subject: MLM Sponsoring For Results [print this page] As a network marketer there are only two things that you will get paid for, they are selling products and sponsoring new distributors into your company.
Contrary to what many people believe, it's important to remember that it's not all about your company and products. New folks joining are probably joining because they are wanting to work directly with you and the company may be of little importance in their minds. It's vital that you have positioned yourself in the market place appropriately i.e. as a leader.
I've outlined some tips that may help you in your business...
Don't cosset and pamper your team members -
This is VERY important. Naturally we want our team to be successful, as if they make money so do we, but you don't want to get yourself tied down constantly answering questions. Its surprising how much time and energy it can sap from you constantly taking calls from people who quite frankly can't be bothered to find answers themselves and want a quick fix, I speak from personal experience. Whilst I wanted to help my team succeed I found that my time was being taken away from my number 1 producing activity and that is, sponsoring. I quickly learned that the best way to overcome this problem without fobbing off my team was to do things in a group session, so I began to hold team training webinars on a regular basis. There's no doubt it works, feedback from my team was incredible plus it was far more efficient use of my own time. If you are a smart marketer you will do this for your team also. Take advantage of group trainings.
Delegate tasks to other people
It's often difficult to let go of personal control. If like myself, you want things done properly then it can be tough to delegate. But on the other hand I don't want to be spending time doing the 'dirty work' which someone else could do. The reality is that there are outsource workers from around the world who are crying out for a chance to work for three dollars an hour! In my opinion its best to start using outsourcers as soon as its viable, even from day one of your business if it's possible You are going to be glad of more free time to enjoy life and recruit more people.
Open your mind to learn new skills
It does not matter who they are, but everyone who has been successful in the mlm industry has had a teacher who is more knowledgeable than them. We are all continually learning and you can never have too much education in my opinion. It's a no brainer, if you want to be the top of this industry, you MUST seek out the appropriate training and coaching.
Bring in unlimited leads
Every business will fail without them! Leads. It's a fact that lead poverty is a massive problem for many people in the MLM industry. It's quite likely your upline has taught you the traditional methods of marketing your business, such as cold calling, warm prospecting, friends & family, 3 foot rule etc.... These methods can and do work, but let's face it, there must be a better way surely. Would'nt it be much better if people came to you rather than the other way around? This can be achieved by using a funded proposal marketing system that will automate lead generating and prospecting and produce massive profits and momentum in your business.
