When you are involved in Direct Selling industry particularly in multi-level marketing, sponsoring of people is a big deal and it should be a non-stop action. You probably know that in order for your organization to grow, you need to keep on sponsoring people in. You must make this as your daily habit even though it will take sometimes to cultivate it.
There are many techniques that you can apply to sponsor people. These methods are easy to be executed if you have build up all the personal development skills required to persevere in the business. Just to recap before I show you the methods; be confident, be excited, remember to praise people, show them your appreciations, have a pleasant personality, professionally attired as you are going to share them a global business, know your products well, do not be late for appointment, do not waste time, etc. If you have been following my blogs, there are many personal skills that I’ve mentioned that you’ve to develop if you are involved in network marketing.
Some of the techniques that are worth mentioning here are as follows.
Personal invitation through telephone, email or letter. If you hate to do cold callings, then don’t do. Contact all the persons that are closed to you. Your friends, working colleagues, family, relatives, etc. etc. just to mention a few. You must know what to talk or write. This is one method that I always implement. Depending on who you’re going to approach base on your prospect background, I will never mentioned anything about the company, products or compensation plan, unless, you are pretty confident about it. This is advisable for new network marketers. Sometimes, you do not know what to say on your first appointment. In this case, you need the help from your sponsor or uplines. What you need to do is just to secure an appointment. Your uplines will be very happy to help you but please remember to brief them about your prospect. Your uplines need to know all the necessary information before they could help you. Why don’t mention about the 3 things? We are not actually cheating them but some of your prospects will reject you “right on the spot”, when you mention either the 3 subjects. If you’re new, you will get dejected faster because of the rejections. It will “kill” your spirit abruptly, you will be unmotivated, your “belief” is gone, and you will be out of the industry for good. I know how it feels, as I’d experienced it. Only that my “belief” (passion and love) is stronger than the failures and rejections.
Face to face invitation. Your prospects can be your warm or cold market. It doesn’t matter who they are. As long as they show signs of curiousness to know more about what you do, then invite them for a proper meeting. It could be now, today, tomorrow or some other day. Get their contact (preferably telephone or email), exchange name cards, try to get more information from them by listening more than talking (you can do that when you have set an appointment), etc. However, always remember that a good “show” doesn’t always have a happy ending. Be prepared to be rejected. It’s all part of the game. Use it to push you through as a motivational tools rather than a “destructive” one. Always think positive. If no show, remember the 3 SWs & a big letter N, “some would, some won’t, so what, NEXT!”
Email Marketing. If you are the one who refuse to meet face to face (due to bad experiences or whatever your reasons), then write an emails that sells and set your own email marketing system. Remember, you must know what to write. Normally, if you are in a direct selling company that always believed in new technologies, you will not face any problem. They will supply you with all the online marketing tools that you need to market the products and grow your organization. What you write, depend on the company and system that you are respectively using as your medium and platform for your business. You must remember that if you are building a career in network marketing as a business, you must be responsible in what you are executing. Get a good system to guide you through. In order to succeed, system must be simple, proven and duplicable. Work as a team. A team of positive-minded people that care and share. If you are marketing online, keep on testing the system until it works! The rule is testing your system, keep on testing, and carry on testing until it serves your needs.
Subsequent follow-up from your first meeting. This is one of the most vital. Normally, if your prospects agree to have a subsequent meeting with you, the chances are they want to know more about your business and opportunity. This is your only chance to sponsor them. So, be well-prepared. Do not blow it away! Clear your mind from any positive thoughts. Remember, you either help them in whatever ways you can (it doesn’t matter whether they will be your products consumer or business partners) or you will kill their interest about the industry. Be truthful, don’t ever lie, give them all the information they need, give those options and lastly guide them when they make that decision to change their life. You don’t owe them a living neither do we.
Correct timing? Not such thing as correct timing. You may not agree what I said here but the truth, there is no such thing as correct timing or right timing. Your prospects either do it now or don’t do it. Remember, you don’t owe any body a living. But, when we cooperate and works as a team, our success can comes fast. But that also won’t help if everyone in your organization doesn’t duplicate the system. Remember, people will change but system won’t if the system is very powerful, simple and already proven to guarantee you success if you duplicate. I personally don’t believe in the right timing, right place or the right time. It’s how you handle your prospects. It’s all about the right system to be duplicated as your platform with the right company as your medium and the right people you’re working with.
You must be able to execute all the marketing techniques such as building relationship (the most important in network marketing), share with people something that could inspired them about the industry (they are many out there, you just need to open your mouth and share), and know your products well (intellectual marketing). If you don’t sell, you don’t earn. If you fail to earn, then you cannot buy. If you want to buy, then you must sell!
Network marketing is a complete business model for someone that wants to own a global business with low investment, freedom of time and high probability of success. Sponsoring of people is the main task that you must exercise everyday to grow your business organization. How you execute it will determine how fast your organization will grow. The best advice is sponsor only good people in if you want to have an organization that last.
To your success,
