How To Be Successful In A MLM Business Without Ever Making A Sales Pitch

December 21, 2009 · Filed Under General 

No one likes a sales pitch. They can detect a pitch coming at them from a mile away. And usually they run away as quickly as they are able. Going directly to a pitch is the worst way to form a bond with someone. It invades their space and time.

Rather than going immediately to a sales pitch try the “un-sales” pitch. It involves educating the consumer, giving information and creating buzz.  When a visitor comes to your site and inquires about a your business and how to get involved, instead of launching into a typical sales pitch, you want to engage them on the site, and find out what their goals are. You intend to build a relationship that will bring more referrals, instead of one quick sale or turning them off so they leave feeling pressured.

Most people have reservations about home businesses because they believe the opportunity is nothing but a scam. Approaching people with a hard sale either through warm or cold leads, can actually lead to no sign ups. The point of network marketing is to brand yourself as a lead and to develop strong relationships with people.  The more information you can provide on your site that is useful to them without trying to get them to join, the more likely they will visit your site more often and eventually join of their own accord. 

“How To” articles are the best content to add to your site.  People that are in home businesses are always looking for help to grow their business and “how to” articles are a great way to get them to come back to your website on a repeat basis.  Providing these kinds of articles can build a huge fan base of people who trust and respect what you have to say and are more likely to buy products you recommend or join your business.  Allowing comments to articles is a way to get people talking.  It’s also very important to respond to each and every comment to start building the relationship with that person.

Providing useful content or training material will show people how you have been able to build a strong business and they will see that if they follow you they can achieve the same thing. They will have many questions as to how it all works, what they get out of it, how much work they will have to put into it and how much money they can make.  There are many questions and concerns people are going to have and it’s your job to answer them without adding any pressure.  Another concern is they may not have a lot of training.  They do not think they have enough friends or contacts.  If your articles can show them how to simply do it and be successful, you will have a believer.

Network marketing can be a lucrative business and the more followers you have on your site, the more likely you can build your down line with actual members who are making money for you.
