MLM genealogy leads can be a useful resource in establishing your network marketing company, especially if you're a skilled marketer. However, as with anything else, there are both pros and cons to using them. Herein, we'll analyze the issues surrounding MLM genealogy lists.
First Of All, The Good...
I often talk to networkers who are new to the business. More often than not, they've been told by their upline to do a list of friends, family members, and colleagues to approach about their opportunity.
This is not the best advice.
If you're selling sports cars, the best possible prospect is someone who has bought a sports car recently... which might include your pals, family members, and acquaintances.
Sponsoring someone into your MLM opportunity is no different. Preferably, you want t speak with people who have signed up with a network marketing opportunity a short while ago. These are called "opportunity buyers," and that's exactly what MLM genealogy leads are.
So, if you're thinking about getting MLM genealogy leads, you're on the right track.
The Bad...
Unfortunately, it's not usually that easy.
MLM genealogy leads are often years of age, having been pulled from the back office of companies that are no longer in business. This translates into plenty of bad numbers and people screaming, "John doesn't live here anymore... Quit phoning me!"
Furthermore, there's a great chance that the list has been sold many times. Chances are, your "fresh MLM genealogy lead" is contacted many times before you ever purchased their information.
One more issue is consumers. A lot of companies place both customers and distributors in the same report, and just because somebody purchased a product doesn't imply they'll be interested in joining an opportunity. Yet more of your time is squandered.
The Ugly...
Last of all, there's one vitally important thing to consider. Every name on the list that you bought it there for one purpose and one purpose only: they joined, or purchased product from, a MLM.
Not one of them asked for their name to be put there, neither did they ask to be solicited by you.
This influences you in two ways:
1) Lawfully, you have to be mindful in how you make contact. Since you don't have their permission, and their telephone number may be on the do not phone call list, you can't take advantage of something like voice broadcasting... and also you have to be careful with e-mail.
You can call them one by one, but that's not so efficient...
Direct mail is probably safest, but some MLM genealogy leads actually include address data. Many include name, phone, and e-mail if you're lucky.
2) It requires more skill to be successful with these leads. If you're going to pick up the phone and call them cold, you better understand precisely what you're going to say and be positive in your delivery.
If not--if they smell fear--you'll be eaten alive!
So there you have it! The good, the bad, and the ugly on MLM genealogy leads.
You might be right to be targeting opportunity buyers, but be aware that many MLM genealogy lists are aged, obsolete and full of bad data. You'll need to be careful how you get in touch with them, and when you do actually reach the person whose name is on your list you will have to handle the conversation with care.
