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.

How to Recruit in MLM/Network Marketing

Everyone wants to over complicate recruiting in their MLM/Network Marketing business, when it is just so simple. Let's face it, the traditional way of recruiting your friends and family into your business simply DOES NOT WORK anymore. We live in an internet age where you are going to find more and more of your recruits by using such tools as twitter, craigslist, and facebook. If you use those sites correctly, you can see as many as 20 - 30 people joining your MLM/Network Marketing business per month!

I will explain those methods in another blog, but for right now let's talk about how to get you going right now. The common mistake is to approach all your friends and family, and try to recruit them into this new business opportunity that you've started. There are 2 challenges with doing that. Number one: Your friends and family know you for who you are, i.e. plumber, retail manager, construction worker, etc... If you try to approach them about starting a business, and you want them to come to a meeting, they are already thinking that you are up to something strange, since they have never known you to be a business owner. In other words, there is a lack of credibility, and probably will not show up. Number two: They haven't seen success in you yet. They've never seen you start a business, much less be successful at it. It's not like you're Donald Trump, and everything that you touch turns into gold. Recruiting your friends and family at first is the wrong way to do it.

My preferred method of recruiting is the cold market. I know that sounds very unconventional, and perhaps runs against what they taught you in the meetings, but it works! Why, you might ask? The cold market, or perfect strangers, have no idea who you are. They don't know your history, background, occupation, lifestyle, etc.. You are, to them, whoever you project to be. I am not saying to pretend to be somebody you're not. I am simply saying that you have a huge advantage when they are unaware of who you really are. In a weird way, you have instant credibility with strangers than you do with your own family and friends.

You might ask, how do I get in front of a cold market, or how do I recruit strangers? One of the methods I teach is leaving effective messages and texts on stranger's cell phones. Think about it, if you get a message or a text from somebody you don't know informing you of a carreer opportunity that someone had recomended you for, would you respond, if for nothing else to see what it was all about? What if you could send out hundred's of voicemails and text's everyday without violating the Federal Do-Not-Call list, and do it for free. Your phone would ring off the hook with legitimate prospects for your business opportunity. This was just one of the method's we used at Primerica, that helped our team recruit 40 - 50 people every month consistently for 5 years in a row! It works, and it's avery effective use of your time.

This is a powerful, and highly duplicatable way to recruit many people into your MLM business. For more information got http://90recruitsin90days.com

MLM Recruiting Techniques

Here's a good one! have you ever had a potential recruit ask you, "where do you get your clients from?" What they are really asking is "will I have to cold call?" or "will I have to approach my friends and family?" Here is a great way to respond to that: We get our clients 4 different ways: 1 one 1, 1 on 10, and 1 on 100. Let me explain: many times when people come on board with us they get so excited about the opportunity they start calling all their friends and family, and end up giving them way too much information, ultimately turning those people off. I absolutely forbid you to do that! I do not want you to contact a single person that you know without me going with you to show you how best explain this opportunity, that's what I mean by 1 on 1.

Sometimes people will want to invite many of their friends and family over, feed them, then give them an hour long presentation about the company. Again, do not do this without my presence, that's what we call 1 on 10. Next, a new person with us will want to do a seminar at their church or workplace. This is a great way to introduce this business, but again I want to be there to give the presentation. This is 1 on 100.

25 Recruits and Counting!

I am having one of the best months I've ever had in recruiting. I am at 25 recruits for the month, and I still have more to go. Of course these are team not personal recruits. Our best month ever was March of 2005, where we recruited 55 in one month!! My best month in personal recruiting was 14 in one month. The beauty of this recruiting system is, that it is highly duplicatable, and fairly fast to learn. Imagine for one moment that you are able to recruit 10 people (personally) into your MLM business, and you are able to teach 10 others to do the same, only suppose that they are half as good as you are. That means there is potential for you to recruit 60 people every month consistently. Now of course, this is a best case scenario, but hopefully you can see that 30 recruits in one month is very doable under this scenario. This is how I guarantee results in my book 90 recruits in 90 days - Guaranteed!

Unbelievable!!

Here it is, the 13th of the month and I am at 13 recruits!!! This is going to end up being a very good month. If you do the math, the way it looks right now, I'm on pace to recruit 30 people this month. However, in recruiting, my experience has been that for some reason, you will recruit most people on the last week of the month. When you start strong like I have this month there is potential to double your numbers. I am seriously looking at recruit 60 people this month alone! This when things get exciting. If you have questions for me, feel free to go to my website and make comments at the top of the home page! I will try my best to respond quickly.

The "Message"

Earlier in my blog I spoke about leaving at least 50 messages per day. A lot of you requested more insight on the message that I leave. Before I get into the wording of that message, I want to write about "the numbers game". Numbers are powerful. Have you heard of the Snuggie? It's a blanket that you wear. If the lady that invented that out of her house sold 100,000 blankets, her profit would be $1,900,000!! Just selling 100,000 blankets!! She has sold over 19,000,000!!! Do the math. She is using the law of large numbers. One of the reasons that people that read my book get 90 recruits in 90 days is because I teach a principle of the law of large numbers. One of the chapters gets into great detail about leaving messages. This allows you to cast a big net effortlessly. In three hours you can leave approx. 50 messages.

Here is the message that you will want to leave: "Hi this is ____________, I am trying to reach _________. Your name had come across my desk as someone I might be interested in talking to regarding a career opportunity with my company. You can reach me at ______________, and we can discuss the detail when call back. I look forward to hearing from you later". This is message guaranteed to work if you put the numbers to it! You will get calls with a message like that, especially in this economy. In later blogs I will tell you what to say when the prospects call you back.

Great day recruiting more people!!

I had a great day today. I recruited another person into my business. It never ceases to amaze me how, by following certain, simple, recruiting principles, you can recruit just about anyone you want to in your MLM business. It is so simple it's actually difficult for people to understand. You see, I've recruited thousands into my MLM business simply by using the method called, entice and withdraw. This is how I recruited this girl today at Starbucks using this method. Allow me to explain. Most people go about recruiting by calling a friend, acquantance, or family member, and explaining to them how, if they join them in their business, they will earn thousands of dollars and have a dream lifestyle. When the prospect looks like they might be just a little bit interested, the individual trying to recruit them tries harder to convince them to join. Somewhere along the way the prospect loses interest and does not join. Why does this happen? After studying people for a long time, and exploring many different recruiting techniques, I've come to realize that the best method you can recruit someone is to try your best NOT to recruit them! I know this sounds contradictory, but follow what I'm saying. If you tell a small child to not touch that hot stove, gues what they are going to do. Curiousity will force them to touch that stove since you told them not to, or if you tell them that they cannot play with that crystal vase on the coffee table, they will do exactly the opposite. We adults are not much different that those children. If someone tells us that we can't have that job, we want it that much more. That is how I recruit 20 - 30 people every month consistently. I tell people that they are not qualified to join my MLM company, and you would be amazed, they want to join. They see it in my face that I have no interest in them joining my team and they want it that much more!! That's the entice and withdraw method. Try it sometime!
