Nothing Happens Until A Sale Is Made
Don't get so hung up trying to create a downline
that you forget the ultimate goal; selling the MLM
organization's product or service. You can have 10,000
distributors in your downline, yet you won't make any
money if nobody sells anything.
Therefore, you need to spend as much time working
on product sales as you spend on recruiting. Get to
know all the products and services in your company's
line. Try them yourself, or have your family try them.
When you find something you like, buy it.
Nothing convinces a customer or a prospect like
saying, "I spend my own money on these products."
(Don't lie about it -- people can tell when you're just
handing them a line. If you can't find something in
the line that you or your family will buy, find another
company to represent.)
At the same time, try competitive products to find
out the advantages of your own line. They are what you
should emphasize in talks to customers, distributors,
and prospects.
Keep up with any information provided by your
company -- news announcements, literature, meetings.
Make an effort to discuss your products with consumers.
The more you know about your products, the better you
and your downline will be able to sell them.
You and your distributors can build up product
sales via recommendations and referrals. Ask satisfied
customers if they'll provide testimonials, which may be
written, videotaped, or both. You and your
distributors can use these testimonials as selling
tools.
Similarly, have distributors ask customers for the
names of friends or acquaintances who might buy the
product. Just as is the case when you're recruiting,
it's a lot easier to get your foot in the door if,
instead of making a cold call, you can say, "Tom Gibson
gave me your name."
Don't forget, your best customers are the ones who
are most enthusiastic about your products. That's why
they keep buying. So why not ask these customers to
become distributors?
