How To Generate Leads Effectively Online for Your Network Marketing Business

When we start marketing online, and putting our business out there so that those who are interested and looking for a Network Marketing business can find us, it’s tempting to wonder how fast it will happen, and how we can generate massive numbers of leads, just like the hype, smoke and mirrors promises. It can seem overwhelming, right?

How do I find dozens of people online for my Network Marketing business and how do I avoid overwhelm?

2 parts to the question, attracting prospects and avoiding overwhelm.

Let’s start with attracting prospects.

It starts with your system, and the content you create that attracts and engages others.

It’s not about hype and blatant advertising, although we are tempted to do that.

I learned this from my experiences early on when participating on discussion boards, groups and forums online before social media...

Build a Successful Network Marketing Business During the Pandemic

Jackie Ulmer, Network Marketing Business Coach is interviewed by Shari and Kim of Kiss Corporate Goodbye on how to build a successful network marketing business; why now is the perfect time; how to launch and relaunch your business. We talk about the skills, mindset, the negative stigma of Network Marketing and how to set realistic expectations. During the Pandemic, people are looking for solutions and home business is what they want.

So it's interesting. And this was before social media.

Obviously, YouTube didn't exist - Facebook, Instagram, none of those existed, Blogging wasn't a thing, it was a bit of a different world, but still the vision that I caught was that it can put me out there and it could leverage my time, just like we're doing right now, the three of us are leveraging our time because the 30 minutes to an hour that we've been doing this and having this conversation, we spend one time, and it's...

Network Marketing is thriving during the Pandemic. It's a unique time in world history.

Let’s talk about …..

Why Now is the Best Time to Build Your Network Marketing Business

People are scared, jobless, lost wages, health issues, children home, need flexible solutions. Working from home seems obvious. Google Search for home based business are surging.

You need vision, content, marketing strategy and business skills to attract, sponsor people, create success..

I couldn’t be more excited for today’s show, based on my 20+ years building an online business and what I’ve experienced. We will cover:

WHY NOW - We are in a unique time in the world, so why do I believe that now is the perfect time to build?

When was the best time to plant a shade tree? 20 years ago, but when is the second best time? Right now. Another 20 years is going to pass, are you going to have shade at the end?

My story - ...

We are just beginning the second half of the year so many of us looked forward to - 2020.

What happened? Well, we know what happened and what’s been happening. Gotta keep pushing forward, regardless.

It is my hope that this finds you and yours healthy, happy and ready to thrive moving forward.

Let’s dive into how to 

Make the Next 6 Months Your Best 

We know the 1st 6 months has been absolutely crazy, and I think you would agree. Globally, we have experiences things we would never have guessed.

And, while we have no control over much of what’s happened, we do have control over our thoughts, our mindset and the actions we take.

So, for me, my question when this all started has been how will I choose to show up as a leader?

How will I maintain my focus; my service to others and maintain my business through all of this, while assisting others in also growing and thriving in their business.

...

Emotional and Business resilience is important to your overall success and peace of mind.

Life gives us lemons 50% of the time. Let’s make lemonade from them.

We count on that superstar in Network Marketing, and then they don’t join or quit. Someone laughs at our decision.

Real Estate can be the same - EVERYONE seems to have their Real Estate license.

We must learn to stand out, get noticed, get the sale.

First, we must learn to navigate life’s challenges.

This week has been a whirlwind.

My son and his wife welcomed their first child and our first grandchild into the world. So excite to meet this new little bundle.

Less than 24 hours later, a devastating tornado blew through Nashville, Tennessee, literally right next door to my daughter’s apartment.

She is fine, but the aftermath and going through something like that alone, in the darkness is rattling. And, the power is out all...

We can spend way too much time getting stuck in thinking we need more knowledge; more answers; more time….

Let’s start with what you know NOW…

What do you know already about your business?

We’ve covered clarity on:

How

Why

What you truly sell

Next, we move to commitment.

We get stuck thinking we “need” to know more in order to even get started, much less to be successful.

But really, we don’t.

We are stuck in fear, procrastination and other emotions and thoughts that are coming up for us.

Right now; what are the fears that hold you back in your business?

Are you afraid someone will ask a question you don’t have the answer to?

How is this holding you back now? Are you in the ditch of your business?

Is it true that you must have the answer to everything?

Do you know...

Have you taken the time to identify, get clear and define the systems that make you successful in your business?

How are you doing with being consistent?

And, what do you do to stay accountable?

Systems are what create a breakthrough around a lot of ways for you in your business.

A system gives you a roadmap to follow, so you know every step of the way where you are; and where each person is; and what the next step is.

McDonald’s is a great example of a company that strives on systems.

In the video and the audio, I share my story of using what I learned about systems to create my own success as a high school student working at McDonald’s in the 80s, and how I won the Saturday lunch sales contest almost every week.

What are your business systems?

Get clarity on this so you have a more simple system.

What are you selling?

Then, define those systems and for me, 3 primary things are part of my...

Often, we don’t understand what it is we truly sell.

On the last episode, we talked about clarity behind your values and priorities. That’s at show 353.StreetSmartWealth.me

What you sell is NOT your company, or your product name; or even type of product.

We sell solutions, experiences a result.

It’s ultimately the “Transformation” that you client is going to experience through your product, service or offer.

So, we start with what the challenge is that they have. What do they need a solution for?

You’ve probably heard, no one goes to the hardware store to buy a drill; They go to buy a hole in wall.

Who is your ideal client? Have you written out the avatar for up to 3 unique profiles? Some of the traits may be the same, but hav ing 3 allows you to speak to a broader audience.

What are their main challenges, obstacles, problems?

Make a list.

Then, what is the solution of...

Are You Clear on Your Values? Your Priorities?

I run my life and my decisions around a few key concepts. One of those is the 3 Cs for Success, which are Clarity, Commitment and Consistency. Today, let’s cover Clarity on Your Values and Priorities.

My focus word for 2020 is accomplished, and I’ll cover how these all fit together.

The definition of clarity is the quality of the “state” of being clear. Having a clear understanding of what and why.

And, ideally, so others are clear as well.

Do you have clarity around your life goals and priorities?

When these are clear for you, it creates more joy and simplicity in your life.

I base my values and proprieties around my 5 Favorite F Words. My value and marketing “buckets” come from this.

I started with my WHY in each area, and also incorporated my focus word into each one.

2019 - The Year in Review

Welcome to one of the most powerful shows of the year, where we close out the year, and in this case, the decade as well, and prepare to really rock the new year and decade coming. 

First, as I have been coaching on, start with your Thought Downloads (TDL) and your journal and begin to go through your calendar and what has happened through the year.

It’s a lot of fun to do this, and reflect on what’s happened that you may gave already forgotten about.

As I have shared many times

Life is 50/50

50% positive and flowing; and 50% frustration and unhappiness.

Steve Jobs shares a quote, and I am paraphrasing here, but he says - You can’t connect  the dots looking forward, only looking backwards.

And, while this can be true, what if we made the decision to be very intentional about our lives, and worked to connect the dots moving forward be being aware, and having clarity....
