Recruiting in the Digital Age

I just read a great article on twitter about effective online recruiting, and I must say it does highlight one way that you could get you multi level marketing/ network marketing business up and running with new recruits fairly quickly. We cannot underestimate the power of using social media, like Facebook, Twitter, instagram, and even youtube to get the message out there that you exist and so does a great mlm business. For instance, you can make a quick 2 minute video about what brought you into the business and post it, and within 24 - 48 hours you can have as many as 100 people watch that video. Powerful. You can share on Facebook that you are looking for a few motivated people to join you in your business, and have 2 - 4 inquiries come in through you messenger app on your phone. Bottom line, using social media can greatly effect your recruiting techniques and help you find quality people that are actually looking for an opportunity to join your mlm business.

Power of Negative Thinking

Just read a very interesting article about the power of negative thinking that completely turns the idea of positive thinking on it's head. The article talked about the fact that positive thinking may lead you to feel worse about yourself than negative thinking. At first, I was a little skeptical because I am all about being a positive thinker. I am probably one of the most positive thinkers you will meet. The more I read though, it kind of made sense.

The study went like this: They put two groups of overweight people in two different rooms, and had them write about how they felt about themselves and their weight. In one of the rooms the overweight people would hear a bell ring every couple of minutes. They were told that when they hear that bell, to tell themselves phrases like, "I am thin", "I am beautiful", "I am not overweight", "I look good to others". The other test group was told to say negative things about themselves like "I am fat", "I don't look good to others", "I am overweight". After 1 hour both test groups emerged. It turns out that test group that said the positive affirmations when the bell rang, wrote very negative things about themselves. The group that spoke negative affirmations had very positive things to say about themselves.

Why did this happen? Turns out that when we speak things into ourselves that we absolutely know it's not true, we tend to react in a negative way. We are an argumentative species. If someone tells me that I sound like a Democrat, I will react very negatively, and uphold my deep conviction that I am Republican. If someone tries to complement me and say that I look thin when I am really overweight, subconsiously, I will adhere to my conviction, and internally battle what was just told to me, because I know it's not a true statement of myself.

I will be looking into this further and give you my opinion in later articles. I think there is some truth to this, and I need to see how we can apply this to our everyday life, especially in the area of recruiting techniques. Multi level marketing is very much a psychological game. We need to sharpen our recruiting techniques everyday.

Just got done training my recruits!!

Just had an awesome training with 6 of my brand new recruits. We discussed, among other things, recruiting, the lifeblood of our business. When you have mastered the art of recruiting 90 people in days, the real fun is when you actually start teaching your downlines how to do it. This is where my business exploded! Imagine if you have 10 downlines that are half as good as you are. Ten downlines, recruiting 15 people per month. That is 150 people per month getting recruited into your business. It's not rocket science.

Today I want to speak to you about your daily schedule. If you truly want to be successful in recruiting, you have to manage your time for the first year. If you do, then you will quickly be on your to financial independence. From 9:00am to 12:00 pm you should be doing nothing but leaving messages (message script will follow later), lunch from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm. Interviews with your prospects will begin from 1:30 pm to about 5:00 pm. Go home at 5:30 pm and spend some time with your family until 7:00 pm. From 7:30 pm to about 9:00 pm you should be in the field doing sales. Follow this regimen for one year, and teach your downlines to do so, and you should be well on your way to financial independence within one year.

P.S. - I have place a comment box on my website, if you'd like to ask me some questions about my techniques

Strangers are easier to recruit!!!

Most MLM companies will tell you to create a top 50 list of your fiends and family that you should contact to recruit into your business. That may work for some people, however it never got me anywhere. The reason is, you have no credibility. Have your friends or family ever seen you go into business for yourself? Do you already have the nice car and nice house that you are telling them they can have if they join your business? Have you ever done anything similar to what you are doing and had some success with it? I am not trying to degrade what you are doing, but I want you to have 90 Recruits in 90 Days and the only way to do this is to temporarily scrap the top 50 list. You will call the top 50 list later on, but not right now.

In the next several blogs I will teach some of the techniques that are highlighted in my book "90 Recruits in 90 Days - Guaranteed!" There is a goldmine sitting at your fingertips of people that are waiting for your phone call. Imagine an umlimited source of potential recruits that perhaps could be calling you. That goldmine is the COLD MARKET. If you work the cold market right, you will soon find that people are actually calling you to join your MLM business, especially in this down economy. There is a way to do if you follow some simple steps. Stay tuned for more!
