How does person A generate more commission with three leads than person B with a thousand leads in the same network marketing group? Person A is familiar with the fundamental principle of network marketing - relationship building.
People generally join a network marketing group because they want to profit from being a business owner and obtain financial freedom, but they may not have the skills or knowledge to start their own business. The greatest attraction to network marketing is the ability to be involved in a profitable system with a number of people eager to help - a valuable characteristic typically not found in other business opportunities.
Prospects that are generated are guaranteed people who are Interested in network marketing, however, their interest can be quickly lost. The reason being that people are generally lazy. People would rather be walked through something than do it entirely by themselves. Those active in network marketing were novices to the subject at one point. They did not understand how profits were made, how to generate leads or where to start. The reason they continued to be involved after their initial interest is because they had a leader who was willing to help and teach them to run their new business. Often leads that are generated appear to lack interest because they are not motivated, but in actuality they lack guidance.
Prospects that are generated are the highest concentration of a targeted audience that can be obtained. By simply following up, an enormous conversion rate can be produced. Guide new members with strategies o network marketing. “Get the ball rolling for them” and they will be eager to learn and begin their business. Teach them how simple network marketing is and they will produce an income for you.
Value every lead that is generated. These pospects are the greatest targeted audience that can be found - remember they have already shown interest and are ready for a change. A new member may take a year to actually become active. There are number of factors that could play for this latent action. They may be researching, slowly setting up a business for the future, attaining funds to market their business or they are just too busy at the moment. Regardless, every lead has some interest in network marketing and can potentially be your greatest income producer. In addition, many times those who have a moderate interest quickly become highly interested. Network marketing is a business opportunity that is hard to turn down.
Follow-ups are persuasive in nature. By continually following up with prospects, the receiver is slowly absorbing the message. On average, a person has to be exposed to a message six times before the message is understood. Repetition is the most effective means of communication, therefore, every time a follow-up is made, the receiver is more likely to take action.
It is important to note that following up can be overdone and appear aggressive. Contacting leads by email more than once a week can seem obtrusive and cause the receiver to ignore future messages while developing a negative view of the represented company. A follow-up should disclose who you are, who you represent and a way to contact you. The message should be brief and concentrate on one topic - the receiver will not encode a broad message that covers many aspects. Include links for the receiver to find out more or how to take action, provide them with a way to contact you with any questions or concerns and let them know that your support is available.
Generating leads in network marketing is the toughest part, but making the leads work for you is vital. Be supportive and lead by example. Motivate and help your downline and they will be motivated to do the same. Getting started in network marketing is difficult, but from there it’s free sailing. Help your leads raise their sails and they will produce your income.

“Market Yourself” for a Successful BusinessTerri Seymour
The imporatnce of building yourself and your reputation.
“Market Yourself” for a Successful Business 2003 Terri Seymour
Building an online business takes a lot of work, passion and commitment. Unfortunately, some people are led to believe all you have to do is slap up a website and watch the orders start rolling in!!
This could not be further from the truth! One thing I have learned in my years online is that you have to “market yourself” in order to build a successful online business. What you need to do is build your reputation and let people get to know you so they want to get to know your business.
You want people to be able to trust you, rely on you and be assured that you actually have some knowledge about the business you are in. This is the part of building a business that will take some time but will have its rewards. ( And I am not just talking financial rewards)
There are several ways of “networking” online which will help you “market yourself”. I have found the following methods to be very effective in building a solid online reputation.
Ezine Publishing - An ezine can be a lifeline between you and your readers/customers. This is a great way to prove yourself trustworthy and knowledgeable. Be consistent in sending out your ezine. Be available to your readers when they need you. And also, give them a quality content-filled ezine to read!
Message Boards - Become a “resident expert” on some quality message boards. Visit regularly and offer any help, advice or support that you can. Always treat others with respect and courtesy. Get started with these boards: http://www.internetbasedmoms.com/bb/index.php http://homebizlink.com/wwwboard/ http://www.internet-marketing-forum.com/forum/index.php http://www.webwondersnews.com/forum/
Find more boards here: http://www.forumdirectory.net/ If you have a forum, add it to the directory.
Discussion Lists - Basically the same as forum boards, but done through your email. Some groups are more strict than others, so please be sure to follow posting guidelines. A few of my favorites: mailto:hbj_chat-subscribe@yahoogroups.com mailto:ideasbypost-subscribe@yahoogroups.com mailto:newbies911-subscribe@topica.com
Email Etiquette - People will email you with questions, concerns, suggestions and ideas. Answer all emails as quickly and efficiently as possible always being courteous and respectful. This is a great way of building your networking list and very possibly picking up customers.
Writing Articles - Writing articles is one of the most powerful reputation and business building methods available. People want and need basic, down-to-earth information and resources. They are not looking for big words or fancy writing styles. Put your heart and personality into your articles along with helpful resources and information. More info and resources on writing articles: mailto:getideas@getresponse.com mailto:yesarticles@getresponse.com
Remember the main points of “marketing yourself”
*Be trustworthy and reliable. *Show your knowledge and offer it to others. *Offer advice, help, and/or support whenever possible. *Always treat others (even the difficult ones) with respect and courtesy. Rise above the pettiness of some people. *Be available (if possible) when someone needs you.
With a solid and sterling reputation, your business will bloom like a flower in springtime!
“Marketing yourself” will go a long way towards building your online business and it also helps you in other ways as well. You form lasting and beneficial relationships with others, both personal and business. You learn more from the experiences of others and you might also learn more about yourself and what you really are capable of. And that, my friend, can be the biggest reward of all!!

About the Author
I am married for 18 years with two children and we live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. We are very family-oriented and I have always been a stay at home Mom. My two boys are 16 and 9. I have been looking for a home business for years and when we got our first computer and went on the internet I knew that was what I wanted to do. I have been on the net for about two years and am learning more everyday. I have a free resource site, My Own Ezine, and also publish an ezine called My Own Ezine. I recently started writing articles and am doing very well with them. With my website and ezine I hope to help other netprenuers start or build their online business.
