Following my last blog, we talked about the methods of building the MLM list.

The second method is calling MLM leads. One way is buy leads from the lead company. Basically, you buy your MLM list from the lead company. The lead company generates the leads through advertising or a broker. Another way is to generate the leads by yourself through advertising on TV, newspapers, pamphlet drops etc, or through the internet. By doing this you will have a MLM list exclusive to you. However, it requires special skills and money to make it work.

To effectively cold call the people on your MLM list, you will need a special set of skills. It will take intense personal development training, people skill training, a lot of practice and determination to master those skills. Once you have mastered those skills, you can have a tremendous impact to your MLM business, like legendary Tim sales, Jeffery Combs, Todd Flacone and many others did, they put hundreds of people into the business each month without a single face to face contact.

However, because of the wide use of internet, the third method I’m going to talk about is how to use the internet to build your MLM list. This method has been tested and proven and is the best way to do the MLM business in the last 15 years or so. It takes the human emotional fact out of the prospecting process right from the beginning. It turns spinning the wheels process into auto pilot; it turns hunter into hunted.

No matter what business you are in, the only thing that holds you back from you achieving your dream is your everlasting MLM list that gives you a consistent unlimited number of quality people that you can show the business to. When you’ve learned the skills of how to build a list like that, your success in MLM is pretty much guaranteed.

I will write about the subject about internet MLM prospecting in detail in my next blog.
Stay tuned!

The main reason that most people struggle in MLM is that they have a lack of a consistent supply of quality people in which they can show their opportunity or products to. As a matter of fact, most people have no business experience when they join the MLM business and their MLM list is their initial list of people who they know. The list runs out in matter of weeks and their business doesn’t go anywhere, so they go out of business. For those who are brave enough to stay in the business, the only option left for them is go into the cool market.
Starting to operate in a cool market environment can be a horrifying experience for anyone who hasn’t done it before. That is quite normal, just like when you first rode on a bike or drove a car. With proper guidance and a lot of practice, doing it correctly, that is, you can overcome the challenge and produce great results … meaning you will have a never ending MLM contact list.
There are several different methods that you can operate in.
The first method is approaching people face to face in area like shopping mall, gas station, line up in shops, etc, get people’s phone number and put it on your MLM list. It is the oldest method people in network marketing use and teaches. It also called “Three foot rule”, which is to talk about your business or products to anyone who comes across within 3 feet. The problem with this method is that people are generally afraid of talking to strangers. We were told not to talk to strangers when we were younger, weren’t we? This is how we’ve been programmed up to this point. Because most people don’t have the training, they don’t know how to sell and they don’t want to sell. They don’t know what to say and how to say it. They have no idea in how to make connections and what questions to ask to get their prospect interested in their business or products.
There is no doubt that there are people who have been very successful in the business in building a huge MLM list by just operating using this method alone in the past, but the majority had failed.
I will explore the rest of these methods of working in the cool market in upcoming blog.
