MLM Prospecting Tips- 4 Little Known MLM Prospecting Secrets

MLM Prospecting Tips.

Do you prospect for new leads for your home business?

How do you prospect for your leads in your network marketing business?

Would you like to learn 4 little known mlm prospecting tips that will ROCK your home business?

Here are 4 mlm prospecting tips:

MLM Prospecting Tip # 1

In any social conversation, phone conversation, IM conversation, text conversation, skype conversation, webinar conversation, public meeting and prsentation, use the prospect’s or guest’s name. If you are at an in home meeting, hotel meeting, or luncheon meeting, Introduce yourself to them before the meeting starts. Even on a webinar, tell the prospect you are glad that they are there.”

 Sweet sweet music.

It sounds like a symphony of sweet violins and cellos playing in harmony together.

It sounds like 5 part perfect harmony.

It sounds like a baby’s first cry.

It sounds like a summer night’s beautiful orchestra.

It is PURE PERFECTION in communication.

Ok…what is it?

THEIR NAME.

The prospect’s sweetest sound to their ears will always be their name. And that is why you need to USE IT and USE IT OFTEN.

Nothing keeps a prospect or audience focused more than using their names in the Network Marketing conversation or even a presentation.

They will all sit up and take notice and be especially attentive and alert to you.

And on social media, ask the person if they have a great name, where that name came from. Draw them in with the sweetness of their name.

And THAT is POWER PROSPECTING!

Success in prospecting is nothing more than deciding to become that. YOU are an incredible prospector.

You must simply live into that truth.

 

 MLM Prospecting Tip # 2.

 “Prospect where people are, not where you feel comfortable going. Prospect BEYOND your comfort level to take your business to a NEW level.”

 It is called a PROSPECTING RUT.

It is a rut that many people get in and never leave.

You continue to go and talk with people that you are comfortable with, but yet…

They never come into the business or buy a product.

You even go to the same comfortable places HOPING someone will talk with you, but yet, you never talked with them.

You go to the same stores.

You go to the same bank branch.

You go the same old places….no variation.

NOTE:  Ahem.

There are more prospects in facebook groups than you could imagine.

There are more great prospects in LinkedIn than you can imagine.

What? You do not feel comfortable with that kind of social online prospecting?

Ok…

There are more prospects in one Networking meeting at the Chamber of Commerce meeting then 10 movies you want to go see.

There are more prospects in a work at home show in your city than you can imagine.

There are more prospects in a mall working there than you can imagine.

 Fish where the whales are, not the minnows.

Prospecting for minnows is easier and makes great wholesale customers, but whales don’t get tossed and lost with every change of the tide.

 DID YOU GET THAT?

Leadership is YOU. Success is YOU. Achievement is YOU. You must allow yourself the reality of that to sink in. YOU are already that. You just have to make it REAL in your life. UNLEASH
YOUR Success!

MLM Prospecting Tip # 3

 When Prospecting, don’t just try and recruit your prospects. There is a much more powerful way to do it. Connect them to the amazing Possibilities of your business and connect that possibility to their DREAMS…and let them recruit themselves.”

 I really do not have anything else to say about this nugget.

Wow.

It really is that simple.

a. Find the Pain or Problem.

 b. Connect that Pain to your solution- your business.

 c. Then make the pain go away in their imagination – working
with you.

End of story.

All prospecting is, and will ever be, is connecting the prospects heart to the Hope and Possibility that they CAN have the life they have always dreamed of, and you will help them get it with your Network Marketing products and company.

It is that simple.

End of pain.

There is MORE inside of YOU.
Reach DOWN and pull the Greatness up and then DO what you have been putting
off. SUCCEED wildly with it. Then Let the nay-sayers know they were WRONG!  UNLEASH your Greatness!

MLM Prospecting Tip # 4

Quit Prospecting. Start Elevating. Lift people up first, and they will be more open and more drawn towards you. Encourage, Lift, and Pour Into the prospect all that your business
offers. Let them FEEL the business…not just hear about it.

There is a saying, “Pour it ON!”

I say, “Pour it OUT!”

 And “Pour It IN!”

The greatest secret to prospecting is not about numbers or keep talking to people or even “throw it up against the wall and see what sticks” which I abhor that statement.

It is about POURING INTO the Prospect the Hope and Possibility that their life can be what they have always have DREAMED working with you.

Pour in kind words.

Pour in compliments.

Pour in a solution to their pain.

Pour in your Leadership for them to follow.

Pour in your heart and CARE about what they want.

They will move from prospect to friend.

And it s so much easier to recruit a friend than a stranger.

 YOU are able to do ANY and ALL things. YOU just must believe you can. Life is waiting on you….what are YOU waiting for?

MLM Prospecting – 7 More MLM Prospecting Scripts NO ONE will Tell You

April 9, 2012 by 3 Comments

mlm recruiting secrets

mlm prospecting scripts

MLM Prospecting Scripts Training.

How do you approach people in your home business recruiting?

What words do you use when you are prospecting for your mlm or for your direct sales team?

Would you like to learn 7 powerful MLM Prospecting Scripts that have proven to WORK when you use them?

I am a big fan of certain types of mlm prospecting scripts, but I believe they must “FEEL” natural, normal, and non-threatening. many scripts out there come across like they are “prepared” and not off the cuff.

The secret to creating a successful prospecting script is to make it more Talking Points, and not just a long script.

Many mlm prospecting scripts are LONG and laborious. You must use Talking Points that are more “sound bytes” that can be used in ANY conversation.

And the other issue is that many scripts sound like they are READ or “agenda driven” whether online prospecting or social prospecting, or offline prospecting.

Here are 7 Powerful MLM Prospecting Scripts that can be used in ANY conversation that you may hold.

1. “If the Right Thing came Along…”

“Jesse- if the right thing came along, and you knew it was right for you– to increase your income-would you want to know about it?”

2. “Would you Turn it Down?”

“And I have an off the wall question. If someone showed you how to make an extra 8,000 this year helping people, would you turn it down?”

3. “The Economy is Impacting Everybody.”

“And I think you would agree that the economy is hammering everybody. What are you planning on doing about it? Are you keeping your options open?”

4. “Increasing Your Income.”

“I have a question. Does increasing your income this year interest / apply to you at all?”

5. “How Important to increase.”

“How important is it to you to increase significantly your income this year?  Why?  Do you have a sec?

6. “Has Anyone Told You?”

“Has anyone told you yet about the ABCD Company? Do you have a second-you need to know.”

7. “You’ll Appreciate.”

“Larry-you will appreciate me telling you this. Do you have a second? Let me share this with you.””

MLM prospecting scripts are used daily, and many are very effective, and some not so effective. These scripts or “Talking Points” are very powerful and need to be ROLE PLAYED.

You need to practice these scripts with someone and perfect them until you have them sounding absolutely a part of any conversation.

If you get these talking Points to that point, they will explode your mlm network marketing recruiting efforts for your home business.

MLM Recruiting- 5 Reasons Why Recruiting Audios/Videos Rock Your Business

April 8, 2012 by 15 Comments
mlm recruiting video and audio

mlm recruiting video home business

 

MLM Recruiting Audios and Videos.

Do you use audio and videos to recruit for your home based business?

How do you use them or are you even using them correctly in your network marketing efforts?

Would you like to know WHY you MUST use them in your network marketing business?

Audios and Videos for your mlm home business recruiting are critical. They are as important as the words you use yourself.

What kind of audios and videos can you use?

There are many of them available. There are audio podcasts, CDs, and mp3s that can be used for mlm recruiting. The videos that are available are numerous. Your company should have recruiting videos for you to use, and they should also be on DVD for you to carry with you.

The audio and video are nothing more than TOOLS that can be used for recruiting and building your business in direct sales QUICKLY and Powerfully.

There are many tools that are available to use, but there are really nothing better and more powerful than recruiting audios and videos. They can be used online and offline, and offer a way for you to get your message out in a professional way. They are great branding tools for your business as well.

WHY you use mlm recruiting audios and videos are numerous. Here are 5 HUGE reasons why you MUST use audios and videos.

1. MLM recruiting Audios offer a third party credibility.

Your home business company offers a third party credibility for you in your network marketing endeavors. Your company has put together audios and videos that can be used as a “credibility builder” for you if you are still building your credibility as a leader.

Your company has more credibility with the mlm prospect as the recruiting audio/video is usually done with an “unbiased” approach by someone who tells the story of your company.

2. MLM Recruiting Audios/Videos can say it with a different perspective.

Recruiting videos and audios can offer a totally different perspective, as often they can look like mini television shows and can be quite engaging. The audios often have pumped up music and a voice that is engaging and a story that rocks. 
 
It is a powerful way to let the prospect HEAR and SEE the story of your company from a third party perspective that can be very powerful.

3. MLM Recruiting Audios/Videos can be in 25 places at once.

MLM recruiting audios and videos allow you to be 25 places at one. They allow you to do a presentation in multiple places AT THE SAME TIME. Look at mlm recruiting audios and videos as “little employees” that can go out and tell your story, and do it in a way that can help recruit prospects – 25 at a time.
 
These recruiting tools really do help you MULTIPLY your presence and results in amazing ways.
 
And you can have 25 DIFFERENT presentations being done in one night, or one week, depending on how fast you want to move.
 

4. Audios are a great duplicable activity.

MLM recruiting audios and videos are very easy to duplicate as far as activity. They are easily learned as far as how to approach people, and often it is a “Push-Play” scenario. Push the listen or watch button and listen to it or watch it PLAY.
 
These are great for the new distributor as it is EASY to do, and very effective in telling the story of the company, products, and business.
 
Anyone can hand out or send an audio or video. Thus, it can be learned and done by just about anyone, and then taught to be done as well.

5. MLM Recruiting Audios/Videos move the senses and imagination.

One of the most powerful reasons why videos and audios work in recruiting for your home busness is because it ENGAGES THE IMAGINATION. Videos and audios can PAINT a POWERFUL picture, and do it with music, actors, scripts, and imagination. Often, mlm recruiting audios and videos can evoke the emotion of HOPE and POSSIBILITY that can MOVE the prospect to curiosity.
 
This will move them to ask questions and want more information. This can move the prospect into the Recruiting Funnel and they can then transform into a customer or distributor.
 
If you are not using recruiting audios or videos, I would suggest you START. Nothing can build your mlm business faster than mlm network marketing recruiting audio and video tools.

MLM Training- Why You MUST Embrace Personal Branding NOW

April 4, 2012 by 15 Comments

 

mlm network marketing

mlm home business

 

MLM Personal Branding.

Are you doing anything to help you in Personal Branding for your mlm home business?

Would you like to discover some Personal Branding Secrets for your work at home business?

Would that help your mlm network marketing business?

You MUST understand the Power of “Connection Marketing” and the Power of Personal Branding today.

 This is so important.

 Used to be that you could set yourself apart just from your product you were selling.

 You know- ding-dong-Avoncalling.

 But those days are gone. Today you must be so much more sophisticated in your approach to your marketing. And you must be aware that you are marketing 2 products:

 1)   WHAT you market to the consumer.

2)   WHO you market to the consumer.

 And there was a time that used to be that the product was more important than the marketer.

THAT has changed.

 ALOT.

 Even mlm recruiting and mlm prospecting have changed as it has become more technology driven, and software driven in many instances. But the secret to powerful recruiting and prospecting still lies within the perception and initial emotion that folks are getting about you and feeling from you.

 Your personality weighs heavily in the mix. Over time, things in direct marketing seemed to have moved from the message – to the messenger. Yes, the message is THE reason you are in business, but the messenger is becoming more and more of what determines the actual business success. Network Marketing is becoming a messenger driven model of Leadership, with the brand of the messenger being the dominant factor.

Today, the marketer is as important if not MORE important than the product.

 Why?

 Good question. With the advent of technology, there now is so much more importance on WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU ARE KNOWN FOR than used to be. Products used to be enough.

Not now.

The concept of Personal Branding has taken a hold and the social media has helped in bringing that to the forefront.

 Your reputation, your image in people’s mind, your emotions that you catalyze when people think of you, and how they perceive you in the marketplace before you get there is your Personal Brand.

 Let’s listen to what my mentor says:

 “There was a time that the product was everything in Network Marketing and that was all you needed. A good, solid product that would do what you said it would do. But then things changed, evolved, and transformed. More and more information became easier to get to – and get to quicker– concerning the products and what they REALLY do. It became available via technology like the fax, voice mail, and then came internet.

 “And because of that, checking people out became easier as well. WHO the person was became valuable information for the consumer if they had any questions. And the old adage consumers buy the person first – THEN the item, is so true. Reputation became ultra important. It was later transformed into what is now called Branding. Branding is a nice word for the reputation and image that you want have in the marketplace. And that has become one of the single biggest marketing factors to hit the scene in years. And there is even an industry birthed from it with ‘branding coaches.’ Things have changed. And that is why the future millionaires in our industry are going to be great at branding themselves and products into the marketplace.

 “When people think of you, there are three things that they will be paying attention to:

 1) What they are FEELING then they think of you.

2) What picture they SEE when they think of you.

3) What past EXERIENCES they have had concerning you- either in person or from a third party source.

 “From these three things, they must FEEL good about who you are and your product, they must SEE you in a very powerful light. Whatever information they have EXPERIENCED about you, heard about you, or read about you, it must impress them to want to know more.

 “In social media, you must brand yourself as an expert, and as someone who has the answers, and knows the questions. Branding yourself on the internet is finding your niche to separate you from the crowd, and then driving that niche deep into the online community through new strategies and tactics.

 “And if you do not know HOW to create a million dollar brand like that, then you need to get the training so you are not left behind. It is so much easier to market and recruit when you are perceived as an expert in your field or niche, then if you are simply seen as a distributor. Developing that brand out in the marketplace makes your prospecting and recruiting so much more powerful and magnetic in nature.”

 If you practice Connection Marketing- you will be surprised at the success you will find in your network marketing home business.

MLM Prospecting Scripts.

MLM Prospecting and Recruiting Scripts are powerful- do YOU use them for your mlm home business?

Are mlm prospecting scripts something that is part of your training in your network marketing business?

Would you like 11 of some of the most powerful MLM prospecting scripts that you can find anywhere?

Some folks say that mlm recruiting scripts do not work, but I have found that if you have a “template” to start, it can make mlm prospecting so much easier.

I used scripts for years- but I actually made them into “Talking Points.”

We have a product that “PowerTalk Scripts” and both PowerTalk 1 and PowerTalk 2 are script books that can rock your world with over 500 scripts to use in ANY situation you face in your home business.

Are MLM prospecting scripts easy to learn? Absolutely and you will find that they are very effective once you become relaxed with them and have practiced.

Here are 11 of some of the most powerful Network Marketing prospecting scripts you will find:

There are 4 words that totally open up possibilities with your prospects- especially the warm market.

1.“I Need your Help.”
These words are “psychological triggers” that trigger our need to help someone.
2. “Maybe You Can Help Me.”
3. “I sure could use a little help with something.”
4. “I Need A Favor From you-do you have a second?
 
Asking someone for their help almost guarantees a positive response:
 
5. “I need your help. I have done something I have always wanted to do- start my own business, and I wanted to share with you how you can help…”
6. “I need your help. I have run across something that I believe would be a good partnership for you and me. Do you have a second?”
7. “I need your help. I have partnered with a company and the company has asked me to do 3 presentations this week, but I need some practice first. If I am going to mess up, I would rather it be in front of you….when do you have 15 minutes I can come by..?”
 
Asking someone’s insight or opinion can be a great magnet for recruiting and prospecting: 
 

9 “I need your insight on something. Do you have a second?”
10. “I wanted to chat with you for a minute about something. Do you know anyone that is suffering from_________? I have run       across something that may be able to help them. It has helped many others .”
11. “I wanted to run something past you, as I believe that you may know some folks that it could possibly help-it has others…
12. “By the way…can I share something with you real quick that may help someone you might know?
 
These mlm prospecting scripts for opening up conversations not only work, but will ROCK your mlm network marketing home business.

Home Business Training- The Power of Local PR for MLM Recruiting

March 31, 2012 by 23 Comments

 

mlm network marketing

mlm home business

 

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 accessible – even 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

MLM Training- The Power of “Breaking the Success Barrier” Script

MLM Success Scripts.

Do you ever struggle with your home business?

Have you ever felt like quitting your network marketing profession?

Does direct selling have it’s moments that you just feel like giving up?

About 4 years ago, we came up with a Success Declaration Script as part of the “Re-Scripting the Mind” Program. We believe that what goes into your mind- good or bad- will come out in your life. I have been a big believer in putting the Good, the Powerful, the Mighty into your mind. And this declaration I believe can help anyone.

Re-Scripting the Mind is a simple thing, but a profound thing. In Network marketing, or direct selling, you must be on your game and focused. But many times…

Our thoughts become our greatest enemy.

This Re-Scripting Declaration will help you start to battle those negative thoughts and input what needs to be inputted and jettison what needs to be removed.

As Earl Nightingale once said, “We become what we think about.”

This Success Declaration I believe will help you put into your mind what you MUST in order to get out of life what you want.

Read this daily, and read it at least 3 times a day.

In Private Coaching, I have suggested the first week to read it once an hour.4

This will help you focus and get your game on with your mlm home based business.

 

Breaking the Success Barrier

My Personal Success Breakthrough is at hand!

Today, I draw a line in the sand. It is my day of total transformation. I have made THE Decision. I will no longer settle for a life of less. My family will no longer settle for a life of less. I no longer will expect less. Our Creator did not put us on this earth to live a life of struggle.

My family deserves the best that life has to offer. So do I. I now know that I have been misled in what I can do with my life. I now know that I have been living a life that I did not have to live. I have decided today that Success and Wealth belong to me.

I now know that struggle is optional. I will struggle no longer. I am worthy of Success and Wealth. Today, the worry and fear STOP. I forgive the people who taught me this life philosophy for they did not know any better. I forgive myself for not believing in me like I should have. Today I see the Truth.

 There is a Millionaire Inside of me, and today, I release that Millionaire from my heart.

 Today- everything changes. God is smiling. I finally get it. It’s my turn, it’s my time, and it’s my life. Today the TRUE me – the one that is UNSTOPPABLE and totally UNDENIABLE- just showed up.

I would suggest that you read this daily for your network marketing home business.

MLM Training-The Psychology of the MLM Telephone Prospect

March 28, 2012 by 9 Comments

MLM Telephone Psychology of the Prospects.

Do you understand the Psychology of the Telephone for your Home Based Business?

How do you view the mlm prospect you are talking on the telephone?

Would having an understanding of the psychology of the mlm telephone prospect help?

Understanding your prospect, no matter if they came from online or offline, is critical. One of the most powerful ways you can understand is from a psychological aspect. This will help you in a lot of ways to better your telephone success.

The Psychology of the PROSPECT.

You prospects are looking for certain things. They are looking for the things we all are. You need to embrace what they are looking for, and then engage that in your future phone calls.
MLM Telephone Prospects appreciate many things. If you understand that, your calls will become more powerful.

What things are they looking for?

1. Genuine Conversation.
2. Genuine Interest in THEIR Interests.
3. Genuine Helping and Transforming Focus.

DO NOT have the focus of “I want something FROM you —  Have the focus of “I have something FOR YOU.”

It is called “The Birthday Gift” state of emotion.

Turn the Telephone into a “Transform-a-phone!”

The Psychology of the PROSPECT on the telephone.

1. Do NOT Pressure.
2. Do NOT talk about anything but them and their dreams and wants.
3. Do NOT make them uncomfortable.
4. DO make them laugh.
5. DO make them totally RELAXED.
6. DO “pour into” them with golden words of encouragement.

Every phone conversation is a “Vial of Gold” that you pour the Gold into the person’s heart

GOLD= Gift Of (a) Larger Destiny.

Your Success Language.

Understand that there is a “Success Language” that you must speak.

We call it “PowerTALK”

It is NOT just the language of your words.
It is NOT just the language of your thoughts/ mind.
It is the Language of the HEART and what they feel.  

“Heart Set- not just mind set.”

Jere is a golden rule for communication:  First people FEEL- THEN they hear.

PowerTALK combines the Mind Language and the Heart language to form — Success Language.

That is a powerful tool for your mlm network marketing home  business for your telephone success!
