MLM Success - The MLM 7 Figure Business Plan? What’s That?

The path to MLM Success has a dark side to it.

MLM SuccessIt’s usually not spoken about because it is so negative but we all know the ugly word is there. It’s called “Attrition”. So what exactly is it that leads distributors to embrace an MLM opportunity with the passion of a true believer and then a few months later, they are gone, disappeared into the “Black Hole” of network marketing. Well in a word, frustration…. We have all been there of course as we try to achieve success in the world of MLM. Now what can be frustrating about Network Marketing? It seems so simple really, just talk to a few who talk to a few who talk to a few and suddenly we have on organization of 20,000 distributors and we are making $10,000 a month. What could be more simple or fun? I mean we have all been to the opportunity meetings and company events where they parade out the latest MLM success story and they make is seem so darn easy! So why the frustration? Sometimes it’s the follow up calls and the endless chasing of prospects who at times seem to be brain dead. I mean we have a great MLM opportunity to show them, what is their problem, why can’t they just open their eyes and see it? I mean really….. Sometimes it just makes you wonder, if we are we the only intelligent person left on the entire planet? You know you have been there, that’s the discussion going on inside your head as you relentlessly pick up the phone day after day and hammer it trying to achieve MLM success, or maybe you just part of that other group that just sits there and stares at the phone trying to muster the courage to do it one more time. Well we know the cure, a quick call to our upline leader and after they tell us about how many zeros are on their latest check we are back at it again. That is until the 2nd most insidious obstacle in the world of MLM success attacks and this beast takes no prisoners. Doubt….. So what’s wrong with us? Is it some kind of genetic defect?

Are we missing the critical MLM success gene?

Maybe we are just not destined for the big money and MLM success and the vacations and the…. OK, just stop it! Look building any business is hard and especially one with the type of upside income potential that Network Marketing has, but what really helps is to understand what you are doing before you start. To map out an actual business plan that can actually get you to your goals.  

The path to MLM Success

  Most people start into their journey of MLM success with absolutely no business plan other than making a list of their friends and family and maybe chasing people down in grocery stores. They have no idea of how to develop a “7 Figure Business Plan” for MLM success and the sad thing is their upline doesn’t either. So how do you develop a “MLM 7 Figure Business Plan”? First you need to understand what it really takes to achieve MLM success, and also the illusion and traps that most people fall into. The illusion is what we see when we go to company events and they parade the latest MLM success story up on the stage who proceeds to tell you how magically easy the business is, and their success is usually based on just talking to a few friends who talked to a few and then…. Presto, the big checks just start appearing! The truth is that their success in finding a bunch of dead serious business builders from just a few prospects was pure luck. The sad part of this is that there are so many people out trying to build a successful Network Marketing business based on luck. Now if you want to base a business on fact, then marketing teaches us that the more people we talk to the luckier we get. So if you want to ensure your MLM success, you have to treat MLM like a real business and develop a marketing system that allows you to develop a large enough number of leads that you just can’t miss. Now all approaches to MLM lead generation work to some extent, so that tends to be the confusing part,  but the success of low volume approaches like working your warm market are based on the assumption that you have a 1% Percenter lurking there somewhere. That’s someone who will come in and explode your organization, and there very well could be, but the chances are there’s not, and the time it takes to use low volume approaches to build an MLM business, it pretty much guarantees it will probably take you years if ever go reach your goals and achieve the MLM success you are after. So if you are looking for massive MLM success, you need massive activity, and you generate that by using high volume marketing approaches. Using high volume approaches allows you to generate such a high volume of numbers that you can’t miss finding the dead serious people.

The high volume MLM success formula really has 4 basic elements

1. A way to generate a high volume of traffic, a supply of leads that keeps flowing to you on a consistent daily basis. 2. A sifting tool that allows you to automatically separate the prospects from the suspects 3. A presentation format and 4. A follow up strategy Today the real key to the Traffic formula is going online. It was recently reported there are over 1.7 billion people online as of Sept of 2009. Imagine for a moment just begin able to reach out and tap just a small fraction of that traffic and direct it to your MLM business. Petty exciting isn’t it! Now that you know the illusions of the MLM business and a basic idea of where you want to go, I need to tell you that there are two potential challenges to achieving that MLM success you desire. Number 1 is that you need to close that knowledge gap of understanding and learn how to generate  internet lead traffic, and you are also going to need a MLM marketing system, websites, and e mail auto-responders to effectively process it. Now forget trying to do this on your own, it’s too complicated and will take too much time. The solution to problem 1 is to simply use an “out of the box” MLM online marketing system such as My Lead System Pro, it’s kind of like a combination of an internet marketing university and an online marketing system.

My Lead System Pro

 
// The training portal of the system will provide you with an in depth MLM Marketing Training were you will learn the skills of tapping into the online traffic flow using fairly simple MLM marketing approaches such as social media marketing that use Facebook, Twitter and My Space, or even using the more advanced marketing approaches such as Article Marketing, Video Marketing, or my favorite, Pay Per Click advertising. Once you have learned some basic MLM lead generation skills then you will be ready to use the online marketing system which will give you an online presence to drive the traffic to, including websites, lead capture portals, and a customer management system using follow up e mail auto-responders to help maintain contact with your prospects. With these systems, you don’t have to be a computer wiz since all of this has already been pretty much pre configured. Now to successfully build a business organization in network marketing you are going to have to use your new marketing knowledge to drive traffic to your website. I coach my students to have as their initial target 10 MLM leads a day. That will give you about 300 leads a month and once you gain some experience you should be able to recruit 3% to 5% of that traffic into your MLM business, which will give you on average about 10 distributors a month. Now what do you think 10 distributors a month in your Network Marketing business would do for your bank account? Now if you are working a “Standard MLM”  as opposed to a “Top Tier MLM”, then your “7 Figure Business Plan” for success is to sponsor 10 reps a month, of which on average 5 are going to go to sleep on you or drop out within a few months,  5 will do the business at some level and 2 of those will be your 20% Percenters. Focus your support on your 20% Percenters to get them up and running, and then do it again next month, get the 10, find the 5, indentify the 2, and then do it again and again. Rinse and Repeat, Rinse and Repeat. Over the course of a year you should be able to generate about 24 or so 20% Percenters who will actually be doing the business and duplicating you efforts and you will start to see your income steadily increase. Now you actually have a business and can probably look to the kind of income you were hoping for in 12 to 18 months or so. What you say?  I was told I could get full time income in 6 months? Sorry, that s the business plan based on luck. This is the real world of achieving success in a Standard MLM. Keep in mind that in a Standard MLM your success is dependent on building a very large organization, and it’s going to take a team of several thousand distributors in your MLM downline to generate a monthly income of several thousand dollars a month. So even when you learn the Online MLM Marketing skills to become a high volume recruiter, it still takes time to get the duplication going. But look, any business worth building is worth taking the time to build. Compared to what it takes to achieve high level success in traditional business, MLM success can be pretty quick. Now there are business models that can be used to generate the income more quickly, such as Top Tier MLM where you can achieve full time income in 3 to 6 months using a GPT Model,  as opposed to 12 to 18 in a Standard MLM, so if getting to a certain income level in a certain period of time is a critical factor for you then start examining some alternative business models. For now, start with the basics you are going to need to start your “7 figure business plan” by learning how to market, and step on to the path of true MLM success.

When I first started using online marketing systems I generated over 3000 leads, sponsored over 50 new reps and generated over $30,000 in affiliate commissions in just a few months. For a inside look at some of these powerful marketing strategies check out my free Video Training Bootcamp

Why Your Upline Hates Online

So your upline told you that  all that “Online MLM Marketing” stuff doesn’t work. Humm….. MLM Marketing What is it a about Online MLM Marketing and lead generation that really tends to annoy upline leaders in the world of traditional network marketing. I am talking about those leaders in the MLM upline who are supposed to be there to support and encourage you to higher levels of performance. I mean it seems kind of strange since if you learn a new skill like Online MLM marketing that will ultimately make you a power recruiter capable of bringing multiple new team members to the table every month, it would obviously boost their check. So it should make them really excited right? Wrong. So why do they fear and hate it? There are actually some pretty good reasons. The biggest one  is of course that they fear what they do not know or understand.  They are a MLM leader and of course they can’t advise you on what they don’t know. I have been there also, with 23 years of MLM marketing experience I have worked with and trained a lot of distributors and I know the annoyed feeling you get when some rebellious downline veers off on a tangent with some odd ball idea. I wrote about this in my review on Attraction Marketing. It was this same circumstance that caused me to investigate generating MLM leads through online MLM approaches using the attraction marketing model and sent me headlong down the rabbit hole into the world of Online MLM marketing. However it’s not always just a lack of understanding that tick’s them off, there are many people who are Network Marketing leaders who actually do understand a little about Online MLM marketing and they are still negative on it. So what’s the deal with them? Well to put it simply they fear “evolution”. Yes I know that statement probably did not make any sense to you. What does evolution have to do with network marketing? Well of course I am not talking about monkeys becoming men, but rather the natural evolution of your Network Marketing business model once someone becomes involved in the world of Online MLM marketing. Especially when it involves “funded proposals” and “affiliate marketing” as discussed in the Magnetic Sponsoring Course Maybe evolution is not the correct word here.  It’s more like a shift in perception.  

Online MLM Marketing – A Change Of Focus

  You see in the world of traditional MLM marketing we go out and spend our time branding the company, the “Mother Ship” so to speak, as the end all be all of all opportunities. If you have been in Network Marketing before you know this marketing focus well. We position the company as the chance of a lifetime, that unique opportunity that will change your life and your finances forever, and all we have to do is recognize the sheer magnetite of the opportunity and hitch our proverbial wagons to the deal and our financial success is assured. Wow, I really wish it was that simple but of course you know it’s not. So let’s talk evolution  

Online MLM Marketing – Branding

  Once an Network Marketer becomes involved in Online MLM marketing they quickly learn that you don’t brand the company, or even lead with your MLM company, rather you brand yourself. The Online MLM marketing focus is generic, never mentions the company, and focuses instead on giving your prospect useful tools to help them be successful in the pursuit of their MLM business with whatever company they are with. You brand yourself as kind of a MLM marketing coach. Now if you are brand new to Online MLM marketing and you feel your current level of skill does not qualify you as coach material, then you brand yourself as a messenger of opportunity but the opportunity here is leaning Online MLM marketing.   So there is a major shift in focus away from your primary Network Marketing company.   Now the goal of your Online MLM lead generation effort is in fact the same, you want to sponsor people into your network marketing company, but you lead with an online MLM marketing system as the front end product and market your primary MLM company as a back end product once you have developed a relationship with your prospect. You get many more leads this way, and you become a much better recruiter for your MLM because once you have developed a relationship with your prospects, they now know you and trust you and are much more willing to listen to what you have to say about your deal. Now as you push leads through your Online MLM marketing system you begin to generate a cash flow from your lead generation efforts by using a “funded proposal” and exposing your leads to various affiliate offers for training or tools that have to do with Online MLM marketing success. So there you are after a few months or so generating leads and your Online MLM marketing business is throwing off a cash flow from your affiliate offers, and oh yes you are now sponsoring more people into your primary MLM company than you probably ever have before. But wait now the real shift occurs, as you become successful you begin to realize that it’s really not the company that is the golden opportunity, the power is in the marketing. You slowly start to realize that you could be successful with any MLM company you choose. Now the ultimate shift occurs. Most Online MLM marketing and lead generation systems such as My Lead System Pro  have multiple affiliate income streams built into them, and so you get checks from several companies each month. Then one day as you are opening up your checks, it just kind of hits you…… the “Ah-Ha” moment! You realize that your primary MLM company is really nothing more than just another affiliate income stream. True it’s probably the only one that has a residual income stream attached to it, but still its only one more business income stream that you now measure by an entirely different yardstick. The spell is broken….. Need an instant recap? You see in the past all the power was vested in the network marketing company, in the deal to end all deals, we were simply the messenger of opportunity and our mission was to spread the word about this once in a lifttime…… Yada Yada Yada….. Once you realize that the power is in your ability to bring leads and recruits to the table without ever mentioning the company and that you have the power to put them in any deal you choose….. Well let’s just say it’s a sobering moment. So back to the original issue.

Why does your upline hate Online MLM marketing?

Now you know, it removes the spell of control and you are no longer under their power. Look you are an asset, a  foot soldier in the battle of financial independence.  Having an army that does not blindly follow you is a problem for a leader. They realize that they no longer have any control over you at all. That if the company future does not play out the way you want, you can leave and have your choice of multiple other MLM opportunities, and you are going to take your group with you. Let’s face it there is no lack of companies or opportunity in the MLM universe. This is exactly what you see with top Network Marketing leaders who build huge organizations, they are not totally dependent on any company, because the power is in their skill and they have an army behind them which they could move to any company they might choose. The bottom line here? Being a top recruiter gives you incredible power, it’s worth the learning curve. And once you are on the path, take out that yardstick and start measuring. Now one final point here, you have probably heard that evolution is a constant process, not a static event. I will point out that this distributor mindset evolution does not necessarily stop here. It can also carry people from working with Standard MLM’s into the world of  Top Tier MLM but that is another story for another time.

Wait! Is That A $100 Bill Laying At Your Feet? - MLM Marketing With Money!

mlm marketingOnce upon a time in the distant past of my MLM marketing career I actually paid people to become prospects.
Well maybe I should rephrase that, my prospecting approach was that I offered them money.
Humm......
Still not coming out right.
Right now you are probably thinking, "well of course Marc, I could get lots of prospects if I paid them money to listen to me".  Well how about if I showed you a way to actually do that, but without actually paying them.  
Look money talks, and of course it's a great way to get someone's attention.
Think of it this way, if you walked into a crowded restaurant and threw a wad of $100 bills into the air, you would probably get everyone's attention right? Well of course, "money talks" and its a really great show stopper and attention getter.  Enough suspense? OK, here are the details.  

MLM Marketing With Money

It's a marketing approach called "Drop Cards" or "Dollar Card Marketing"
You may have seen these before, they are a printed card and they look just like a folded $100 bill, and on the inside you print promotional language like..........
"Stop" 
"You May Be Walking Past A Foutune" 
"Earn $10,000 Per Month in 90 days or less......."
Call 1-305-555-1212
(24 hour Recorded Message)
Now back in the day when I had my first huge MLM success, I had armies of people using this approach, and you know what?
It works......... and it still does today! The Key To Effective MLM Marketing? Always Use High Volume Approaches The key here of course is volume, you print them on really light weight paper (not like a business card) and then put them everywhere, drop them by the thousands, the ten thousands everywhere you go.
  • Parking lots
  • Grocery Stores
  • The Beach (that was my favorite) 
  • Everywhere
The best part is that its really fun just to watch how people respond. 
I have seen people chase one of these across a parking lot at a full gallop, talk about a marketing hook! Now you have to plug the phone number inside into a voice mail with a sizzle message about your business but I am sure you can figure that out. Anyway ... check it out
To your success

What Does A $35 Million Dollar Bankruptcy Have To Do With MLM Success?

mlm successWe all know the old saying
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is..........
That is of course except in the cases where it actually is true.
Quick story here, about my Bankruptcy.........
Humm you weren't expecting that were you. How can a million dollar earner in the MLM world every have gone through bankruptcy?
Well since I never do things half way I have to tell you it was a $35 million bankruptcy.  Back in the days before MLM, when I make my fortune by putting together real estate partnerships, things were going really well. I had make almost 5 million in my last five years in my real estate business and was approaching my 30th birthday and was going to retire. Then BAM! The real estate market crashed in the mid 1980's and I went down like a ton of bricks (pun intended) I was devastated and wiped out in a heartbeat. I went through a $35 million dollar bankruptcy and just sat there paralyzed and depressed for a while, but I knew that there was no way back, I had to re-invent myself and find a way back to the good life again.

The Journey To MLM Success

That is when I ran into the concept of Network Marketing Now I have to tell you that I went into network marketing because there were just no other options available. Actually is was worse than that, I did not believe that the money that successful people claimed to be making in network marketing was real. To me the entire concept screamed of fraud, fake, and scam........... It just seemed too good to be true, there was just no way that someone working out of their home by themselves could make $100,000 a month. NO WAY!  I resisted for a long time but finally was out of options and stopped resisting for a moment and actually took a look at the business model and said BUT WHAT IF IT IS REAL? That one simple thought set me on a track of possibilities that finally opened my mind and I ended up getting involved in network marketing and within about 2 1/2 years I was earning over $1.5 million a year. I thank God that I opened my mind to the possibility that what seemed to good to be true, was actually true. The question is will you? 

MLM Success Today

Now knowing what is actually true in today's marketing can be confusing. I mean before the advent of the internet we looked for validation in an entirely different way, we looked for photocopied check copies showing huge incomes and proof of MLM success, we looked for full color professionally done brochures, we looked for an actual company headquarters made of brick. If we could touch it and feel those bricks and the brochures looked good we felt that there was money and substance behind it, and it probably was real. Today it's a different world, with the advent of the internet its hard to tell what's real and what is fantasy or what is pure fraud. Today we look at sexy websites and they all look good, even if its a 15 year old kid trying to put on a good show, and the variations of the Standard MLM business models have tested the limits of our understanding. I mean you could write a book on just MLM compensation plans: Unilevel (Nuskin Review)  Matirx, Binary, Hybrid Binary (eXfuze, Mona Vie), Top Tier MLM Wealthmasters, Hybrid Top Tier MLM (Empower Network, Family IQ) and the list goes on. Lets face it, there are several thousand Home Based business opportunities launched every year and as enterprising entrepreneurs looked for better and better ways to slice up the income pie and better ways to lure burned out MLM'ers back into the fold, they have tested the limits of our understanding of what used to be 4 or 5 basic business models, and that's just in the MLM universe. Throw into the mix the world of online marketing, and the ability to generate full time income with an online sales model that is not even MLM, and it gets even more confusing, and make no mistake about it, there is big money to be made on the internet just selling stuff. Top online marketers today earn $10 Million to $20 Million a year! What is a poor entrepreneur to do?  Stick with the original business model of MLM Success or move on to a Hybrid Model of online income? Well in the fast paced and confusing and sometimes fraudulent world of "Make Money Online" its more important than ever to link yourself to an expert who can access and review  the business models from a higher level of understanding and perhaps keep you from making a fatal financial mistake. Case in point Zeek Rewards, a recent MLM hybrid company in the world of Online Reverse auctions (see Zeek Rewards Review) had such a seductive lure they amassed, by some estimates, over a million distributors  in a heartbeat and then suddenly they were gone, leaving in their wake devastated MLM distributors and losses in the hundreds of millions. Who would have guessed? Who would have known?  Well, a good  MLM Success coach who knew the market and who had looked at the business model would have known enough to tell you to run the other way. Now I am not trying to say "stick with what you know", and trust the relative safety of a 15 to 40 year old MLM company, that path of MLM success may or may not be a good one for you. MLM success in today's market is different than it was 25 years ago, what brought success then is now ancient history, and traditional old style MLM companies tend to be a revolving door in today's transitional market. Of course that model is safe, but it may not be what you really need if your goal is to get to the magical $10,000 a month in the next 90 days. Also keep in mind that just because you are looking at a new and unique business model does not mean that its a scam, or not real, there are some highly unusual business models in the world of MLM success today that no longer fit any pattern you know of but still represent pretty killer deals. My advice is to..................
  1. Determine a company's success by seeing how quickly other reps and generating the income (not the leaders but the foot soldiers)
  2. Look at the product to determine if its real and actually has value
  3. Determine how quickly the business model can get you to your goal within your time limit. 
  4. Does it rely on duplication or is it more of an input output equation? (This is a huge area for mistakes)
  5. Does it fit your risk profile?
  6. Be skeptical when doing your review try to find the flaws
  7. Now Reverse your thinking and think of it from the standpoint of "What if it is for real"?
  8. Finally, before making the final jump, get some advice from a coach who knows the market.  (If you were going to buy a business for $500,000 would you hire an attorney to check out the deal? I think so! However the average person feels totally qualified to make a business assessment on something that they know little about and are going to pour all their time into without any professional advice)
Now keep in mind that even if you do your analysis correctly and get coaching advice from a MLM Pro, the vision of the future seen in a crystal ball is never perfect. If something goes wrong and the business model does not work, move on. Don't just sit there and say "Oh my god", get back up dust yourself off and try again. Too many people craw into a hole and hide after suffering some failure or vow never to do MLM again. Remember what that great success coach Tony Robbins says: "A persons success lies in their ability to take action" Successful people fail also, but they also know that they will ultimately succeed as long as they take action and move forward. There is a great book called "The Greatest Salesman in the World" by Og Mandino, get that book and read chapter 10 on "Persistence" , no better yet memorize it! Become Unstoppable.............

MLM Online vs. Old School MLM Marketing - Time To Bury The Dead?

I am in a mastermind group of MLM online marketers and a few weeks ago they asked me to do a webinar for theMLM Online members on old school MLM marketing approaches. I cringed a little when they asked me, and I thought good grief, this is like being sent back to high school when you are already in graduate school and loving it. I guess I was the logical choice for this “punishment” assignment since I have been in the Network Marketing industry for over 23 years and of course spent years developing, refining, and using a lot of those same MLM marketing approaches. Everything from business warm market contacts, fax broadcasting, e mail marketing, voice broadcasting, situational marketing, resume database mining, opportunity business cards, yard signs, fish bowl marketing, public speaker approach, infomercial marketing, and the list goes on and on. Heck, as much as I hate to admit it, what can I say, those MLM marketing approaches work. In fact I used those same approaches to become a 7 figure earner in MLM over 20 years ago.

MLM Online Marketing vs Old School MLM

  But I struggled to figure out how they really fit into the modern much more streamlined world of MLM online marketing and lead generation today. Of course the confusing thing about Network Marketing is that just about every approach to MLM lead generation works to some extent. But why even bother with the old school MLM marketing approaches when you have much more powerful solutions available today that use technology to supercharge the process. It’s like having two cars in your garage, a Ferrari and a budget subcompact. Of course they will both do the job of getting you from A to B,  but once you have  had your hands on the wheel of the Ferrari? Oh Baby! It’s no contest. Well maybe or maybe not. I guess a better analogy would probably be playing golf. The driver is the power tool and is going to get you the farthest the fastest but it’s not always the right tool for the job. Then it hit me, one of those “Ah Ha” moments and I realized that there is a perfectly good reason to keep the old school MLM marketing approaches in your arsenal no matter how powerful your MLM online marketing skills are. Now before you think I have lost my mind since I am in fact a prophet of MLM online lead generation, I want you to think about a few things. Reason #1 Quicker Startup in building your Primary Network Marketing Business Most people who start MLM online marketing end up coming down with what I call old school amnesia and immediately forget everything they knew about what worked for them in the past and try to totally change business models.

I have seen this time and time again with new converts to the world of MLM online marketing and of course it does cause a certain “stall” factor.

Let’s face it MLM online marketing is a skill that has to be learned the same way someone initially learned old school MLM marketing approaches. Now some are quicker than others but still it’s going to take a little time to learn, tweek, and then implement. Then it takes time to get your MLM online lead generation up to 10 a day, then 25 a day, then 50 a day and so on. It can take a new person a few months to really get cranking and get the lead flow up to lets say 25 a day (magic happens at that number by the way). So in the meantime wouldn’t it make more sense to keep your pipeline full by continuing to do what you have always done even if it was not as efficient just to keep the wheels of your MLM business turning? There is also an equally powerful reason to add the old school MLM marketing approaches to your marketing arsenal. Reason #2 To Create a growth explosion in your group (The Big Al Theory) There was a series of books I read many years ago back in the Dark Ages of the network marketing industry (back when you bought actual paper books and studied doing things like Don Faila’s famous “Napkin Presentations”). These books were called The Big Al series and were written about the teachings of a fictitious MLM upline called obviously, “Big AL. In one of the books he talked about using “Non-Duplicatable” marketing approaches to build a huge front line and then provide your team with “Duplicatable Approaches” to grow. Now I know that in the world of “Old School” MLM business development,  its heresy to even consider using any approach that is not 100% duplicatable by your organization because the “Standard” (as opposed to Top Tier) Network Marketing Business Model relies on duplication. The higher your duplication factor the quicker you get to the money. However the point the book made was that you could create an explosion in your MLM organization by using whatever unique marketing angle you wanted along with your personal skills to sponsor a ton of reps as long as you gave them duplicatable approaches they could use once they were in the game. The idea was “Go Wide Fast” and then push depth from a massive front line. You see, it does not matter how you bring someone in, what matters is that you give them marketing options, show them a track to run on that will get them into action ASAP. So even if you are doing strictly MLM online marketing and you get really good at it, you need to have options for those you sponsor who can’t master the online approach and as an add on for those in your downline who are learning online marketing so they can keep their pipeline full. So here is my recommendation.

Use MLM online marketing with at least 2-3 other offline or crossover approaches to keep diversified

Then adjust the time spent on marketing approaches based on lead flow. When your online lead flow starts to kick off, drop back on other approaches as necessary, but always keep your pipeline full. It always a good idea to keep a certain amount of diversification in your lead generation efforts at all times Here are the core approaches that I always use:
  • MLM Online Marketing (PPC, Facebook, Twitter, Video Marketing, Article Marketing)
  • COI Business Warm Market (not friends & family)
  • Online Advertising – Careerbuilder, Monster, etc
  • Resume Database Mining– Hotjobs
  • Voice Broadcasting to specific B2B (business to business) markets
My 7 figure business plan has always had 2 very important elements, high volume and diversification. For more detail on these approaches (and a few dozen others) the recorded webinar I did for the group is below.
