The biggest challenge for most any MLM home based business has nothing to do with selling its products. The chief hurdle a MLM home based business usually faces involves building a successful downline. Just how do you find recruits who are genuinely interested in becoming part of your MLM home based business sales team?Well, before you rush out and start trying to generate leads for your MLM home based business, you need to have a plan. It isn’t enough to tell people about your MLM home based business and its products and expect them to sign up. You need to know as much as you possibly can about your MLM distributor,
products, and compensation plan so that you can answer any questions a MLM lead may have.
The more you know and more comfortable with it you are, easier it is to make people want to become part of your MLM home based business. Not knowing answers to their questions or giving vague answers is more likely to make any MLM leads you do generate mistrustful of you and your MLM home based business. And be sure to have a follow-up plan for what you’ll do after you’ve generated some leads and started making contacts because it generally takes several contacts before people take action of any kind, whether buying a product or signing up for a MLM home based business opportunity.
Once you know your MLM home based business inside and out, you’re ready to start generating those MLM leads. One of first places to look, of course, is to your friends and personal acquaintances. Make a list of everyone you know. You’ll likely be surprised by how long that list is, and people you know are a good place to start looking for MLM recruits. A lot of time, even if your friends and acquaintances aren’t interested in a MLM business themselves, they can give you names of people they know who will be interested in your MLM home based business opportunity. And if they don’t volunteer any names, don’t hesitate to ask them, politely of course, for names of people you can contact.
Another thing you should do to generate MLM leads for your home based business is start collecting. Business cards. Email addresses. Phone numbers. You never know who may or may not be interested in an MLM home based business of their own—and you won’t know unless you contact them and ask. Again, person you contact may not be interested in a MLM home based business himself, but more often than not, person will know someone else who is. Cold-calling isn’t necessarily easy when you first start doing it, but as you gain experience, you’ll get more comfortable and confident, and that confidence will ultimately pay off. Just be prepared to hear no and don’t take it personally.
