Rex Harris on how to use Direct Matches for MLM prospects and leaders

One of the questions I hear the most from MLM‘ers is “how do I stop attrition?”  In other words, “how do I keep people from leaving my program for another, or just quitting in general?”

Here are a few techniques that you can use to build and keep a strong downline:

Leadership:  This is the number one problem in MLM.  People want huge downlines, but they don’t want the do the work of teaching others how to become successful.  Find a good mentor who can teach you how to become an effective leader.  If you are struggling with a failing downline, it’s time for a change and all change comes from the top… that’s you!  Don’t wait for someone else to get the job done, take charge and make things happen!

Delegation:  Most MLM sponsors only want the money that comes from having a huge downline and don’t care about the those who they bring into their business.  This is a mistake that will bring failure upon you fast.  People want to feel needed, so get to know the people in your group and delegate leadership to them so they can grow a successful business.  Find a good training platform, where you can refer people to learn.  As a leader, you should always be learning as well.

Commitment:  To most peoople, Internet business is a game or a hobby.  Business is business.  Treat your business like a business and it will pay you back!

Loyalty:  Be loyal to your downline and your business.  Program hopping, using traffic and lead generation programs that distract, money games, etc., are all damaging when it comes to focus.  If you are in charge, you control what resources your team uses, keeping the team focused and prosperous.

One of the best resources for prospecting online is a business community known as Direct Matches.  At Direct Matches, you step into an online world of would be leaders to build your MLM opportunity.  Having solid leaders on your front line, who care about the success of others, know how to teach and are teachable themselves, will make a monumental difference in the long term success of your business.

To use DM effectively, I require my students to join at the basic level (about $10 per month).  This gives them the ability to contact anyone in Direct Matches via the DM email feature.  As Direct Matches has a database in the millions, you will never run out of qualifiable leads!  Think about it… where else are you going to find leads that include photo, interests, business information and more? 

Each time a new member joins Direct Matches, I welcome them by getting them acquainted with my name.  Name recognition (branding) is the real key to success online.  Using this method I get a 99% response rate.  The only time I don’t get a response is if that person has created a phony profile.  Otherwise, it’s easy to egage people in conversation and convert them the qualified website traffic.

Rex Harris on how to use direct sales techniques to build your MLM based home business

14 years ago this summer, I answered a small classified, in a local newspaper, that changed my life.  I didn’t realize it at the time, but the skills I would learn by taking the risk I took, are skills that are helping me build my Internet based home business to levels of success that I only could dream of, all those years ago.

The ad that I answered was for a “set up and display” position for home care products.  Translated, that meant vacuum cleaner salesman.  I’m here to tell you that if you can go door to door and sell a $1500 vacuum cleaner to people you have never met before (in less than two hours) you can sell just about anything!

One of the biggest fears Internet marketers and home business owners face is the fact that it’s a “sales” based business.  It’s true.  If you are in business to make money, then 99% of the time, you have a product or service to sell.  In order for you to sell that product or service to people, you need to tell them about it.  That’s selling!

Selling is not complicated.  Selling is nothing more than knowing how to ask specific questions while building value in your product.  

Before this can ever happen, expecially in MLM and Internet based sales, you must build a relationship.  Most people here this term and think it will slow them down and that they won’t get the massive numbers they need to build their organization so they can make money fast.

The truth is, you can build an MLM, or any business, much faster, if you seek out quality, versus quantity, when it comes to prospects.  The easiest way to do this is to sell YOU!  Once people are sold on you, selling yoru product(s) is much easier.

Make a friend, make a sale!  It works!
