Everyone who is in Network Marketing or any direct sales understands the most important asset in there business is have a constant flow of qualified prospects.

But the fact is….

Most people who start out in network marketing don’t understand the concept of building a prospecting funnel for their business. They start out from a stand point of “I hope” this is going to work. So it is only natural for them to sound uncertain when talking with their friends and family.

And nothing has changed since the beginning….

Your prospects picks up on you’re uncertainty and they don’t feel confident in joining you. And the message playing in your heads goes something like this, “if someone would sign up with me I would feel more confident.” Right?

And this goes on, and on, and on…..

Are you seeing the vicious cycle? This is one of the biggest reasons people quit Network Marketing . They don’t see a way to get out of this dreaded place. If you could show them a way to create an endless stream of prospects, they could make up in numbers what they lack in skill. The earn, as you learn philosophy.

The problem with going to friends and family is their lives are exactly the way they designed them. Coupled with, you are the sum average of your five best friends. There are exceptions to the rule, but for the most part, people are comfortable having a job. Which is why they say, “this is one of those pyramid things.”

But the truth is what they are not saying….

As mentioned before, peoples lives are exactly deigned to be the way they are. Even though the majority of this country is in debt up to their eyeballs, stressed out and completely miserable, the thought of changing anything, makes them more uncomfortable. And rather then taking responsibility for where they are, they want to keep you down with slang comments, so you don’t challenge their belief system.

Do not misunderstand what is being said…..

This has nothing to do with people being bad or good. The majority of our successful people started with this mindset, but made a decision to take responsibility for their lives and did what was necessary to move them into success.

So, with that said…

This is why you want a build a prospecting funnel the sucks in prospects like a vacuum on steroids. Knowing you have an endless supply of qualified prospects gives you confidence in knowing you can make some mistakes while you learn to become a master recruiter. Not only do you not have to worry about not having leads anymore, you can also create multiple streams of income with generic products.

If you can image the internet being a spider web, the center of it will be your prospecting funnel or your nerve center. Everything you put out on the web ties back to your nerve center and once your prospects are there, you educate them on how to be successful. You are probably wondering how, if you are not there, right?

This is where is gets really exciting…..

What determines how much you get paid is the value you bring to the market place. Once you really understand this, you will do everything possible to add more value to yourself, so you can teach others. Basically, you want to become a solution provider for other peoples problems. Its like Zig said, “You can have all you want, by helping other get what they want.”

If you educate people, they are not aware of you selling them. You want to embrace people and let them know they can trust you. See, 97% of people that opt in to your email list won’t join your primary business, so it is important to sale generic offers that help them succeed. There are many different affiliate programs out there that provide awesome content to network marketers.

Once you get your nerve center up and running, then you start building your social medias, letting people know who you are. Then have everything link back to your prospecting funnel. Remember, people don’t want to be sold, they want to purchase.

Here’s the brutal truth about what is going on out there….

Most people on the internet are cramming their business’s down peoples throat, not understanding, they are losing people rather then attracting them. You have heard, everything is about the first impression. People want to know if they can trust you. Providing great value and content on your nerve center is how you attract them. People join you, not your business. So be all you can be and provide great value and prospects with flock to you.

See when someone purchases one of your generic affiliate products, they become very qualified. There are two things that really stand out when someone buys a product to solve a solution. It says they are looking for an answer of how to be successful at network marketing and willing to invest in themselves to find an awesome. The second thing is the easiest person to sign up in network marketing is another network marketer. Why? Because they already understand it and want to be a part of it. And what that means for you, is no more “is this a one of those pyramid things?”

Having a prospecting funnel that sucks is a whole lot more fun, then having people justify why they think network marketing is a scam.

Wishing you all the success,
