by David Ledoux
How big is your list in network marketing? Do you have enough MLM leads? If you don't have MLM leads pouring in on a daily basis, chances are you aren't talking to enough prospects.
How do we know that people involved in network marketing don't have enough people to talk to? How can we boldly state that the #1 problem in multi-level is not having enough mlm leads?
Simple. We asked 1000 new mlm distributors a simple question. "what is the single biggest problem you face in your MLM business?"
The overwhelming majority said "generating mlm leads".
Want further proof? We used the popular Overture search engine to track the keyword searches in July 2004. If you search "MLM" it brings up a related list of all searches that month. Here is part of the list:

If you don't have enough people to talk to, wouldn't you agree
that your downline doesn't either? That is why so many
rookies struggle and downline retention is such a challenge.
3 Things To Do Right Now For Your MLM Business
1. Research lead brokers. Be extremely careful! No one can generate a better lead than you. Often lead lists are old, stale genealogies from defunct mlm companies. Or worse, they are nothing more than email spam lists. Never risk too much money on buying leads. Start small and test. Test, test, test! Talk to your Mastermind Team and compile data on the good, the bad and the ugly of lead generation companies.
2. Get trained. Research free MLM training, paid coaching and phone consulting, and work with your upline. Find out how the top recruiters in your company do it. Discover what works and model it. Tony Robbins says, "success leaves clues".
3. Learn how to market better. It takes an average of 3-7 exposures for the average prospect to take an interest. Most rookie networkers quit far too soon on a lead. There is gold hiding in every member of your downlines list of unworked prospects. Teach your team how to tap that goldmine!
You are at a huge advantage. Once you discover the biggest problem your downline faces, you can begin to create solutions to help them.
Good luck in your business!
