Over the years I have found that one of the secrets to big-time MLM sponsoring is always being prepared to follow through and enroll prospects on the spur of the moment. Whether you meet a good prospect online or offline, if you are not 100% prepared to immediately follow up with that prospect in a professional and efficient manner, you are missing opportunities to build your business.
Nothing will brand you as an amateur faster than telling a hot prospect that you will have to get back with them. Worse yet, when the time comes that you finally do follow up with that lead, their excitement for your business will be gone or they will have found someone else to sponsor them into the business.
I am always amazed at how many network marketers are not always prepared ahead of time, even though it is so important and simple to do. In fact, most of your preparation can and should be completed the very first day you are in an mlm business.
Do not let your eagerness to build a new business cause you to skip some simple preparations. It will actually save you a tremendous amount of time later on.
And by having the follow-up tools ready, you can start being successful without having to know a lot of details about your business. I have always taught our team that letting the tools do the talking works better for both new networkers and seasoned veterans alike. And letting the tools do the talking shows your prospect that they can easily do the business from day one also.
Here is a short list of the kinds of follow-up tools you'll want to be equipped with for both online and offline mlm sponsoring. While there is no need to use all of these tools, be sure you are always prepared with a few.
Business cards, drop cards, flyers, magazines, dvds, brochures, applications. When you talk to prospects face to face, plan on having some physical materials to give them.
Pre-written follow up emails, links to landing pages or information pages, and your company enrollment page. These should all be prepared ahead of time to use with online or telephone prospects.
Scripts of what you will say and the telephone numbers for upline support and 3 way calling will be helpful for both online and offline prospects.
If you do not have these tools in place, get with your sponsor today. Be sure that the next time your phone rings, an email comes in, a landing page opt-in hits your inbox, or you run into a great prospect at the grocery store, you are ready to follow up and enroll them. It will lead to huge success in your mlm sponsoring.
