Business opportunity leads are thought to be indispensable in the mlm and network marketing world. Without leads you have a dead business. That’s why home business owners do one of two things, buy leads or generate their own leads through marketing. Many network marketers quit marketing because they run out of money because they were chasing opportunity leads and had little to or usually no results, that means they never generated money to pay for their business expenses of generating those leads. There are 3 key reasons why you should stop chasing business leads.
1. Just Curious & Not Serious
Many time the people that are on those business opportunity lists or filled out the form for your business opportunity are nothing more then tire kickers. They are more curious about what it is that you are "selling". You can spend hours with these leads but no matter you will do and how much time you'll spend they will never join your business opportunity. You may have the most amazing opportunity to offer but these people have no desire to join and many will proclaim they never requested any information by filling out your form, and rudely tell you to stop calling.
This is the type of person will never be open to any opportunity because they simply don't "believe" in them.
2. No Business To Be In Business
Business opportunity leads are often people who have no business to be in business. Often times these are people in need of money and looking to get out of debt. You might think that these are the people you would benefit from your opportunity, however that's exactly the person you should avoid. This is if you come form a place of "need" into a business venture you will not have the type of mindset needed to create success in a business.
If you sponsor these types of prospects to your opportunity they most likely won't have the marketing skills necessary to market the business and they will have to learn by taking marketing courses so that whatever marketing they use will be effective. If the people you sponsor possess a "need" mindset instead of a "desire" mindset they will most likely not last long enough to create any kind of progress or success let alone last through the learning curve in network marketing.
3. Looking to "Get Rich Quick"
Business opportunity leads have a tendency to be looking for a lottery ticket on the internet in other words looking to "get rich quick" and not a business. They are want to start a business with zero investment and start up costs that will make them rich overnight. You probably realized a while back that it takes a lot of effort to create a successful business, investing both time and money to invest in order to create success.
You create success by committing on a daily basis to taking action marketing, prospecting and being able to invest in your self by investing in whatever training you may need. These are the people that might join your opportunity but go into witness protection program within a month of joining your team.
What types of leads should you be looking for?
That's a tricky question, you shouldn't be looking for leads. Your goal is to attract leads to you through marketing, Absolutely the best leads are those who already know what it takes to be in this industry, other network marketers, but if you want these type of leads you have to have something they want or need. To attract these leads you need to create videos, write interesting blogs and article so that you can start branding yourself as a leader in the industry. Start providing value in topics like marketing, free lead generation, sponsoring do's and don'ts.
This way marketers who are struggling in creating success in their businesses will start seeing you as a leader, someone who can help them with whatever they need help with and will become your leads.
