I’ve spent a lot of time talking about the mindset of success through example, real life experience, and case study example. Now I want to shift gears and talk about something a little bit more technical:

What to do after you generate a prospect that could potentially become a valued member of your team.

There are a few key principles that I’ve used over the past few years that I think will both shed light on what to do and focus your energies on the activities that garner the most bang for your buck.

So you get the lead… Now what?

Well to begin, the most important factor to consider is where you got the lead. Did you generate it yourself or did you purchase it? If you didn’t generate it yourself you need to move yourself into a situation where you are as soon as possible. The one biggest change that allowed me to go from super sucking at recruiting to doing it effortlessly is taking control of my own lead generation. You eliminate the competition, instantly increase the quality of the lead dramatically, and you reduce your lead cost substantially. It’s the biggest win situation you can put yourself in.

Next…

I learned the art of focused attention. Once I got good at the getting of leads I made that my priority which was in direct opposition to what I was originally taught. I was told to run through my leads list and set appointment after appointment. Only problem was I burned through weeks at a time doing this and had no results from the effort whatsoever. So, I decided to focus my attention on the getting of leads as opposed to the following up multiple time with the same leads and for it my business began to flourish. Why? Action oriented people like you and I see an opportunity and take action. No need for hand holding a person through a decision. The right ones take action now instead of deferring until next week and then next month and then never. The name of the game is to find as many action oriented prospects as possible. This is done through selectively focusing your time and efforts on the getting of new leads.

Once the leads come into your follow up system the next important point here is to know that the more personal you are the higher the chances of a successful transaction. Of course you should use automation like auto responders, but still make an effort to follow up with your leads once with personal touch. Maybe it’s by email or maybe it’s by phone. It’s up to you, just know that the more personal the interaction the more trust that is created, and the more trust that is created the higher the likelihood your prospect is going to take action to get on board your ship to success.

In that contact a few important things must be stressed.

Be personal. One thing I’ve coached people on over the last couple years is to be more personal in their interactions. Let your leads in on who you are, where you come from, what you do, why you love your company, etc. Why? It’s compelling and it’s personal. It gets their attention and starts a new relationship with those who are receptive to you.

So never think what you have to say isn’t important or valuable at this point – say it.

Finally, one thing I’ve always recommended and do to this day is I think every good internet network marketer should have a blog. Why? We live in a voyeuristic world. Look at the reality TV going on – we like to see how others live, and if you give your prospects a window into your life in the form of a personal blog where you share your thoughts and emotions it goes a long long way. It becomes a powerful testimonial. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve had view my blog and then in a personal interaction bring up something I posted on it 5 months ago. What this tells you is – they do investigate. And that’s GOOD for you! It lets them get to know you without you even being there and functions on a powerful principle few know or speak about called “The Power Of Documentation”.

Which states – that which we read we receive mentally as more true so than that which we hear… (It seeps past people’s radar)

What I mean is, it’s a totally different and more powerful experience for your prospects to proactively read your blog and find out about you on their own than it is for them to do so in a conversation, so you want to make sure you use this principle to your advantage in the form of a personal blog.

Another HUGE reason to blog is you get traffic just for putting information out there. I was shocked to see that a blog I used in the same fashion I’m describing to you now got over 300 visitors a day to it on autopilot. Thinking back I did get a lot of calls in the middle of the night asking about my business that I couldn’t quite track where these people were coming from. It was them finding my blog doing a Google search or something like that, reading and getting interested, seeing my number and calling me. So if you put your number out there they will pick up the phone and call you. I guarantee it. Now this won’t happen overnight, but it will with consistent blogging, and as I said before traffic is the icing on the cake. You’re not blogging for traffic as an end. You’re blogging to create a powerful testimonial for you and your business to send your prospects too after you’ve generated the lead.

The last thing about a blog is this…

Once you put it out there it’s there forever. My first blog I ever started is still highly ranked in Google and gets traffic every day. Again I did nothing to get this traffic except put stuff on my blog and so the same will happen for you.

So to summarize…

After you generate a lead make sure your focus remains on getting more, and DO make the attempt to follow up personally on some level with your leads and in that conversation mention your blog. Allow your prospects to see the “you” online. They’ll get to know you, feel informed about you and your business, and your closing rate will go up.

PS: Even if you’ve never started a blog, you can still use the power of the Internet to get leads and get them into your business.  Watch this presentation on the ONLY “government approved” system to make money on Facebook and see what you’re missing… and then JOIN US!

If you are involved with an MLM business, then you are probably searching for the best MLM leads because this is the life of your business. To put it in a more practical light, the more leads you can get, the higher the amount of money you can make from an MLM business opportunity. There are more details below about what systems or approaches you can use to obtain the highest quality leads you can get.

The Quest for the Best MLM Leads

As mentioned above, the leads list is the life of an MLM business. Without leads, you cannot make sales. If you cannot make sales, your business is a failure and you are not producing income from it. However, experts emphasize that you must not focus solely on producing as many leads as you can, but rather opt for quality leads that increase your chances of succeeding in your business through a reliable lead generation system.

Quantity Approach

One of the biggest obstacle that internet marketers face in their quest to obtain quality or the best MLM leads is the “quantity approach” when it comes to lead generation. Some people who lacked proper knowledge with proper lead generation would tell you that you need to gather as many leads as possible.

However, quantity does not equate to quality. You need to value the latter instead of merely increasing the amount of names included in your list. Leads generation is not a numbers game but you need to gather names that will be most likely to do business with your company in the future.

Why Buying Leads is NOT a Good Idea

One of the most important tip that newbie internet marketers need to know when gathering list is to never fall into the trap of buying leads. Intuition might tell you that leads you have bought might be considered as the best MLM leads since they are vetted, however it is quite the contrary. Any marketing expert will tell you that paying for leads will only cause you to lose money since you do not have guarantee of where the names are gathered and whether they’d have anything to do with your business.

Using More Than One System

Since buying leads is a major no-no in network marketing lead generation, you need to learn how to generate your own! There are several systems around for lead generation, most of which can be gathered for free. You can use blogging, post in forums, do social networking ñ there are so many paths you can take, so practice your liberty to choose a system that works best for you! You can even use more than one system at one time to boost the number of leads, while ensuring that they are of good quality.

Making the Most of Your Leads

Let’s say you’ve gathered the best MLM leads for your business, what do you do next? The answer to that question is of utmost importance. No matter how good those lists are, it is what you do with those leads that truly matter and determine your business’ success. Your ability to convert will therefore make your previous effort of generating leads worth it!

PS: If you don’t think a system is what you need to be successful in this business, I’d LOVE to show you a system that is converting higher than other system in network marketing and launching new people into success EACH AND EVERY DAY! Watch this presentation on the ONLY “government approved” system to make money on Facebook and see what you’re missing… and then JOIN US!

As someone in MLM, there are going to be a lot of times when you’re talking to people about your business that you’re going to hear this simple little question….

“How much are YOU making?”

If you haven’t heard that question yet in some shape or form, you’re just flat not talking to enough people!  Someone is going to ask you that question, more than likely a LOT of someones are going to ask you that.  I truly believe that the heart of that question is not how much are making or can make, it’s about the person asking the question wanting to know how much THEY can make if they get started with you!

See, any time you are presenting an opportunity to someone, they still want to know what’s in it for them.  This has always been true and always will be true.  You can be having all kinds of success, making thousands of dollars a month, driving a new car, living in your dream home, but if your prospect doesn’t feel like they can make any money doing what you’re doing…

They won’t do it.  They won’t even think about it.  You’ll never get them to join, you’ll never get them to do anything with your business.

Your job is to present them with an opportunity in such a way that they BELIEVE that they can be successful at this business, that it will work for them.  They need to know that there is a system they can use, just like you did, to bring other people into the business. That’s why we talk a lot about things that can duplicate.  If you’re doing something that the person you’re talking to doesn’t believe that they can do themselves, they won’t do it!

That’s why you need to keep everything as simple as you possibly can in your business so that your prospects can see what you’re doing and KNOW that they can follow the exact same process that you have.  This, along with their own work ethic, will determine how much money they can make in MLM.

So, how much money can you make?  The simple answer to that question is: as much as you want to.  If you’ve got the drive to do it, you can make 6-figures a month in this business.  And yes, there are people that make 7-figures a month.

Your income is COMPLETELY based on how much effort you put forth, not on the size of your network when you start, not how much money or education you have, not who your friends are and certainly not if anyone around you believes you can do it.  YOU are solely responsible for how much you make in MLM.

It’s up to you, so get out there and DO IT!

With the state of our economy and with more people looking for a way to either make ends meet or to replace their income entirely, a lot of people are looking into the Internet as a way to start a business to make some extra income.  And it’s no surprise why, you see a lot of late night infomercials that talk about how to make money on the Internet or to make money from home, along with about a gazillion ads online that promise the same thing.

And there have been plenty of people that have been able to turn their lives around after starting an Internet business.  But there’s a few things that they all have in common that you need to pay attention to if you want to enjoy the same kind of success that these leaders have.

First, though, let me say that if you have the desire and the drive, you WILL be successful in any venture that you start.  BUT…. if you want to really get results faster than you ever dreamed, you really should be using the Internet to build your business!

So, what things do you need to know when you’re starting an Internet business?  Here’s 3 things…

Tip #1 – Make a commitment to succeed.  I can’t tell you how important this first step is.  Most of your success in any business is determined by how dedicated you are to pushing through until you’ve reached your goals.  This isn’t something that’s going to happen overnight, it will take time.  If you’re not willing to work for AT LEAST the next 12 months on your new business like your life depended on it, just stop now.  There will be times you want to give up, but you can’t.  Set your mind on success from the beginning and refuse to accept anything less than living your dream life.

Tip #2 – Make sure you are building a business that creates residual income.  I see a lot of people that start an Internet business that is built around selling something one time or around huge “product launches”.  The problem with this model is that you have to constantly be creating new items or a new launch.  Even with affiliate marketing, which is a great model for beginners, often doesn’t create a “walk away” residual income.  Focus on a business that will pay you over and over again for work that you do one time.  Which business is best for this?  In my opinion, there’s no better option around than network marketing.  It’s a proven business (over $100 billion a year in sales industry wide) and it leverages the work you do one time for many years to come.

Tip #3 – Follow a proven system and stick to it.  I’ve been online for several years now and I see so many people get hung up on systems.  The reason for that is that it seems like there is a new system that someone says is the next big thing and will make you millions of dollars.  People are easily distracted, especially when it comes to making money.  So they skip from program to program and business to business, looking for the path to success.  All the while, other people are following a simple system that others have used to make 5-figures a month (or more) and they teach other people how to do the same thing.  Wouldn’t you rather be able to follow a proven system that is easy for anyone to follow and WILL start building your business?  I know I would, and that’s exactly what I and a bunch of my friends have decided to do.

I could spend a lot more time going over what you need to know if you’re starting an Internet business, but I’d rather let you get started on your own journey.  I talked about a system that you can use to build a business and now I’d like to invite you to take a look at that system.  This system is more than just a marketing plan, it also wraps in a community of partners that will be there to help you and guide you along the way, plus the absolute best training available for starting an internet business in the world.

I want you to go right now and watch this FREE presentation on this “government approved” system that will show you how to make money on Facebook and start building your internet business TODAY!

Do you really want to build a money making home business?  Are you sure about that?

Have you made the commitment to yourself and to your family that you’re going to do everything it takes to make this business successful, no matter how tired you are or how frustrated you get?  Have you finally gotten sick and tired of being sick and tired and you’re ready to change your life forever?

If you’re here reading this, I KNOW that you are!  And I know that you are looking for some tips that can help you along the way so that you can grow your business as quickly as possible.  I also know that you, like me, are starting out building your business part-time and you don’t have a lot of time to waste with a bunch of fluff.

You want some actionable tips that you can start using NOW to make a difference in your home business, and that’s what I’ve got for you today.

If you want to build a money making home business, here are 5 things that you absolutely MUST do in order to be successful…

Thing #1 – Discover your “why”.  When I was starting out, I really thought that I wanted to get into this business for the money.  I can tell you that if that is your reason, you will lose interest very quickly.  Find your “why” and make sure that it is something that will motivate you more than money.  Your “why” has to be big, incredibly big.  You’re going to need to know why you’re doing this business when you’ve talked to 50 people and NONE of them has taken a look at your business.  You’ll have many long days and nights and you need to know why you’re doing this.  All I have to do is turn around from my desk and see the crib that will soon be holding my baby girl and I’m very quickly reminded of my “why”.  Find yours and use that motivation to get going.

Thing #2 – Spend time each day in personal development.  Even if you’re starting out part-time, you’ve got to spend some time each day in personal development.  If you’ve been working for a wage for many years, there’s a lot of crap in your head you have to get out before you’re really going to achieve success.  Read some personal development books or listen to CDs or audio recordings.  Spend a little time each day building yourself, even if its only 15 minutes.  The payoff will be huge!

Thing #3 – Commit to work you business like a business.  If you’re going to have a business, it has to be treated like a business.  You have to work it every day just like you do with your current full-time job.  No calling in sick, no taking the day off because you just don’t feel like working.  That’s not a business, that’s a hobby, and hobbies don’t make you any money.  Get to work!

Thing #4 – Follow a proven system.  One of the worst things someone can do when they’re starting out is to not follow a system that works.  You may have some idea in your head about how to get things done, but you don’t.  There are a lot of people that have already build a money making home business and you need to follow that path that they’ve laid before you.  You don’t have to go and reinvent the wheel, just use a system that works.  If you don’t have a system or the one you’re using now SUCKS, take a look at this simple system that converts higher than anything else I’ve seen and will grow your business quicker that you thought possible.

Thing #5 – Don’t give up.  I saved the best for last.  Things will be tough when you’re getting started.  It may be a little while before you start seeing results, but that’s OK.  Remember, you’ve got your “why” to keep you going when you don’t feel like it.  Don’t give up, your time is coming and it’s coming soon.  Never give up, never surrender!

I could spend a lot more time on each one of these points, but right now I want you to stop reading this and go DO SOMETHING that will grow your business!  My first suggestion would be that if you’re really serious about building a money making home business that you take a look at this presentation my team has put together that is built right into Facebook.  It converts higher than any other presentation I’ve seen and is completely automated, giving you more time to build your business and speak with your leads instead of worrying about a bunch of technobabble!  Check out this presentation right here!
