New Business Leads: The Gas That Keeps Your Business Going

       

Do you want to start a network marketing business? Are you already a network marketing business owner?

You need a constant flow of new business leads. Period. This is the lifeblood that keeps your network marketing business thriving.

A constant flow of new business leads

A traditional brick and mortar business will have a building with a product or service to sell. Their focus of the marketing is to bring local customers into their building, to purchase their goods or use their services. The aim is to have a stable supply of customers that will use the service or product.

A MLM business has no physical building. It consist of a a company and a product. Some products are physical products (lotions and potions or technology products) and some companies have information products (training, expertise or events).

The focus of network marketing lead generation is to have a steady flow of prospects interested in the products or the business opportunity. These are your new business leads.

The source of new leads

There are many sources to buy new business leads and many methods that can be used for targeted lead generation. I have listed six of the most common below:

1. Offline marketing – examples include flyers, drop cards, banner signs, signs, exhibitions, personal contact marketing, business presentations, magazine and journal adverts, newspaper ads, broadcast media ads. For some types of offline marketing (flyers, banner signs, drop cards) you do some physical work or you pay someone to do the work for you.
2. Offline to online marketing – this method is similar to 1 above with the exception that you direct interested people to a customized website. The website informs the prospect of the business opportunity and serves as an additional screening method where people get time to decide in their own space and place. The prospect enters their details to request the business owner to contact them.
3. Buy leads- there are several lead generation companies on the internet that sells new business leads to network marketing business owners. Most of the companies do telephone surveys or they have a website where they gather the information of people interested in starting a network marketing business. They request consent from the interested parties to find the right business opportunity for them.
4. Buy genealogy lists - a genealogy lists is simply a list of distributors. Some companies sell the information of distributors in their networks after they go out of business. Business Owners can buy the list and market their opportunity to it. Some opportunists buy these lists and then resell them to business owners in the network marketing industry.
5. Ad hoc marketing – using whatever online method of marketing your company suggests you use. This includes free listings on the various online sites, listings on jobsites, pay-per-click advertising, banner advertising, ezine marketing, solo ads, forum marketing and social marketing. It is typical to hop from one method of online marketing to another in a brief period or even trying all of them at once. You may use these marketing methods to build a database of leads that are in your companies’ database (meaning they do not belong exclusively to you). You have enough information to start your online marketing but not enough marketing skills to achieve the lead flow that will give you a breakthrough in your business. With ad hoc marketing, you remain the hunter for business opportunity seekers.
6. Generating leads using an attraction marketing system – in this type of marketing you learn online marketing skills from leaders that mastered the various online marketing strategies. Through the marketing system, you focus on improving your skills and the value that you have to offer to the online network marketing community. The emphases is on quality training, acquiring real online marketing skills and using the systems, lead capture pages, auto-responders and lead generation programs used by top income earners in the industry to get targeted leads. With this marketing, you cannot hide behind your PC. You identify your best points and you build on them while strengthening your weak points. You become the leader that you want to follow.
