1- I am Helpful: Upfront, with no strings attached, your MLM recruiting package provides valuable free marketing ideas, specifically aimed at building network marketing success. When your free marketing ideas are truly helpful, it positions you as an expert with whom they can feel comfortable since you have clearly already achieved a degree of network marketing success.
Comfortable, knowledgeable, experts are the ones who get sought out, and being sought out is perhaps THE major key to network marketing success. Being helpful does not mean spending lots of time-consuming, face to face, phone, or email contacts as a part of MLM recruiting. Actually, the most helpful kind of expert is simply a source of valuable information - free marketing ideas. Be seen as one who provides practical, answers to the questions common to those just beginning their trek toward network marketing success and your value simply soars.
2- I am Honest: Always deliver on your promises as you undertake MLM recruiting. If you direct your contacts to a page containing "10 Killer MLM Recruiting Strategies," then be sure that is what they find. There may also be a link to your opportunity offer, but that is secondary to the main, promised, focus. Present your offer as a 'next stage' they may want to look into. Having them register (opt into your mailing list) allows you to continue offering them additional, helpful, free marketing ideas, which they will appreciate and which will therefore aid you in your MLM Recruiting.
If you tell a potential MLM recruit that an offer will only be available for 10 days (or whatever) make sure that is true. It builds trust but it also reflects the image that you are not dependant on (desperate for) their participation, that is, you have already achieved network marketing success! (Do you think folks who are still wandering through the confusing maze of MLM information just might want to hitch themselves to such a star?)
When you make an offer in your MLM recruiting material - free marketing ideas, for example - deliver not only the free ideas, which are really all you promised, but make them fantastic, remarkable, indelibly memorable. Always over produce! This multiplies your image of honesty (and dependability) like few other moves can accomplish.
3- I am Patient: My MLM recruiting techniques will never pressure you, although I may make time-limited offers. Once they opt into your mailing list (or newsletter) continue to regularly provide useful, free marketing ideas - no strings attached. You are patient, you see. As long as they allow you to continue 'marketing' to them they represent a potential 'sale' (or ten!) and often become great sources of word-of-mouth advertising.
Josh Cope, a highly respected leader in internet marketing, emphasizes that network marketing success begins and ends with developing and maintaining a solid, long term, positive, relationship with all those you encounter along the way. This not only requires your helpfulness and honesty, it also requires your patience. Make it your goal to never lose a good prospect discovered through your MLM recruiting efforts.
4- I am Persistent: This is primarily a part of the image you need to have of yourself as a person approaching or sustaining network marketing success. Set your plans and stick to them. Modify them when experience indicates changes will be helpful but keep to the over-all goals toward which you are building. Extraordinary and persistent MLM recruiting support is the basis for network marketing success.
Persistence might better be seen as 'dependably consistent' in the eyes of your potential opportunity participants. If you imply you will be there for them, then make certain you are there for them. If you suggest they will continue to receive great free marketing ideas from you, keep it up. Persistence has long been known to be a key in MLM recruiting.
Regardless of your over-all plan, your offer, or your goals, cling tenaciously to the four basic tenets exhibited by industry leaders with proven network marketing success: Be helpful, be honest, be patient, and be persistent (dependable).
