5 Reasons Why Should You Generate Your Own MLM & Network Marketing Leads.

You'll probably agree that in order to succeed with any network marketing or MLM business you are going to need a steady supply of fresh targeted leads who are anxious to get started in a home based business opportunity.

The lead vendors know this little fact too and they can see you coming a mile away!

This can pose a problem for all but the super savvy network marketers and people with extra-ordinary telephone skills. Let's face it... Not everybody has the telephone skills of an MLM superstar... Wouldn't it be nice if you could custom tailor your leads?

Here are 5 of the most popular reasons you may want to consider generating your own mlm or network marketing leads.

1. Quality - When you purchase leads from a leads vendor you are buying a list of names and contact details that has been generated in a very generic way as to maximize the response rate of the lead generators advertising campaign. These leads aren't necessarily generated from the most targeted means of advertising. They are presented with a very simple generic lead capture page selling them on the benefits of owning a home based business such as time freedom, more money, less stress etc... Not necessarily selling them on any specific type of home based business. When you are phoning this type of lead you really don't know what type of business they may be interested in... you're left to sorting and this can be a time consuming procedure. Generating your own leads with a website you have control over changes the game.

2. Responsive - Leads that you have generated on your own are usually much more responsive than leads that you would have purchased from a leads vendor. Most likely they haven't been contacted by several different network marketers and their name hasn't been sold over and over again by some of the leads vendors out there. Leads that you generate are Real-Time - As fresh as you can get and they are exclusive to you (providing the prospect hasn't submitted to other websites). By simply controlling the advertising message displayed on your lead capture page you can custom tailor the leads you'll be generating to your specific product or opportunity.

3. Real-Time Leads - One of the most popular reasons for a network marketer to generate their own leads is that you can receive them in real-time. This is especially powerful for people who are in the higher ticket business opportunities and they need the highest quality lead they can get. Nothing and I'll say that again... NOTHING Beats having company specific real-time leads in your inbox waiting to be contacted about your product or opportunity. When you run a large successful advertising campaign you can literally sit at your computer and watch the fresh real-time leads roll in waiting to be contacted by you and your team.

4. Custom Surveys - When you are the lead generator you have full control over the questions you want to ask your prospects. This can be a very effective way to do some of that dreaded "sorting" that many network marketers hate doing. You can simply qualify or disqualify leads based on the questions they have answered on your lead capture page. *Tip* It is a wise idea to always run a "Comments Or Questions" or "Tell Me About Yourself" form field on your lead capture page. Not every single prospect will fill these fields out but when they do it will be the most valuable piece of information you receive next to their name and number. Anything a prospect is willing to share with you before the initial contact can be your saving grace when it comes to breaking the ice.

5. Cost - That's right... Generating your own leads can actually save you a lot of money if you spend the time to setup some solid advertising campaigns. You'll no longer be paying the middle man or any commissions that so many leads vendors like to attach their lead plans. Like many leads companies on the web you won't have the high cost of employees either. Your cost to generate your own leads will be your advertising costs and any other tools you may be using such as lead capture pages and/or autoresponders. When you are generating leads of the highest quality and you have semi-decent skills at speaking with them you will need less of them to enroll a new business associate. This saves you time and saves you money. Both are very valuable in the fast paced world of network marketing and MLM.

These are just a few reasons you may want to consider learning a little more about generating your own leads for your specific product or opportunity. It could make a difference in how effectively you market your program.

Legal Network Marketing- Non MLM or MLM, How Can I Know?

Legal Network Marketing - Non MLM or MLM, How Can I Know?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Viola_Bontrager]Viola Bontrager

You may be wondering if the mlm or non-mlm business opportunity you are researching, is a LEGAL network marketing business and although most network marketing systems are really quite simple, the search can be overwhelming at times and fear of failure often keeps us from even trying!

Always remember...you have that 'voice inside you' for a reason...some may call it your gut feeling, others may say it is a sixth sense, still others call it the inner voice of a higher power.....when all the said and done, base your decision on what your heart is telling you.

Do not let fear stand in the way of your Door to Freedom...and remember that when God gives you a vision, He also send pro-vision...!

I believe that the main reason most people delay getting started in a home based business or network marketing venture is because of fear of failure...They are thinking "What if this mlm or (non-mlm) opportunity doesn't work"....

But, my dear friend, "What if it DOES work??" What if we CAN make a living wothout being all stressed out all the time??

As you come across different home business opportunies in your quest, some things that will help you determine whether or not they are legal network marketing companies are these...

How long has the mlm or non-mlm company been established?

If it is an mlm business opportunity ,what are their policies and procedures?

What do they have for a training and support system?

Do they have a viable, stand alone product or service that you would be marketing?

What is their payplan?

And always, what do you feel when you are listening to the conference calls or reading through the websites??

You owe it to yourself to find out and truly do your research on whether or not they are a legal network marketing business and if you can not find the 'hole in the boat' then don't let fear of failure stand in the way!

Take that leap of faith and let your story be the next successful work at home Mom (or Dad) story to be shared on the conference calls...

3 Hot Methods To Build Your Network Marketing Business

The brutal statistics speak for themselves….97% failure rate. And although that is many littered bodies in the battlefield, we all have that inkling suspicion that there is a RIGHT way to do network marketing.

And we see that the right way pays off big time. What other business could pay you dream like income, residually, for the rest of your life? The key is….that only happens if you build it right.

So here are some HOT tips on how to get your network marketing business taking off to the moon.

1. Ignore almost everything you have been told by traditional network marketing companies. If their systems worked and were duplicatable, why do so many people fail? The only thing being duplicated most of the time is failure.

Step 1 is de-programming yourself from the mainstream network marketing model, and opening your mind to far greater possibilities.

2. Start to put a little “marketing” into your network marketing business. This doesn’t mean you buy leads from the local lead shack….that will get you no where. Generic leads time and time again produce un-qualified, non interested people, who drain more from us then they give.

Instead….start to think how you can generate YOUR OWN.

3. Educate yourself on the latest tactics people are using to truly generate massive amounts of leads who enter their well oiled business funnel.

This is what the new network marketing millionaires are doing, under the radar of the mainstream, which allows many such people to build THOUSAND people organizations in less then a few short years.

It all has to do with marketing. Seek to educate yourself on these crucial topics and strategies. Each piece is another part of the map, and once the map is whole you will know exactly where to find the treasure.
