MLM Leads: How to Get More Leads Offline

I'm Struggling To Get Leads, What Should I Do?


So you have made the right decision in starting your own Network Marketing business. Then you have jotted down 100 names of friends and family that you will prey on to either become business partners, or even customers. Through that process so gave you the time of day to listen, 1 or 2 maybe signed up as partners, and if lucky you gained a few customers. Great!....so now that is over, what do you do now?

This is the biggest challenge for Network Marketers is keeping fresh leads to call upon to boost your business. Unfortunately, once you have been through that process your upline in most cases is struggling with the same process. So what you will generally get is the "canned" advice of talking to any and everyone that you can (3-Foot Rule).

What Do You Recommend?

Luckily you are reading this blog and I have some tools that you may find silly, but trust me do it because it works. When I say that it works, it is a way for your to reach a large volume of people that works better than walking on foot talking to any and everyone.

Posted Notes

The first recommendation that I have is using posted notes to get leads and post them all over town (approximately 100). You can take about 100 yellow posted notes, then get some mailing stickers personalized with a pitch message on it. The mailing sticker could read, "Superstars Only - Willing to make $30-500K, producers ONLY and can prove it. Contact me at 555-555-5555 or email@email.com" Take those stickers and put them on each posted note, then post them in high traffic areas in town. Not saying that you will get 80 calls back but at least 20-30. My advice would be to utilize a Google voice account or some other voicemail service for those leads to leave messages.

Contest Box

This is another high traffic area tool that can be utilized to create a win/win situation for you and your potential lead. You can create a box to collect business cards for a drawing of gift card, gift certificate, or a sample of one of your products for your business. If you go into any restaurant or gym you will see these set up all over town. This is another tool that works, and gives you many leads that you can call upon. The good thing about this is that you know that you are getting mostly professionals because of the aspect of getting a business card. These are people that you generally want in your business because they are go-getters.

Real Estate Signs

You have probably been driving all over town and have passed by hundreds of real estate agent signs. Unless you are personally in the market for a home you probably will not even notice it. Well after you have finished reading this you should make a point to look for them. Real Estate Agents understand the commissions and making sales. If you call them to discuss residual income they will definitely have an interest. During your pitch one of the key things that you have in your back pocket is the crash of the real estate marketing in 2008. Many of those agents lost homes, worked part-time jobs outside the industry, and had the worst years of the careers. Those that are smart will take a serious look at Network Marketing because they are front line with customers and can really be successful. Put this to practice by being away of those sings on the side of the road. Jot down the agents name and phone number then call.

I hope that these tips has served of some value for you and you can put these into practice. We did not go into closing once you have the lead on the phone, stay tuned for that blog coming up tomorrow.

To your success,
