5 Ways To Boost Your MLM
November 25, 2008 | By Monika Mundell | 2 Comments »
Sometimes you will find yourself with your business lagging behind your targets. Perhaps you had planned to have x amount of team members in your downline, or you missed out on your target income for any given month. If business is sl0ower than expected you CAN do several things to help inject new life into it.
One thing you shouldn’t do is to throw money at the wall in the hopes some might actually stick. Investing more money into lead generation is only a smart idea when you are actually in control of your business. Otherwise you are wasting your resources. You first have to take back that control by doing the following:
Stick to a daily schedule – no matter what
Let’s get one thing straight before I go deeper into this subject. I personally hate schedules and I would be the last person on earth to stick to one, except I know how important it is for success to work your business every day by having some structure to get work done.
By work I mean tasks that will ultimately pay you. Kaching!
See, most of us are easily sidetracked by the sheer amount of online information. It is easy to surf the web, learning about new companies, opportunities or simply to catch up with our online friends.
The hardest part of running any business is to be strict with oneself and organized enough to concentrate on income producing tasks instead. This is by far the hardest part for most of us. But with a bit of teeth gritting on your behalf and resolve you too can master this concept and once you do – you will see your business grow.
Follow up with your leads
This might be a given, but believe me it is not. I don’t know how many leads I wasted in the course of running my mlm business. I did this by being scared of follow up. I was afraid of no’s and therefore didn’t even pick up the phone or sent out another email.
That was not smart and in hindsight I know it. Heck, I even knew it there and then but my fear was gripping me and rendered me inactive.
What I learned from this is that people are not actually saying no to you as I wrote the other day. Instead they are not interested to join your opportunity – in this moment in time. But three months down the road they might, so unless they explicable tell you to not ever contact them again, you should.
That is why online mlm’s are so great. No need to pick up the phone. Instead just keep sending those autoresponders with plenty of helpful information to rouse their interest levels in what you do.
Personalize your autoresponder messages
The worst thing you can hit your prospects with are those impersonal autoresponder messages, mass produced by your company.
Make them more personal and GIVE people value in exchange of being able to market to them. By giving away your best tips upfront, chances are that many will learn to see you as a leader in your company.
And even if they are not ready to join you now, who is to say they won’t in three months time if you give them all this value?!
On another note, it is key to strike a good rate to send those emails too. I HATE being marketed to by the same guy day in and day out. The first I do when this happens is unsubscribe. I suggest you aim for once weekly messages, or else if your information is time sensitive, perhaps two messages a week but no more.
If your prospects keep getting bombarded from you they will only get pissed off with you and certainly not feel inclined to join your business opportunity!
Look at your self talk!
A bad business spell can often be the cause of negative self talk. If you keep mentally bashing yourself, you change the whole atmosphere around you. Since negative attracts like, you will be the creator of your own sullen destiny.
Think positive instead and you will start to take positive action for your business which in return will attract more leads. While the whole context of this is much more complicated, it really is as simple as that.
Believe in yourself and your opportunity
If you have any shreds of doubt about your mlm opportunity, or you feel like you don’t really belong there, get out. The longer you are with a company, the harder it will be to quit.
Leaving your team behind is damaging to your self worth believe me. You will feel more like a total loser and probably end up being depressed too. If your business is still trying to take off though and you are certain you made the wrong choice, quit.
There is nothing wrong in quitting every now and then, especially when you KNOW whatever you do isn’t right for you.
You can boost your mlm
By implementing each of these suggestions, you can boost your mlm business to new heights. It won’t be easy though, but anything worth fighting for usually isn’t anyway.

Sticky to your daily schedule is very useful advice. Most distributors tend to work in bursts. They do a lot of work in a short period of time and then they have a big gap that they are not doing nothing only to get followed by another burst of activity. Not being consistent and not doing the necessary things every day can harm your online MLM target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://gobala.linktrackr.com/attractionmarketing-mlmrkeywords">MLM business.
@ Chris: I personally believe that consistency is the key to any business’ success. Like you said, bursts do help in the intermediate, but long term they just don’t work.
