What Get s A Network Marketing Prospect To Sign Up It s NOT the Money





What do prospects consider to be most important when making a decision to join a company? Is it company image? Company management experience, perhaps? A company's product line, literature, history and heritage? How about potential earnings?

MLM industry legend Tom "Big Al" Schreiter, who comes face-to-face with thousands of people every year through the generic MLM training tours he does all over the world, discovered none of the above were of significant concern to prospects.

What he discovered were the top three things that influenced a prospects decision to signup, by a land slide, had NOTHING to do with the company providing the opportunity or the products. They were the following...

1. Who gave the presentation
2. Upline support
3. Training provided

There you have it. The top three things that influenced a prospect's decision to join a business opportunity are all about YOU. They didn't care about the money, they didn't care about the products and they didn't care about the company.

People join people, not companies or products. Therefore, if you want to get in contact with the most qualified prospects, you should first and foremost brand yourself.

In the "attraction marketing" circle, they talk about branding "yourself" a lot. More on that a little later...

Today we are definitely living in an over communicated society. People have seen it all before. Every day, they're being bombarded with advertising for products that promise so much, but deliver little. They're immunised against hype and promotion. They don't want to hear another sales pitch. They just want to be left alone.

So peddling another opportunity or another product isn't going to cause many people to open up to you, is it?

I once heard Perry Marshall, a brilliant direct marketer who had his beginnings as a network marketer, say that in the '80s, people were cocooning themselves from over-communication. Today, people are building 10m tall walls around themselves to be protected against the onslaught of unwanted communication.

But people are looking for leaders who can help them have the success that they so badly want. And that's why it's so important that they open up and invite you in as a welcomed guest, because they see you as a shining beacon, not as another peddling sales person.

When you brand yourself properly, there is no need to fear the competition, because there isn't any. There's only one of YOU in the entire world. You have a unique personality, a unique perspective and a unique style that you can put out there as a "brand." That's not a luxury you have when you're promoting the same product as a million other people.

So what does it mean to brand yourself?

Is it promoting a capture page with a photo of you on it saying "I'll show you how to make $9,857.56 next month if you give me your name and email (so that I can bombard your inbox with my affiliate lead generation system)" ? No, that's not what self branding is about at all, but that's what a lot of people in the "attraction marketing" circles are doing at the moment. They will learn the hard way.

Branding yourself is about you addressing your prospects deepest concerns. It's about you putting out your sincerity in the form of content that will help your ideal prospect. It's about you saying to them...

"It's okay. I feel your struggles, your pain. You don't have to turn into a head strong jackass like they tell you to make money in network marketing. You are perfect the way you are. You can do this. I am here to help you."

When you frequently put out messages like this in videos, blog posts, forum discussions, or any other medium in this universe, without ANY agenda, you can't help but attract good people to you. How do you do that? Take the time to study the people who you want to attract. Find out what's hurting them the most, then show them how you can help alleviate their pain.

•Do You Know Your Ideal Network Marketing Prospect
Do you know who your prospect is? Moreover, do you know who your IDEAL prospect is? Most people in network marketing don't have a clue who their prospects are. And because they don't know who their prospects are, they never attract the right people to them. The reason most of us networkers don't know who our prospects are because we haven't taken the time to listen and understand them. We never shine the spotlight on the prospect because we're too busy shining the spotlight on ourselves, our...

•Are Trying to Close Your MLM Prospects Why You Will Inevitably Struggle
Recently, I decided to dig out some long forgotten motivational CD's of an MLM company I used to be with, just for interests sake. The title of the CD was was apt for the recruitment driven culture of that company. I honestly don't think anybody could be successful today building a business with what was said on that CD, which was recorded only 2 years ago. First of all, the super star giving the speech made you feel pretty inadequate if you happened to be there in the audience. Here are the...

•8 Reasons Why You re Struggling To Sign Up Network Marketing Prospects
Ninety-seven percent of networkers are destined for failure BEFORE they even start building their home based businesses. With no training on marketing and prospect psychology, without any clue on how to do this business, they are literally told to start burning bridges around them. In my first network marketing company, there was no training on how to connect with prospects. It was all about inviting people you know to a meeting, showing them the plan and telling them you have access to the...

•A Quick Guide To An MLM Marketing System That Works
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Network marketing is a business built on relationships. No relationships, no MLM business, no long term residual income. But how do you build solid relationships with the right people? The answer is MARKETING. Marketing is the tool you use to put yourself in touch with qualified people. The vast majority of network marketers don't know how to market. As Mike Dillard of Magnetic Sponsoring fame says: This is an industry of promotion pursued by people...

•Recruit or Retail Which creates sustainable MLM profits
Does your MLM company encourage endless recruiting? Or does it encourage you to sell its products to end consumers? Which is better? Recruiting or Retailing? A steady residual income in the long term requires a good balance of both. Passive income in network marketing is your reward for building a sales force or distribution channel where large quantities of your company’s product gets into the hands of many happy, loyal customers. Endless recruiting IS NOT a sustainable business model....

•Are You a Rep for an Network Marketing Company with High Overhead Run For Your Life
If you want to create long term residual income in network marketing and have that support your desired lifestyle, avoid MLM companies with high overhead. The more overhead an MLM company has, the less chance of success you will have in the long term, because the less commissions it can pay you for the hard work that you do as a distributor. The less commissions it pays, the more people you'll need to sponsor. The more you'll need to sponsor, means your recruits will need to sponsor more...

•A Solid MLM Product It s Critical to Your Long Term Success
Every legitimate business, no matter what industry, sells a product or service to a consumer or a client. Product is a very important part of your network marketing business and should never be overlooked. However, it is easy for people with less experience to get caught up in the emotion of products. Some people will jump straight on to a trendy product. Some people will go out of their way to justify why their product is better than anybody elses even though it's three times more...

•How Network Marketing And Internet Marketing Are Completely Different
The REAL Difference between Internet Marketing and Network Marketing is RELATIONSHIPS. Internet Marketing is a form of Direct Marketing. Direct Marketing is a numbers game, Network Marketing is not - it is a relationships game. There is nothing wrong with Internet Marketing or Direct Marketing. They are perfectly good business models where you can build a handsome from home income. But there is a big difference between Internet Marketing and Network Marketing and it's important for you, as a...

•The Funded Proposal Is It Taking Off The Path To Your Ultimate MLM Goals
Everybody knows that building a downline is hard work and that steady residual cashflow is not immediate. It may take months to years of dedicated work in building strong relationships and sponsoring people to eventually generate enough income so you can walk away from the daily business building activities and retire to the MLM lifestyle. In the meantime, networkers must spend a lot of time, money and energy promoting themselves, and their solutions to attract the right prospects. For most...

•What If Your Network Marketing Company Decides To Stop Doing MLM
What does it mean when a company does away with its play plan? It's an absolute kick in the guts to the hard working reps who built the company from the ground up. All that hard work inviting people, talking to them on the phone, meeting people in cafes, restaurants and homes, doing presentations, the no shows, follow ups and coaching calls all of a sudden means nothing - a complete waste! That's what happened to the distributors of a nutritional beverage MLM company in early 2010. Their...
