Network marketing is all about duplication. You do something, you teach something, they do something. And so it goes on.
Social Media has become so popular even my Mom has a facebook page. That might not be amazing to you but my Mum got her first computer when she retired at 63.
Using social media like facebook can supplement the way you do business, and can supplement how you recruit to you network marketing company. Facebook and other social media sites are not a replacement for your warm market or for any of the other
methods you use. You still have to put in the time to build the relationship. It can take a couple of weeks or so, and there is a right way and wrong way to use social media. How can you find that perfect partner, make a lasting connection and approach someone you do not know and build a rapport with them. Well read on and I will explain a little more.
Using social media is an additional method to using your warm market to build your business. Social media is not the fastest method to build your business, your warm
maket will be your fastest method because you already have the rapport and trust with those people, you are already half way there. Social media will supplement your business by adding additional partners to your business.
Network marketing is a slow process, you do not get to make millions overnight.
Finding people who are interested in starting a network marketing business will be hanging out in groups with those who are into MLM. You can search under leaders like
Robert Kiyosaki, Local real estate. Donald Trump
You will want to look at peoples status and comments, you are finding like minded people who you would want to be a business partner. You are not looking to mass message several thousand people at once and hope you find a lucky strike. You are looking for people who make comments that are enthusiastic, positive, succinct and to the point., non argumentative comments, people who are busy, busy people often have
good skills suited to MLM. Professional people are often an ideal prospect. You are looking for people who may be open to an opportunity.
Making a connection – its all about individuality and not mass emailing. In your message ask more about that person, ask them what they do and build the relationship the same way you would with someone who becomes part of your warm market afterwall this is exactly how you talk to people you want to become friends with, this time you are using social media to build the relationship rather than sitting on the bleachers at the little league game. Remember when you are asking questions, to jot down their answeres in you data base. Six months later, you can ask how their remodel, or vacation or whatever it is went. Develop this good habit because it will pay you back many times over.
One of the things I love if from Bob Burgs book “Endless Referals” “How will I know when I am talking to someone, that they are a good client for you?” You are telling that person that you are listening to them, that you are interested in them and that you are interested in helping them. Never send a link to your website, unless you are invited to do so.
All about me my Profile and I.
If your profile is full of games it is a turn off for people. You are cluttering your page with
junk and looking unprofessional and boring. Why would I be interested in someone who plays games all day?
Post exciting things about your business but never “join my business at www.iamdesperate.com” that is a definite NoNo.
Attract people to you.
When you sign someone up using social medial make a post on your page welcoming that person to your team and your business. Use a structure like, Welcome Claire, a Realtor from San Diego, California, to the Vollara team. You are showing the world that you are actively working on your business, you are recruiting professionals and you are mentioning the area, This can add to your marketability and attract similar professionals in the areas to ask for more information. It is simply all about making a connection.
What is actually interesting about your business life. Do you get a fantastic auto ship. Pictures are worth a thousand words. Take pictures. One of the most memorable pictures I have seen was when a business partners Great Dane got into her autoship and ate it. No animals were harmed in the taking of the picture but if you know the product which was called Re Vive and you know dogs, just imagine a dog on energy drinks. You
are now forming a mind picture. You are creating news. If you attend conferences
take pictures of you with your leaders and post those. People love pictures.
Are you ready to mention your business?
If you have build a good relationship in you messages you probably know by now if your prospect is satisfied with what they are doing. Are they struggling with something. Have they intimated they are open to a new opportunity. Have they asked you what you do. When you have the invitation and the opening go right ahead and ask them if you would be open to taking a look at what you do, ask for permission to send them some info. Again never send someone a like or pitch your business unless invited to do so after
you have build the relationship.
Would you want to sign up under yourself.? Are you an expert on you business. Are you an expert on recruiting? If you have positioned yourself correctly and have done your due diligence you can be that expert. People will come to you for advice and this is when you are able to give the advice, this is what I do to make myself successful in my business. This is why I chose my business.
Phone Call Follow Up?
Are you ready for this? If you have built the relationship and are positioned as the expert you can ask for their phone number. Offer yours first, call me on 123-456-7890 if you have any questions, message me with your number so I know who is calling me.. You have done two things here. You have added trust and got the number given to you voluntarily. Again you will not get this after a couple of messages.
Using social media is a long process. Doing it right can give you leads which do not cost you money. It will give you long term business partners who will be in it for the long haul and can make you a healthy residual income. It is not a replacement for your warm market or retailing or any other methods you use, but it can supplement those methods. With social media being so available on smart devices you can fit short messages to your prospects in during a few moments out of your daily routine.
