Everyone
has lots of friends, relatives and business associates.
This
is sometimes referred to as `Your Warm Inner Circle'. There
are
estimates that the typical person knows about 800 people in
his
inner circle. The standard MLM approach is for you to try to
sell
to your sphere of influence or your inner circle.
The
nice thing about this postcard programme is that you don't
have
to personally try to sell anyone anything. Instead, you can
just
write a short note on the front of the postcard and send it
off
to the people that you know. Consider writing a note like
this,
"John, I thought you might like a copy of this -- Mary."
Don't
make the mistake of giving this plan away. If you do, it
will
defeat your whole programme. Make a list of everyone that
you
can think of that might appreciate knowing about this
opportunity.
Then simply post off a few of these cards. Don't
forget
the following:
69
Family
70
Friends
71
Neighbours
72
Business acquaintances
73
The people you buy from
FAX
MACHINES
74
FAX machines. If you have access to fax machine, you can FAX
hundreds
of FREE copies of the postcard to hundreds of local
business
offices! Make up a sheet of paper and write or type a
note
on it with a copy of the postcard and you're all set!
TELEMARKETING
TECHNIQUES
Not
many people like to sell by using the telephone, but then
again
there are a lot of people that do! One thing is for sure. A
good
telemarketing person can quickly sponsor a lot of people in
this
programme for you. If you are comfortable with the
telephone,
let me show you an easy way to promote this programme.
If
you are not comfortable with the phone, let me show you how to
find
telemarketing people that you will want to sponsor into your
MLM
programmes by selling the MO/MLM Machine.
75
How to do telemarketing. The trick is to work with referrals.
That
is, you want to call people that have been referred to you.
If
you call someone and say, "Mr so-and-so asked me to call you",
you
can be sure that the person will be cordial and attentive.
Compare
this approach to the cold calls you get from strangers
who
try to sell you something out of the blue over the phone.
Many
direct sales companies depend one hundred per cent on using
referrals.
When they talk to anyone, they always make a habit of
asking
for referrals. They never run out of good leads since they
are
constantly generating several referrals with each person that
they
talk to.
The
easiest way to get a few referrals is to ask your `Inner Warm
Circle'.
Simply ask your friends if they know of anyone that
would
like to earn a few hundred pounds part time by circulating
postcards.
Another way is to make a few cold calls on the phone.
Just
pick up the phone and call a few random numbers and say
something
like this. "Hello, my name is John Smith. I am looking
for
a few people in your area that would like to earn some extra
money
circulating postcards. Do you happen to know of anyone?"
Once
you have five or ten referrals, your cold calls are over.
When
you call people that have been referred to you, you change
your
sales pitch slightly like this, "Hello, my name is John
Smith
and Mary Brown mentioned that you may know of some people
in
your area that would be interested in earning a few extra
pounds
a week by circulating postcards." (Let him answer and make
a
lot of notes of the people that he is mentioning. Make sure you
get
their phone numbers.) Then say, "In fact Mary also mentioned
that
you might be interested?"
When
you talk to someone that is interested, tell him that you
will
send him a postcard explaining the offer. And do so. You may
then
want to follow this up in a few days to make sure he sends
his
order to you. To summarise, develop a few referrals, and then
snow-ball
the quantity of referrals with everyone that you talk
to.
The trick is to ask for the referrals first before you
explain
the offer.
HOW
TO FIND TELEMARKETERS THAT WILL HELP YOU
76
Find out the location of professional telemarketer offices.
You
can generally find these locations by looking in the yellow
pages.
Then go there and place postcards on the windshields in
the
parking lot.
77
Place a classified advertisement in your local paper. Say
something
like this, "Telemarketers wanted. Work your own hours
from
home. Call for details." When they call, get their name and
address
and send them a postcard!
78
Call telemarketing firms. Ask if they would be interested in
your
programme on a commission basis. If not, do they know of
anyone
that might be? (Use the referral techniques described
above!)
LOCAL
ADVERTISING TECHNIQUES
79
Place a classified ad for leads. Say something like this,
"Part
time workers needed for circulating postcards." When you
get
a call, send out the postcard.
80
Sell the plan directly by mail. Advertise: "65 Easy Ways You
Can
Make Money Circulating Postcards. Complete plan --
œ 2.00."
81
Place small space ads in local newspapers. Check out the
smaller
newspapers and freesheets and try them first.
82
Check you with your local advertising agencies. Find out if
they
have any specials offers that you might want to consider.
USE
DIRECT MAIL LOCALLY
At least
one of the MLM programmes that is being promoted with
MO/MLM
Machine plan is an excellent way for the consumer to save
money.
In that regard, any company or organisation that has a lot
of
members, employees or customers may be interested in making
these
benefits available to their associates. If you sponsor any
person
that has a lot of contacts, just think how many people he
will
be able to sponsor. If you concentrate on companies that are
small,
you normally can send your postcard directly to the owner.
These
people are shrewd. If you can show him how he can help his
associates
while he is making serious money, he may be
interested.
If
you go to the library, you will find many listings of local
organisations
that you can mail to. Here are a few to consider:
