Training To Build Online MLM Locally

While I have done the majority of my MLM business-building online for several years now, I still train new team members on methods to build their mlm business offline, too. Even though our team focuses on online marketing methods, there are several reasons I introduce offline methods early in a new business partner’s training.

First, all of the offline methods I train are very duplicatable and free or very low-cost. If you learn the right methods, it is very non-threatening and likely to be copied by any networker who is really serious about being successful.

Second, because so many people want to rely on the Internet these days, there is very little competition for the offline methods. Even small efforts can bring big rewards. Simple offline techniques are a great way to get new people started quickly.

And lastly, it lets me test the commitment of my new business partners. If they won’t follow these simple techniques, they are probably not serious about their business. For years I’ve had the best results building my business by identifying and spending my time with my most motivated and serious business partners.

Here are the 3 most effective offline methods new team members learn in our training:

Vehicle Lettering. A one-line call to action directing prospects to either an 800 number or a website is very effective. I recommend the back window of the vehicle for best visibility. Inexpensive vinyl lettering can be ordered online or at a local sign shop.

Sizzle Cards. Also known as drop cards, these are business card size advertisements again pointing to either an 800 number or a website. They can be left on store counters, bulletin boards, with the tip at a restaurant, and a number of other places.

Collecting Business Cards. We train our team to get in the habit of collecting other people’s business cards as they go about their daily routine. We use a simple email to approach these people to see if they are open to looking at another stream of income.

Learn to use these simple but effective methods for offline and local marketing. They can create a big increase in success in your mlm business.
