MLM Lead Generation - Get What You Want

MLM Lead Generation - Get What You Want:

We've recently learned lead generation is the lifeblood of an MLM marketing business, and that without customers, you don't have a business.  We also learned you need to work at lead generation, no matter how you feel about it, because very simply without it, you are dead in the water.  No leads, no team, no business.

Ok, so you're not big on generating leads.  You're shy, you're afraid people will reject you, or you don't like using the phone.  Well, you have to ask yourself some hard questions right about now.  Do you really want your business to grow and generate residual income?  If the answer is YES, then you have to do lead generation.

You'll only get the desired results if you approach it with the right attitude.  You have to want it!  If you don't, it'll show!  That doesn't mean you have to be desperate.  It means you need to be positive and confident.  If you're new to MLM marketing and networking, then fake it till you make it.  The more you do lead generation, the better you'll get at it.

To be positive and confident you have to:

* Be proactive in your lead generation duties
* Learn new skills that stretch beyond your comfort zones
* Be patient and persistent
* Understand who is your client
* Be willing to choose the right type of clients for you
* Make the first move, don't wait
* Be creative in your approach
* Be prepared to listen to find out what your client needs and wants
* Be prepared to follow up with your contacts

If you want a positive team, then you have to be a positive Leader.  If you can't find it within yourself to step up to the plate and take action each day, then your team won't either.

Are you finally getting around to getting a website set up for your company? Or, are you ready to have your existing website redesigned because you're unhappy with the way it looks or performs?

If so, you'll want the new website to be successful. In fact, as more and more business and consumers research and make purchases online, a successful website is critical to the success of your business. So, what can you do to make the new website successful? And how can you build a successful website on a small business budget?

Here are twelve secrets to website success. I know they work because I've used them to build BusinessKnowHow.com into a website that reaches 2.5 to 3 million unique individuals a year. And, I've done it the way most of you build your businesses - on my own nickel.

1. Have specific goals for your website.
2. Know your customer or site visitors and what they want to get out of your site.
3. Have pages dedicated to specific items or subjects the customer or site visitor is looking for.
4. Don't make the home page of your site a "flash" animation. Web visitors routinely skip those animations (or just leave) because they aren't interested in pretty graphics. They want facts. If you're going to use flash to demonstrate your product (or a video) let people choose to view it, don't force them to.
5. Make it easy for visitors to find what they want. Use a simple navigation structure, and if you absolutely must use drop down menus, make sure visitors can actually click on the links without the drop down rolling up before the person hits the link they want.
6. If you're selling products, have category pages plus individual pages for each type of product. (For example, if you are selling jewelry, have one page for earrings with links to individual pages for different types of earrings, such as diamond earrings, ruby earrings, pearl earrings, etc.)
7. Pay attention to search engine optimization (SEO) in setting up pages. The more closely the page title, page description, and keywords match what someone would search for, the more likely they'll find the website, and the more likely they'll buy whatever product is advertised on the page.
8. Have a means for legally and ethically capturing visitors' email addresses so you can contact them in the future.
9. Plan to advertise and market your site on an ongoing basis through all methods available to you.
10. Track and measure traffic, bounce rates, sales conversions and progress.
11. Ask for feedback from site visitors.
12. Stay in contact with site visitors (those who gave you their email addresses) on a regular basis so they remember to come back to your website.
