Whatever home based business you have choosen you will need leads if you want to become financially independent. Most MLM Companies will encourage you to start a memory jogger list. However;
Now imagine if you were opening up a store you would tell your friends and family so this technique makes sense if done properly. However;
When you understand that not everyone is cut out to be an independent business owner or distributor you will succeed in finding the people who do want to be networkers. It is smart business practice to let everyone know that you have a home based business but it isn't smart to hound them into joining you.
It is more effect to take a CEO mindset and actually interview your prospect to ensure more success. Ask yourself is it better to "sell and tell" you warm market to join you in business or let them tell you why they want to also join this opportunity you have found? When someone tells you why they too see the advantages of being involved in Trump Network, Shaklee, Avon, Ameriplan, Xango or whatever MLM you have presented you now have a business partner. If you have to strong arm them into joining you what most people find is "buyers remorse."
Now instead of getting someone who wants to work the business you are stuck with someone complaining about how it is a scam. MLM is a great way to make repeat residual income for people who want to be involved in MLM.
Basically as a networker you get paid to find customers and quaiified business partners. The reason MLM gets a bad reputation is because people fail to find qualified business partners.
Today with the internet and technology there are many ways to find qualified prospects. Remember you are the CEO of your home based business and are paid to find qualified prosects.
Start with your warm market. Why not let them know you have started a new business but like the person buying a store front or franchise don't expect them all to join you in business. Plus depending on the size of you warm market you will eventually end out in the cold. So to be a professional networker you need to know how to prospect. Leads are the life blood of a successful marketer and the more ways you know how to attract leads the more you will succeed in this industry.
