MLM lead generation has been a problem since the industry began more than 50 years ago and has challenged even the most savvy network marketer. The good news is that there is certainly no shortage of people looking for ways to earn extra money and start a home-based business through network or multilevel marketing.

How do you find the right people to join your business?

Kevin Pritchett answers the question in a post that he made in the MLMfourm Where Serious Network Marketers Meet. Here is Kevin’s post:

If there’s one question I get asked all the time and I mean ALL THE TIME by my prospects its

“How Do I Find People To Join My Business”

This is probably the one topic I’ve had to ‘DEPROGRAM” more than any other.
From years of prospecting I’ve come to the realization that  all the garbage being taught by most MLM and network marketing “uplines” is  all wrong….DEAD WRONG.

You NEVER want to chase people, try to convince them to come to lame “hotel meetings” or the like….unless you like pain, frustration, failure, losing friends OR of course…unless you’re a freak and just like hotel meeting rooms…just kidding!!!

It’s also dead wrong to think that everybody within “three feet” of you is a prospect for your business…trust me…THEY ARE NOT!!

The effective and fun way to prospect is this….

You want to set up a marketing and lead generation system and have people COME TO YOU!!  You do this first by entering into the conversation people are having in their own minds and offering them REAL VALUE (where have you heard THAT before) no matter what opportunity they are considering.

“Real Value” really means answering the burning question your prospect has namely… “Can this person really help me?”

When you offer real value through a system that automatically:

1. speaks directly to the issues your prospects are concerned about;

2. offers them free valuable information in exchange for their name and email

3. offers them a lead generation system so they can make money up front as well as on an ongoing basis;

4. build a relationship with them by continuing to offer them valuable content and live training where you show them you are the leader your prospects are looking for.

5.  as a result of you offering value and being a leader and building a true relationship with your prospects, …..

THEY APPROACH YOU TO JOIN YOU!!!

My friends….this is how you find people to join your business…

YOU HAVE THEM FIND YOU!!!

Makes  whole lotta  sense when you put it like that doesn’t it???!!!

As Always

Probably you are like me, you have already already watch or used this movie. Many people use the movie to help their prospect see the need for a business. Today, I watched the movie asking myself this question, Why are so many people in network marketing not getting the results they desire? Another question I asked, Am I Pablo or Bruno?

Watch the The Parable of the Pipeline , asking the same question that I asked.

As a network marketer you have the Pipeline but may still be like Bruno when it comes to filling your Pipeline.
What is the missing link?

Finding good prospects is the lifeline of the network marketing industry. By helping people learn what to say and how to find the right prospects, we help struggling distributors.

Mick Carbo, the creator of “Network Marketing Leaders Unite <>Embrace FREEDOM!” group on Facebook does this through a true story .

Enjoy and learn from Mick.

After reading every word of this story you may change your mind about prospecting forever. This is a true story. I know because it is a story about me and a guy I met while simply living my life.

My job carries me all around Maryland and Virginia. I go around measuring people’s houses who are interested in getting ceramic tile installed.

My goal is to talk to 2-4 people a day about my products or business opportunity. That way I can be building my MLM business while I work or while I’m shopping or while I’m doing anything for that matter.

The other day I arrived at a man’s home to do a measure. I took one look at the guy and said to myself, “this guy is probably not a prospect”. He was an older gentleman. Looked to be happily retired.

While I was measuring his bathroom floor I made small talk with him to practice my conversational skills, to build know, like and trust, and just to be nice.

He spoke with an accent so I asked where his family was from. He told me they came to the US from Trinidad…THIS WAS MY OPPORTUNITY.

I told him I had a business partner in Trinidad. Now, I was there to measure his bathroom for a ceramic tile installation so, obviously, he was curious to find out how and why I had a business partner in Trinidad. I gladly told him I had met Alan online, we became friends, then we became partners in my Network Marketing business.

Turns out this 80 year old man (guy didn’t look a day older than 67) was in love with a nutritional line of products sold by a Network Marketing company which he’d been using for the last 10 years. Awesome.

Then he told me a few years back he brought a whole bunch of product back home with him when he went for a visit. The stuff sold out like the people wanted it yesterday, but the company wouldn’t compensate him well enough for his effort to bring the product line into Trinidad.

He said he loves his products, but would like to learn how he could market my company’s products in Trinidad! We’re scheduled to talk again after the holidays when he plans on going back home for a visit.

MORAL OF THE STORY: You NEVER know who you’re talking to. Find a way to introduce your product/s or opportunity to EVERYONE you meet. You might just sponsor your company’s next Space Commander Guru Distributor.

Theuns Serfontein, one of my Facebook friends sent me a very valuable list.  I am posting the list trusting you can use the information to help your contacts understand some of the major benefits enjoyed by someone in the network marketering/MLM business.

Chicago, IL (MMD Newswire) December 3, 2009 — One of the most popular strategies for boosting business wealth and growth, multi-level marketing is leveraged by companies of all sizes and specialties. Commonly known as MLM, this structure relies on a global sales force to increase the branding, exposure, and sales of the parent company’s products. Salespeople (typically referred to as “distributors”) are also rewarded for recruiting new representatives, receiving a commission from all referred sales.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of skeptics out there who have created negative publicity for multi-level marketing. But time and time again, thriving companies have proven MLM to be a viable means of success. Below are just some of the main benefits enjoyed by distributors:

1. Personal rewards. In traditional business scenarios, employees work hard at their jobs only to make other people (bosses, business owners, etc.) more successful. But with MLM, each sales professional has the power to create their own success. Although their hard work contributes to the growth and credibility of the parent business, it also translates to personal profits and fulfillment.

2. Financial stability. Multi-level marketing has the potential to create real, long-term income that sustains itself for many years. In addition to earning their own commissions, distributors also receive monetary rewards from the sales of every distributor they recruit. The beauty of multi-level marketing is that distributors get out of it what they put into it, and have full control over their destinies.

3. Freedom and flexibility. MLM distributors aren’t tied to a desk or cubicle for 8 or more hours a day. They can set their own hours and work from home or any convenient location, allowing them to spend more time with family and do the things they love.

4. Relationship marketing. One of the nicest aspects of multi-level marketing is that it relies on developing and cultivating personal relationships to achieve success. In addition to furthering their own growth and wealth, distributors enjoy the gratification of helping others build their own businesses. Employees are part of a vibrant, high-energy community that’s committed to the success of each of its members.

5. Business support. Although distributors have full control over their own personal success, they also receive ongoing support from the parent company. Multi-level marketing is essentially the best of both worlds, offering the freedom of self-employment coupled with the resources, training, and encouragement of a traditional vocation. Distributors also enjoy camaraderie and team morale with a network of other sales professionals.

6. High-tech strategies. Multi-level marketing allows employees to leverage the power of the Internet to connect with customers, other distributors, and their parent company. Many distributors create their own websites to promote their personal brand and sell more products. The web has truly leveled the playing field, giving salespeople access to global opportunities to achieve unprecedented profits.

Industry Trends / Except Them or Fight Them

This was a post I sent out to the entire SD family but believe it needs to be repeated and not just by me but by EVERYONE. We want SD to always be part of the solution and not be part of the problem with the LOW success rate for people in our industry and these are 5 things that I have been sharing on EVERY phone call I am on!As the TRENDS of thie industry really start to take hold of people there are a few points we have really been making a HUGE dent in.

1. Cross Recruiting is at an all time high! If you are social networking at all 80 to 100% of the people you meet online are already in a primary opportunity. What is YOUR agenda when you meet these people? There are only two choices. Cross Recruit them or offer them something to help them with their current business.

SOLUTION: SponsorDaddy

2. People are looking for SECOND income streams. Well why not give them one with their tool box instead of them looking for one. ANY networker that gets any good will go looking.

SOLUTION: SponsorDaddy

3. People Leave and companies close. No matter what we do people will not always be happy with our opportunity.  Well currently if you spend the time with someone and they decide to leave your DONE…no more income.

Solution: SponsorDaddy

4. Data Base Protection: SponsorDaddy protects your data at all costs. We do not give your data to anyone. You only see the data of the people you personally enroll. SD does not market to your data or lead your members to other programs.

SOLUTION: SponsorDaddy

5. Universal and Generic but CUSTOMIZABLE at the same time. SD’s new custom wrap programs are absolutely taking off !

These are TRENDS that have turned into FACTS. We can either EMBRACE them or FIGHT them.
