Tips For Network Marketing Leads Generation

There’s so much confusion regarding network marketing leads generation. The biggest question that must be answered in your network marketing business is, “Who do I talk to?” Yet, why is it that probably close to 95% – 99% of all MLM reps struggle with finding new people to talk to about their businesses?

Let me state up front that it doesn’t need to be this way. There are specific methods and strategies that you can take advantage of to ensure that you have a constant flow of quality leads and prospects for your network marketing opportunity.

While there are many ways to attract network marketing leads, some methods are more effective than others. For decades, the only way taught by most MLM companies was what we call the “warm market” techniques.

Today, though, the Internet has completely changed how the network marketing game is played. Let’s discuss your warm market first…

Your Warm Market

Many people have built successful network marketing organizations through their warm markets.

Generally, when you start with an MLM company, your upline sits you down and asks you to come up with a list of family, friends and associates. The idea is to contact these people either over the phone, through email or through letters in the mail. The idea also is that some of these people will join your business because you have credibility with them.

Now, this is where the breakdown occurs for the average person. SOME people, such as doctors, attorneys, real estate agents, salespeople, etc have large and wonderful lists of people who look at them with a sense of credibility. Many others, though, don’t have this credibility with their warm market contacts.

So, what happens when this method is used for network marketing leads generation? For the majority of folks, four things can happen:

Some people join and build with you
Your family and friends have heard negative things about MLM and “throw up all over you” (destroying your belief that you can do this)
Your family and friends are supportive but simply have no interest in MLM
Your family and friends are supportive but simply don’t see you as a leader in business

Most network marketing leaders don’t want to admit this, but that’s really the truth about how it works.

When you struggle with the above results, what does your upline tell you to do in order to solve your network marketing leads generation issues? They tell you to do things like ask those people who said no for referrals…now that’s great…let’s ask the people who think I’m dumb to do this in the first place recommend people they know so I can go out and, in their eyes, “bug” them.

That doesn’t work, so next your upline says to go out to the mall or supermarket and use the 3 foot rule…anyone within 3 feet of you is “game”…tell them all about your business.

Now, let me stop and say that I’m not saying the warm market doesn’t work! It does work for many people. The above methods work wonderfully for those people who have credibility OR are mentally ready to handle the rejection and move forward anyway.

In fact, people in my own downline are building huge businesses in their warm markets.

All I’m saying is that I went out and looked for a better way for those people without quality warm markets…and, in my opinion, FOUND IT!

Internet Marketing for Network Marketing Leads Generation

Did you realize that most of us joined network marketing because we all believe in the power of LEVERAGE? How come, then, when it comes to prospecting for prospects we’re taught methods that remove all the power of leverage?

What if, instead of prospecting to one person at a time, you could prospect to hundreds or thousands of people all at once? And, what if you could target the proper people already interested in building businesses and filter out the ones that don’t believe in MLM and think (in error) that it’s all a pyramid scheme?

Well, that’s all possible when you learn the proper way to use the Internet to do this prospecting.

When using the Internet for network marketing leads generation, a shift in thinking must take place in you. All of your company’s training is based on how to promote the company and its opportunity. It’s different online.

Online, rather than posting about how great of an opportunity you have, you must instead “lead” with YOU. The key here is to brand yourself first as a leader, someone your prospects can learn from. Once you’ve done this and are building a relationship person-to-person, you can then discuss your MLM opportunity…on the “backend”.

This is why many network marketing uplines are fearful when it comes to getting their downlines going online. They fear that you’ll lose focus on the company as you’re branding yourself. What they don’t realize is that if you’re taught to brand yourself, you’ll become more empowered, trusted by your prospects, and end up recruiting a huge downline.

AND, you’ll have built a never ending flow of prospects and leads that not only help you build but also provide you network marketing leads generation that you can actually give to your downline and make life easier for them.

At this point, you may be thinking…

But, How Can I Be A Leader If I Haven’t Made Any Money Yet?

Let me tell you something I’ve discovered in my own marketing efforts…LEADERSHIP is the most needed thing on the planet today.

Leadership has nothing to do, though, with the size of your bank account, lead flow or monthly residual check.

It’s all about value. How much value can you provide others? That’s it! If another person can see that you can teach them network marketing leads generation techniques that actually work, they’ll join your MLM business and follow you…END OF STORY.

Your task is to learn all you can about Internet marketing. Now, understand that there are specific techniques that work well with network marketing when it comes to using article or video marketing, pay-per-click advertising, forum marketing, social media marketing, etc.

This is why I personally sought after a system that could easily teach me these methods and then make it easy to pass this knowledge on to my own downline. I encourage you to use an actual marketing system that will not only teach you all this through extensive and massive training, but also teach your downline the same (so you don’t have to!)…as well as provide you other streams of income in the process.

I hope this info has been helpful to you and I invite you to investigate the actual marketing system I use that has revolutionized my own success when it comes to network marketing leads generation.
