subject: Jump Start Your Business With Surveyed Mlm Leads [print this page] Let me be clear, I don't recommend buying MLM leads from lead broker companies since there are many cost-free methods of generating leads that are almost as effective. Yet, I do understand that it is difficult to create that first list. And I also understand the frustration that comes with making cold calls. So, we come to the critical nature of understanding how to attain these essential leads.
Surveyed MLM leads have a higher probability of being converted into downlines due to having gone through an extensive survey containing questions that are related to business opportunities. The simple truth that they have gone through the necessary time to complete the survey proves their enthusiasm for becoming involved in a networking endeavor. Unlike cold leads, these people have been already "warmed up". You simply need to offer them the information in a straightforward manner, and if that opportunity which you are offering them shows enough promise, then the potential client will register and become involved without thinking twice about it.
Look at it like this: you wish to act as a funnel which weeds out the bad leads from the good ones. As a result, you don't have to waste so much time and effort in trying to recruit prospects that just won't budge. Do not forget, time is money. And you'll be doing yourself a big favor if you focus on leads that are far more receptive to what you have to say. This will give you more time to focus on building a relationship with your targeted leads and downlines.
Here follow some things which a lead firm will attempt to vend to you that you must stay away from unless you appreciate the opportunity to lose money. Why? Because you are capable of learning the means to obtain such leads by yourself for an insignificant amount of money:
1. Double Opt-In Leads
A few potential people could have filled out the survey simply because they are only curious, or they could have not correctly understood the point behind what it is that they were doing. To "weed out" these people from the pack, lead companies use a 2nd "opt-in" lead capture form to narrow the list down to those who are serious about starting an MLM career. Honest firms simply vend the last version of this list to make sure it is high quality. Make sure that you are only buying double opt-in leads.
2. Fresh Leads
A good lead company sells leads not later than 48 hours from the time they filled up the forms. The age old adage to "strike while the iron is hot" proves that you will garner a better response from those leads who have not given up interest by the time that you finally contact them.
3. Exclusivity of the Leads
You must ensure that the firm vending you the leads has not double sold the leads to a competitor. If they do, they are only giving you "damaged goods" and you'll end up trying to recruit people that are already affiliated with another MLM opportunity or are not interested anymore due to a bad experience with a previous upline.
After you have collected your own main group of MLM surveyed leads, it is up to you to be a good mentor to them and offer them useful solutions for their needs.
