Leads, what are they?  How do I utilize them to build my network marketing business?

I am going to prove that I don’t have to be an expert to write a blog on a subject.  If you’ve read previous blogs, you may be already nodding your head.

The best leads are those that have network marketing experience, and are looking for something right now.

There are leads for the cost of 3 million for 100 bucks, and they range all the way up to 20 bucks each, even more.  Watch out Einstein, here comes!  The fresh leads and the ones that cost the most MAY be better than the other ones I mentioned.  And they may not.  How do you get them?  Usually you purchase and hope.

Some have answered surveys and questionnaires, and are ready to be approached.  But you never know.  If you believe every thing you read, there are leads so good, they can’t wait for you to call them, or hit them with an autoresponder.

There are some that are really not quality.  These are so-called opportunity seeking sites that draw one in with the promise of a free laptop, or free whatever.  These sites never let you out until you purchase something, or subscribe to some magazine or something.  The other way is to disconnect your laptop and throw it out of the 11th floor window.  I know, not everyone lives high enough up…..Anyway, some of these people as if they weren’t tortured enough, end up as so-called network marketer leads.  Good luck.

The best leads I get are free, from my mentor.  He gets them in various ways, but I must say he is very creative.  Most of the time, the people are not surprised to be called, and I can almost always carry on a complete (short) conversation without a hitch.  Of course, if you are NOT in business with us, that is not an option.

No matter what, if you are power recruiting it takes a lot of dials to really see results.  Plan on making a thousand, then stepping back to take a look.  In my routine, I usually get 1/4 to 1/2 of those I contact to listen and allow me to send them more information.  There are days where the numbers are lower, sure.

Note, I did NOT say SELL them something, or pitch them.  I am simply calling to get permission to send more info, after which I follow up.  I make very short calls, and then get right back on the phone for the next ones.

If it’s internet marketing you are doing, you will need to deal with much higher numbers of leads.

If you want to find out how I do my calls, planning, follow-ups, strategy, etc, go to the Ultimate Success Coaching link in blue.  Go ahead, get the free stuff anyway.

No matter what, happy 2008 and I expect we will cross paths on the trail……rick
