Network Marketing Strategy|Finding and retaining prospects

It is important for Network Marketing companies to have strategies for finding and retaining propects. Some basic steps are essential and can be utilized by any Network Marketing company.

The following advice is written by Dr. N Khoury:

"Many Network Marketing companies have no strategy. They have no system for lead generation for their products or business opportunities, which makes distributors' lives difficult and leaves them perplexed about what they need to do.

The current network marketing strategy I am presenting should work for any network marketing company or products.

Besides the typical lead generation techniques used offline, the Internet is the best tool for lead generation. Most network marketing companies' Web sites are not designed for marketing or for capturing prospects' contact information.

The first strategic step is having your own professionally designed lead capture page. A lead capture page is a simple, one-page Web site that presents opportunity, creates curiosity, and stimulates the visitor to submit their contact information if they are interested in learning more about your product or opportunity--visitor information is sent automatically to your e-mail address. A professionally designed lead capture page costs less than $100 per year.

Then, you need to learn how to get visitors to your lead capture page using free or low-cost Internet marketing techniques. The fastest way to bring targeted traffic to your lead capture page is using pay-per-click advertising, where you pay only when you get a visitor.

The second step is contacting your prospects by phone as soon as possible in order to introduce yourself, to start building a relationship with them, and to attempt to find their level of interest and motivation. This is what you call the sorting part. Using well-targeted Internet marketing principles should bring you highly targeted prospects specific to your particular business.

Your next step is inviting your prospect to join you in a live or prerecorded conference call presentation.

Then, afterward, you need to follow up with your prospects, answer their questions, and address their concerns. It would be ideal to find your sponsor and get your prospect connected with other team members.

Meanwhile, you should regularly send automatic e-mails to your prospects, showing them the benefits of having a home-based business or the benefits of your product. These automatic messages can be set up via what are called "autoresponders."

It is recommended that you allow your prospect the time to analyze your opportunity or products; contact them later on, and, possibly, invite them to another conference call.

Most importantly, continue relationship building, depending on your prospects' personality types. In network marketing, people join people they know, like, and trust.

These strategies can be implemented effectively for any Network Marketing company."
