Lots of prospects, create lots of presentations daily. Lots of presentations daily create results...results create momentum and ALL LARGE DOWNLINES ARE BULT IN A STATE OF MOMENTUM...

PERIOD...END OF STORY.

All heavy hitters in industry understand this concept. I continually try to communicate to our leaders that you must create more leads than you can possibly handle.

You then funnel those leads through filters. What are filters?

Filters are self-qualifying tools designed for prospects to eliminate themselves from your recruiting funnel. The idea quite simply is to stuff your funnel full of prospects each day and then only communicate with few people that qualify themselves by dropping out of funnel at other end.

What can be used as qualifiers?

Corporate web sites

Send and email to your prospects telling them to visit corporate web site, then email you back after they visit. If you never hear back from them, they have disqualified themselves.

You can also use conference calls, recorded voice mail or sizzle lines, audio cassettes, and list goes on an on. One of very best generic pre-qualifiers I have seen is an online Flash Presentation. Check this site out, & make sure you read testimonies, they are phenomenal!

In todays market place we simply do not have time to CHASE prospects. MLM Professionals understand that they are looking for people that are looking for them! As Jim Rohn says, to be successful in sales or recruiting you must "Talk to lots of people EVERY DAY." The KEY WORDS BEING...EVERYDAY!

The problem with this concept?

Quality lead generation can be VERY EXPENSIVE. If you expect to create an endless flow of qualified prospects, you will have to spend money. Period. There is simply no way around it!

However there IS a way to recapture (and sometimes even profit from) advertising dollars you must spend. It is called "A Funded Proposal". My friend Joe Schroder was on this "Funded Proposal" campaign a few years ago. He is one that actually sold me on concept.

MLM Professionals simply find a way to recoup all or some of their advertising investment on back end or their lead generation programs.

I've thought long and hard about this, and spent a great deal of time researching. This was a tough thing to admit and to confront, but here it is. (I will add comment that these are just my personal opinions and should be taken as such. Other people will have formed their own opinions.)

ALL multi-level marketing is a scam. Every single one of them is a pyramid scheme based upon people at top feeding on people at bottom. If you are lucky enough to be one of few at top of pyramid, you might make a few dollars before (a) police bust you or (b) whole thing collapses.

Oh, I know these groups will all protest that they are somehow different. They have answers. They know how to make money and they just want to share it all with you, for a small fee, of course.

The truth is that these groups require immense amounts of work on your part to even break even. You have to put your heart and soul into them, and even then you are taking a chance.

I knew someone (named Jeff) a few years ago who was involved in Herbalife. It was very strange watching Jeff try and sell program to others (including myself). He believed! It was practically a second religion for him, and he preached about how great it was all of time. He tried to sell me some vitamins by proclaiming how much better than normal they were ... they were special vitamins, with a secret mix of herbs to make them more potent and absorb better into body. He had to justify a huge price markup ... and he preached so well that he even convinced me to buy one bottle. Silly me, they were just vitamins.

But wait, one thing you have to understand about multi-level marketing is you are NOT REALLY SELLING A PRODUCT. That's key to all of these systems. YOU ARE SELLING THE PROGRAM. Your job is to sign up people under you who will sell for you and sign up more people under them.

That is key thing to remember. You do make money from selling products, like any other salesman, but real cash is from getting other people to make money for you. The more you get more you make ... in theory.
