I like to use the Attraction Model of attracting leads to my network marketing business. Attracting network marketing leads to your business has become a lot easier since the introduction of the internet.
The old methods of approaching family and friends as well as occasional acquaintances to take a look at your offer have been the downfall of many distributors who simply "hit a brick wall" when it came to the crunch time of talking to people about their opportunity.
Does this scenario apply to you? You join a company and go through the company training. You're excited about the business and can't wait to tell people about it. Yet, when the excitement has died down this feeling of fear suddenly comes over you as you realize it's now time to put into practice what you've been taught.
You know the opportunity is a good one and you know it is the vehicle to propel you to reach your financial goals BUT...it's network marketing and everyone hates network marketing right? How will you handle the ridicule and rejection when the people close to you discover you've joined one of those pyramid schemes and are now trying to push it onto them?
Targeted Lead Generation
You do not want to prospect people in your circle of influence until you become successful in your business. These are not the network marketing leads you want to be concentrating on. In fact, handling this type of rejection and ridicule is a topic for another article. What we're going to concentrate on is how to attract Multi-level Marketing leads to your business without being laughed off the planet!
The secret is in attracting people who actually want to hear about your offer. In other words, targeted leads. Approaching anyone and everyone is not the way to source leads. It's an unprofessional way to do business and will convey an image of desperation on your part.
The internet has breathed new life into lead generation for the Multi-level Marketing business in such a way that many are building successful downlines simply through targeted leads obtained online.
Now you may be thinking "well, I'll just go and spend several hundred dollars and purchase a few thousand leads from a lead generation company." No, that's a shortcut to going broke. When you do this you don't have control over the type of leads you will receive.
In the main, these are extremely unreliable and who's to know how many times these leads have been used even though they are promoted as fresh and targeted.
How To Source Targeted Leads
The best network marketing leads are the ones you source yourself. How? - By offering people something of value. By setting yourself up as someone who knows what they're talking about. - By building a blog or a website on network marketing and having an optin form to a report of some type which people can download for free. - By promoting yourself to people who are looking for exactly what you have to offer. - By building a relationship with your leads before you even talk to them about your offer. Now, be careful do not go out there and buy a newsletter, downline a whole bunch of ebooks to give away. Do your research there are plenty of companies who offer this type of marketing. Once you find the right company learn from them and when you are ready you can develop your own newsletters, and ebooks to market. If you want to start now start with a blog and try your hand at writing articles.

Attracting Multi-Level Leads vs. traditional method
Friday, March 21, 2008
First Contact With New Prospect
Pay it Forward
One of the most powerful network marketing tips you could ever get is to make a good impression on your prospects from the get go.
Very few network marketers still don't realize that most new recruits will actually be joining them and not their business opportunity. So how you convey your message to any prospect the first time you speak with them will have a big bearing on whether they pursue your offer any further.
The Desperate Marketer vs. Smart Marketer
There is a big difference between being a desperate marketer and a smart marketer. The desperate marketer will place their needs ahead of their prospects from the very first time they speak. A smart marketer will treat the first call as a fact finding mission so they can then tailor a solution for the prospect.
Network Marketing Tip - Initial Phone Conversation
Take this network marketing tip to the bank... when you first speak to any prospect remember, it's all about them. Here are some tips in creating a good impression first up:
- Make a proper introduction. Always ask if this is a good time for them. Once the initial introductions are out of the way then...
- You need to establish the prospects why and desires. What time frame they have set themselves to achieve these.
- Make sure you listen carefully to their responses. Write them down.
- When you ask a question, avoid interrupting the prospect or cutting them off. Remember, it's about them. Before you ask a question, wait until they have finished speaking and then pause briefly before asking your question.
Network Marketing Tip - What Not To Do
As far as network marketing tips are concerned, avoiding a desperate demeanor on the phone is high on the list. For example, many new recruits are so excited about speaking to their first prospect they already have them recruited and placed in their downline before they've even spoken with them.
You should never ask your prospect to join your business because you're in the best company which has the best products, life-changing in fact, and they have the best compensation plan bar none.
Yes, you know this is true but all the prospect will see is a desperate individual trying to sign them up at any cost. In fact, you'll come across as having no interest in their needs, only yours.
This first contact should be limited in time. Your main aim is to understand what's important to the prospect and then leave them with some information to go over before your next appointment. This is one of the best network marketing tips you'll ever hear.
