There are a ton of ways to go. But, the best way that I’ve found is by giving your prospects something of value first. And this can be done by giving away ebooks or email reports.

Instead of asking them to join your opportunity, educate them. Tell them some of the ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts of network marketing. Help them incorporate a business name, for the tax savings. Here’s a great one, give them a phone script and rebuttals to common statements their prospects will make.

All of this can be done with ebooks or email reports.

Ask you upline, or someone in the industry, if they have a 5-7 page report on something that any MLM’er would be interested. Once you have it, post an ad on Craigslist, offering a … Free Report On How To Create An Effective Phone Script For YOUR MLM opportunity.

In order to get this report, have your prospect reply to your Craigslist ad. Once they reply, attach your ebook and send it to them … with YOUR contact information (name, phone number, etc.) Tell them if they have any questions, be sure to contact you.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the number of people calling YOU, wanting to know what company you work with. The reason they’ll want to know is because if you’re that helpful to a total stranger, imagine how help you’d be when they join your downline/team!

You might call this Blackbelt Recruting!

Hope this helps.

I have recently been contracted to become a marketing arm for an unsecured debt elimination program that is not only legal and ethical but the system has been upheld by the Alabama Supreme Court. It’s very simple to do if you know how and my contractor is not divulging any of his proprietary secrets. My plan is to sell a membership to one person in every city in the US for their use as an exclusive territory. They will advertise locally at their own expense, or advertise on the many free ad sites on the Internet. The leads will call them, they will discuss the program, collect their paperwork and fees and FedEx the package to me. Once everything is in place we pay them a 25% commission ($625-$1250 per sale) until they do $250,000 in Revenue. Then they’ll increase to 30% ($875-$1500 per sale). Basically they do the legwork, we do the grunt work and they make an outstanding commission. So if they made 1 sale per week they would make over $32K per year, but if they make 3 sales a week, they’re now into a 6 figure income.

Membership fees are nominal, but they are population based. The cost for the membership will be $500 per 1M people according to the latest census. They can buy more than 1 territory. We will not advertise for customers or compete with them in their territories. Even though we are building a network of direct sales professionals this is NOT Network Marketing. This is NOT MLM in any way, shape or form and our system is only available in the USA.

There are basically 300 cities in the US that I want to sell a membership in. My question to the group is this; most of the online sources such as Craigslist, Backpage or Kijiji will only allow you to advertise for free in one city. Without actually taking out an expensive ad in 300 local newspapers around the country, what would be the fastest, easiest and least expensive way to get the word out to as many people as possible who may want to take advantage of this opportunity?

I have a website ready to go up, but I’m having a problem figuring out how to set up and acquire the squeeze page information into a database. I’ve talked with InfusionSoft about their CRM software, but it’s over $7k to start up, and $400 a month. That’s expensive for a start-up. Not to mention it kills my entire marketing budget.

Any suggestions for either problem would be very much appreciated?

Thanks for your help

This a Offer Not A Question !!!

somebody’s recruiting me to be a distributor. i don’t know if it’s just one of those mlm around.

My friend is a "distributor" of GNLD products. It is a legitimate business, and if you work it right, it can be profitable! But, it is like others out there, that are "pyramid" types and such. The products are great products, so at least you are looking at a legit product and legit business.

I want to become a police officer, how should i go about this and could you suggest possible courses that would increase my chances in the selection process?

I live in the UK and I am aware of the policecouldyou website but unfortunately the merseyside police are not recruiting at present. Is there anything else you could suggest or possible things that could make me more appealing during the application process ie. am debating whether or not to do a first aid course.

I also have a black belt in kung fu that i got when I was younger and spent 2 years in the air cadets do you think this will help me at all?

Thank you for your replys it is greatly apprieciated

lie cheat steal and assult poeple,you get straight in

What is the best methods for generating quality prospects to get involved with my network marketing business.

Showing your rack usually gets people’s attention.

Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a business model that combines direct marketing with franchising.

Multi-level marketing businesses function by recruiting salespeople (also called Distributors, Independent Business Owners, IBOs, Franchise Owners, Sales Consultants, Beauty Consultants, Consultants, etc.) to sell a product and offer additional sales commissions based on the sales of people recruited into their downline, an organization of people that includes direct recruits, recruits’ recruits, etc. This arrangement is similar to franchise arrangements where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager, but in some MLM programs, there can be seven or more levels of people receiving royalties from one person’s sales.

I generally don’t like multi-level marketing, but it certainly can work for some people.

As noted, one huge issue is that for "bottom-line" people, your commissions are essentially split with 3 to 7 other people (your "uplines"). In addition, most MLM companies sell products at premium prices, and provide narrow margins of 20% to 40% to their consultants; the same kind of product may offer a 50% to 80% margin for regular retailers.

Many of these programs have continuing "purchase requirements" to maintain status as a consultant, and commissions may be forfeited completely if these are not met.

Before "buying into" an MLM scheme OR starting any kind of business, prepare a "business plan" and show it to some friends who have run businesses. Ask if your projections for expenses and income seem reasonable, and whether you are "missing" some issues or problems that might arise.

I hear from some trainers that say calling leads is best way to build your business others say its its outdated and there are more effective ways to market. what do you think . If you are successful how do you promote your business. . I believe that success is based on how well you present your product or service and market it not on the product or service itself and also if the person you are promoting to can see an effective way to market and present what you have to offer.

To be honest this would very much depend upon what business you are running. There are no rules of business at all. You’ve got a job to do, and it’s important to figure out how to do it on a task-by-task basis. The basic goal of businesses is to help customers. How do you help people? Is a phone helpful intrinsically, or is it counterproductive. It all depends upon what you’re doing, and how you do it.

Yahoo for example don’t ever call people. Nor do google. The telephone in today’s world is but one of the communications media available to you. I have personally banned phones for my work, I work via email, and set up a face-to-face meeting if we really need to thrash things out. The phone is a massive interruption, and a waste of time, and breaks my concentration.

Sometimes face to face isn’t practical. Email is seriously useful. I also use IM or videoconference a lot where it’s international, say if I need to conference with New York, London and Hong Kong.

The problem with the phone is that it requires people to devote their attention to you *right now* in real time, but yet the phone is a pretty useless visual communications medium. Maps won’t go down phones, nor will pictures. That is not ideal, really. Phones are often a counterproductive waste of time in the 21st century, we’ve got a multimedia data network.

Some people really like phones though, everybody has one, and knows how to use it. People will tell you whether they want you to call them if you ask them. It’s really important to find out how people want to communicate with you, but I definitely try to get them away from the phone and onto something with more features.

What’s important about the quality of the telephone is the interactive human contact, things like bulk mail-outs and advertising really fall into the category of spam, it’s just not helpful to people to be pushed something which they have to work to find what applies to their needs. They need to feel attended to on a personal level, to be understood.

What sucks about the phone is that it’s demanding, real-time. This is inconvenient. It also sucks that the phone only does poor quality audio into one ear, and the ringing alert is obnoxious. What is also utterly sucking about the phone is that it has no memory, you can’t go back over the discussion and learn or recall anything unless you record it or make notes.

The internet is basically a better telephone, the first electronic computer built by the UK government in 1942 to crack Nazi codes was in actual fact a modified telephone exchange. It was called colossus. They added important features: mathematical logic, and memory.

A computer in itself is a form of enhanced telephone network, and it uses a system of binary blips like the precursor to the telephone, the telegraph, morse code. Encoding makes it much less subject to quality degradation, and you can in theory encode whatever you want into a binary signal, it doesn’t have to be sound. It can remember things for later, it can transcode things (from binary into a picture, or a movie, 3D model, or a whatever), and it can even perform logical decision making. All of this makes it better than a telephone. Even SMS is cooler than a voice call if you ask me. On the rare occasions where I do use a voice call, I put it through the computer so I have my hands free to get on with my stuff, and keep notes. I can also record the conversation, which is handy.

The interesting thing about memory and logic is that this facilitates searching, people can go through various data pools and find what they need, so the whole thing is driven by the needs of the customer. It’s much better that way, more like a street of shops. Wander into a domain, and interact, but only if you want to. Look around and browse, window shop. Saves everybody a lot of hassle.

Is it effort or design?

All pay plans require a substantial amount of recruits/customers to make a significant amount of income.

Occasionally some new recruits are so talented and aggressive they do build a modest downline network below them. They are anomalies because mathematics require that the system can only support a small number of financial winners. If a thousand downliners are needed for a distributor to earn a respectable profit from this system, those thousand will need one million more to similarly support them and that one million will, accordingly, need one billion!

So many participants justify the failures as lack of effort. Mathematics show that if "efforts" were maximized the business would collapse through exponential growth.

Does this not show failure by design?

The one thing you’re not taking into account is the marketing system. I know if I had to do things the old way like many MLM’s do, doing door to door sales, in home demo parties, cold calls, carrying inventory,etc etc I would not thrive. Gas prices are too high, packaging changes and then my inventory is not worth as much, people hate door to door salesmen and telephone solicitors….no thanks. If you have a great marketing system, you have a great chance at success.

The second thing, equally important, is the training and "on going support". Most provide training but not many provide ongoing support! There’s nothing worse than being trained and then thrown to the wolves.

Lastly, if you don’t have a great "team" that helps each other instead of trying to cut each others throat, you’re doomed for the 3rd time over.

All of these thing are only some of the major reasons why people fail at MLM’s. There’s lots more but I know more about what makes a goo MLM work and that’s in my profile if you’re interested.
