Help with recruiting please!

You should try explaining what exactly you're doing. From what you wrote, I can tell it's MLM, but that's very vague. Why should I be interested? What are you selling? What's in it for me?

Like Cren said, it sounds like you're involved in an MLM program.

You don't need help recruiting more personals. I've been involved
with MLM for more than 30 years and I know many people earning
mid 5 figure (and up) monthly incomes with fewer personals than
you have.

What you need to do is start developing leaders from the personals
you already have.

Tsnyder

Okay...

So what you're saying is that you've had 38 people sign
up for a free deal. That's not a downline... that's a lead
list.

Have any of them actually purchased product more than once yet?

Tsnyder

Oh... and if you have a successful, experienced upline leader
willing to help you build a business stop being a doofus and start
paying attention to what they're teaching you.

There's a process that leads to success in this business.

Duplicate that process or be prepared to be frustrated for many years.

Tsnyder

Then you need to do two things right away...

First... contact that upline leader and ask for his help.
Second... start working with those 3 people.

google search katie freiling, daegan smith, and jonathan budd, they are all 80k a month earners in mlm, I am sure they will the the answers to any question you have

It has already been said in the previous postings but I'll mention it again. Spend your time separating the wheat from the chaff by focusing on the people that are showing signs of becoming a leader within your downline.

By focusing on helping them grow their business your own business will grow and additional leaders will appear in your downline as it continues to grow.

I recommend you read "The Wave 4 Way To Building Your Downline" by Richard Poe - great read and very helpful book for MLMs.

Its going to be hard getting people to touch that one think of all the poeple that where involved in hydroxycut. I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pull myself. Its way to hard to get people to join a program that sells and in order to make money you have to invite people to sell those products aswell. There is a fresh crowd coming in with the layoffs going on beause of the recession.

Except these people are going to be looking to make money with out having to sell for now. They may ventrure to a product like that later but thats going to be in a few months from now if not years. So you need to target the fresh crowd first.

Doing that increases your list and also will increase your sales later. So build your list first. Worry about the sales and signups later. If you are already making money start working on getting the ones you currently have to make money as well. This will be your true key to making money with mlm. Then when you are done with that program. Everyone you helped build there initail start up will follow you to the next.

Well i messaged you man. everyone here is such a help

So i have worked on a couple people today. Got them to get really excited! Got 2 more personally sponsored members that are active now. Anything else that could help me help them?

Where could i get a copy of that? And what system do you use?

Also, I would like to know how to help my personals make more money? Do I give them some of my referrals? Or what do I do?

Have you called that successful upline guy yet?

Tsnyder

As with any business, you're going to have to be persistent and self-motivated. You seem to want someone to hold your hand throughout the entire process. It seems to me that there's nothing to it but to do it.

You say you have trouble selling in a small town, but I think a small town would be much easier than a big city. You already know everyone so you can strike up conversation with anyone. I can't walk up to someone on the street and just start talking about a new biz opportunity in Pittsburgh or Atlanta (the cities I've spent most of my life in) - there has to be a bit of an awkward-at-first meeting, then convo sparks up, then we talk about life/work, and finally I invite them to share in a biz opp. It's not a science, but more of an art form for those skilled at it.

This was very hard for me (as I imagine it is for you) when I was doing MLM. It was easy to talk candidly with my friends and my mom and get them to sign up. In a small town everyone is your friend or your mom. What the heck is your holdup??! Light a fire under your @$$ and get moving!

Now on the retail end of things, you could boost your BV by selling more and getting your downline to do the same. That's another area of your business that the members of this forum can be a tremendous help. I know that much from experience.

While Core4 looks like a pretty nice opportunity and I wish you the best, keep in mind that there are tons of private label vitamin retailers doing enormous volume already and the profit margin is likely greater than what you're seeing with Core4.

Is this MLM just internet based or are you having some sort of team meetings and things like that?

I just joined this forum you guys are great. I have just been reading this thread. I you guys have been a lot of help.

Sounds to me you are doing the right things maybe just expecting a little to much to soon. MLM like any other business can earn you decent money but you have to put the time and effort in which you seem to be doing.

You say you live in a small town, how far away is the next town to you? get down there and do some advertising and sponsoring the same way you have in your home town.

When I was in mlm I used to sponsor a couple of people in one area and then every week hold meetings for them so they could bring their friends along and help them to sign these up to their business which is ultimately yours. By teaching them the same methods you will strat to see some decent growth in your group

All the best with your venture

Im trying to get people to help me out gettin new people that are interested in either losing weight or making alot of money.

My old boss used to be one of the most successful recruiters for offline businesses that I have ever known and I suspect his method could be "tweaked" for online business. What he'd do is go and visit the competition and talk to the folks working there. Then, he would offer them a BETTER deal if they came to work for our company than they were getting at their current company. Worked very, very well, too.

First of all, NEVER give away your sales/referrals. Depending on the commission structure you can place new recruits where they can help out the most, but don't out right give people away. This will just create whiners and snivelers who's hand you will have to hold the entire way. I have never personally seen someone who was given sales/referrals succeed and everyone I know that has been successful has never had a sale/referral given to them.

Secondly, I would STRONGLY suggest you find a good network marketing trainer and plug in to their system. Why? Simply because you don't want to be Elvis. If you make it all about your training and your help, what happens in a few years when you want to retire? Your team falls apart because it's been about you. You want to build a business where no one would notice if you "left the building" tomorrow.

I would recommend Dani Johnson, simply because she has a solid program for your people to plug in to (free weekly training calls and then paid training seminars monthly). Her script book and CD programs are spot on. She is very religous and it comes out in her training, so if you're not on the same page with her on it, you'll have to just turn a deaf ear to it. The results she'll get you are worth it.

Whatever you do, the key to MLM is to have a system. Your business needs to be system based, not people based, that way as the people change (and they will) your business keeps growing. Your job is to set the example with your numbers and build team trust and loyalty. I would definitely outsource the training. If you train your people, then they are going to follow your example and train their people and so on and so forth. It's like a game of telephone and it will fall apart fast and is the number one reason people have a hard time building deep. Instead, have everyone go to the source for the training, whoever you decide that source should be (not you, you'll regret it later).

Good luck! Realise that you're building for the long term, it doesn't have to happen overnight. Much better to build a business that you can walk away from in 5 years or less than to get caught on the treadmill of rebuilding every month because of flash in the pan success.

Feel free to pm if you want help or advice. I'm passionate about network marketing, I've seen it change a lot of people's lives.
