MLM Leads With No Money
Posted by: | CommentsEven the best mlm recruiters will not enroll every lead into their mlm business. Some will decide to join other opportunities, some will never take action, and there are some you really don’t even want on your team anyway. These are all valid reasons I never expect to enroll 100% of my leads.
However, there is one excuse for not joining our team that drives me nuts. I call it the money excuse. Last week I received a phone call from a gentleman who had been to my website a few weeks before. He opted in requesting more information, and had received part of a series of follow-up emails. He said he could not afford to join our team, even though we have a basic enrollment that is only $49.99!
His main reason for passing on our opportunity was that he “cannot afford it”…the money excuse. No one does a better job than our team at presenting an mlm opportunity. He had no problem with the business, the product, the comp plan or me. Just the money.
I told him that feeling he could not afford it was the very reason he should join our team. I could not think of a more compelling reason he needed to join us than the fact that he felt he could not come up with $49.99.
When a prospect tells me they have reviewed our team, our business, our marketing system, and my personal mentoring, but have decided on another opportunity, I’m OK with that. If they were an excellent candidate, I will be disappointed. Sometimes I will even be surprised. But I’m OK when they don’t join us. I know I can’t get them all. At least they made an informed decision. And I’ve got my marketing to the point where I always have more good prospects going through my system each day than I have time to follow up with.
But when they say they cannot afford it, it really drives me nuts. That’s the poorest excuse there is, usually used by those you don’t want on your team anyway.
Over the years, I have learned there are only a few options for those prospects who use the money excuse. And I am now very blunt with them. If they are really serious about creating a better future, they will find a way to get started, no matter what the enrollment cost is. If they are not that serious, they should probably remove themselves from my list and quit wasting my time.
You should take a similar approach also. Use a system that presents your opportunity properly. Keep your pipeline full of qualified prospects. You won’t have to waste time with mlm leads who use the money excuse.

Online MLM Training Tip – Get An MLM Accountability Partner
Posted by: | CommentsWhile many people are attracted to MLM and network marketing for the luxury of being their own boss and working when they choose, that freedom can actually be the reason many people fail. They simply cannot stay focused on their own.
Over the years I have found that the majority of people in our industry will achieve far more success when they have an accountability partner to work with. An accountability partner is someone who works alongside you and helps you reach a goal or live up to a commitment. They hold you accountable. They have been used with great success for many years by joggers and gym club members, in 12 step programs for addictions, and weight loss programs.
I had my first accountability partner when I was in college. My best friend, Joe and I paced each other and held the other accountable to the study habits we knew we needed to succeed. We shared clear goals and knew what we had to do to achieve them. It was far easier to reach those goals that way than to keep the commitment by myself.
In MLM or network marketing, accountability partners can do the same thing. They can help you be more productive and successful. There are many advantages to working with an accountability partner. Here are the 4 benefits I consider most important for those in mlm or network marketing:
1. Forces you to set clearly defined goals.
2. Requires you to develop a plan of action.
3. Helps you set and maintain a work schedule.
4. Forces you to stay focused, eliminating excuses and procrastination.
Choosing the right person for your accountability partner is very important. Your partner can be a friend, someone from your upline support group, a business partner in your downline, or even someone on another team. However, the person you choose must have similar financial goals and work ethic as you. A good accountability partner must be the kind of person who takes pleasure in seeing others have success and has the “I’ll do whatever it takes to be successful” attitude. He or she must be able to motivate, challenge, and encourage you. They must be someone you respect and enjoy spending time with.
An MLM or network marketing business can provide tremendous freedom. However, do not make the mistake of trying to build that business on your own. Find a good accountability partner to work with and take the smart path to mlm success.
