Who Needs MLM Leads Anyway?

You run your own home business, right?  You may not know if you need leads, should you generate your own, or how do you choose the best MLM Leads for you and your business?  Well, let me give you 3 main reasons why you need quality leads to build your home based business.

1) You need to stay focused on what you do best.  One of the hard parts about being a business owner is that you have multiple tasks to take care of... many of which take away from your primary tasks of recruiting and building your downline. 

Too many people get caught up in doing all the other things that they have little energy or time left over for business building.  One of those "other things" is lead generation.  It can be very time consuming learning to generate your own leads.  While your own leads are usually best, it can easily take away several hours of your week trying to generate just a handful of leads.

That is why you need to buy mlm leads from a solid leads company.  You may have to go through more leads, but you will be saving a ton of time, and most importantly, you are operating your business like a professional - outsourcing marginal tasks so you can grow your business.

2) Lead Generation is expensive.  Is it generally more expensive to buy one item at retail, or go somewhere like Sam's or Costco and buy in bulk?  People who work to generate their own leads commonly say they are spending between $7 - $25 per lead because of the costs of pay per click, advertising, etc.  And, how many $7 or $25 leads are you going to have to go through to make one sale?

MLM Leads companies are able to generate leads at a much lower cost because they do so in bulk and they get much better prices with advertisers in their networks.  What may cost you $10, may only cost a leads company only $1 to generate the same lead.

While it's nice to generate your own leads, how many more leads could you buy from a leads company with the same money?!

3) Multilevel Marketing is all about duplication.  Correct?  Whiich is easier to do - teach someone how to generate their own $10 leads, or tell someone where to go buy leads?  And, it's not just teaching one other person, it is teaching your whole downline.  It is much easier, and more duplicatible to show someone where to buy leads.

Another factor to consider is if you are generating all your own leads through pay per click, then you are essentially creating your own competition in the pay per clcik search engines when you begin to teach others what you're doing... and that doesn't create a very nice team atmosphere.

The bottom line is this... take the time and find a leads company you like to work with, and that consistently provides quality leads for you to use.  Growing a successful network marketing business isn't about being a lone ranger... it's about teamwork.  This includes your downline, your MLM company, and those you use to help you grow your company.

Become a MLM Leads Master Using Your Hand 

I am a former university professor, but still a teacher at heart.  Just because I own a Network Marketing Leads company, doesn't mean I have left teaching behind.  After college I traveled throughout the midwest, teaching youth in camps, school, seminars, and churches.  I then traveled overseas, working in literacy.  I then taught at Dallas Baptist University.  I love to teach.


As the owner of National-Leads.com, I want to teach people how to be successful when using leads.  It's not easy.  But, with practice and proper instruction, there isn't anything that can stop you from being successful with your home business.


There are a lot of misconceptions about leads... they are too expensive, no one is ever home, the prospects never have any money, etc.  While some of those things may be true, it's strange, you never (or rarely) hear the masters, the gurus of network marketing complain.


Those who are masters at working leads know the numbers, can overcome all of those objections, and build wildly successful businesses.  Becoming a master... or at least committed, should be your target, your goal, if you are going to achieve your dreams.


One of the things I learned a long time ago from a sales training is this - Use your hand to understand success in sales.


Hold up your hand with your fingers spread.  Your thumb represents a prospect that anyone could recruit.  They are a "lay down."  Your pinkie represents a prospect that nobody could close - and I mean nobody.  Walk away from them.


Your middle three fingers represent prospects who need to overcome objections, need followup, and need your experience.  Learning to recruit these middle three is what will make you successful.


Most people only search for the "lay down" prospect.  You'll never reach your goals doing that.  Learn to become a master recruiter by learning when to walk away from the prospect nobody can close, and learning to close the middle three.
