Generating leads will certainly help you build your network marketing business. If you are just getting started, you are probably wondering about the best recruiting strategies. It isn’t easy to find customers and recruits to buy products and join your network. It’s not as easy as many people make it out to be! Here are some simple strategies that are easy to master and will deliver great results:

Attend Local Networking Events

Attending local events is the best way to generate local network marketing leads. Find and attend local festivals, seminars and fairs that are relevant to your industry or niche product line. These events can be prime locations to meet local people that show a particular interest in your industry.

Local leads are extremely helpful in launching the initial expansion of your MLM business. By recruiting locals to join your network, you will greatly improve your chances for success.

Make Use of the Internet

Internet opportunities are also great for network marketers that are trying to accomplish lead generation. You will increase your online presence by building a website dedicated to your network marketing business and making sure that it is optimized. If you don’t know how to build a website then make use of online services that will build your website for free. All you will have to do is choose a template (what your website will look like) and upload creative content (photos and written content).

It is equally important to participate in social media. Social media will help you build a list of prospects, communicate fluidly with them, and build relationships with your followers and friends.

Never Forget Your Business Cards!

You never know when a prospect will appear. Make sure that you are ready for a presentation at any time, anywhere. This is where keeping business cards on your person will come in handy. Create attractive and informative business cards that you can hand out to prospects. Regardless of whether you are visiting a local street fair or on a business trip, business cards are a prime way for the people that you meet to remember and find you.

Also, make sure your business card is innovative and sets you apart from everyone else. Develop yourself as you would a brand and market accordingly.

Content-Based Lead Generation

If you can establish yourself as the authority of a particular industry then your lead generation efforts will go much more smoothly.

Build online content by using blogs, social networks and guest posting. This will give you an opportunity to build your reputation and reach out to a larger audience. Content-based marketing strategies can be time consuming but they deliver long-term results.

The growth of your business will depend on your lead generation skills. Seize the opportunities that you come across. Be confident and have fun when you approach people! Use new technologies and communication methods to reach an even larger group of prospects. Start locally and expand from there.

– We want to get the fundamentals and the basics down… get a good review of what needs to be done to be successful…

looking to take our business to the next level and build relationships.

The MLM Startup Conference is perfect for executives who have a lot of questions that need answered by a broad range of experts. It is also perfect for those who need general knowledge about the network marketing industry.

We’ve concluded the February 2015 Conference and scheduled the dates for our next event! The February Conference had in attendance over 100 people, from 65 MLM companies, representing 20 states and five countries (U.S., Canada, South Africa, Mexico, and Brazil).

The next Conference takes place May 14 and 15, 2015 in Las Vegas! Executives/owners of MLM, network marketing, direct selling, and party plan companies are invited to attend. Learn how to structure your compensation plan, create a legal business structure, recruit top-ranking consultants, develop a business model, generate leads, find funding, build your website and back office, find the right technology provider, and so much more.

Attendees also have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with the expert speakers. Our conference is an educational event. You decide who you’d like to speak with one-on-one. Do you have questions about the legality of your business plan? Sign up to meet with Attorney Jeff Babener, who has spent over 28 years representing companies in the direct selling industry. Do you have questions about your compensation plan? Sign up to meet with compensation plan consultant Mike Sheffield, who has also spent over 25 years in the industry. A full list of speakers and their expertise can be found here.

The conference covers a broad range of topics and also answers specific questions, such as: What is the importance of DSA membership for network marketing companies?

A: In an industry with potentially thousands of direct selling companies, only a select few hundred have become members of the U.S. DSA (Direct Selling Association). The DSA is a national trade association for the direct selling Industry. It has existed for more than 100 years in various forms and it sets standards for consumer protection and ethics by its member companies. It is widely recognized by federal and state legislatures and regulators, and has played a meaningful role in shaping legislation that impacts the direct selling industry. Many countries have affiliate “DSAs” and are joined under the umbrella of the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations. (WFDSA).

Since member companies are required to commit to a significant consumer protection Code of Ethics and to go through an extensive “vetting” process, membership brings a respect that is very valuable to distributors as they promote the programs of member companies. In addition, the DSA affords significant educational conferences and ongoing updates on industry issues to both members and to the public.

Do you have a specific question? The MLM Startup Conference is perfect for executives who have a lot of questions that need answered by a broad range of experts. It is also perfect for those who need general knowledge about the network marketing industry.

Consultants are given replicated websites by established companies.

Many companies require their consultants to use replicated websites because they are rightfully concerned about unauthorized medical and earnings claims as well as confusion in the search engines. Therefore, many leading companies provide authorized replicated websites to distributors and prohibit individual-created websites.

There are three primary reasons for this, which include:
1. To avoid unauthorized medical and earnings claims
2. To assert control over the company’s trademark
3. And, to avoid distributor websites competing against the primary company website in a way that the company website gets lost or is displaced from the top of search results for the company or its products.
