The MLM Structure
You should realize by now that that there is HOPE while you are stuck building your MLM business the old traditional way. The internet is a big goldmine just simply waiting for the right person to come along and dig into it.
One of the most basic principles you should realize in starting an MLM business is the importance of building your list!
It’s probably the first thing your uplines required from you when you started in your company. It can be a 10 person namelist or 1000. The number doesn’t really matter but the important thing is that you are building a list. Now, there are generally three ways to generate that list.
1. The people you know and the people they know, this is called your WARM or SEMI- WARM list.
2. Purchase a generic lead from a lead company — this is called your COLD list.
3. Or you can generate your own.
For most of us we started out with our warm list. It’s the list of people you know who are primarily your friends and family. It’s the ones whom you would personally enjoy working with in your business but unfortunately is also the list where you experience the most painful rejections.
But there is something about a warm list that most people don’t realize that is the cause of the most frustration and rejection. And these two limitations are…
Limitation 1: Your WARM LIST is HIGHLY NON-TARGETED and UNQUALIFIED.
When you approach people in your warm market most of the time they have NOT even asked for what you have to offer. And this leads to a lot of rejection because you really
DON’T KNOW if they are interested in your offer.
Now assuming that they do join you, most of them end up as fence sitters or quitters because they really don’t have what it takes to succeed in this business.
Limitation 2: The question of QUANTITY.
You only have a few people in your warm list and after that then it would dry up. Perhaps only 3% of networkers can generate endless leads from their warm market. And the rest will just simply cease their business building.
So what do you do next? Buy generic leads. That’s what they are telling you! But generic leads are much worse. You DON’T KNOW if they are interested in your offer. You DON’T KNOW if they are even fit for network marketing. You DON’T KNOW them and they DON’T KNOW you. At the end, using generic leads will only frustrate you big time.
Result? You might as well expect more rejections. And frankly be prepared to sound like a call center telemarketer at their end of the line.
Now I’m not saying that it’s wrong to work your warm and cold market. I just feel that it is not a very professional way to build an MLM business anymore. Just be prepared for a lot of rejections if you do this.
Now if you are like me, you are reading this because you are looking for solutions. An alternative way to build your list and that is what I will tell you now.
The solution to the two limitations of your warm market is really very simple. For limitation #1 it’s just simply MARKETING!
Marketing is simply the art of bringing your offer in front of people who have shown interest in it. It is not intrusive and no hard selling.
Do you ever notice the ads in TV, radio and billboards? They are very creative in how they present their offer to you right? And once they got your attention you call them and they don’t call you. And that is exactly what we would want for our MLM business.
When you know who your market is and how to meet their needs there will be no chasing after people. Instead, they will look for you.
The solution for limitation number 2 is to generate your own list, which is the third way of list building as mentioned earlier.
Notice that I used the term generate and not buy. Because buying generic leads is just a waste of time and money. Remember how even more limited your cold list is?
But you don’t just go about generating a random list. You generate a list of highly targeted people who have shown interest in what you have to offer.
This is done through the first piece of real estate you should have in the internet which is called a “lead page”.
In this page people give their name and email address to you through a web form in exchange for a free item or a free solution that you are offering to them.
Now imagine if you have even just 3 people added to that list every day, what would that do to your business?
In only a month you would have 100 new people to talk to about your business. And these people have already told you that they are interested in what you have to offer.
They have opened their doors for you to talk to them. Now wouldn’t that be nice?
Do you realize now that it is possible to build your MLM business using the internet? Do you realize now that this was never taught in your MLM company? Do you realize now that you’ve got a fighting chance in this strategy because people have yet to discover the benefits of this?
It is time to go MLM the better way!
