How to explode your Network Marketing Business on the Internet

Looking

One of the biggest struggles in this industry is finding good MLM leads. Unfortunately, most of the problem comes from the fact that the ideal target market has not been indentified before you start your marketing efforts.

Let me illustrate with a quick story…

The other day my lovely Wife sent me to the store with a short list of items that we needed for our home. On the list was written “Finesse Hairspray” - yes it was for her - I am not much of a hair product guy.

So I headed over to the hair spray aisle and began my search. I looked and looked, but could not find “Finesse Hairspray - black bottle.”. I must have spent five minutes looking at each and every bottle on the aisle - who knew there were so many brands of hair product! Finally I came to the conclusion that the store simply did not have “Finesse Hairspray” and finished my shopping.

When I got back to my car I gave her a quick call to see if I needed to go somewhere else. She could not believe that the store did not have it. I said the only black bottle on the shelf was “Tresemme”. At which point she exclaimed, “That’s it!”. She had mistakenly written the wrong brand name down on the shopping list. Sure enough I went back in and instantly found what she wanted.

Now your probably wondering how this story relates to your target market and generating MLM leads for your business, so let’s look at this from a business perspective.

When we first get into this business we are told to target our friends and family. Then when that does not work, we are told to purchase generic business opportunity leads. Sure this tactic might get you a few new associates, but from my perspective these two groups of people are not your ideal target market, and the struggle will continue for you.

Just like when I was trying to find the wrong hairspray on the shelf, and did not have success, targeting the wrong group of people will also lead you to failure.

However, once you identify the precise market to suck your MLM leads from, life becomes much easier. In exactly the same way I instantly found the correct hairspray once I knew the right brand name, you will be able to enroll new associates at a record pace!

    The right type of leads is vital, but not only that, once you figure out how to generate the right leads for your business (assuming your sponsor hasn’t figured it yet!) you must ensure your team fully understand how too. I always ensure my team have systems in place from Day 1. Your business is dead otherwise!
