After joining an MLM business, usually its seems like smooth sailing for a few days or weeks. You have plenty of leads--well, you have your family and friends--but those leads won't last forever. When you've run out of your list of leads, what do you do?
There are many,many network marketers out there who have more leads than they know what to do with. They are at a point to where they don't have to look for or buy leads at all--the leads come to them. Now you might be asking yourself how are they able to pull this off? Basically they use a variety of lead-pulling techniques that anyone can use, some of which are actually free.
Here are 7 top lead-generating techniques used by many MLM heavyhitters:
1.Website Content - If you decide to go this route, put up a website that not only has information about your business opportunity and products, but also features content that people searching for like articles,tools ect. Many of the people who end up in network marketing do so by accident. They didn't go searching for an opportunity; one just sort of fell into their lap while they were searching for useful information.
2. Dangle the Carrot - Once you've drawn visitors to your site with free content, get their information so you can follow up. You've already led them this far; you just need to dangle the carrot and lead them a little further. Make sure the information pertains to the content they came searching for. That way, since they wanted to see what your content was, they will also want whatever freebie you have to offer. Note...they have to give you their contact info first--at least their name and email address--in order to get any of the freebies you are offering. And as soon as you have that information, you have leads!
3. Start a Newsletter - The idea of recieving helpful information sent directly to you on a regular basis is a tempting offer for most Internet users. So why not create your own? You don't even have to write all the content. You can ask other authors if you can use their articles, so you don't have to spend all your time on the newsletter. Be sure to include information about your products or opportunities in each issue, but don't display the ads too prominently. Otherwise subscribers will think your newsletter is just one big ad.
4. Buying Your Leads - One of the quickest ways to get leads is to buy leads. Of course, this is also one of the most expensive.Asking other network marketers who use this method would be an excellent way to find out the best lead sources. Make sure the lists you're buying are of people who have truly expressed an interest in getting information. Otherwise, you'll be wasting your money because they will delete your message without bothering to read it.
5. Offer an Email Course - You can turn yourself into an instant MLM expert, as well as promote your opportunity, simply by offering an email course via multiple autoresponders. If you don't feel comfortable writing your own course, find a good copywriter to do it for you. Make sure the course is not just a bunch of sales letters. They have to contain information your prospects really want. Pitch your products or opportunity briefly at the end of each course letter, or mention it occasionally in the body text.
6. Talk About It - Never pass up an opportunity to talk about your business or products. I don't mean talking to people while you're standing in line at the grocery store; you don't want to annoy people. But there are plenty of other ways you can talk about your business. For instance, you could sign up in diffrent online forums and post and give advice to others who are asking and looking for answers to problems they may be facing in their business. From this interaction the subject of your business is bound to come up, but don't force it. Establish yourself as an expert by talking about business and marketing related subjects, and when people find out what you do, they'll automatically be interested.
