I’m going to let you in on a very dirty secret:

There is one question that is being dodged by experts in EVERY market. Answer that question and you’ll corner the market, be worshipped forever and get more customers and sales.

If it was that easy, why aren’t other experts answering these questions?

It’s because they fear an informed audience. That’s outright silly! But, we’re not going to tell them that. While your competitors run scared, you’ll be getting more sales since you’re going to follow the steps I outline in the article below. You will educate your targeted audiences, get more website traffic, teach people how to buy from you and increase your sales.

Wake Up – Your Clients Are Looking for You!

If you’re going to use the power of the Internet to try to find clients, you have to first understand how prospective clients are going to find you. You need to drop your preconceived notions about how you see your business, and start thinking about how potential clients are going to see your business. To do that, you need to try to put yourself in their shoes.

Understanding Web Searches

Let’s suppose, for example, your business is centered around providing consulting to customers who need help with back pain in New York. When you sit down to start designing your web strategy, you might hire a copywriter to create content with the keywords, “back pain consultant,” or “pain coaching.” However, those terms won’t likely bring you much in the way of good, solid traffic from potential clients.

You know how often I get asked about how effective social networking is for someone’s business, from my clients or when I’m out networking from random business owners?? Hundreds a month.

It’s amazing. It’s amazing how many of us are on the social sites but also how many are not!

I think if you’re an entrepreneur, no matter whether you do business locally or globally, you should be doing some amount of social networking as ONE source of lead generation in your business.

Recently I was asked to imagine that I was starting all over again, and as a newbie, how I would fill my business in 60 days. Things have changed tremendously since I began my online business in 2005, mostly for the better. Most of the steps, however remain the same. Best of all, the strategies I recommend to fill your business are the same ones that can be applied to any business, and then applied again and again to other online ventures. Here are 8 secrets to filling the prospect funnel in your business in 60 days:

1. Success mind set.

Don’t gloss over this strategy — it may be the most important of all. If you truly want to succeed in your business and are passionate about what you do, nothing will hold you back. This often means that you have to step out in faith that you’ll succeed, and most importantly, believe in yourself as a success. Sure, you may stumble, or even fall, but you must be willing to pick yourself back up and persevere — even without a safety net hanging under you.

2. Target market.

Everyone’s center of the universe is the same. Themselves. When it comes right down to it everyone is interested in themselves and what they can get. You must remember this when talking to prospects. They won’t join until you can show them how joining is in their best interest. If you want powerful network marketing leads you must determine what they want and show them how your buisness delivers.

When you are talking, the prospect will be thinking one thing. “How will my life be enlarged?” They don’t care about how much money you made. They don’t care how many associates the compay has. They really don’t even care about the product. The thought they are focused on is what’s in it for them.

When presenting your program remember the prospect is only wondering how it will bring value to their life. You wouldn’t purchase shoes unless you saw the value in them. That would be ridiculous. In this same way your Network Marketing Lead wants to see what value your business brings to them. They only want to to see how it will improve the life they live. Hit this idea and make it central to your pitch. Let them know what THEY can expect from the program.

There are many people in the world who work MLM Programs. There are literally millions of people who utilize this method of business operation to make a full-time income or in order to attain one. The MLM Business has certainly matured since the days of Amway or Shaklee.

With the advent of better technologies, namely the Computer and the Internet, there has been a proliferation of MLM Company startups. At first, this created extra opportunities for the average MLM distributor. Lately, however this phenomenon has hurt the MLM distributor.

On the surface it may seem that there are extra opportunities for the MLmer to prosper. However, under closer analysis what is revealed is a shrinking market for the average Mlm distributor. There are only a certain amount of MLMers available to be recruited into any opportunity. This number remains static or increases by a small percentage yearly.

Signing up for an MLM Opportunity can be exciting. The mind swirls with the idea of a large residual income and the ability to do as you please. Once this initial fantasy subsides you have some very important matters to consider.

Since the MLM business is built upon the idea of duplication, you must think about how you will recruit new distributors. A smart MLmer will also develop a means to sell the MLM company’s primary product. Even though many huge organizations have been built on product sales alone, most MLMer’s overlook this marketing method.

Let’s look at a simple example. Would you rather have 1000 distributors purchasing $100 a month in product or 300 distributors selling $700 a month in product? Since MLM commissions are based on volume and the 1st group’s volume is $100,000 and the 2nd group’s volume is $210,000, who made the most money? It is obvious that the 2nd group was more profitable. Don’t neglect product sales systems if you can find them.

The growing popularity of Global Domains International (GDI) has been overwhelming and the accolades received by the organization over the years speak for themselves. Recently GDI was featured in the San Diego Union Tribune, the LA Times, Entrepreneur Magazine and most recently Inc 500 even rated GDI #37 out of the top 500 fastest growing companies in the US. I mention this not only to erase any doubt or scepticism but also because the world is ripe with opportunity now and one should be careful when considering what opportunity to take advantage of. With any online opportunity or MLM traffic will be key but once you’re getting traffic the importance of coaching, duplication and patience play a much bigger role than ever before. You can make money online.

Social Marketing can prove very fruitful for anyone from the beginner all the way to the guru. In fact the more you do it the better you will get, guaranteed! Human nature is a touchy subject and learning what to say and when to say it is key to make money online. This is a great win-win situation! Global Domains International is selling the .ws domains pretty good because .ws domain names are a pretty good alternative for .com names (as you might have noticed, all the good .com domains are already taken, but the .ws isn’t). It’s a great trial and error exercise that will teach you a lot about what you’re doing and the people you share it with. There are plenty of sites that allow you to network throughout the community but be sure that your efforts are genuine.To sign up, you must visit a website (mine is below, at the bottom of the article), sign up, and purchase a domain name (for example: www.rarecars.ws) You will receive a 7-day free trial, and at any point, you can quit if you wish. After the trial, the web hosting will cost you $10 a month. For that, you get one website, which you can use for whatever purpose you want, (in most cases, people will use theirs to sell another website to someone else). Furthermore, be helpful more than anything else. People are not as impressed by million dollar sales pitches as much as they are impressed by a quality product, a genuine helper and a truly legitimate income.

The next major realization that I’ve made is the importance of coaching. Coaching is HUGE! As a coach or sponsor your resources must be limitless. You can produce tools and resources yourself or can just point your affiliates in the right direction towards resources produced by 3rd parties. As an affiliate, an important thing to remember is that while resources are important, resourcefulness plays a much bigger role when determining success. Anyone familiar with compensation structure of GDI realizes the value of each affiliate in the downline. In order to increase the value of that affiliate, the sponsor needs teach and mentor until the affiliate is self-sustaining.

Network Marketing is a great industry. It can be even more rewarding if you are fortunate enough to find an excellent product line with a stable company. Maximizing your financial rewards through the compensation plan can certainly be achieved if you take time to really understand your income opportunity – and especially the residual benefits.

As with any serious business endeavour, you should take time to develop a concise business plan which includes your marketing strategy. You will no-doubt have some key insight into a few of the specific elements of your opportunity, because there was obviously something there that interested you enough to get involved. The “hook” that brought you in, is most likely a key interest for you – so you will likely utilize that interest in your own recruiting efforts.

Key Point: take time to establish a serious business plan which will include your marketing strategy and perhaps your financial goals.

One of the more important aspects of network marketing (aka MLM) is the lowly e-mail – the thing people love to hate simply because these days it’s often viewed as spam before it’s even opened.

Not sure you should try this this kind of marketing because people may delete your e-mail? They might anyhow, no matter what you do, but that doesn’t mean you don’t do this type of marketing.

Targeted e-mail is one of the most powerful marketing tools available if done correctly. A good crafted email marketing strategy is the foundation for network relationship marketing.

In regard to making money on the Internet, everyone is always looking for the quick fix. They want to sign up for a program, place an advertisement, and make hundreds or thousands of dollars instantly. While this may be possible depending on your circumstances, the most direct and guaranteed path to success on the Internet is to stick with the fundamentals.

A friend of mine who is an athletic coach for kids in the city where I live reminded me of this lesson. This guy is actually so passionate about kids and athletics that he coaches 4 different sports: basketball, soccer, baseball and football. Of course, he has a kid of his own on each team. But what is remarkable about this guy is the results he gets with his teams.

He was recruited to coach the 8th grade football team where his children go to school. After 27 years of losing seasons in a row, the first year my friend became the head coach the team won the district championship and repeated their championship run the following year. This past weekend he coached 12 different games and won all 12 of them. As you can tell, this guy is extremely dedicated.
