Have you ever lost information for a follow-up on an MLM prospect? Or maybe you are like I was with sticky notes all over your desk, piles of papers and reminders to keep track of your prospects.

I tried the card box system, the binder with tabs, the sticky notes. Nothing really worked until I had enough and decided to create my own system.

You see, I had information all over the place. Notes of my calls, emails sent, replies from emails, etc. How could I keep track of everything to do proper follow-up?

I decided to create an Excel document that would keep track of everything. Not only that, it would also tell me which lead source performs the most and where I should invest my time.

I could, at a glance, see who’s my next prospect to call, how many times I called, where they are in the process and everything that happened with this prospect. Read the rest of this entry

If you miss on any one of those, you’re making your MLM recruiting career too hard.

Most of the time, prospects can easily detect if they are going to be pitched. Who likes to be pitched anyway?

While this can be true for newbies, it’s just the exact opposite for leaders. It seems like they say the same things but prospects don’t feel like they’re being sold.

I’ve seen it happen so many times but I just couldn’t get my finger on it. What was it that they were doing that I was not.

Going from being a shy person, always in fear of what people would say, not able to sell a single product to eventually breaking records in my company for highest conversion and retention of customers on products, I’m now amazed how simple the formula is but so few people understand it or apply it to make their mlm recruiting skyrocket.

A few years ago my daughters got involved into gymnastic. They loved it! And I can tell you, they are pretty good too. Well, which parent doesn’t think their kid is good

But one day, as I picked them up from the gym, they brought with them the big box. You know the one… With 100 bars of chocolate. Ok, maybe not 100 but it was way more than what I felt we could sell. Read the rest of this entry

If you have a Facebook Page, you can easily generate leads but there are a few things you need to learn…

First, what do you use your Facebook Page for?

Think of it as your newspaper. It features articles, latest news, pictures, videos, announcements related to the subject people showed interest in.

What I do is leverage the news to post on my Facebook Page and tweak my posts to generate leads.

In the beginning you have a small number of LIKES and that’s why you want to get the most out of the small numbers you have.

In the following video I’m sharing with you a strategy I use to turn my LIKES into leads and even recruits.

The proper formula to make effective phone calls should be followed, but how can you be completely sure you’re following the formula?

Record your calls! The best way to improve your communication skills is to record yourself making calls, both in practice and in live prospecting. Then you can see if you’re doing something like talking too much or being too assertive, etc. You can also talk to your sponsor or teammates to see if they notice anything about your conversations.

Plan to spend twice as long analyzing the recording as it took to record your call. Once you’ve adjusted to hearing yourself on recordings, set aside sufficient time to analyze it, about thirty minutes to review a fifteen minutes call. As you start to analyze the recording, remember to focus on your strengths as well as aspects needing improvement. The problem areas are likely to jump out at you, but don’t overlook those things that you are doing well: being interested in your prospect, not what you will say next; handling questions properly; and so on.

On this video I will show you a tool I’m using to record my calls for free.

Thinking you did well is not enough. Recording yourself will reveal things you didn’t even know existed. Look for ways you can improve. This technique is commonly used by the best networkers in the world. Read the rest of this entry

We all want to know what’s the fastest way to get leads for our MLM business. But the problem is we don’t want to spend a fortune initially and we certainly don’t want to go through a learning curve of 6 months to a year before we finally get leads.

2 years ago I decided to experiment with classified ads. It was easy, cheap and quick.

I started to get leads within the hour after posting my ad.

I couldn’t believe it! Could it be that easy?

Yes…

It’s easy and it works. And what I like about it is you can target the person you are looking for. You don’t have to spend hours on the phone with tire kickers.

Below is an example of what happened this morning…

This morning I posted 2 ads on a classified website. Within a few minutes after posting, two people replied. I called the first one and here was my conversation…

Listen To The Initial Call:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

As you could hear, I didn’t connect well enough on the initial call. I was a little bit in a hurry to get off the phone. But at least I qualified him. The danger with not connecting properly (what my friend Tim Sales call “The Greeting”) is that your prospect doesn’t pick-up the phone when you call back.

If people are not answering when you call back, you now know why.

How comes you can’t sell you MLM company’s products online?

Big companies are doing it, you should be able to, shouldn’t you?

Technically, yes.

But there’s a catch.

Most MLM companies provide you with a replicated website and Google doesn’t like that. Google actually doesn’t like replicated content. This is why you can’t get your company’s replicated website ranked on Google.

Also, your company prohibits you from creating your own product website. They want to make sure they control what you say about the product so you and them don’t get in legal problems.

So how in the world, can you market them online?

Have you ever wondered why some people sponsor 8 out of 10 people they talk to while others can’t find a single prospect interested in their offer?

One of the most important skills to master in this business is how to communicate in a way that gets your prospect to immediately want to join your company or buy your product.

Communication happens in different formats. It can be person-to-person, through a video, through a salesletter. But the structure of your presentation is always the same if your goal is to get an excited prospect anxious to buy from you.

Let’s talk about your salescopy here but keep in mind, the format is the same for a video, an audio or a one-on-one presentation.

Your salescopy is your hard working sales person. Without it, you’re not gonna get very far.

It’s very frustrating because I find people who spend more time on their website design, or on driving traffic and they neglect their salescopy because it’s not as fun.
