How To Generate Responsive MLM Leads 101

So, you have a website open to the public, now what?

Basically your general premise for having a website is simple: to provide prospects with information in order to answer their unanswered or spur of the moment questions relating to your business. Your message to your visitors should express, "this is why you want to do business with our company".

The basic allure of shopping or doing research online is that a prospect will not have to talk to anyone to get the information they are after. It is a fieldtrip so to speak, they can look and not touch, go where they are told and not ask any questions until the end of the tour. Your visitors (like kids on a field trip) are on your site because of some simple curiosity that has led them to your site. You are their tour guide. They expect you to know where you want them to go and show them everything they want to see. Every click from a visitor on your site is an unspoken question looking for an answer. These clicks represent an opportunity for you (the tour guide) to answer it correctly leading your visitors to the light at the end of the tunnel. So, visitors better get what they want as quickly as possible or they'll click their back button and look for another tour guide.

When the usability and content of your website convinces a visitor that your information is valuable to them; they give you something of value in return. They give you their valuable information by becoming a lead.

Let's get one thing straight, it doesn't matter if your website has a simple or complex sales process. The nature of any website in the context of this article is irrelevant as the underlying objective of any website is plain and simple, it is persuasion.

You may or may not have heard of "reverse marketing". So, what is reverse marketing"?

Reverse marketing is a customer centric approach of going backwards in the whole evolution from prospect to lead, lead to customer and customer to repeat customer. In order to go backwards in the process, ask yourself these questions: who, what and how?

Who do I need to convince? What am I convincing my visitors to do?

When the objective of your site is generating leads, you want to convince your visitors to fill in a contact form for more information, register to download a white paper or demo, register for special offers, opt in to a newsletter or e-mail list, or use "email a friend" to forward interesting content on your site to those they know with similar interests.

Now that your target audience has been developed, in this case, business seekers or business opportunity seekers which represent your "who" from above, and you have identified the action you want them to take, which is turn them into a lead. You will now need look at configuring an online experience that incorporates your answer to the third basic question:

How do I most effectively persuade my visitors?

Relevancy = More MLM Leads Conversions

Identify what really matters to your visitors. What motivates them to seek you out? What problems do you solve for them? Identify the benefits and value your products or services offer. Think in reverse (remember reverse marketing), what motivated you to sign up into this business. 8 times out of 10, the reason is the same for the rest of your prospects as it was for you.

You Want Qualified MLM Leads for Your Home Business, not overzealous money seeker leads.

So Hold the Hype and Industry Lingo Unless you're speaking to a targeted group of people, who know your industry inside and out, do not get lost in translation. Your message needs to be clear; it always helps to state your message clearly for the largest audience possible. When speaking in industry lingo, your audience will more than likely think you are not interested in talking to them or persuading them. Create an FAQ or glossary on your site for industry lingo terms you can link to if you must use industry specific lingo. This will deliver your message without delivering your visitors to your competition. Don't worry if you are uneasy about creating ad-copy or writing to capture an un-illusive audience, the marketing materials provided by your upline has been carefully orchestrated to persuade a large audience. Remember reverse marketing, what worked for you will work for your audience too.

Leave out the hype. People buy from people, not from super duper, cutting edge, one of a kind, solve all systems. Because people buy from people, don't brag about yourself or tout how great you are and how much money you've earned. Your visitors are interested in finding out what you can do for them. In the process of finding this out, they will want to know who is speaking to them. Have you ever noticed how authors write a brief biography in the back of their book? You should do the same. However, on a webpage you will want to create an "about me" page where people who are interested can click there to read about your accomplishments. This shouldn't read like a resume, but rather the ever popular interview question, "tell me about yourself.' Talk about where you went to school, where you reside, your family, and what motivates you. Bring yourself to their level and earn their trust by answering their unanswered question of "who will I be dealing with?" Remember, people buy from people, so identifying with your audience is very important. This is enough for now to let you research further.

The next part of this two part series will include information on achieving higher conversion or more MLM Leads, your MLM, Network Marketing and Home Based Business Opportunity.

How MLM Recruiting Can Make You Rich by Shon Christopher

How MLM Recruiting Can Make You Rich
by Shon Christopher

There are several things a person can do to become successful in network marketing, but none compare to the benefits you will receive from MLM recruiting. A majority of your time should be spent on recruiting and building your business because in the end, everyone wants to be rich.

The further you build your business the higher your income is going to be. So how do you go about recruiting and what are the magical secrets to success in multilevel marketing? Let's find out.

The first part to MLM recruiting is believing in yourself and the product that you are promoting. You must believe that your product is the best out there and that it is going to benefit everyone that becomes associated with it. If you promote the product with great knowledge and passion then other people will be curious as to why it is truly as good as you make it out to be. Now you have the person's attention.

Getting people to your website is the key to advertising. Everyone that has internet access has the capability of seeing your information at THEIR convenience. When you're advertising online, always cross-market by advertising your website and phone number. This gives people multiple ways to contact you enhancing your chances of building your network marketing downline.

Communication is a key aspect to how people will perceive the product. With network marketing, you will be recruiting in various ways from telephone, email, letter and more. If you are fumbling with words trying to explain the benefits of the product, people will question your knowledge of the product. You need to know the ins and outs of the product and be prepared for any question that may come up.

Building a personal relationship will help in multilevel marketing. Know that everyone you deal with has a life and hobbies outside of network marketing themselves. If you take the time to get to know them a little better they will begin to trust you more and be more inclined to buy into your product. Ask them about family, hobbies, interests, career goals and more.

Persistency is the key to success in network marketing and will help in the recruiting process.

Be consistent to follow up on every email that you receive to keep the personal relationship in tact. Offer something of value to them such as new ezines of yours that they can subscribe to for free. Keep them interested on an ongoing basis until they finally decide it is worth buying into.
MLM recruiting is all about persistency and consistency. If the person sees your dedication and you take the time to build a relationship, you will build a large downline in no time. If you can show people that they are worth while, then they will be more inclined to listen to you and you will be on your way to a successful MLM recruitment.

Why Did My Prospect Not Join?

Why Did My Prospect Not Join?
by John Patton

Have you ever had a prospect, who you thought was ready to become a member of your team, only to find out they changed their mind or worse yet, joined with someone else? Nothing can be more disheartening than to have a prospect you thought was ready to join your organization turn "cold".

Why did the prospect turn cold?
Simply, you did not understand what motivated your prospect. A good network marketer understands that there are several reasons that motivate prospects. Think back to when you got into the business. What was your motivation? How did that marketer find out what your "hot points" were? We all know that building a rapport is a basic prospecting principle. However, until you master the skills of how to approach and involve your prospect to learn what motivates them, you will continue to have trouble keeping a prospect "hot".

What is the prospects motivation?
It is important to understand when approaching a prospect - "Prospects will make a decision based on their reasons and NOT yours!" Whether it is security, extra income, more free time, business ownership, whatever the need is that motivates your prospects, you will have to uncover what that need is in order for them to do business with you. When talking to a prospect assume nothing, but search for a fit between what the prospect needs and what solution you have to offer.

The simple formula to approaching and involving your prospect is to ask questions, the right questions. Asking questions promotes prospect involvement and you maintain an interest in the presentation. The next thing you need to do is LISTEN to what your prospect says, it is vital! If you do not hear what your prospect said, you will never learn what motivates them. If you are talking more than 20% of the time, you are talking too much and need to start listening more. Once you know your prospects motivation, you will be able to sell your business opportunity by showing them that your product or service meets their need.

Keep your prospect hot!
97% of the internet marketer's in this industry sponsor less than 5 people per month. When your prospect can view you as a credible person, someone they would be comfortable doing business with, you have a good understanding of your products or services, have developed the skills to understand what motivates your prospect and can deliver a solution to their needs. You will be well on your way to keeping the prospect "hot" and becoming part of the 3% who sponsor 5 to 10 people each month.

Trading Minds - Mastering The Art of Persuasion!
Allen Says


Have you ever sat down, closed your eyes and really looked at yourself or your product through another persons eyes?

Have you, in your mind, literally become your customer or your lover and looked hard at yourself or your work through their eyes?

Can you do it?

I hope you can. It is one of the most powerful techniques man has ever used. Ground battles, corporate battles and the hearts of great Women have been won because of it.

When you become your customer, the secrets of how to influence them magically appear. The same thing happens when you trade minds with your wife or husband. Some of the things you see may shock and change you in ways you could not have imagined.

The man or woman who has the power to really look at their work through another persons eyes has an incredible advantage in all business and personal situations. If you find that this ability comes easy to you then by all means really do it. Sit down and do it very deeply and totally and you will be shocked at what you are able to see that you could not see any other way.

Can you look, and I mean really look, at your sales letter through your prospects eyes?

Get good at doing this and you will find 100's of ways to dramatically change both your business and personal life immediately.

Many people only ' think ' they see their product through their prospects eyes. They think that when they are looking at their sales letter or web page that they can do this. But really, they are still looking at their work filtered through their own feelings, attitudes and background. You have to remove ' you ' from the the picture entirely.

This is a deeply serious technique that, for most, require the eyes to be closed to even begin to touch its real power.

And if you think the author has somehow lost his mind, it would do you well to know many, many millionaires and billionaires have confirmed in public and in published writings the incredible power of this strategy and that they have always used it to build their wealth without fail.

I would never think of using a sales letter without first looking at it long and hard through the eyes of an average customer. Never let yourself get too close to your own work.

In order to do this right you have to completely move 'I' out of the way. You must get your own feelings, thoughts and attachments about your work out of the way so you can see it clearly and see it the way other people are seeing it.

When you do that, you will know how to write irresistible ad copy, you will know how to create web sites people instantly understand and buy from, you will know how to make yourself 100 times more attractive to your wife or husband.......and much, much more ....test it and see!

To Your Success!

Today's Thought

"I Don't Have the Money"

Before I give you the language formula for handling the money objection, here's something you need to know: It's never really about the money.If someone doesn't have the money to get into your business, that's the very reason they SHOULD get into your business.

Get it?

The reason the money objection comes up is because you haven't built enough value (benefits) for the money to sound small enough.

The problem, however, is that if you tell all the benefits to your prospects, that will sound like selling and it will simply invite more rejection.

Oh my, what to do?

Here's the language formula for handling all those problems when the money objection comes up (by the way, this is from my "Selling By Attraction" CD Program):

1. Buffer (Diffuse the objection)
2. Easy Exit (Make it easy for your prospect to say no so he'll relax)
3. Isolate (Make sure money is the only issue)
4. Build value (Getting the prospect to TELL YOU the benefits)
5. Close for a presentation (The ultimate goal of any prospecting call)

Real-life example:
Prospect: "I don't have any money to join your business."
You: (Buffer) "No problem. I wouldn't want to create a financial burden for you."
You: (Easy Exit) "My business may not be for you. You get to decide that for yourself."
You: (Isolate) "Is money the only concern you have-I mean, if it wasn't for the money, would you want to own your own business?"
Prospect: "Yeah, sure."
You: (Build value) "Why would you like to have your own business?"
Prospect: (Prospect sells himself by telling you about financial freedom, having more time with family, firing his boss, traveling, etc... that owning his own business could make possible.)

Note: Now the money part will sound smaller because the prospect is thinking "great value" vs "money". That changes his perspective. He becomes more curious and receptive to hearing more.

You: (Close for a presentation) "May I make a suggestion? Why don't we set a time for you to see how my business can help you get all the things you just said were important to you. If you like what you see, perhaps we can discuss some ways to get you started without too much of a financial burden. Would you like to do that?"
Prospect: "Yes."

Note: When you show your program and your prospect gets to see and understand the big picture, the money will most likely not be an issue at all.If it still is, explain how he can put the amount (say $500) on a credit card and make the minimum payment (say $30) until he's making the extra money (say $1,000 a month) he wanted to make.

It's never about the money. It's about desire and commitment.
