We are in a new world. Who said that the network marketing system involved only Amway? Today, direct sellers no longer go a-knocking from one to door to another, rather, they are now selling from living room to living room, amidst parties and workshops where potential customers abound.

Truly, the term “sociable” has new meanings – from the World Wide Web to direct selling - it has allowed collaborative work and in the case of mlm companies, an approximated $32.18 billion in sales in 2006 from $22.21 billion in 1997, with the median income currently estimated at $2,400 a year.

According to the direct selling association, this increase in sales can be associated to the new lead generation system used by several companies today. With the busy work schedule of most people today, it’s always the social engagement that’s being sacrificed in lieu of a deadline or work-related activities. For people who are engaged with direct selling, they no longer have to cancel appointments with family and friends since they can now earn their income while hanging out with the people they’d love to be with. But this isn’t the only advantage of “socialized” direct selling.

Getting into a relaxing atmosphere can help set the mood and will allow direct sellers to more sales. We all know how important it is to be able to shop in a comfortable environment. We also know how important it is to get a second opinion when buying anything – that‘s why we always bring a close friend or a relative to give us advice on how new clothes fit us, or if a new beauty product is worth the money to spend. So why go to the mall if you shop in peace at home while talking to your mother on the phone and watching the kids swim? If you are the direct seller, why go door-to-door when you can actually sit in your friend’s living room talking about the benefits of the product you are selling and at times exchanging juicy rumors?  Convenience and familiarity – these are the two most important factors to be considered when working on your multi level marketing opportunity.

In network marketing, the very first thing you would have to think of is on how to develop an automatic MLM prospecting system which can be summed up into these words: MLM lead generation. A popular way to do this is through viral marketing, which is a technique in marketing aimed to promote brand awareness and increase it through social networks. Viral marketing can help in automatic MLM prospecting or MLM lead generation either through the so called word of mouth or a popular medium nowadays which is the Internet.

Viral marketing motivates people to spread the marketing message not in a forced way but voluntarily. Activities such as creating E-books, sending text messages, creating interactive flash games, are just a few examples of viral marketing activities that improves MLM lead generation and may also be a tool in MLM downline retention because downlines who see that the network marketing firm has a more popular brand would be more motivated to work hard and stick with the program.

Automatic MLM prospecting can be produced by viral marketing because the more “popular” a campaign is, the more people would be interested in joining. We also have to remember that psychology plays an important part in viral marketing wherein people would like to be “in” with the crowd and so if word of mouth spreads that a particular network marketing business is successful or gains more profit, then dozens and dozens of interested people would sign up.

Today, the Internet has been the most used viral marketing medium and a lot of network marketers have found success in terms of automatic MLM prospecting, MLM lead generation, MLM downline retention, etc. through utilizing online tools and programs. If you would want to start or join a network marketing business, apply the viral marketing techniques mentioned and see the difference they would make.

Make a list of your friends and relatives, identify 5 or 10 that you feel more comfortable talking to them about you MLM business and after we do rehears the phone script will go on calling them to close some appointments if we can. How many new distributors hear that phrase every day? And how many it has destroyed by now?

I don’t know exactly, but I bet many. In fact I would go and guess the majority of them. That single phrase is responsible for bringing a bad name to the network marketing industry and conditioned people to avoid it at all costs. In fact to many the word multilevel marketing it has became synonym to scam and fraud.

But besides all the negatives that it brings it is still repeated by many even in this Internet era that the web changes the way we get information and do business. Indeed, prospecting to your warm market is business as usual and nothing seems to touches the reality they created to live in. (more…)

How do we get people clamoring to join our network marketing opportunity? Once we have established trust with them, how can we get to the heart of why they would want to participate?

We all remember how keen we were to get started once we saw the ideal opportunity. And we have our reasons for why we are doing it. Previously I have mentioned that the second greatest reason people do not join us is our failure to establish a need.

And then there is the other reason of failing to provide a solution.

If we do not establish a need then we are most unlikely to be able to provide a solution.

Our reason for getting involved, and it may have grown or changed over time, can often seem the reason someone else should get involved. But if it does not resonate with them then it is most unlikely to move them.

If we can move people, they are more likely to come with us. And they are also more likely to stay involved. It comes from their deep desires.

I have heard great presentations that cause tremendous emotion that can move me at the time. But the next day it has evaporated.

Have you had that experience too with your prospects?

But if it relates to a heart felt need, then people will buy into the network marketing business so much more strongly.

How can we do this?

Well we could assume we know why someone would get in and present from that viewpoint. I have done that. But if I have assumed wrongly, then I will not connect. You know that glazed look?

Or, I might assume correctly. But in telling someone something about themselves rather than letting them discover it for themselves, I usually encounter some resistance.

If I give them a choice about them telling me about what motivates them and why, then I am much more likely to "have their ear" and be able to lead them along with the ideal solution.

So what are the 10 main reasons people would have to join our mlm business?

1. Extra Income
Many people these days need some extra money to meet the rising costs of food, petrol, interest rates etc. They would love to have a way to achieve this. If they enjoy their current job but would like something a little extra, then this could be a great opportunity.

2. Financial Freedom
This is a reason many people get in. And in many presentations I hear this seems to be presumed, along with #1 above as about the only ones people could have. We may well be attracting these people. But what about all those with other motivations out there?

3. More Spare Time
Again this is another major benefit I hear people talking about. So I guess it is the big three! People would love to spend time with their kids, loved ones and others. They would love to be able to spend more time than their current main job or jobs leave them.

4. Personal Development
I cannot remember anyone I know getting involved around me for this. And a lot of people you talk to in network marketing feel this is one real benefit. It certainly is necessary to get anywhere in most mlm opportunities. Why not give people this as a reason to get involved?

5. Helping Others
What about all those people out there who are busy in various volunteer organizations? For many this is a huge motivating factor for extra satisfaction in their life. Why not tap it? If it resonates with them, why would you not use it?

6. Meeting New People
Network marketing is a great place to meet people. Especially positive and motivated people. Our circle of friends has certainly grown massively with our involvement. It is across occupations, ages, religions and cultures. And there are many examples of people meeting their life partners in the business.

7. Retirement
With most people not saving enough to meet a reasonable retirement income, there are so many possibilities. At times we can assume that as people are getting older this might obviously be their main reason. We can assume this at our peril. If it isn't what motivates them, they are unlikely to see an opportunity.

8. Leave a Legacy
I have heard this as a reason with some people. They want to set up a legacy for generations of their family. And in a number of mlm opportunities this is a possibility. The idea that residual income will keep coming in for many years afterwards as long as the goods and services of the company continue to be purchased give security to many people with this desire.

9. Have Your Own Business
Being you own boss, not having to clock in and out, and getting the pay you feel you are worth rather than what someone else thinks you are worth is massively important to quite a few people. In fact I would have to say this is probably about the fourth in the above ideas that I hear given for why people would want to do an mlm home business.

10. To Pursue Your Heart's Desire or Dream
Many of us have made decisions in our late teenage years as to what we should pursue. Or we have felt we have to take on a certain occupation because that is where the money or openings are. And we do not follow what we would really love to do. Suddenly having the option to go after your heart can be liberating. It might not be necessary to follow network marketing to do so. Many have done well just following their heart. But many have felt they cannot move because they are locked in with mortgages and family responsibilities. If there was a way to get there without compromising their commitments, a number of people would chose this path.

So there are the ten motivating factors in people's lives.

How do you use it?

Ask your prospects what it is for them. Let them expose and explore this so you have all they reasons they want to follow this and what it would mean if they didn't and you will have so little resistance to a well presented opportunity you will not have to persuade them it is right for them.

And this applies equally in internet network marketing! Happy network marketing!

They say that the right questions give you the right answers, but do you make use of them when you talk or communicate with a prospect? Or you go about bombarding him with the presentation and the details of your MLM business with the only things being asked the typical questions just to be friendly and open him up?

If you really want to increase your chances of converting your prospect to a distributor you need to talk to him not only in a way that he can relate with you, but about what he wants to hear from you. What you would tell him is very important and is the thing that would determine whether he would decide to join you in your multilevel marketing business or not.

And the thing your prospect wants to hear from you is how your network marketing business would help him achieve what he wants. That’s right he only cares about himself and not about how great the company is or how awesome products you have and what you are going to do with your first one million dollars that you’ll make.

Are MLM prospecting systems really all that important?

Before we answer that question, let’s think about the importance of prospecting. Many people in the MLM business know that a steady flow of prospects is the lifeblood of your MLM business. MLM prospecting system enables you to make the whole process of getting a constant or even an endless flow of prospects to show your business in auto-pilot mode once you understand how the MLM prospecting system works. The learning process may be rocky and takes some effort but the outcome will be very rewarding once you get it running smoothly.

With a good MLM prospecting system running well, you could save an invaluable asset and a commodity that most people fall short of - time. Besides saving time, it can sort your prospects into those that are serious to work with you and the tire-kickers.

I can promise you won’t want the tire-kickers in your MLM business at all costs because they are just curious, don’t want to do work and can even kill businesses. However, you can’t afford to close them so it’s a good idea to divide these kinds of people out so you do not waste your time entertaining the wrong crowd.

Dream Team Formula automates the follow up system through the free tour page. So every new prospect is funneled through a series of pre-loaded autoresponder emails to ensure that you end up with only the most qualified prospects.

Lastly, a MLM prospecting system could be seen as insurance for your business and assurance for your prospects because it is easier for a new prospect to find success in MLM business if they have a successful and proven system to follow to gather their own prospects.
