5 Tips for MLM Success
February 24th, 2009 | by Chris |In your path to MLM success there are some things that you need to do in order to shorten the time that would take you to get there. First of all you need to understand that not everyone is your prospect and that you need to start screening people that would join your opportunity and advertise where your target prospects are. Many distributors make the mistake to go after everybody and as a consequence lose time and money for nothing or minimal returns.
Second, you need to stir up desire to your prospects when you communicate with them. No matter how much we like to perceive ourselves as logical creatures 90%-95% of our decisions are made at an emotional level. So to be able to generate the right emotions and connecting with people to an emotional level can greatly boost your conversion rates. And of course do not forget the power of the follow up. Most of your prospects need some time and to get exposed several times to your MLM opportunity before they commit themselves.
5 Winning Strategies For MLM Success by Allyn Cutts
1. Find Your Niche
Sure you want everyone to benefit from the opportunity for freedom you have to offer, but face it… not everyone has an interest in extracting themselves from their comfort zone. Successful MLM marketers are willing to step out on a limb, and to change themselves. No, it’s not for everyone.
Who are the people most likely to be ripe for a change? Identify your prospects, and target your marketing strategies toward them. Don’t waste time and energy casting your pearls before the swine. Invest where it counts.
2. Invest In Low Cost Leads
Bigger isn’t always better, though we tend to think so! Small ads, postcards, and other low cost advertising methods are powerful advertising agents. They’re small, too the point and effective… generating a higher than average percentage of inquiries.
Leads are crucial to MLM success. You don’t necessarily have to make the sale with the advertisments. Making contact is just as important. Your advertisement may simply direct them to your Website where you gather the contact information you need.
3. Stir Up Desire
Most people have dreams tucked away deep inside. Many have lain dormant for many years. You never know who it is that will respond to your advertising campaign, but you can be sure that it’ll take an emotional connection to spark them to action.
Emotional advertising is effective because it puts people in the seat of the purchaser, or in this case the MLM marketer. They get to feel the bonuses and freedom of financial success. They can experience the joy of being their own boss, with a few cleverly written words.

4. Call To Action
The best time to encourage a prospect to make a commitment is NOW. Immediate action is they key to claiming the sale or signing up a new member. Think about it… when procrastination takes part in the picture… nothing much gets accomplished. Sure, they’re going to get around to it someday, but usually someday never gets here.
5. Follow UP
What happens when a prospect doesn’t bite the first time you put the bait in front of them? Well, that’s pretty much up to you. They can sit around and eventually forget all about the offer you dangled in front of them. Or… you can keep a line of contact open that constantly reminds them of the opportunity that is just waiting for them to snatch up.
Implement follow ups and you’ll increase your success rate by 50 percent. Check back every month for a while, then every 6 months. A lot can happen in life during a six month period. You never know just what changes might spur them into doing something else with their life… you want to be there for them at that perfect time.

What people are looking for in this economy is a sense of community and a chance to get ahead. I advise my clients and friends to check out network marketing. It is an opportunity that can be very rewarding for those that are willing to work and earn their money. For those that are lazy, it is just an easy way to waste time and money.

You are doing very well Michael to advise people to join an MLM network marketing opportunity especially with how things are going these days in the economy. Unfortunately if they are lazy and don’t work hard enough they would never succeed, but that is common in every business and not in multilevel marketing. It seems that most people don’t appreciate things that don’t cost a lot of money like a network marketing opportunity. They need to spend hundred of thousands of dollars in a franchise to start thinking “I must get serious now and work hard to succeed”.
