What Are the Questions You Should Be Asking to Qualify Your Prospect in Your Networking Business?

Remember, this is a relationship. The prospect is asking you questions about your business and about you. However, I have not seen very successful marriages, where one spouse is required to do everything from now to eternity, and the other spouse does anything. Now, this type of marriage would fail, but so will a business relationship if it is onesided too. Remember, it is an interview. Do you want to really invest in the prospect and help them make money? How do you know the person you should be working with and who is wasting your time and energy and will never go anywhere?For those in network marketing, we all know it is work. It is not a get rich quick plan. If you do zero, I will be a psychic and predict what your check will be every month..... It would be zero! Now, what will happen with your checks if you have all zeros? They will be zero too. We know that the fact to be successful is getting the company product to move. So, how do you know the people who are serious as a heart attack or not worth already chewed bubblegum.Now, when your a business owner, you interview your employees, and you may have been on each side of the process. Now, you have to be interviewing your prospects. If you are puking all over them with why your opportunity is the best for them, stop and go into the bathroom and puke all you want and get it out of your system. Come back and interview your business partners.In the interview, it is not about you talking, it is about you getting answers. Let the prospect talk to you. Here are key questions that I ask.Have you owned a business before? How long have you been in the industry? What company were you with? Now, this will be for someone that was in a networking business before. Listen to the answers, because this is where people will tell you what you want to hear.
What made you want to start a home based business? Why did you start a business?
How are you currently building your business? What methods have you used to find people to build your business? What has challenged you? Why did it challenge you? How did you get past the challenge?
How many people are you sponsoring in your business each week? What is the size of your team?
How much are you able to invest in your business each month? How much are you making? Are you in profit?
What is your biggest goal? (Get them to spill their guts and their Why)
Find out about family, hobbies, married life! This can be the reason most people get out of a business. You need to know what drives them!
How do you see yourself building this business?Get them to talk! See where their focus is at. Is it on customers or getting rich in the next 30 days? You will have to work with these people, and you want to work with serious people and not job hoppers. When I wind down the interview process, I like to see who their mentors and where they got the education from. This is important and you need to have someone that you like the training style and the in your face training, and have someone to refer them to. You want the person to grow and not waste your time.

How to Become the Hunted Expert Instead of the Hunter When Building Your Home Based Business

In network marketing or any home based business the only really successful people are those who position themselves as a leader. The reason for this is people join leaders because they know a leader can help them get to where they want to be.There are two ways to position yourself as an expert. The first way is to promote solutions for the problems other marketers face while building their business or solutions for consumers that want to get in the industry and intelligently want guidance from someone who knows the ropes. The second way is to become a leader by raising your value to others through learning winning marketing skills and training and instructing others.These two ways are related to the reasons someone may want to join you in business. They think of you as a leader who can help them learn how to be successful in the industry or they believe your system will help them succeed without struggling or wasting time and money.When someone goes to a company replicated site of yours and opts in for information, it does two things. It puts them on your company's auto responder list and not your own where you can control what is sent. Also they start getting mind numbing and pointless emails telling how great the company and their products are.Most of the emails will be about upcoming events and will talk about features like how they are debt free, when they were founded, their great comp plan, product features, etc... People don't really care about this stuff, they just want to make money.Most companies will teach "old school" offline methods for building your business. These methods will take years to work but there is an alternative; attraction marketing using the Internet. Part of this strategy is using your own autoresponder to collect and manage your list of prospects. This is a service where you have complete control of the messages that are sent to your prospects.Every message will have your name and you can teach and promote tools and products to your list that helps them build their business. All the links can be affiliates of your so you can earn a commission from every purchase by those on your list. If you promote tools that help them and teach them to build their business you will be building a relationship with them. This will cause them to want your messages for the help you provide.If your messages do not help them they will unsubscribe and even delete your unopened emails. Teaching them strategies that work and giving them ideas will build trust and cause them to like you. People do business with those they like and trust. They could be in your marketing funnel for years.The real advantage is you will be perceived as a leader that helps others succeed and it will be building the brand of YOU. Using your own autoresponder service to share valuable information and promote your affiliate products will build lasting relationships.The most powerful messages are short, to the point, and tell a story or are in the form of an interview. There are two elements you need to use for best results. First, great content that helps them in their efforts, and second, emotion which can be brought out by using a story they can relate to because that will make it more memorable.Emotions come into play for many people's decisions and if your story brings that out it will help you. People remember stories better than facts and figures and they will make decisions based on emotions so it will be better to bring that out. It will help people to remember you and develop a following of people who are attracted to you.Attraction is not a decision it is a response and if you give them reasons to like you like being able to relate to your story and reasons to trust you like showing them solutions to their problems they will have no choice. You educated them and gave them a system that works and they will be attracted to you.

Arbonne Success - Listen Up!

At the end of the day, your success in Arbonne depends on quality training. Virtually all MLM companies offer some sort of getting started instructions but the question that has to be asked is, yeah, but does it work? When their training is put to work, will it generate results and make you money?Clearly, the answer is no. This is because much of the training provided is all about educating you on their company and products...not marketing strategy.You see, people never join companies, they join YOU!It is natural for Arbonne and other MLM's to teach you how to promote their products exclusively, I mean that makes sense from their perspective. Most people fail in MLM and this is one of the reasons why. You are never taught the importance of personal leadership and building the You, Inc brand. You don't need to add to be statistic... you can achieve Arbonne success with some proven marketing methods.You need a self-funded proposal to really make it big with Arbonne. This is selling a useful product upfront for a low price then following up with the primary product or service, Arbonne in this case, on the back-end. Cell phone companies serve as a great example.You are offered a phone at a low price (or free) initially to entice you to sign a two year service contract. The service contract is what makes them money. The phone draws you in. That is the same concept you want to implement to achieve success in Arbonne.To be specific, sell generic MLM training upfront to establish yourself as a leader who has answers. You can then follow up with your Arbonne opportunity.When you find someone that is willing to invest a few dollars to learn how to market their business then you've got a great candidate. These prospects have put their money where their mouth is and have shown a level of commitment. The fortune is in the follow up so make sure you pick up that phone and connect!A quality self funded proposal will serve as a filter. It sorts through prospects and leaves you with those that are serious candidates. You gotta spend a little money to make money, right? So, you get rid of those folks that are unwilling to spend a few dollars learning to market their business.Your level of energy and enthusiasm for your Arbonne business will only grow when you identify those people that are serious about succeeding in the industry. A self-funded proposal will help you achieve that end.Bottom line, when you provide solid generic MLM training for a small price you accomplish a couple of things: 1) Your number of qualified leads goes up and 2) Your prospects see that you provide real value to them and that builds value in your leadership abilities.To find some high quality self-funded proposals, I recommend anything by Mike Dillard. If you are looking to streamline the whole process, My Lead System Pro has far and away the best system.You become top of mind with your prospects. By doing this properly, you will not only achieve high levels of success with Arbonne but your people will too! To achieve your MLM dreams a self-funded proposal is clearly one of the most valuable tools available.

Your First Year in Network Marketing

Congratulations on getting started in business for yourself. It can be a daunting step and a step that many people take too lightly. Your first year in network marketing is supposed to be a year of growth, experience and fun however for most people it is a year of pain, missed opportunities and broken promises.Today I want to take you through what you need to do in your first year of network marketing to gain the results you are looking for and build a business that will continue to pay you even when you are sleeping.We are going to tackle the "Do's and Do Not's" of your first year. These steps I talk about will be critical to your success and paramount for you to know so you don't fall into the traps.So let's start with the Do's: These are pretty common. Most leaders who have been around for a while will give you a majority of these Do's for your first year in network marketing however there are some they will not give you.1. Make sure you have your "Big Dream" written down. For me it was buying shoes for my daughter, for my wife to be able to stay at home to raise our children (instead of a day care centre doing it for us) and to have a sense of accomplishment and feel as though I could do something worthwhile.Make sure this written down statement is in your wallet or purse and carried around with you. Read it each day.2. Set your goals around your priorities. Meaning, make sure you know what is most important to you BEFORE you set your goals.3. Determine your work hours. Have time set aside to build your business and time set aside to rest. I take Easter (1 week) and Christmas (4 - 6 weeks) off at the moment. I also have the times I work my business in my diary and the dates of the important events like birthdays, anniversaries, dates with my wife etc in my diary.4. Have a training system to plug into. You see if there is no training system where you can go to get the information you need 24 hours per day and 7 days per week you are not going to be able to build a business that is duplicatable. You want your system to teach you how to use both offline and online strategies to build your business.5. Be consistent with your efforts. The money is made when you are working your business consistently, so in your first year of network marketing make sure you put time aside to work your business every week.6. Know what working looks like in network marketing or home based business. In this industry there is only one way you make money and that is when you are getting someone started in business or on your products and when you team are doing the same. Remember if you are not working neither are your team. Administration is NOT working...7. Be with a Company that is going to pay you well and have a unique product range.8. Learn how to use an auto responder and technology. More about this later.9. Attend ALL the meetings and duplicate what the leaders are doing that you respect.OK so let's cover to Do Not's of your first year in network marketing.1. Don't treat your business like a hobby. Remember that hobbies cost you money. If you are not treating your business seriously you are not making money.2. Don't fool yourself by saying you are working your business when you are not. You know what I am talking about. Too many people say they are working when they are actually on Facebook, checking emails or chatting with friends about everything else except their business or products.3. Don't be a product junky and forget you have a business opportunity as well. Most people get started and ONLY talk about their products. They get scared to talk about their business. Don't do this.4. Don't think you know it all. Stay teachable. Get professionally trained.5. Don't be boring. Build with purpose and passion. People want to hang around other people that are getting things done and are having fun...Now of course there are many things we can talk about for your first year in network marketing however from my experience these are the most important. Remember, if you are scared, unsure, and apprehensive etc. this will all come through and will show up in your results. Stay confident!The best way to beat this and have a great first year in network marketing is to practice, do role plays and go to work. Keep analysing your results and you will be successful.Make sure you treat it seriously and it will pay you seriously.

10 Things to Look For in New MLM Companies

If you are looking to develop an online business you might want to consider multilevel marketing - MLM. There are many of them out there and they can easily be a great source of income. Or you may already be involved in MLM and are seeking new MLM companies to get involved in to produce multiple streams of income. Either way you need to fully understand what to look for in these companies. The last thing you want to do is waste your time and money. In this article, I share with you some ideas that can help you narrow the options when selecting a MLM company.#1 - Solid ReputationThis is very important in new MLM companies, or any company for that matter. Clearly if they are fairly new the company is going to be developing their reputation but it doesn't take long for word to get out if it is all one big scam. When there is any doubt in your mind then move on!#2 - Start Up CostsWhile it can take money to get going in any new MLM company it shouldn't cost an arm and a leg to do so. Basically starting out in your new business venture should cost you under $500.#3 - Training ProvidedAnother thing a good MLM business will provide is solid training. They ought to provide you with all the training you need to do your job and grow your business successfully. You should never be left trying to figure out what to do next.#4 - Concise TrainingWhile you'll be continually growing and learning while you develop your MLM business it should not take forever to understand the basics. The basic training should be something you can grasp quicky to allow you to get started immediately. New MLM companies who have good training materials will see that this happens.#5 - Real People Provide AnswersAn excellent aspect of a good MLM company is there are real live people you can speak with and ask questions. You should have a mentor or someone above you who is personally invested in you and your success. Your sponsor should be one of these people but the new MLM company needs to have real live people available to help.#6 - Offer Something UniqueAnother thing you should make sure of is that you are going to be offering a unique merchandise or service. After all if what you're promoting is available at every Wal-mart out there why should they buy what you have to give?#7 - Share with them Something of ValueThis is another essential part of a new MLM business. Stay away from scam products. If it looks too good to be true it usually is! Only be a part of something that offers real value to the people using it.#8 - Keep with the TimesYou also want to look for a new MLM business that keeps up with current trends and technology. The internet is the marketing field of today and any business must be involved in that.#9 - Customer ServiceAny excellent company has excellent customer service. If a company is known for not taking care of the people who buy from them it won't be a success in the end.#10 - Makes You ImportantAnd the bottom line for new MLM companies - they should care about YOU! After all you're advertising them and investing in them. If you're not important than nothing you do for them will make any difference.

Alivamax - How to Make Money in It

One of the great things about Alivamax is that they are positioning themselves in a trillion dollar global market of aging baby boomer's offering a unique anti-aging product. With such a demand the question will remain "How does one make any money promoting Alivamax wonderful products?"With so many other health and fitness Network Marketing Companies one has to compete with it is paramount that the distributor must set themselves apart from all the masses. It does not matter how great the product or compensation plan is if these distributors don't have the proper skill set to market and promote their product they simple will fade away and not make any money. Which would be sad because it appears that they have a very generous pay plan structure.So how does one make money in Alivamax?The First and primary goal any distributor should have is learning how to get TARGETED Leads with targeted being the keyword here. One of the biggest mistakes I see distributors make is they attract the wrong type of people to their business.The Second goal is they must be able to capture these leads and put them into what is called an auto responder program that will automatically send out personal emails on their behalf offering valuable information that can help these potential prospects.And lastly in order to get a high conversion rate of signing up these prospects they must learn the proper skill set to call, introduce themselves and offer any help these people have.In reality people don't join a business. They join someone they trust can help them make money. That is why it is so important in your emails to NOT promote your company but rather offer information that can truly help these people.In conclusion the biggest tip I can give you to make money promoting Alivamax is NOT to promote the company and products first but promote yourself as a leader. You must set yourself apart because to be honest with you know one cares about Alivamax or any other company as much as they care about being helped in learning how to make money with that company.
