey to those that say that business slows down during the holidays. Here is a truth:

Business slows down because PEOPLE slow down working their business. Either you accept that or you do not. But it IS the truth.

Look to those that you will see during the holidays and PLAN on talking to them about 2011. This wll help increase and accelerate your business dramatically with your MLM Home Business during the holidays.

MLM Training Videos- 5 MLM Recruiting Secrets to Video Recruiting

November 7, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

mlm online video recruiting

Are you recording videos in your mlm home business efforts?

Are you aware that videos get indexed quicker than any other form of online communication?

How would that EXPLODE your results in your network marketing recruiting success?

I have been recording videos for quite sometime. But they have become more and more important in the overall SERP results with the google panda updates and with bing and yahoo.

Videos are the most visited pages and the most popular pages on the internet. And with that in mind, then you should be focused on using videos for your mlm prospecting and recruiting efforts.

The power of video can be seen in many sites, including network marketing pro. It is a powerful way to TEACH and TRAIN.

But what about RECRUITING in network marketing?

What if you could learn some mlm video training tips that would rock your home business recruiting?

Videos are a powerful MAGNET that can say more in 30 seconds than many written blog posts can say in 3000 words.

READ THAT AGAIN!

So that is the reason I believe that you should be using videos to recruit and enlarge your home based business. They work and they work powerfully.

I suggest that you use youtube for hosting your videos, although there are over 300 more video sites that you can use as well.

Another powerful resource for learning how to recruit with video is:

krystendarkenwald.com

what are 5 ways to use mlm recruiting videos for your home business success?

1. Use them as 30 second messages asking for help with your friends.

This is a powerful tool and tactic. Our Private client have been using this for several years. Simply record yourself on a laptop camera or a FLIP video camera, and ask your friends for some help.

“The reason for this video is I could use some help. I am looking for some talent in your area, and you know who i am looking for as I am building there. Could you please go to < url> and take a quick look at how you can help and I will be in touch soon to see who you might think would be a fit. I m thanking you in advance for your help.”

2. Use an mlm recruiting video in your blog posts at the bottom of your post.

Simply put on top of the video: “Please help me. Watch this 1 minute video and see how you can.”

Many people will watch the video and at the end ask them to view another short company video and refer some talent to you that they think would be a fit.

3. Use your mlm recruiting video in an online recruiting brochure.

Are you aware that you can make online brochures? Here are two:

Desktop Author

My Brochure Maker

Some of the available software will allow you to slip a video in the brochure as well. You can also do this in a PDF format which can be a great way to recruit by sending it out and asking people to look at it and see how they can help you.

4. Use your mlm recruiting videos on other people’s blogs as a guest post.

You can post a great written article on someone else’s blog at the end of your article, post a video. Use the video to thank the person for allowing you to post an article, and then ask them to possibly help you locate some talent in their area and give them a way to contact you. (With that verbiage.) You will find that you will get people emailing you or contacting you with suggestion and even interested themselves.

5. Get a featured video spot on Youtube.

There have been many network marketers that have gotten a ton of leads using this. Youtube allows you to be be the featured video for the day (yes there is a cost) and you get seen by millions of people. Make the video a “tips” video on something. Tips on skincare. Tips on travel. Tips on weight loss. Tips on marketing. Tips on social media marketing. Whatever you think would fit your niche.

Then at the end of this short video, ask them for some help as you are looking for some talent in their area, Tell them you are looking for a leader who you can lock arms with and build a business statewide. This has proven to drive mlm online leads to you like a hurricane. I have seen it do amazing things with only one video.

These are 5 things that you can do to increase your mlm recruiting using mlm recruiting videos.

Network Marketing Training- The Power of DELAY in MLM Recruiting

November 6, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

mlm

Have you ever been in a hurry and because of that you totally blew a great mlm prospect because of your pressure?

Did you ever see a network marketing prospect totally turn off because you were a little too anxious?

Have you had someone in your online funnel and they disappeared because you came across as too eager?

I have seen this in mlm online recruiting so much and well as offline.

In many networking venues, I have seen people ATTACK the mlm prospect right out of the gate. I have seen this online as well on facebook, LinkedIn, twitter, and it goes on and on.

THAT will destroy your online and offline mlm recruiting and prospecting. You come across as desperate and amateurish. A home business professional is just that:

A Professional to his or her prospect that they are talking to whether online or offline. What has that cost you in the past-coming across like you are NEEDY?

Prospects in network marketing are NOT looking for the NEEDY.

How do you come across like you are NEEDY?

1. You pressure because you NEED to qualify for your paycheck.

2. You NEED a sale to make your quota.

3. You NEED to recruit someone because you need the commissions.

4. You NEED to feel like you are working and not playing at the business.

OUCH- that hurt. But it is the truth. Many people come across like they are playing with the business, not working it.

Are YOU?

Here is a strategy that works online and offline. It is something that has proven to be a MAGNET and a RELAXER for the prospect. I have watched with our Private Clients this work and work powerfully. This little mlm secret is a gem.

Ok, what is this mlm training secret called “Delay and Disintegrate?”

Simple. You DELAY talking about your products and home business, and in doing so, you disintegrate any and all objections because of the time you have taken to CONNECT with the mlm prospect and learn what they are looking for.

THEN you show them how you can help them FIND IT.

Wait 20 minutes before you ever start your marketing or recruiting efforts.

Ask 20 questions before you mention your business.

Find out what is important to them and then ask them 20 more questions about it.

THEN after you Delayed the business part, transition them into a Recruiting Conversation-whether in social media, or skype, or a cell phone.

How?

“I am sorry. I have spent so much time learning about you, that I forgot to mention that you may know who I am looking for in your city…let me explain…”

Simple and yet profound.

Powerful but yet gentle for your home business.

DELAY the talking about your products and mlm network marketing business, and see if that does not radically EXPLODE your home business success in an mlm conversation.

MLM Recruiting- Are YOU Making this HUGE Recruiting Mistake?

November 5, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

mlm recruiting no thanks

How would you like to take your mlm recruiting and prospecting through the ROOF?

What would it mean to your business if you could TRIPLE your recruiting ratio- OVERNIGHT?

Yes, you read that right. You can take your recruiting in network marketing to the moon by one simple tweak in your efforts.

Many home business professionals today are making a mistake that is doing 5 things:

1. Stopping people from listening any further.

2. Making people upset and not willing to even entertain the possibility of working with you.

3. Forcing your home business prospect to make a decision based on emotion and not facts.

4. Creating an environment that encourages the word NO and not the word YES.

5. Making you look like a foolish amateur and then amplifying that result.

Not a pretty picture for your multi level marketing huh?

I have seen a lot of good people that have tried to recruit and just absolutely blow it because they were making this huge mistake. I made it and you probably are as well. I can tell you that I have made just about every mistake in the book and not proud of it.

But I hung in there and finally got it to work.

But this only happened after I made the decision to fix what was broken and stop making stupid mistakes as I had been. What does a million dollar mistake cost you?

A million dollars.

And it cost me more than that. And it may be costing you more then that as well. I figured out something that really rocked my world as well as rocked my business. I figured out that I needed to stop DOING something. And I did. Cold turkey. And you need to as well.

What was it that I stopped cold turkey?

I STOPPED RECRUITING.

You read that right.

I stopped mlm recruiting cold turkey. I refused to do it anymore as that had become a thorn in my side, as the Apostle Paul would say.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING you say! Nope. I quit recruiting and never looked back.

And my business EXPLODED.

Ok…why did I quit network marketing recruiting?

Simple.

It was not working. And I changed it and it started working. Hello.

I quit recruiting….and started HELPING PEOPLE.

Read that again.

Helping people.

2 Powerful words that will change your recruiting overnight. If you focus on HELPING versus RECRUITING…

Your whole Presence changes in your mlm recruiting efforts and people will sense about you that you are that to HELP not TAKE.

Do you get THAT?

Help….NOT TAKE. And that is why when I started asking one question my whole recruiting efforts exploded. People can sense if you are there to GET SOMETHING vs. GIVE something. Make them feel RELAXED and at EASE by not coming across like you are trying to recruit them whether online or offline. This question can relax and set people at east INSTANTLY…

“What is the ONE THING I can help you with that would help change your life?”

How simple. How profound. Here is another question:

“How can I help serve your dreams?”

Or…

“Can I help you achieve those dreams you have been talking about?”

These are POWER Phrases that are MAGNETIC and do not come across like you are there to recruit them- but HELP THEM do in their life what they have not been able to do.

How simple. How profound.

I would advise you to QUIT RECRUITING in mlm and start HELPING people to explode your mlm home business recruiting success.

MLM Training- 3 Article Marketing MLM Recruiting Tips No One Teaches

November 3, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

mlm article marketing training

Are you writing articles and blog posts to help drive your business, get backlinks, and get on the front page of google?

Have you been frustrated with your results?

Would you like to change those results and start actually recruiting some folks from your traffic?

Many people today in network marketing are writing articles and posting blogs posts. They are adding content to their blog daily and are focused on getting traffic to their blog or from article directories. With the recent panda changes in google, article directories do not carry the clout they once did, but they are still important to the end results of recruiting. So are blog directories as well as blogging itself.

There are many mlm recruiting tips that we can teach on Article marketing, but I call it something different and have for years.

I have written over 1,200 articles online. I know a little but about this. Because of what I have seen and experienced, I call it “Article Recruiting.” Article Recruiting is much more powerful and focused on the end results- sponsoring someone.

There are many different elements of Article Recruiting, but there are 3 tips that I believe will help you enlarge and enhance you home business recruiting results in writing articles and posts. I believe that article marketing is important, but Article Recruiting is even more so if you are going to be writing articles.

Here are 3 powerful Article Recruiting Tips that will help your recruiting through marketing your articles.

1. Don’t just Keyword your article- KEY QUESTION your article.

The most searched terms on google, bing, and yahoo, are QUESTIONS. They are searched 4 to 5 times more often then any other type of search term. And most people so not use this simple tactic in their articles. I have used it for years and have stayed on the front page of google for years with articles.

Start your article off with 2 questions and even ask a question in the title. This will go far in helping you to get a better ranking on the search engines and other search directories. Notice I did it on this article. hello.

I took some time off for the last 2 years, but 6 month ago started writing again, and we get on the front page of google within 24 hours of writing an article. Yes, we are blessed to have an authority website, but it is the ARO that I am constantly focused on.

ARO stands for “ARTICLE RECRUITING OPTIMIZATION.”

This is something that we came up with in 2006 and have been teaching our Private Clients this little mlm recruiting tip. We want you to optimize your articles for SEO but also ARO. And if you do both, you will CRUSH IT out of the park.

2. At the end of your article or post- give something away free- TWICE in a ROW.

If you are going to give something away that is free, then add another ebook or another video. Why?

You will get a much better click through and download ratio. We have tested it and have found that when we did that, we get almost 300% more click throughs then if we just offer one. And you just upped your potential of recruiting someone by 300%.

Give away TWO gifts- not one.

Set yourself apart. Don’t ne like everyone else. Brand yourself as a more giving brand and more caring brand. Give twice- IN A ROW. That part is important. They MUST be in a row. Then you will see a better CTR on your article.

3. Include a video (link or embedded) at the end of your article or post asking the reader for help.

This one Article Recruiting tactic has proven to be amazing. The Private Clients we coach put a 30 second video at the end of some of their posts, and all they are saying, “Could you help me? I am looking for someone in your city…”

This has proven to be amazing in results. There has been a recruiting explosion in many instances, as a video at the end asking for help is not part of the norm in Article Marketing. But it is in Article Recruiting. Try it. You will find that it will increase your recruiting dramatically over time and even help the links and reads on your articles.

Article Recruiting is something that I believe will help a lot of people, and these tips will as well. Practice some Article Recruiting and see if your mlm recruiting does not explode in your mlm home business recruiting.

MLM Recruiting- How to Turn a Prospect’s Excuse into a Recruiting Tool

November 2, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

mlm recruiting home business

Have you ever gotten an excuse from a home business prospect?

How did it make you feel?

Would you like to discover a simple way to turn an mlm prospect’s excuse into a recruiting tool that WORKS?

Many potential superstars in our profession of network marketing get a negative excuse from their prospects. This is normal for business in general.

Take any kind of business.

Real estate agents get excuses all the time about why a person backed out of a purchase. They get excuses of why a person did not show up for a showing of a home. They get excuses on why someone decided to quit looking for homes.

Excuses are found in every business that exists. Donald Trump I am sure has gotten a lot of excuses. I am sure that almost every business owner that exists has gotten a lot of excuses.

Home business owners are NOT exempt from the excuse game and especially with network marketing. There are many excuses that prospects can give, but they all have one thing in common:

They are a result of some kind of fear.

Fear is the catalyst for just about all excuses, and it stops a lot of people from ever succeeding in any kind of business, let alone Multi level marketing. Fear is a master delayer of actions as well as results. Fear dominates many people’s lives because of how they grew up and how they think.

So you may be thinking, “Wow. How can I get around that?”

It actually is not that hard.

I have a buddy that is a 10th degree blackbelt in Judo. One of the things I have learned from him is that you use the opponent’s strength to your advantage. You let that power become YOUR power for taking the opponent down. What they thought would BEAT YOU actually became a power for success and achievement.

It is the same way in network marketing mlm. You can use a prospect’s EXCUSE as a weapon that will work FOR YOU, not against you-whether you recruit online with Funnel Recruiting or offline with the more traditional methods.

How does this little mlm recruiting secret work?

Simple.

In Judo, every move your opponent makes you use to your advantage. Their move determines your next move. It is the with this mlm recruiting secret.

I call it the “MLM Recruiting Grenade.”

It can blow up an excuse within seconds.

Let me give you the secret:

No matter the excuse they give you- say this:

“I appreciate you sharing that with me. That is the EXACT reason that we need to talk as I have a solution for what you just said to me…”

READ THAT AGAIN.

You just turned their excuse into a SOLUTION and REASON for doing your mlm business with you. This I have used for years, and it has rarely if ever not worked.

If they say “I do not have any money…” Say the Objection Grenade. Then, “I want to share with you a powerful solution that will help alleviate that in your life.”

If they say, ” I would never have time for my own business…” say the Objection Grenade. Then, ” I want to share with you how you can have more time with your family and have make money at the same time.”

This powerful mlm recruiting tip will help you with any and all excuses. If you are getting a lot of excuses, then blow them up. This will help accelerate your Success in your MLM home business!

MLM Training Tips- 4 MLM Secrets to Building Superstars in Your Downline

October 31, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

mlm downline team building

Are you looking to build a network marketing mlm team that STICKS and does not go away?

Would you be open to learning how to build a downline online or offline that GROWS and does not GO away?

Many people today in the home business network marketing arena do not build teams correctly. They build downlines that are shaky and not solid. And a shaky downline is at risk to going somewhere else if you are not careful.

I believe that building a team online still must have some offline time. I have watched mlm teams that are built soley online that never really lasted. The goal of building an mlm downline is to BUILD IT ONCE and not over and over as so many home business professionals seem to do.

But it will require looking for the right people on your team.

The reasons that distributors build their downline over and over are many. But the biggest reason is that most network marketing distributors are too focused on “the next recruit” versus BUILDING the NEXT SUPERSTAR.

Did you get what I just wrote?

You need to decide this:

If you are looking for the next recruit or looking for the NEXT SUPERSTAR in your team and working with them.

Yes, you must always be bringing in new personal recruits, but you must balance that with the power of “Superstar Building.”

Here is a Billion Dollar Tip:

What you focus on Building IN your team- ends up being ON your team.

How do you locate the future superstars in your home based business?

You must look for 4 things in your team:

1. New recruits that are VISIBLE and VOCAL.

Many future superstars are Visible and Vocal and want you to know that they are now a part of the team. I am not saying they have to run their mouth. I am saying they are on every webinar and conference call with a guest, and letting you know they are on. They want you to know you can count on them for guests and building.

2. New recruits that are CALLING YOU.

Future superstars do not wait on much. They just pull the trigger and GO. They call you and ask questions as well as ask for your help. They call you to let you know of the success they are having. They call you to let you know that they are available to help if you need them. And they call you to talk to prospects they have already talked with. In your mlm downline, this is GOLD.

3. New recruits that are sponsoring more than the average number monthly.

These are your workhorses. They sponsor more than the average, and do it every month. Your job is to work with those they have sponsored and get them in the training system quickly. Do not let their new recruits go untrained. Your new recruit may be training them. Make sure they are and working with them online and offline.

4. New recruits whose Success is being talked about by others on the team.

This is always a great indicator of the next future superstar- people talking about what they are doing in your downline. If you hear about someone – give them a call and congratulate them for their success and thank them for their efforts. Or you can text them, facebook them, twitter them, or whatever means of communication you see as right. Pay attention to them and call them “Superstar” to let them know they are headed that way.

Call out what you want to see in your group and let your people hear it. They will respond accordingly.

These are 4 powerful mlm downline building tips that will help increase and accelerate your building of your home business mlm downline.

Home Business Training- 5 MLM Marketing Tips from a 5 Year Old

October 30, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

mlm home business training

How would you like to learn some genius marketing and recruiting tips from a 5 year old little genius?

Would it help your mlm home business to learn from a mind of a kid that “GETS IT?”

I have a friend named Chris who has a 5 year old son named Hayden. He is an amazing kid and smart as a whip as we say down south.

Chris has been in Network Marketing for 17 years, and has loved every minute of it. When he got married, he and his wife had 3 daughters, and all 3 were and are gorgeous. They are 14, 12, and 10 years old respectively.

But Chris wanted a son, and God blessed them with a little boy in 2006.

But not just a little boy. This kid is already a marketing genius of sorts.

Chris has been working at home since his son was born. And Hayden has known nothing but his father being home during the day. Hayden has watched his father for years work his home based business, and learned quite a bit.

One day, Hayden was playing in his dad’s office, and Chris overheard his son playing, and pretending to be doing a training. Chris had taken Hayden to a lot of mlm trainings he had done, but this was a first for little Hayden to be pretending he was doing a training.

Chris actually got his camera out and recorded parts of the training and this post is about the 5 things that Hayden was teaching his stuffed animal collection.

When Chris called me and told me about the training, I asked if I could share it and he said sure. And wow! What a blessing it is to learn from the minds of those who are not jaded by the world yet.

Here are the 5 things that Harden taught that day and he called it his “Netbird” training. They actually are quite applicable to network marketing and home businesses. I would encourage you to apply these simple but profound marketing principles in your home based business.

Here is “The Netbird Training – Hayden’s 5 Network Marketing Tips:”

1. Find out where they hurt and give them a band aid.

“This is what Mommy does and we do too. If your friend has a hurt then find a band aid and let them use it. It will make them feel better, fix their boo boo, and also make them like you.”

Here, little Hayden was offering a SOLUTION and an ANSWER to a challenge that someone may have in life. That is exactly what we do. Our home business is a “band aid” for the hurts in life and to help people fix their “boo boos” in life. Everyone has a problem they want solved. Find out what it is, and then show them you have the answer for their issues.

2. Always play fair and let them play with your toys. They will play a long time with you.”

“If you let your friends play with your toys, they will stay longer and maybe even for supper if Mommy says yes. They will want to come back over and play tomorrow too.”

Here, little Hayden talks about letting your friends engage their life with what you are doing. That is called “magnetism.” If you allow your friends to sample or try or view something without a cost, they will probably stay around longer. That is why you always let a prospect ENGAGE what you are marketing first- to try it out. THEN you will find that most will hang around longer- to stay in the recruiting process.

3. Never let their kool aid be spilled. Always place it where they can get to it, but not spill it.

“Kool aid is wonderful. Always make sure your tiger cup and your friends cup is on the table. That way you will not let it be spilled. That would make your friend sad.”

Always take care of your prospect’s Hope and Possibilities as if they were your own. Everyone has some kind of hope that they want to enjoy in life. They hope for a better and bigger future. Make sure that you TAKE CARE of their dream and hope and assure them if they work with you, they will ACHIEVE their dream, not just have a dream and it lay dormant. Keep the Hopes up for your prospect and let them KNOW you are helping them get to where that hope leads.

4. Always take a nap when you are supposed to. If you take it too late then you will mess up mommy.

“We all need to take a nap when Mommy says to. If we mind her, then we get to have cookies when we get up. Everybody likes cookies!”

There are certain TIMES you need to DO THINGS– and other times you need to let the prospect have some time to review. Either way, these timings are critical for your business. Our Business is a business of TIMING. If you come across too strong you may lose them. If you come across too weak, you may lose them. There are certain times you can “feel” that you must MOVE or slow down. Follow those instincts and sensings. There is a certain path to any process. If it requires to do something a certain day- like follow up- then DO IT for your network marketing business.

5. Never yell. Never scream. Never bark. People who bark are weird.

“If we start yelling then Mommy will come in and make us stop playing. So we must never yell. And never scream as Mommy hates that. And lets not bark either. My Mommy says that when I bark it sounds weird. I like to bark, but not with Mommy.”

Always be relaxed and no pressure with a prospect. And never argue with the prospect. They are ALWAYS right even when they are wrong. And make sure you always come across professional in your online and offline marketing and recruiting. Always be aware of YOUR BRAND and what your brand is saying and messaging. With social media today, you can destroy a brand overnight with the wrong move. People do not do business with people they think are “off” and “weird.”

And also little Hayden said, “And love everybody. People loved to be loved!”

Make the prospect FEEL SPECIAL and loved. It works in recruiting in mlm.

MLM Prospecting Tips- 4 Little Known Cardinal Rules of MLM Prospecting

October 29, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

mlm prospecting

What does it cost you if you do not know TO DO something in your mlm home business?

Can you put an amount on what is is worth if you lose a great mlm prospect to someone else in another company?

OHHH…that one hurts.

What is THAT going to cost you if that person ends up a superstar in network marketing?

Many people in MLM lose prospects because they are not aware of certain rules that MUST be adhered to- whether you are recruiting online, social media or offline. The rules are the same for anywhere you prospect for your mlm business.

I have seen great people go to other companies because the rules were followed by one person but not by another. And the cost I have seen by friends that have lost really strong potential leaders to other companies, have been in the millions of dollars in revenues.

Has this happened to you?

Do you want to INSURE it DOES NOT?

MLM prospecting is easy- but yet must be played by the rules.

And there are powerful consequences to breaking the mlm prospecting rules. In your network marketing home business, you may have found that some prospects more friendly than others.

There is a reason.

You may have found other potential candidates more connected to you then others. That is normal, but also much of that will depend on the rules of mlm prospecting that you have engaged.

If you follow these 4 Prospecting Rules 3 things will happen:

1. Your MLM prospecting will me much more successful.

2. You will prospect quicker and more powerfully.

3. You will lose far less prospects to other possibilities in the marketplace.

I have been there.

I remember I lost one guy to another company in 1990 that ended up a million dollar earner with another company. Years later, he attended and we reconnected at one of my training seminars. We went to lunch, and during that time, I asked him out of curiosity what it was that compelled him to join the other company. When he told me, we both laughed, but then I realized out of my lack of knowledge back then, I had broken a cardinal rule to mlm prospecting.

So, what are the 4 Cardinal Rules to MLM Prospecting?

1. Realize you recruit through the PROSPECT’S EYES and start in THEIR WORLD – before ANYTHING. THEN lead them to your world.

Every mlm prospect-online or offline– sees things a little differently then you. They have different filters they view life through and see life as. You must take the time discover their VIEW of life and then ENLARGE that view to match YOUR view of what is possible. Ask, “Tell me how you see your future going the next 5 years…” and then LISTEN.

2. You MUST Follow – but NOT CHASE, Chasing is a sign of weakness and desperation.

You are NOT a dog. So quit running behind prospects and barking. You must from the very beginning say, ‘Let’s see if this is a fit for you and us, and then we will take it from there. Fair enough?” You NEVER chase a prospect. This was the rule that I broke with that million dollar earner. He told me that I was “too needy, ” “wanted him to desperately,” and came across as an amateur, not a professional. OUCH. Do NOT chase prospects. Give them the information and STAY CONNECTED- but not chasing.

3. Make your prospecting Aggressive- but not high pressure. Pressure is a sure way to lose every prospect you have.

The last word in “pressure” is SURE. You surely will lose your mlm prospects with high pressure tactics. Give them some room to breathe, and time to look at what you have offered. NEVER push them to enroll. You will have to PUSH them to do anything in their business if you do. Give them “homework.” An if they do not watch the video, or listen to a webinar, then are they really a Leader and who you are looking for? hello.

4. Always Always Always let the prospect know that you are looking for the RIGHT Leader- not just any leader.

If a prospect knows that they have to “qualify” to be considered for the leadership role in their city, they will take you more seriously. Whether offline or online. Here is how you say it: “We are looking for a leader that GETS THIS and will be a fit on a powerful team and will help us build a huge business in your state. Tell me about how you view leadership…” This will give them the clue that you are LOOKING for the RIGHT leader- not for just someone who SAYS they are a leader. Recruiting online you will find a LOT of folks that call themselves leaders, but actually are followers. Keep them honest and make then KNOW that you are not going to accept just anyone to open up their city. and take the leadership role. yes, recruit them. But sponsor them, and put them under the leader that you choose for that city or region.

Many mlm prospects have been lost because of breaking these 4 cardinal rules of prospecting. I would suggest that you take a look at how YOU are looking for leads and then see if you are making these mistakes.

Correct them if you are making them, and you will find a whole lot more success in your home business mlm prospecting.
