The best network marketing leads are those that come to you with raised hands asking for your help.

A lot of people who want to build an income in MLM analyze products and they analyze companies they might join, but they don’t really ask what is maybe the most important question: Does my sponsor have a tested, proven system that I can plug into to build my business? You need to talk to the person recruiting you and find out exactly what they are doing, step-by-step, to build their business. If they just started, that is OK. So ask what is THEIR sponsor doing? You need a proven system you can just plug into. If there is no successful system in place, then go somewhere else, because that means you will have to develop your own reliable lead-generation system. Which makes your chance of success very, very small. When you analyze a system, one important aspect is … does it make sense? A good system has to feed you leads of people who are real actual targeted prospects for your business. Lots of systems just give you contact information of lots of people who have no interest whatsoever in your offer. You will not succeed in your own business of ANY kind if you have to become a salesperson. You want a lead generation system that gives you real warriors, people who are determined to succeed in network marketing, but who haven’t gotten there yet. THOSE are people you can build with.

Life is too short to have to work with people you do not want to work with. That’s one reason people choose to build an MLM business – they want to escape from a job working with people they just don’t respect or like. But sometimes a person loses sight of that fact and just wants to recruit anyone who will say “yes”, and they sign up anybody they possibly can. Your best bet is to describe the people you really want at the start and stick to them. One good yardstick when you’re talking to somebody is to ask yourself, “Is this someone I’d want to go on a 30-day cruise with?” Part of the value of MLM is that you get to pick the people you will work closely with. Why choose someone you just don’t like? Just focus on the ones who bring fun into your life, who share your dreams and goals. It’s exciting to make new friends you really like and then to be able to support them in achieving their lifetime goals.

It’s a big chore to have to talk daily to someone who is unfocused and with whom you have nothing in common, and listen to them gripe about the business you love. Best practice is to set your standards firmly in your mind when you talk to people.

These are some of the topics covered in the ebook “Success In 10 Steps” by Michael Dlouhy. Dlouhy’s book is very popular with MLMers, having passed 100,000 downloads. Many have used the strategies to build their business. Target market for the book is current network marketers who have not achieved the success they’d like in the business. Obviously, that is a huge market. The frustrated MLMer learns many key points of network marketing success, and gets a step-by-step plan for changing their results from bad to good. The book doesn’t promote any companies or products, so it has been a very popular and effective lead generation tool for a lot of people in MLM.
