How to send Magnetic Invitations for a Home business In Home Meeting.
If you are planning on sending invites out for your in home meeting, send them an invitation in the mail about your meeting, PLUS in an email as insurance, 2 weeks before your in home meeting happens. There are amny different types of invites but we like to send what we call MAGNETIC INVITES.
For example, a rep for a nutrition company would send something like this:
“You are cordially invited to a Private Business Reception at my home on Wed. the 22nd, to celebrate the opening of our new business in the <Healthcare Industry.> You will learn how important <Healthcare> is today for our personal lives, littel known tips that will help you with < > and also how to take advantage of a Trillion Dollar industry that is growing rapidly. It starts at ——–pm, and will end in about an hour or less. Food and drinks will be served and there will be free gifts and prizes given away. Please RSVP. I look forward to seeing you!”
This invite is short, to the point, and tells them what it is all about. PLUS it assumes they are coming. There are many ways to write an invitation, check with your sponsor to see what he/she recommends. One of the best ways to insure they read your invite is to social them, email them, and snail mail them. it is effective and powerful for an in home invite.
ALSO– Dont forget to buy the food and drinks for the Reception!
Don’t over do it but be generous. Sodas and finger foods are nice, and all that is really needed. This is NOT a banquet, but a nice reception to celebrate your mlm business. By the way, word of advice: NO ALCOHOL. This is a business meeting and you want to set standard with you and your team of professional business. What you do AFTER the meeting is your personal business.
And dont forget to Follow up with a phone call!!
“Hello Nancy? This is Doug, I need your help on something. I recently sent you an invitation to a reception at my home, and I am following up because I really need you there as a friend. Can I count on you being there for me?”
KEY Phrase: ”Can I count on you being there for me?” will double your attendance at your meetings, as most people id they know they are being counted on will show up.

“And would you mind nringing some < > as I do need a little help with this meeting. Would that be ok? I really appreciate your help?”

MLM Training- How to CRUSH IT with an In Home Meeting – Part One
MLM In Home Party Plan Meeting.
Have you ever invited people over to your home for a meeting for your home business?
Do you ever wonder HOW to do an in home meeting so you can CRUSH IT in your network marketing business?
Would you like a “how to” for doing an in home party plan meeting?
Whether you are working online and in social media or funnel marketing, or do it the old fashioned way person to person or over your mobile, you will find that often doing a group meeting is powerful and produces great results.
Here is part one of this series on how to do a Powerful magnetic In Home Meeting:
In Home meetings (Private Business Receptions) and Party Plans are a great way to introduce your new MLM business to your warm market, and of course, there is a right way and a wrong way to do them.
What is a Private Business Reception (PBR)?
It is when you invite people over to your home and have a “social-business” network marketing direct sales meeting for about an hour or so, and dispense information to your friends about your mlm business and products and services.
It is a powerful way to create some “instant success” in your business right off the bat, and you can sell a lot of product at a home meeting, or as some companies call it, a “party plan” or a “home party”.
Network Marketing and Direct Sales have used this strategy for years, and has proven to be a successful venue for your business. Mary Kay has used it for years, as well as Avon, Amway, Jafra, NSA, Herbalife, and many others as well.
At a Private Business reception, or In Home Meeting, you can talk to many people at once, which is more EFFECTIVE than doing all one on one network marketing appointments. If you are going to be talking to people, why not talk to them in groups?
One of the biggest secrets to wealth in MLM…talk to the majority of people you talk to in groups, whether it is a PBR, or Business Opp meetings, or Conference Calls.
It multiples your time.
Why do a PBR?
1)It is Comfortable.
Most people who you know wouldn’t mind coming over to your home and seeing a short business presentation to help you.
2)It is Convenient.
Many hotels are out of the way to many of your friends, and normally, driving to a friend’s home is not an ‘out of the way” thing…
3)It creates a very “familiar” environment for business.
Your friends who have been over at your home before, will see this as something that is “familiar”, and warm.
4) It creates a great ‘Social” Focus as well.
Everybody likes to socialize, and we as humans are social creatures for the most part. This can be fun and even exciting if done well, and it has food involved as well.
I have done numerous (hundreds) of PBRs and let me tell you, they not only were fun, but we wrote business out of them.
OK. What do you do?
A)Decide who you want to come.
Make a list of the people you truly would like to have at your network marketing meeting, and create a list of about 30 names.
B)Send them Invitations.
Send them an invitation in the mail about your meeting, at least 2 weeks before it happens.
For example, a rep for a nutrition company would send something like this: “You are cordially invited to a Private Business Reception at my home on Wed. the 22nd, to celebrate the opening of our new business in the Healthcare Industry. You will learn how important Healthcare is today for our personal lives, and also how to take advantage of a Trillion Dollar industry that is growing rapidly. It starts at ——–pm, and will end in about an hour. Food and drinks will be served and there will be prizes given away. RSVP.
This invite is short, to the point, and tells them what it is all about. There are many ways to write an invitation, check with your sponsor to see what he/she recommends.
C)Buy the food and drinks for the Reception.
Don’t over do it. Sodas and finger foods are nice, and all that is really needed. This is NOT a banquet, but a nice reception to celebrate your mlm business. NO ALCOHOL. This is a business meeting.
D)Follow up with a phone call.
“Hello Nancy? This is Doug, I need your help on something. I recently sent you an invitation to a reception at my home, and I am following up because I really need you there. Can I count on you being there for me?”
KEY Phrase: ”Can I count on you being there for me?” will double your attendance at your meetings, as most people id they know they are being counted on will show up.
E)Make sure all Audio Video Equipment works…
That is self explanatory.
We will go over Part 2 of this series next post to help you and your mlm network marketing direct sales home business.

MLM Training- Are YOU Practicing “Net-DOG Marketing” Unknowingly?
MLM Network Marketing prospecting.
Are YOU practicing NetDOG Marketing?
Do you KNOW what that is in a home business?
Would you like to know what it is and STOP IT if you are in a network marketing business?
This business of MLM often has gone to the DOGS!
WHAT??????
It is time that you realized the “Rule of the Dog” in Network Marketing:
You are NOT a dog. Quit chasing after people like a dog – and start developing new relationships with people who are chasing you.
READ THAT AGAIN.
You are NOT a dog. Quit chasing after people like a dog- and start developing new relationships with people who are chasing you.
Most people in this business chase people for phone calls, for appointments, and even dates
they can get together and talk.
That is one of the most powerful realizations in home business. Chasing people that you
want to recruit into this industry is:
1) Demeaning.
You do not need to be demeaned in your efforts from people that will never understand. You are a Home Business Professional and you should realize that you are looking for the RIGHT leader- not just for someone that has a breath. Quit chasing the Neg-heads and start embracing new friends who want to talk to you that you can find online.
2) Desperate.
When you are chasing folks, you are looking and coming across as desperate. Your intentions may be good, but your image is not. Chasing people always looks like you have nothing going on in your business, and this is one of your last prospects. You need to come
across as the exact opposite. You will be glad that you did, as it truly makes you look confident.
3) Delusional.
If you think that chasing people to get them into your business is going to be magnetic, you are delusional. It will never attract quality into your business. And you will continue to be frustrated and discouraged.
Now let’s be clear about something.
You MUST follow up with everyone that you connect with. That is part of the foundational
Success process.
But you do not want to chase them.
That sends the wrong message and the wrong intentions.
Leaders do NOT chase. They simply reconnect and see if they are supposed to pursue it any further.
What is the dfference?
Chasing is letting the prospect set the time agenda and control the situation.
Letting the prospect chase you is you setting the time agenda, and controlling the
situation like all Leaders do.
That is why that you need to make that paradigm shift, and start to understand that thee
are people out there that truly are looking for you, and you just need to connect with them. That is why social media is so important in today’s business.
It allows you access to these folks and the ability to find them, befriend them, and then recruit them. It takes time, and it takes some learning, but it is so much more powerful than chasing prospects continually just trying to get them to answer the telephone.
Do NOT practice NetDOG Marketing in your mlm network marketing home business!

MLM Training – 5 MORE Powerful Phone Recruiting Scripts
MLM Recruiting Phone Scripts.
Do you use the telephone for your network marketing?
How often do you use the phone for your mlm home business?
Would 5 powerful mlm telephone recruiting scripts help?
There are what we call “Talking Points” in training. I personally think that totally scripted inflexible phone scripts can work more against you, then work for you.
Why?
Many times, it seems that the distributor is READING it and sounds like it. I believe that maybe having some flexibility in what you say is a whole lot more professional and a whole lot more effective.
I have taught “Phone Script Points” for years and have found that they are not only effective but also powerful.
Here are 5 MORE Powerful Telephone Recruiting Scripts
1) I ran across a new idea that I want you to know about.
“Kim, this past week has been an amazing week. I ran across an incredible idea and want to run an idea past you for possibly some friends that you know. Do you have some time tomorrow?”
“Barb, I need your help. I ran across an idea recently and would love to run it past you, as I believe it can help some people you know. When do you have 10 minutes this week?”
2) I want to ask you an off the wall question.
“Sue, if you don’t mind, I would like to ask you an off the wall question: Are you happy with what you are doing for a living or do you want more out of life?”
“Sally, I want to ask an off the wall question: have you ever thought about having enough money that you did not have to work? So have I and have been thinking about it a lot. Let me tell you my thoughts…”
3.) Have you ever thought about owning your own business?
“Lane, I have a question that has been on my mind a lot lately, and was wondering if it has crossed your mind. Have you ever thought about owning your own business or even a part time business out of your home? What have you been thinking?”
“Nan, I have been thinking lately of the future and where my life is headed, and was wondering if you have ever thought about owning your own business like I have been. Tell me what you have been thinking.
4) That is really interesting…Tell me more…
“Wow- that is horrible about your job! Tell me more…”
“That is interesting. I did not know you felt that way. Tell me more…”
“Lisa, that is where I am –I am looking for more money too-tell me more about what you are looking for….”
5. Hey- do you have a second?
“Do you have a second? I have discovered something that I believe will help some people we both know.”
“Do you have a second? I need to run soemthing past you and see if it would help anyone you know.”
These are 5 powerful phione recruiting scripts that will WORK for your network marketing home business.

MLM Telephone Prospecting Scripts.
Do you have a question or phrase that you use in your home business?
Are you asking the RIGHT questions in your network marketing business?
Would you like to learn 7 powerful mlm telephone scripts?
The single greatest tool you can still use today in your mlm prospecting and recruiting in your netwok marketing business is the TELEPHONE.
Yes, I am a huge fan of online recruiting, and teach it. But you STILL must use the telephone in your reaching out, training, and opening up the relationship to the next level.
Even cold market calling on the telephone. I did that for years and used numerous talking point scripts that worked.
I have done several posts on mlm telephone prospecting scripts as well as mlm recruiting scripts, but these 7 scripts ROCK and will help you in your mlm telephone prospecting.
Here are 7 powerful MLM Telephone Prospecting Scripts for Recruiting:
1) “I wanted to make you aware of it.”
“And Robin, when I ran across this, I though this would be something you could use, and I wanted to make you aware of it.”
“Larry, there are a lot of great things I have seen lately, but one I have found stands out, and I wanted to make you aware of it.”
“Tisa, I need to talk to you, because I have stumbled across something that I know you will want to be made aware of, if you are not already. Have you ever heard of_________?”
2) “If the right thing came along…?”
“By the way, let me ask you a question. You said last week that you needed more money. If the right thing came along and you knew it was right for you, and you could make great money without changing a thing you are doing-would you want to know about it?
“And I have an off the wall question I want to ask you- if the right thing came along and you knew it was right for you and you could make really good money with it, would you want to explore it?”
3) “Have you heard about this yet?”
“Just curious… Have you been head about this—it is about an amazing advancement in (Technology, Skin care, Nutrition, Internet, Travel, Insurance, etc)? Here… take a look at this… it’s amazing!”
“Don, have you heard about this yet? Someone showed it to me and I was blown away by it. Let me show you….”
“Lois, have you heard about this yet-a new way to ___________.”
4) The Power Practice Approach 1 – “Live Presentation.”
Tom, are you busy? I need some help. I have recently partnered with a company that has asked me to do 5 presentations this week, and I need someone to practice on before I go live. If I am going to mess up, I would rather it be in front of you, then someone else. When do you have ten minutes this week I can run by?”
5 ) The Power Practice Approach 3 – “Nervous.”
“Terri, I need your help on something. I recently joined up with a company, and to be honest, they have asked me to do some presentations this week, I am really nervous about doing them without practicing first, and was wondering if I could practice on you first. I really need your help. When would be a good time?”
6) The Power Practice Approach 4 – “Keep your checkbook.”
“Terry, I could use your help this week. I have recently joined up with a company and they have asked me to do several presentations this month. I need to practice on someone before I do the presentations. Keep your checkbook in the drawer, as I am not going to try and sell you anything- I just need to practice on someone. When are you going to be home?”
7) From the Heart Approach.
“Karen, I need your help on something. I have done something I have always wanted and dreamed of doing- I have started my own business. I wanted more control over my future and life. Now before you start rolling your eyes, I want you to know I am very aware of the risks, but it is also a risk if I never did it.
How you can help me is simple- I would like for you to look at possibly becoming a customer, and even pointing me in the right direction of someone you might know that this business would be right for and needs some extra income. And the worst case scenario I need you at least as a cheerleader cheering me on as your support would mean the world to me. When can we get together?”
These are 7 mlm telephone prospecting scripts that will help enhance your mlm prospecting for your home based business.

MLM Training- Most Powerful Closing Question You can Ask Your Prospect
MLM Closing Tips.
Do you struggle with your “closing” as many people call it for their network marketing business?
Do you have a “pat” way that you close your prospect or do you try different things in your home based business?
What would be your closing ratio for your network marketing business when you ask for the order?
Many distributors struggle and do not need to.
First off, I do not call what most call “Closing the Prospect” Closing.
I really shy away from it, as it has a tendency to cast a negative message unknowingly to yourself. When you use the word “Close” it has a tendency to be a win or lose proposition.
You win.
Or…
You lose.
Nothing much inbetween. You either CLOSE them or you do not.
I prefer something more…well…GENTLE and something that will not be seen as a “transaction for MY gain” as often it comes across like that. I have seen “closers” that ALL they focus on is what THEY can get out of the prospect, not what the prospect can get to improve their life.
In network marketing, I have found throughout the world in my travels, EVERYONE feels the same way about this- they DO NOT want to FEEL like they have been CLOSED.
I had a leader out of Perth Australia recently say that the biggest complaint he hears from his team’s “closing” is that is was way too MANIPULATIVE and pressured.
Hello.
That is how many distributors/consultants come across. They are trying to manipulate the prospect into their business and do it quickly.
You are going in a losing proposition that will never build a long term home based business.
Ok, then what can we do to close the mlm home business prospect?
We came up with what we call The “You are Probably Waiting” Navigator.
What is a Navigator?
Great question.
I do not like to call these phrases or questions “Closes” as it is NOT what they are. They are “Navigators” that navigate the prospect to the decision that is right for them.
Closing ENDS things.
Navigating CATALYZES and OPENS things to happen.
So what did we come up with that was so powerful?
A very simple question that lays it out and the mlm prospect appreciates your honesty.
Here it is:
“You are probably waiting for some fancy, well rehearsed, manipulative close….something that is really tricky. That is not who I am. I respect your decision and want only what is best for you and your family. Look, either you see this or you don’t. Question is, do you believe we would make a GREAT TEAM if we started working this together?”
That’s it, ands has worked wonders through the years. Online as well as offline. And I would suggest that you spend some time practicing it, and getting it down in your own words.
If you do, don’t be surprised if you start seeing some amazing results in your mlm network marketing work at home business.
