The MLM phone lead may just be the most avoided lead. Many people are nervous about making contacts via the phone. It is not surprising with all the rules and laws regulating soliciting phone calls. However, the MLM phone lead can be a great tool to get a MLM business turning a profit.
There is a reason why so many companies use telemarketing as part of its marketing efforts. That is because it works. If you know what you are doing, telemarketing can be a great way to secure new recruits.
One of the biggest obstacles in using a MLM phone lead is the National Do Not Call list. There is, however, an easy way to avoid being caught up in this legislation. You simply have to make sure your MLM phone lead comes from a good source - preferably the lead themselves.
If you get your phone leads from the lead themselves then you are bypassing the regulations of the Do Not Call list. The person requested for you to call them and gave you permission to call them and so the Do Not Call regulations do not apply to your call.
To get a MLM phone lead directly form the lead you will need to gather the information through your website where the lead can fill out a request form for more information. This is the easiest way to do this.
Once you have a MLM phone lead list you need to develop a script - what you will say during the call, your pitch. You will also need to consider how to rebuttal any objections they may have.
You can then begin calling and pitching to your leads. You should see some nice results because you are using a good method of marketing, as well as contacting quality leads.

Spreading The Word About Your Online MLM Business
True to form, any individual involved in multi level marketing (MLM) will eventually have to take their business online. Some will start out on the Internet and then spread out from there into the real world, yet others will begin with a trusted friend who gets them involved in a business and once they feel that they have exhausted the circle of friends and family around them, they will look to the online marketplace and the plethora of opportunities it offers. By and large this process will begin with the creation of a website, having it submitted to websites, and then hoping for the visitors to flock to the site.
Of course, anyone who has ever noticed the myriad of business websites come and go or eventually simply lay dormant can attest to the fact that simply building a site and submitting it to search engines does not automatically translate into busy traffic. As a matter of fact, spreading the word about your online MLM business is of the utmost importance! Yet did you know that there is a right and a wrong way about getting out the word? Embark on the wrong way, and your business’ credibility will be seriously compromised, choose the right way, however, and you will ensure quality traffic to visit your site.
In days past the notion of email blitzes was considered a great way of getting out the word on anything. Even in your personal life you will encounter the individual who is quick to hit forward and then send out an email with a pithy saying or cute picture to everyone in their address book. Sometimes these emails can be a bother, especially if the graphics are slow loading, contain numerous forwarded message notations, or may contain a fact that is inaccurate. When this same individual becomes involved in MLM, the temptation is great to send out information to everyone about the new website as well, but in so doing the person will be working from a disadvantage in that she or he has already lost credibility with you and others by virtue of the emails that were sent out previously. If this example describes you, be wise and do not disseminate information about your business in this manner. Instead, opt to include a text link to your website in your email signature. This will have a greater impact than sending out a blitz outright.
Speaking of email advertising, spreading the word about your online MLM business with the help of email marketing come back to bite you in more ways than one. Do not buy lists of indiscriminately obtained email addresses but instead pay considerably more and purchase qualified leads instead. This will prevent you from getting the reputation of being a spammer. Similarly, if you choose article marketing or blog marketing, be very careful that you do not spam article sites, forums, and blogs since this is not only a quick way to get you banned from these venues, but it will also result in your business’ name and also product getting a bad rep online – an occurrence you will want to avoid at all costs.

Taking The Vampire Out Of Online MLM Business Networking
You just got started with a new online MLM business and you want to tell everyone online about it. So, you sign up for all kinds of message boards, email groups and other business networking websites.
Before you do anything, please realize that you are dealing with REAL PEOPLE. The Internet seems like this anonymous place where you might feel people won’t really notice you if you engage in any vampirish behavior, but realize that the Internet is no different than dealing with people offline.
Treat people with respect, get to know them first and you’ll have plenty of valuable contacts for your business. No, most probably won’t join your business opportunity, but they will teach you a lot about business, will refer others to you and will be a great asset to your business – even if they never buy a thing from you.
Some Online Networking No-Nos:
- Sending private messages or emails about your business opportunity or products to another member is in poor taste. If you want to contact someone privately because you feel you have something in common, go for it, but don’t recruit or sell.
- When you introduce yourself on a networking group, it’s usually okay to say what you do…but don’t invite people to check out your website or say that you are looking for new customers or recruits.
- Even if a message board or networking group allows you to post ads in certain places or on certain days, don’t bother if you’re new. Get to know the group first and then they’ll be more interested your offers.
When you have a new business, it can be stressful and you feel pressure to get results. The important thing to remember is that results come from building long-term relationships and not from preying on online networking groups.
Don’t suck the blood out of all your prospects and people who can connect you with potential prospects before you even get started.

Methods Of MLM Lead Generation
MLM lead generation is a skill that a person has to develop if they want to be successful in multi level marketing. Having a steady supply of leads is important if a person wants to continue to make good money.
MLM lead generation is the process of getting leads. It is not enough, though, to just gather leads. A person has to be able to generate quality leads.
A quality lead is a lead that will likely produce a positive result. It is a lead for a person who wants to know more and who is interested in signing up with the MLM business.
Generating quality leads can be tricky. Getting any old lead is easy and that is where many people go wrong.
To be successful in MLM lead generation a person needs to get leads from a reliable source. The best source is from the leads themselves.
This can be done on a website. Many people put a request box on their website where a person can leave their contact information. These people are asking to be contacted in regards to the MLM opportunity. This is a great method, but the dependability is not that good since it relies mainly on people taking the time to enter their information.
Another good source is high quality lead companies. These companies have a good reputation for supplying quality leads. A person has to buy the leads, though.
Lead generation can also be done through writing articles and submitting them to article directories. This involves a person writing an article and filling out their bio with their website information so people can contact them.
There are plenty of ways to go about MLM lead generation. Once a person finds the method or methods that work for them they can expect to have a good steady supply of MLM leads.

How To Choose The Best MLM Leads
What are the characteristics of the Best Mlm Leads? This is a good question to ask before you spend any money buying leads to build your MLM business. Before we get to that let's take a look at why you would want to buy MLM leads in the first place.
Over the years the multi-level marketing business has gotten a black eye because of the over hyped promises of money and freedom. Very few people have ever achieved a high level of success in any MLM business. And even fewer have ever been able to maintain the level of achievements over a period of time.
That does not make MLM companies bad. Nor does it make the opportunities they afford the average person as a way to make extra money or even as a way to drastically change your lifetsyle. It can be done and using MLM leads is a great way to do it.
There are 2 big benefits to buying MLM leads.
1. It gets you away from approaching your friends and relatives. If you have been in more than one MLM business over the years you may have already approached them and used up your credibility when you were unsuccessful.
2. This is a duplicatible way to build your business that you can pass on to your downline. Any successful network marketing business will tell you that one of the main components of success is duplication. Anyone can buy leads and work them over the phone or thur the internet with the use of an autoresponder.
If you are unsure of how to work a lead over the phone I would suggest getting the book "Recruit Your Way To Millions" by Fred Stegge. After reading this book you will be able to explain what you do and what you offer to a new prospect in 30 seconds or less.
http://www.team-schuman.com/recruit-your-way
If you are unsure of what an autoresponder is or how to use one read this article I wrote "How To Effectively Use An Autoresponder." This is an absolutely essential business tool if you are going to succeed online with your MLM business.
http://team-schuman.com/articles/article15.html
Now that you understand some of the benefits of buying MLM leads and how to market to them let's take a look at what are the characteristics of the Best MLM Leads.
1. How many times are the leads sold? Many MLM lead companies sell their leads over and over. You will be contacting a prospect that has already been marketed to. Personally I like eads that are exclusive to me.
2. How old are the leads? Would you rather contact a prospect that has expressed an interest in the past 48 hours or in the past 48 days. Being able to strike while the iron is hot so to speak is a great benefit of a fresh lead.
3. How many leads do you get for your money? Obviously the more leads you can get for the best price the more leads you can buy at a time. This is especially important when you are first starting or when you are helping your downline get started.
4. What is the quality of the lead? Nothing compares to a lead that contains both a phone number and email address along with a few qualifying answers to questions like "How much can you invest to get started" or "How soon do you want to get started" or When is the best time to contact you?" If a prospect is answering these type of questions you are getting a much better quality lead than if you just have a name and email address.
5. What is the response rate? This will improve as your skill level at working your leads improves, but the fresher higher quality leads will give you a better response rate even when your skill level is low.
6. Do your leads come with any extras such as an autoresponder, training on how to work leads, pre-written email marketing letters, phone scripts, your own website, flash presentations, etc.
These are the top qualities of the Best MLM Leads. Be careful when choosing a place to get your leads. Not all MLM Lead companies are created equal. It is going to be the single most important decision you make when trying to grow your MLM Business. Make the wrong choice and you will waste your time and money as well as the time and money of your downline. Make the right choice and you can be building your business successfully for years to come.

Evaluate A MLM Business Lead
The MLM business has been around for quite some time. With the introduction and rapid use of the internet, though, MLM business has become very popular. When it comes to looking at and evaluating a MLM business lead, a person has to be very serious or they could end up losing out.

The MLM business has been around for quite some time. With the introduction and rapid use of the internet, though, MLM business has become very popular. When it comes to looking at and evaluating a MLM business lead, a person has to be very serious or they could end up losing out.
MLM or multi level marketing is a concept that is widely used on the internet for internet business. MLM once had quite a bad reputation because people started abusing the idea and created a spin off, which became known as a pyramid scheme.
The main distinction between a pyramid scheme and a genuine MLM business lead is that an MLM will have products to sell and have a solid business background. A pyramid scheme, on the other hand, simply is all about signing people up and having them pay to sign up which is where the money comes from.
Besides making sure the opportunity you are looking at is not a pyramid scheme, you should also look at a few other things.
You need to seriously look at the company. Make sure it is a solid company with a good product and good ideas. You may want to talk with people or do research into the company.
You should also look at how you are paid. You should be able to make a good amount of money through selling the products without having to recruit anyone. Of course, recruiting is going to be where the most money is found, but initially, you should be able to profit from your efforts alone.
Lastly, if you have to pay anything upfront without getting anything in return then it is not a good idea to get started with the company. You should also not have to make purchases with the company in order to make any money.
Getting a good MLM business lead is something that you can easily do because there are many good companies out there. The bottom line, though, is you have to evaluate a MLM business lead before just jumping into it because there still are some scams out there that can waste your time and cost you money.
