Network Marketing- Recruiting Means Following All Leads
Network marketing is great opportunity to make money while working from home. But many people have a hard time moving past selling their products to the recruiting stage. You need to find and recruit people who are serious about network marketing and who are going to continue the circle by doing their own recruiting to be successful within this industry.
Come up with a recruiting strategy that matches you who are and what youre comfortable doing. Talking to personal acquaintances is a good place to generate leads. Talk to relatives friends coworkers and anyone you know though other groups such as your fitness class. This group of prospects and leads is often referred to as a warm group which means you already know them so talking to them about your product and network marketing wont be difficult. Every person on the warm list has his or her own set of acquaintances that you dont know. The reference they give you to these people about you your product and your business is a lead you can act on. Make sure you dont let any of these leads slip through your fingers.
Make sure you carry business cards and brochures with you at all times. Create something unique and catchy that is going to generate interest. Brochures should have information not only about the product you sell but also about network marketing advantages and why people should consider finding out more information about your team. Consistently pass out your cards and brochures. The more you hand out the more likely you are to get those phone calls or emails from interested people. Frequent places where there are lots of people. Consider having a booth at trade shows and fairs that only displays your product but information about your company. Youre there not just to make a sale but also to create leads to follow up on.
Lastly make sure you have an online website. Your website is just like any other tool: a way to make sales and to provide people with information about network marketing. Follow up every sale with a letter not only thanking people for their business but also giving them information about the advantages of network marketing.

Flying First Class
How much would you pay if you wanted to fly from Phoenix to New York this weekend?
If you booked your flight on United Airlines you could be standing on Broadway to see a show on Saturday night for only 620. Why not go all out and travel first class? It will only cost you 3378.
Many don’t see the value in that 2758 difference. But no matter how empty the coach section of the plane those few first class seats are almost always sold out.
Yahoo founder and author Seth Godin challenges us to discover How Much Extra for Nice?
Although the perceived value of that first class seat is over 3000 what’s the incremental cost to the airline? You’ll get a lot more attention from the flight attendant. You’ll get a meal instead of peanuts. You may even cost the airline a few dollars in drinks.
The airline will spend about 100 more on you and book an additional 2658 in gross profit.
What can you do to offer your clients and customers the opportunity to travel first class? You need to start by providing great basic service. Great basic service would include everything that your competition claims to offer but you need to actually deliver that level of service.
Your next step is to really understand what motivates your clients. Why do they buy from you now? What would make them buy again? What would cause them to tell their friends and family about your business?
How do you get the answers to those challenging questions? Quite simply you ask. You could get very formal with focus groups and research questionnaires but all you really need are a few questions and the willingness to reach out to your customers and ask for their feedback.
Now you take that feedback and engineer your profits and pricing to reflect those firstclass opportunities on your business jet. It can’t hurt to just be nice to everyone but filling those firstclass seats could make a big difference in your bottomline.
I hope to see you on Broadway this weekend. Be sure to say “hi” when you see me in the first class section!
