MLM Local PR for Recruiting.

Have you ever thought of using local Publicity for your home business?

How does that appeal to you and your network marketing success?

Would you like to know about how to get your local media more interested in YOU and what you are doing in your work at home business?

I have subscribed to Marsha Friedman’s newsletter for years, and it truly is one of the best out there for Public Relations and more.

Here is a post she put out about Local PR and how to get their attention. I have had a LOT of local PR wherever I have been blessed to live and some garnered national attention. I would suggest that you take a look at this post and see how it can help you become more well positioned and known in your local area for recruiting as well as prospecting for your home based business.

Get your Local PR ON!

Why Local Media Can Be Your Springboard to Success

Article at a glance:
Local media can position you as a celebrity and expert.
A hometown fan base can help you grow.
Look for shows and publications that are a good fit.

 I admit, I’d be on the first red-eye to New York City if I thought I’d land in the chair next to Matt Lauer on the Today show. Imagine! An audience of millions and Matt Lauer’s hand on my arm!

But while national TV exposure is great, you won’t hear me sobbing if he never invites me to his set. (Well, maybe a sniffle or two – hey, he is Matt Lauer.)  I know that local TV and radio shows, newspapers and magazines can also position me as an expert and a celebrity.

They can help me build a solid fan base that will help carry me to national prominence, if that’s what I want. And they’ll give me a chance to polish my message, so when the big time’s ready for me, I’ll be ready for it.

And local media are far more accessibleeven more so than just 10 years ago.

With state, national and international news now available from myriad sources online, many local outlets are focusing on their community.  Stories and segments about hometown people, events and issues are the one thing they have to offer that can’t be found on a million websites, so if you have a good story to share, you’ll likely find more receptive listeners.

How to get started?

Here are some suggestions:

1. Look for radio and TV shows that have a format for guests. 

Search online for the stations that broadcast in your area and take a look at their websites. Look over show descriptions and if past shows are archived online, take a minute to listen and/or watch.

If they’re not archived, jot down the times and days they air, because you definitely want to experience the show to see if it’s the right fit for you and your message. Pay attention to the topics, the host, the kinds of questions asked and the guests. Think about whether you can tie your message into that format.

2. Look over local newspapers, magazines and online publications for opportunities. 

Read the columns and the articles; what sorts of content do the various editors select?

What topics, tone and length?

How polished is the writing?

Can you provide content that would fit in well?

 If your message is about animal welfare and the publication is about business, can you craft a column, article or tips that will resonate with that publication’s readers?

Or, if you think a reporter might be interested in writing your story, look for the appropriate beat reporter. If you’ve got a new cookbook and a related story idea, i.e. three great Crockpot recipes with just three ingredients, find the name of the food writer.

Think about what you’ll say before you call or e-mail. Your job is to catch the interest of the editor, show host or producer, or reporter, so it’s important to think through what you plan to say.

You can start by showing that you’re familiar with the show or publication:

“I have a topic that would be perfect for Dottie Dolittle’s show about relationships,” or “I’d love to write about how I lost 100 pounds for your ‘Real-Life Losers’ column.”

Explain your segment/story idea as succinctly as possible and provide a phone number where you can be reached at any time during the day. If you start with a phone call, follow up with an e-mail a few days later and vice versa.

Remember, you’re providing content, not selling.

The media will fall in love with you if you provide great, interesting content that resonates with their audience.

They will fall out of love – just like that! – if you use the platform they give you to pitch your book, product or service (that’s why they sell commercials and advertising for)!

The payoff for you being a guest, writing an article or being featured in an article is that you will usually be identified by your name, claim to fame and website: “This is Crazy Joe from Crazy Joe’s Coffee, www.crazyjoecoffee.com.” And that’s where celebrity begins.
  
If you dream of someday dancing with Oprah Winfrey or being interviewed by Howard Stern, don’t give up! Instead, start working toward that now by plugging into your hometown media. Where do you think those big national outlets get their ideas? 

Your fan,
Marsha Friedman

7 MLM telephone training secrets NO ONE Will Tell You

MLM Training- One of the Greatest Opening Questions for MLM Recruiting

mlm training home business

mlm home business training

MLM Recruiting Question.

Have you ever asked the wrong question to a network marketing prospect?

Have you ever ever walked away frustrated because of so many negative responses from your home business prospects?

How would you like to discover an opening line that RARELY if ever gets a negative response?

(By the way- check out www.pressreleaserecruiting.com as it will blow your mind. It will teach you step by step how to find targeted leads- 50 million of them online on press release sites, contact them, and recruit them. Check it out NOW!)

There are many ways to start a conversation with people for your direct sales business. I have found that there are 2 different kinds:

1. The kind that sound robotic, agenda driven, and “I am going to get something from you today!” approach that feels pressured and not relaxed.

or…

2. The kind that PULLS people towards you immediately and makes the prospect FEEL comfortable and relaxed.

Now here is a million dollar question:

Which one would YOU prefer to have asked of YOU?

 

I want to tell you a story.

Her name is Lori. Lori was with a weight loss company, and she was struggling a lot. Her business had stalled and she had no answer for why. Because of that, her upline was putting pressure on her. She wanted her to do more meetings, more presentations, more three ways, and more work. And she did. But it started impacting her family. She was gone more, and she was beginning to  not like her direct marketing business. As a matter of fact her husband was getting to the point that he wanted her to stay home and be a mom.

So she quit.

But she had a lot of weight loss product that she had to get rid of, and called me and asked what she should do. I asked her some questions, and found out that her upline had sabotaged her career unknowingly by forcing her to go into desperate mode, not her normal smiling friendly marketing mode.

I asked her to tell me what she was asking folks when she initially contacted them. She did, and I must admit, it was NOT what it should have been as it was pressured. Her upline gave her the script.

She had turned a warm approach into something that was not relaxed, and not natural for her.

I suggested she ask one simple question and then forget about it.

She said ok, and then we chatted about other things.

3 weeks later, she called me.

What should have taken 3 months to do and get rid of, she had done in 3 weeks.

How?

She got back to being herself, and asked the question we discussed and ONLY that question.

And by the way…

She engaged her business with a new power and today has one of the largest teams in her home business company..

Ok…

WHAT was the question she asked?

Understand, that this is for a weight loss company,  but the question can be used for anything.

Here is it:

“Hey, you know some people dont you? I am doing some research. How many people do you know that are struggling with their weight? Would you like to help them?”

READ THAT AGAIN!

Here is for skin care:

“Hey, you know some people dont you? I am doing some research. How many people do you know that are not totally happy with how their skin looks? Would you like to help them?”

Here is for travel:

“Hey, you know some people dont you? I am doing some research. How many people do you know that would love to go on a vacation at about 20% of the normal cost? Would you like to help them do that?”

This approach is what we call “The Research Connection.”

Try it. Put your niche and products in there and practice it.

Dont be surprised if you see an explosion in your appointments in your network marketing home business!

MLM Training- 3 Phases of a Powerful ProspectingTelephone Call

mlm telephone success

home business telephone success

 

MLM Telephone Training.

Do you know the 3 phases of a telephone call in network marketing?

When do you make your phone calls in your mlm business?

Are to moving through the 3 phases of a phone call with success?

There is a Process that most people use on the telephone, but are not aware of it. They are taught it, but do not recognize the step by step of a sucessful mlm prospecting telephone call. There are many secrets to Home Business mastery, but n on more important than mastering what words and emotions you articulate over the phone for your home based business.
 
The secret to mastering the telephone in a direct selling compnay, is NOT mastering results, but mastering the PROCESS which creates the results.
 
The Power is in the Process, nit the results. The results are a FRUIT of the process in making a successful telephone call.
 
As in all things we do, there is usually a process that we engage step by step. This is no different. We live in a sequenced world, and work in a sequenced world.
 
YOU think in sequence and LIVE in sequence.
 
This is no different.
 
In MLM Telephone Mastery, process is the focus, and results are the fruit. But first you must understand what we call the “3 Phases of a telephone call.” 
 

There are 3 Phases to every highly successful telephone call that is made on this planet.
 
If you understand the 3 phases, the process of making a phone call becomes more powerful. 

1) Phase One is the ‘Pre-Call Phase.”

This is where a Successful phone call is actually made or lost. This is where you program yourself for success.
 
This is the phase where all the emotions take over, you fret, become anxious, think about what you want to happen and what you are going to say. This phase can be 5 seconds long or 5 weeks long-depends on how much you dread the call or look forward to it, as well as when it is to be made.
 
The Pre-Call Phase can either carry with it great expectations of Success, or great dread of wrong results.
 
It contains emotions, anticipation, thoughts, message prep, and decision.
  

2) The Second Phase is “The Live Call.”

This phase is the actual call itself. This is where the actual step by step process is.
Most people make a call, and do it by habit, not focus.
 
Successful people focus on creating a telephone call that will bring Impact, Value, Hope, Connection, and Emotion to a call.
 
The Live call should NOT be a long call- the longest a call should ever be would be 5-7 minutes-any longer and they will be thinking, “I do not have time for anything like this.” 3-5 minutes is the actual best time frame.
 
If they want to pursue more info, then say, “I told you this would be a short call, If you want to take a couple more minutes, I would love to.”
  

3) The Third Phase of the call is the “Post Call.”

This is AFTER the call. Most people think about the call — and get emotional.
They ask questions—”What did I do wrong? Why did they respond like that? Why isn’t this working?”
 
Masters of the telephone ask, “What went right? What did I do and say that was masterful? How can I improve and get better?”
 
Then find ONE THING that went very well- and DO IT AGAIN on the next call.
 
If you book an appointment or something positive happens (which IT WILL) – call someone and celebrate with them. You deserve it and the support will mean a lot to your mlm home based business.

MLM Training- Moving a Product User to a Power Distributor

mlm

mlm

 

MLM Home Business Product User.

Do you have customers in your home based business organization?

Do you know the 5 Steps to moving a customer to a successful mlm distributor?

Would you like to discover how to do that?

Many a customer has become superstars in the direct selling and network marketing profession. You may have some in your customer base that you are not even aware of. But we have found that most of those “hidden gems” in your base of business almost always quietly take a step by step approach to becoming a network marketing home business leader.

It is a normal thing for people who love the product to want to share it and talk about it. That is the catalyst that makes the customer move towards becoming a consultant/distributor.

There is always that possibility that will happen.

What are the 5 steps that a customer will will take to become a distributor?

1. Product Trier.

This is where all product users start. They TRY the product. They like the product. But it all starts with the product. You MUST get the prospect to TRY your product through a sample or buying a retail product.

Sharing the product is the secret to starting a customer towards the path to becoming a distributor.

2. Product Buyer.

This is where they try the product and love it, and then buy it. They have proven they like what the product does, and want to own the product. This is a natural progression form trying to buying for those who like the product and want to make sure they don’t run out of the product anytime soon.

3. Product User.

This is where they have purchased multiple times and have proven to be a loyal user of the product. Many of them order auto ship or have a regular appointment with their direct sales consultant.

4. Product Sharer.

This step is where the customer starts to talk about the product to their friends and family and then shares some information with them. Then they get their direct sales/home business rep to talk to them and then sell them a product.

But….they have missed out on the business at this step!

5. Distributor or Consultant.

This is where the customer has shared the product with some folks and sees a potential business that they can build. And decides that is what they are going to do.

And then they do it. They move to start building their own customer base and distributor/consultant team.

This 5 step process of moving from a customer to a distributor/consultant is one of the most powerful ways to recruit. They are already SOLD on the product and they are already sold on the business model as they have experienced it.

If you focus on your customers and talk to them about who they know you can talk to about your products, you are halfway there to recruiting another distributor/consultant on your mlm home business team.

MLM Training- 5 Secret Ways to Conquer Call Reluctance Forever

 

mlm training on call reluctance

mlm home business training

 

MLM Conquering Call Reluctance.

Call Reluctance in MLM runs rampant. We recently did a post on the 7 Causes of Call Reluctance.

Is this affecting your home based business in making calls?

When are you going to stop making the calls so difficult?

They are SO easy….if you can conquer call reluctance.

Would you like to discover 5 ways to conquer call reluctance FOREVER?

Here are 5 Powerful Steps to Totally Conquering Call Reluctance that woll help you in your home business network marketing efforts. These have PROVEN to work and re-script your mind and self talk prior to a telephone call:
1) Choose your prospects that you can really feel good about calling- the ones that you know you will enjoy the call.
 
Call the ones that you KNOW you will have fun with and enjoy talking to, no matter the outcome. This will  help you become more confident in future calls for the day. It sets the tone. it sets the pace. It sets the focus for powerful results. Ask for their help and for a “practice run” on a presentation.
 
2) SEE the phone as “The Little Helper”  and a “Doorway.”
 
Many folks see the phone as big as a desk and twice as heavy. It is not. It is a Doorway that you can open that will HELP YOU connect with prospects that you can HELP. Simple and easy.
 
3) Read and affirm the Power Phrases on cards you have placed in front of you and speak them with CONFIDENCE.
 
“I am a great telephone master.”
 
 ” I am the best on the telephone in my company.”
 
 “I have NO FEAR of the telephone.”
 
“The next call is going to be the best call I have ever made.”
 
 “Every phone call today I am going to CRUSH IT.”
 
 “Prospects are excited that I have called because I am going to help them.”
 
4) Visualize the greatest phone call you have ever made, how great it went and how you felt, and focus on Repetition of it, not the results of it.
 
See it. Feel it. Experience it. Step into it. Own it. Do it.
 
5) Now, Focus on making THIS CALL the GREATEST Telephone call you have ever made, and when that happens, then the results will show the fruits of it.
 
We call this “The Greatest Call Factor.”
  
Write this down on a card:
 
“This is the GREATEST telephone call I have ever made and it will go EXACTLY like I saw it and felt it in my spirit. It is going to be a Radical Total Success.”
 
Now- REPEAT THAT AGAIN.
 
What are you FEELING now?
 
This is the “Total Telephone Mastery” emotion. Connect to that before every phone call- as it will PROGRAM your brain to focus in on moving towards that as you make the call.
 
Write this down on another card:
 
“I am a Master at the Telephone, and every call I make carries so much Success Potential within it, Success HAS TO SHOW UP –as I control the phone- it does NOT control me.”
 
 Here are what I call The “Four Rs of Total Telephone Success.™”
 
1) RELAX yourself and the prospect-take the pressure off. Have no agenda-only anticipation.
 
2) REASSURE Yourself this will be your greatest call you have ever made.
 
3) REPEAT what worked for your Greatest Call and focus on PROCESS, not results.
 
4) REALIZE that even great calls many times — cannot overcome bad timing.
 
This is how you overcome call reluctance in mlm forever in your home business!

MLM Training- The Power of What Your Time in MLM is REALLY Worth

mlm training

home business training

 

MLM Worth of Your Time.

What if you could discover what your time is REALLY worth in network marketing?

How would that help you in your home business?

Would you like to know?

A friend of mine of 15 years, Richard Brooke, CEO an President of 2 network marketing companies was recently interviewd on the Home Business Radio Network and he sent me somthing afterwards which blew me away. I want to share that with you. It truly is briliant.

It gives you the actual numbers that your time and presentations are worth and really does a great job in explining it.

Here is it:

WHAT IF?

What if building your network marketing empire was actually fun and easy?

What if we changed the way you got paid?

And you got paid $200 for everyone you enrolled?

Or $50 for every presentation you made?

Or $5 for everyone you invited just to take a look?

You might see an hourly wage opportunity … invite four people an hour and earn $20 an hour.

Or piecemeal … $50 for every presentation

Or more of a commission opportunity where you would earn $200 for everyone you enrolled.

Which would appeal to you?

If your company paid you $20 an hour to invite and only to invite, could you make it fun? Could you invite a lot of people?

What if you were paid $50 for every presentation you did? Could you make that fun?

What if they paid you $200 for everyone you enrolled as a builder? How many could you enroll? How many would you?

Or maybe you have an investor’s mentality, and you think about doing something once and earning income on it forever.

So how many people would you enroll if you earned $100 a month on each person forever? Think about it. You enroll one person, and you earn $100 a month on them forever.

That makes each of them worth an income producing asset of over $25,000. That’s how much cash you would need to invest with 5% annual interest to earn $1,200 a year. That’s how much real estate equity you would need to earn $1,200 a year in rent.

Now consider the question again: how many people could you enroll as business builders if each added $25,000 to your net worth?

We make this profession hard because of how we think about it. And because we make it hard, it becomes hard and we don’t do much to make the opportunity work.Hard becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. But if we understood the economics and the math so well that we actually understood how fun and easy network marketing can be, how much more would we make of the opportunity?

If you invite two people a day to “just take a look,” that’s more than 500 people a year. Now 500 sounds hard, but only two a day—not so hard.

But still it conjures up the question … “Who am I suppose to talk to?”

And that’s a question that comes from thinking the opportunity is hard.

If I paid you $100 for everyone you invited, who would you talk to? You would talk to anyone and everyone!

Every profession has its batting averages. In baseball, we know that the average professional baseball player gets a hit every fourth or fifth time at the plate. The average MLB player earns $2,000,000 a year on those averages.

Network marketing professionals have been doing this for 50-plus years, and with over 475,000 people a week enrolling in a network marketing company somewhere in the world, we’ve got proven averages, too.

If you will allow your mind to wander with me and believe in the “inevitabilities,” I will show you how …

  • Everyone you invite can be worth $5.
  • Everyone you give a presentation to can be worth $25.
  • Everyone you enroll can be worth $100 now and $100 a month for the rest of your career.
  • And how each person you enroll can add $25,000 to your net worth.

These are the batting averages of the Network Marketing profession:

  • Invite 5 and you’ll get the chance to present to 1
  • Present to 3, and you’ll enroll 1 as a business builder
  • (If you use “leapfrogging” as part of your presentation technique, you can enroll 50-75% vs. 33%!)

So invite 15 to enroll 1.

Here’s what a typical month would look like using these averages:

  • Invite 52 people—less than 2 per day.
  • Give 10 presentations.
  • Enroll 4 business builders.

After 12 months, you’d have 48 business builders in your group.NOTE: Pace of play makes all the difference in the world. If you enroll 48 business builders over a two-year period, you wouldn’t get 50% of the results but more like 10% of the results. The people you recruit will build like you do, and if you move slowly, so will they! Doing all this in a year creates a fire in your business.

I have been a full time Network Marketing professional since 1977. I know very few people who have ever sponsored 100 people in their entire career. Many people I know who earn $50,000 or more a month sponsored 100-200 people, max.

Now 48 people is a lot in one year, but when you make it fun and easy … it really is fun and easy. And most importantly, it will create an organization that explodes. If you recruit 48 business builders in a year, you’re probably going to end up with 12 hard-charging leaders following the same plan you did. Out of the 12 hard-charging leaders, you will have four who do as much or more than you did … meaning they will be on a pace to sponsor 48 themselves.

Why? How do I know this?

Because you led. Not with words and directions but with massive action, and you made it look easy and you had fun. People follow easy and fun. People follow the money trail. They don’t want hard. Because you built a business that was on fire, they came to add wood to the pile.

Each of your four superstars will accomplish something similar to you, so by the end of their first year (the end of your second year) they will each have an on-fire business of their own. They will each have 3, 4, 5 or more superstars. At this point, you will be empire building, and you probably could not stop the growth if you wanted to.

We could say everyone else quits. But the hard-chargers will charge on and duplicate themselves. So let’s say the hard-chargers keep doing what they’re doing. How many people will you have in your group after just three years? 

  • You
  • The 12 you recruited
  • The 144 they recruited
  • And the 1728 they recruited!

 If each hard-charger uses and sells just $200 a month, your business is producing $376,800 a month in sales. If you earned an average of 7% on each sale you would be earning $26,376 a month.

You can start to see how easy it is.

  • Each of the 48 you enrolled: $549 each … every month
  • And the 144 presentations you gave: $183 each … every month
  • And the 500 people you invited to “just take a look”? $52.75 each … every month.

Now I know what you are thinking, Mr. or Ms. Make-it-hard. You’re thinking that you don’t have a prayer of earning $26,000 a month.

And you are right. That is a very long shot. The odds are against you.

But do you know what the aerodynamic odds are of a bumble bee flying given its weight and wing span? Zero. It is actually impossible. Good thing for them they don’t read.

You might ask what the average person earns. The answer is nothing. Average people make it hard and don’t ever get out of the batter’s box.

So let’s say you earn just 10% as much as the example above.

  • What if everyone you invited was worth $5 … but $5 a month forever?
  • What if everyone you presented to was worth $20 … but $20 a month forever?
  • What if everyone you enrolled as a business builder was worth $55 a month forever?

When you give each activity the right price tag—a reward high enough to make it easy and fun and worth it—then easy and fun and worth it become a self-fulfilling prophecy

 There is is! Hope you enjoyed it, and if i were you, i would make a copy of this, and also I encourage you to visit Richards’ website:

MLM Training- 7 Researched Causes of Telephone Call Reluctance

 

mlm call reluctance

mlm network marketing call reluctance

 

MLM Telephone Call Reluctance.

Do you have any signs of call reluctance in your home based business?

IS there something that you FEEL when you think of making a telephone call to your mlm prospects?

Would you like to KNOW what is causing these emotions that are stopping or paralyzing you in your network marketing efforts?

WHAT is Call Reluctance?

Call Reluctance is en emotional fire in the gut that makes you delay and even NOT make phone calls to mlm prospects and prospects that you already have talked to.

Call Reluctance is a wall of inaction that can hit you before a call and stop you dead in your tracks.

Call Reluctance is a vivid picture in the mind that shows you the prospect REJECTING YOU and not approving of you. And you play that movie over and over in your mind building up fear in your heart.

This one thing- Call Reluctance has stopped many a talented person in network marketing. It is a powerful force that can destroy your business…

One stopped phone call at a time.

Here is a Million Dollar Question: WHAT IS THAT COSTING YOU?

What is that costing you in DOLLARS?

What is that costing you in EMOTION?

What is that costing you in RESULTS?

What is that costing you for the FUTURE?

Those are tough questions. But MUST be asked in order to develop the context of this mlm recruiting post. And YOU need to answer them honestly to yourself. I think you will be surprised at the answers.

I have studied Call Reluctance for over 20 years, trying to understand it, and help eliminate it for people, including myself. I had it bad. But fortunately GREW past it.

I discovered many things in my Call Reluctance research that helped me conquer it.

You can too. The research that I did,  I have in a private folder and it contains some amazing material. I want to share some of it with you over the next few posts that will help open your eyes to it, and train you how to overcome it easily.

Yes, you read that right.

Overcome Call Reluctance in your home business and explode your mlm network marketing business with powerful consistent phone calls to prospects.

Ok….What causes Call Reluctance?

After 20 years of study, I have come to the conclusion that there ar 7 main reasons that engage Call Reluctance and empower it in people’s lives and home based business.

Here are the 7 Reasons for Call Reluctance in Network Marketing:

1. Fear.

Many people in home businesses have a FEAR of rejection and not being approved of. This has stoked the fire of Call Reluctance in many a case. The network marketer cannot pick up the phone and make a call.

2. Lack of Knowledge.

Many distributors never take the time to learn how to make an effective telephone call, even if they are working online or in social media. You MUST take it offline sometime if you are going to develop an enduring relationship.

You MUST learn the very basics of making phone calls that IMPACT, not just inform.

3. Lack of Experience.

Some folks simply lack the experience and make mistakes that can come only from lack of doing it.

Solution: ROLE PLAY before YOU SAY — anything live to a prospect.

4. Other People’s Opinions.

We all listen to the wrong people and what they say.

“You did WHAT?”   “Are you CRAZY? What do YOU know about business?” “Can you get out of this NOW? Those things are illegal.”

And we all know people that are like that.

Ignore them, and get back to work. Those people cannot get you to where you want to go in life. If they could, they would already be there.

5. Self Image.

Many people struggle with an Identity Crisis.

Who they see themselves as being, is a lie. They are more powerful than they know but their slef image keeps them from making the phone calls.

“Why would they want to talk to a loser like me?”

“Why should I make this call? I am only going to mess it up.”

YIU are NOT a loser.

6. Skill Set Challenges.

Practice. Drill.  Rehearse.  Practice. Drill. Rehearse. Practice. Drill. Rehearse. Learn from the best in your company. Learn the phrases and questions. Learn the answers. Learn how to handle objections. Learn how to move people over the phone.  Learn how to book the appointment.

Then….Practice. Drill.Rehearse.

7. Wrong Perspective.

 Many people have the wrong perception and wrong perspective of this profession. They look at it as calling mlm prospects as:
 
“Bugging your friends and family.”
 
“Making me look desperate.”
 
“Taking advantage of relationships.”
 
And the list is endless….but understand:  Calling people to let them know that you are in business and you want to share the good news- is NOT bugging your friends.
 
Not at all.
 
It is saying, “I care enough about you to let you know what I am doing and really would appreciate any support or encouragement you could give.”
 
These are the 7 reasons for Call Reluctance. If you can learn these and master these, you will find an explosion starting to happen in your mlm home business.

MLM Social Media- 3 Powerful Social Media Recruiting Secrets

mlm home business network marketing

mlm social media network marketing

 

Social Media Recruiting Secrets.

Is social media a part of your home business network marketing business?

Are you daily using social networking in your direct selling business?

How would you like 3 Golden Social Media Secrets for Network Marketing?

Here they are:

 

Social Media Recruiting Secret 1.

It is no longer just about creating a Transaction, but a Transition.

 People in the New Marketplace are no longer wanting or looking for transactions, as that used to be the sole focus of marketers.

“Get the order!” used to be the motto.

But that went out with the cassette tape. Today, the new market is NOT looking just for transactions, but they are looking for Valuable Transitions.

 Transitions leading to a better life.

Transitions leading to doing things better.

Transitions leading to living in a better place –inside and out.

Transitions elevating  to a higher level of thinking and doing things in newer and more powerful ways.

 Transitions leading to a place in their life that they used to only dream of.

 And to do that, you must create a transition not only of moving the prospect from one place to another in their thinking-but also growing from one level of living to a more powerful one. If you can show a way that the prospect will GROW with the use of your product as well as membership in the “club,” they will willingly transition from their product they are using to yours. They will also be willing to transition from a listener to a participant, as long as they sense that you are being REAL with them.

 The most powerful way to insure you create a transaction, is to engage a valuable transition. Take the prospect from where they are, and ELEVATE their hope and possibility of a better life to a higher level. ELEVATE their life to a potential more powerful lifestyle. LIFT up their hopes and dreams with powerful images and words and transition them to the level of where you want them to go. THAT is what the New market is looking for, and if you do that, your transactions will become the talk of your company.

Social Media Recruiting Secret 2.  

It’s no longer just about Recruiting-but about Re-Creating.

 Apple Ipod recreated how music was listened to.

Flip Video camera recreated how videos were taken and uploaded.

Youtube recreated how videos were watched.

Plaxo and Facebook recreated how people connected.

Twitter recreated how people communicated.

Web logs recreated how news was read.

Basecamp recreated how projects were done jointly.

Podcasting recreated how people learned.

 And the list is almost endless in today’s marketplace. And no one had to be recruited. No one had to be pressured. Recreate something that will add value to life in a unique and powerful way and people will recruit themselves. You will not have to enroll anyone, as they will enroll themselves.

 What is it that YOU can do, help with, or bring to the table that will help people recreate and resurrect their dreams in their mind and life?

What is it that your product or business can do that will help recreate how things are done, how people live, how people operate their business, and how income can be obtained?

Move beyond just being a distributor. Anyone can be a distributor or consultant. Move beyond the typical representative for a company.

 Move up to a higher level of Home Business.

Move past where everyone else is and move to a place that most will never aspire for. Don’t just be a recruiter.

Become a Re-creator and help people recreate their life and living to be something they never thought possible.

 Yes it will take some serious thought, but all great campaigns do.

Tell them how your products help recreate how life is lived.

Tell them how your products help recreate how nutrition is dispensed in their bodies.

 Tell them how your skin care products help recreate a more beautiful look and feel.

Tell them how your anti aging products help recreate their lost youth.

Tell them how your travel products help recreate exciting relationships that have gone stale.

And tell them how your business can help recreate a dream that maybe they lost years ago of financial freedom.

 Move up to a higher level of Recruiting – to the level of Re-creating. Then let your prospects recruit themselves.

Social Media Recruiting Secret 3:

 It’s No Longer about what People Remember, but about how long people REMAIN – in the Feeling and Emotion.

 People can remember things, names, events, products, places, movies, songs, and many other things. But all it is, is a memory. Memories for the most part, do not move people towards an action. It is just a great memory.

 But feelings and Emotions do. People that get emotional about a product move themselves and others towards the product. People that like how they feel when they are using a product-will continue to use it. People who like how they feel when they are around you-will join you.

A secret about today’s marketplace is the secret of “Remaining in the Experience.” You MUST get people to remain in the feeling of the appointment or phone call long past the goodbye. People today want to FEEL and EXPERIENCE a product, website, song, movie, or restaurant, not just hear about it.

Products that make people feel better about themselves become instant hits. People that help people feel better about themselves become instant Successes. Do not market just benefits as often is espoused. That is for yesterday’s market. Move up to a higher level of Home Business and start marketing the EXPERIENCE of what your products do. And the reason why the experience is so great?

All the benefits that come with it. 

Market the experience of total peace in owning your own home business.

 Market the experience of increased self esteem when you use your skin care products.

 Market the experience of amazing productivity when you use your energy drink. 

Market the experience of total beauty with weight loss.

Market the experience of love or joy with travel products.

 Market the FEELINGS- not just the benefits.

BMW figured that one out. Do did Nike. So did Columbia Sportswear. So did Ruth’s Chris Steak house. So did Apple. So did Hilton. So should you in your mlm home business.

MLM Prospecting Secrets.

How would you respond if someone was using the wrong language with you in your network marketing home business?

What would you say to someone if they were more concerned about what THEY get from you, then offer to you?

Would you like to learn 3 Powerful Little known MLM prospecting secrets for your network marketing business?

Here are 3 powerful quick mlm prospecting secrets NO ONE will tell you:

MLM Prospecting Secret 1)

 “Prospect looking through the Prospect’s eyes, and not yours. THEIR Dreams are focused in THEIR eyes, not yours.”              

Looking and Seeing are 2 different things. 

Prospecting requires BOTH.

 It requires you looking at what the prospect wants to do with their life, and CONNECTING to that Dream and destiny and you SEEING the fruition of it with your business and products in their life.

 It requires you to START where they are, and LOOK at where they are, and SEE where they can go with your business.

 Look through their eyes as far as where they currently are, financially, emotionally, family, socially, and career wise.

Start in their world, and then lead them to your world of home business success.

MLM Prospecting Secret 2)

 Use words that they understand, NOT Network Marketing-ease.”

 Many distributors talk themselves right out of a potential prospect because they use all the wrong words and all the wrong questions.

I have seen this so many times.

 Someone starts talking about “downlines” and a puzzled look comes across the prospect’s face and they start glazing over.

 Someone mentions “upline” and by then the prospect is starting to look for an exit.

 THEN someone mentions “multi level” and you look around…where did they go?

 NOT with you.

 You cannot expect to talk Chinese to a Greek and expect each other to understand each other. It is the same with Network Marketing.

You must use the language that will get them COMFORTABLE and not require them to SORT THROUGH the babble to try and figure it out.

 Don’t use the words like “downline” or “upline”.

 A prospect probably will have no clue of what that is.

 Use words they can understand, and feel comfortable with, like “Team”, “Support system,” and “Leaders.”

 MLM Prospecting Secret 3)

 “Let off the pressure. You are sending a silent signal to your prospect that you are DESPERATE and that alone will kill your business.”

 The last word in Pressure is “SURE.”

 It is the SUREST way to lose a prospect and to make you look amateurish and unprofessional.

 Pressure is a sure sign that you are pressured to do this business.

 Pressure is a sure sign that you are pressured to make some money.

 Pressure is a sure sign that you are NEEDING a sale and a recruit.

 Pressure is a sure sign that you are NOT that successful in what you are doing.

 Come on folks….

 WHO WOULD FOLLOW THAT?

 When a distributor starts putting pressure on someone, it shows there is pressure built up inside of them.

 Back it off, or it will turn them off.

 Here are “Pressure Valve” phrases to release the pressure when prospecting”

 “I am not sure if this is something that would be right for you or not…”

  “I am not sure this would be a fit for you…”

 “This may not be for you, but you may know who I am looking for…” 

All great phrases to let off the pressure when you are prospecting for your home business.

 Use these three powerful mlm prospecting secrets for your mlm home business.

3 Little Known Success Secrets in a Brutal Economy

3 Powerful Quick MLM Prospecting Secrets

MLM Training- The Power in TWO WORDS that Explode Your Business

mlm home business network marketing

MLM Training Secrets.

Are you satisfied with where your business is going in  your network marketing efforts?

Are you looking for some mlm training secrets that will help your home business EXPLODE?

What if there were only TWO WORDS that could accelerate your mlm home business-would you want to know them?

There are many words and qurstions that you can ask, and say that can be part of your activity, no doubt.

BUT- are you focused on the TWO WORDS that GROW your home based business success? A lot of folks are saying the right things- but to the wrong people.

Network marketing professionals- many of them- talk to the same prospects-over and over and over and over. Never realizing the conversation was OVER about 2 weeks ago…

But they were not either listening… or paying attention.

Has that ever happened to YOU? You just for whatever reason, cannot LET GO of the people you have talked to and when what was needed was to let them go…and you keep CHASING THEM.

Like a dog.

Ahem.

I have news for you…

YOU are NOT  dog.

YOU are a home business professional that needs to understand that there is more to this business then talking to a FEW people and then chasing them around talking some more….and some more…and some more.

Folks, this is NOT Net-BEG Marketing.

This is Net-WORK Marketing- with an emphasis on WORK. And that is the reason why you need to start focusing on a different approach and action level than where you are- if you are alowing the same people who have not said YES to you, dominate your time. And they will, many of them, as they like to feel that they are worthy of being “chased” even though they have nor real interest in your home based business.

But they will continue to let you call them and talk to them…and talk to them…and talk to them…and YOU think you are working.

NOT.

There are two words that will determine much of your success un your direct selling and matketing efforts…and I have a success quote that I sent out a while back that I believe will help you focus in more on the TARGETED prospects, not the “not serious” prospects…and many of the prospects out there today will lead you on, lead you astray thinking they are interested, and lead you out of this business because of frustration and discouragement.

What ARE those 2 words?

“NEW CONVERSATIONS.”

“New Conversations are the most powerful tool you have to build a growing business…not the Same OLD Conversations.”

Don’t talk to the same people all the time.

Talk to NEW people every day, every week, every chance.

Talk to NEW prospects every time that a conversation takes place that sounds like it could possibly lead to something powerful.

Take the Initiative and START a Conversation with someone you do not know. Ask them what their name is. Ask them if they live close by. Ask them if they might know of a good place to eat. Ask them if they could help you.

Ask them Ask them. Ask them.

In the 2012 Mastermind class, we are going over what I call becoming an “Outrageous Asker.”

YOU must become that and hold a New Conversation every chance that opens up to do so- in social media, in mobile marketing, in online recruiting, and offline as well.

Talking to NEW mlm prospects for your network marketing business has a tendency to do several things:

1. Extends your Reach in the marketplace.

2. Keeps you Focused on NEW Business.

3. Keeps you IN ACTIVITY.

4. Builds YOU as a Leader and Communicator.

5. Increases your Business Volume Dramatically.

These are GREAT Reasons to hold NEW CONVERSATIONS with people and develop NEW Prospects daily.

Hold a NEW Conversation daily in meaningful ways and in prospect focused language, and your mlm home business will EXPLODE.
