As part of my mlm prospecting routine I usually turn to facebook for free leads. Facebook has over 800 million people that all give away their occupation, hobbies, friends and daily activities on their profiles! Most network marketers don\u2019t realize what a huge opportunity this is to build your business big and long term.<\/p>\n

A large percentage of my mlm team asks me how I\u2019ve been able to sponsor almost 70 people from facebook for absolutely free, and my answer has always been contact people that you think you\u2019d like to work with and just find out more about them. Remember that when you\u2019re mlm prospecting your biggest job is just to be a friendly networker. Just make a friend and don\u2019t worry about the \u201crecruiting\u201d part, but make sure you aren\u2019t wasting your time with negative\/crazy people either.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve found that people have ten times better results on facebook if they use these easy tricks:<\/p>\n

MLM Prospecting Tricks for Facebook:<\/h1>\n

1. Use Their Name<\/h2>\n

Sounds simple, but most people don\u2019t do this in the initial contact. There have been a lot of spammers out there contacting people and just copying and pasting the same message, completely disregarding the \u201cbuild rapport\u201d stage and going straight for the jugular by sending them a link to their business.\"\"<\/p>\n

Because of this, people already have their guard up when you reach out to them By simply including their name in the subject line (example: hey (name)\u2026) and saying it in the message as well, the propsect now knows that you sent them a PERSONAL message rather than a spam message.<\/p>\n

2. Start MLM Prospecting Locally on Facebook<\/h2>\n

When you prospect someone local, they almost immediately feel as if they have a connection to\u00a0 you and vice versa. You immediately have things you can talk about and if the conversation moves in the right direction you have the opportunity to meet. The other great thing about talking to people locally is that if they decide to get involved in your business you can build locally and have a better chance of keeping them involved. You can do meetings for them and the people they get involved. I count local signups as a bonus because it is sometimes easier to communicate and get them going properly.<\/p>\n

3. Three messages back and forth before a pitch on the business<\/h2>\n

Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but if you keep as a good rule of thumb to have three communications through message at least back and forth by each party before asking if they are open to your business, you\u2019ll score infinitely higher than all the other facebook spammers.<\/p>\n

A rule that follows within rule #3, is that even with sending your third message while mlm prospecting, make sure you ONLY send a link if the other person gives the go ahead.<\/h3>\n

This is one of the biggest mistakes I see people make is they send a link too early. A good thing to keep in mind is to always ask someone if they\u2019d like you to send over some information after they say they\u2019re open. The answer when I ask this question is almost always yes.<\/p>\n

The Bottom Line:<\/h1>\n

We all know the bottom line when it comes to the mlm profession is if you keep going through the numbers and don\u2019t quit eventually you\u2019ll find the few good people that you need to make it happen. What you lack in skill make up for in numbers and chances are you\u2019ll build a huge business.
