When you join a network marketing company the first thing that most people are taught is to go out and make a list of 200 people they know and they are told to call each and every person on that list. They are told not to pre-judge and don't assume that no-one will not be interested, call them ALL. I hate to admit it, but I was so convinced of this marketing strategy, that I actually pass it on to my downline. I always say, "what you don't know is ignorance but once you do know and you don't do better, that's foolish" So, at that time, I was ignorant to the fact that calling 200 people that can care less about my business opportunity was a complete waist of my time. However, I have learned better marketing strategies that are taking my business to a whole new level. The concepts of creating this list of 200 people and calling them, doing warm chatter, roaming malls, 3-foot rule conversations, home parties, and cold calling, is all on the network side of a network marketing.

It's Stupid To Buy Leads

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:15:24 -0400

I know it is very tempting to buy leads when you first start in Network Marketing because you are anxious to start building your team and making some money right away but I promise you, buying leads it's not a smart thing to do. I made a stupid mistake in purchasing some leads and I wish to this day that I had not done that and invested my money in something more productive. I am too embarrassed to even say how much I spent in this foolish act. The biggest disadvantages in purchasing leads, is that you really don't know where they came from and you don't know what the individual was offered to become a lead. So, when you go to call the leads you bought, some of them are not looking for a business opportunity, some of them don't remember filling out a form, and some of them are really frustrated because you are the seventh person that called them about joining a business opportunity. **End Summary** Topics: Buying Leads]]> purchasing leads]]> mlm leads]]> network marketing leads]]> business leads]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Syvella Brantley is an expert on Network Marketing Lead Generation and will happy to share with some additional training on generating leads in various Social Medias.
