Do you recruit from your Cold market???, Cold Market approach is not for everyone but it can be very effective and successful strategy for you if you are doing it right...

I usually get leads from my capture page and once they are in my auto responder , I usually get a call from them..Here are Questions I ask:

(1)How long you been working here ( if they are with any current company)
(2)Do you like it
(3) Are you making enough money
(4)If can show you a way to make another $1000 would you watch a short video?

Most people will ask what is it? Give them 3 -4 word answer then say watch the business overview then we’ll discuss your qualifications.

Besides in the end , They need us , we don’t need them.

How do you handle your cold market??..let's discuss and debate..

You have some good points, Adil.
When someone calls you, you have their attention. They are listening for that needed information. You can now help them to address their problem.
We can't see our own problems unless we can help others with theirs.

Mario..I also believe it depends a great deal on who calls first!.It usually happens that when your capture page and follow up email message address the prospect's needs to the core, you will most likely get a call from the prospect first as soon as he/she opts in , rather than you calling them first!..

The funnel I use that was developed by Team Inc Pro is deigned so the visitor must make a commitment before they enter their name and email. In reality they have made 3 commitments by the time the opt-in form appears. This guarantees those who opt-in are highly targeted so the time that is normally spent qualifying leads is removed. They are already qualified or pre-qualified. By the time they opt-in they have already seen a business presentation. Now, after opting in they are taken to a video sales page and placed into an autoresponder series for a limited time. All contact information is given in the series of videos.

When someone has gone through the system there really is no need to call them. If a person wants to call you they can and if you want to call them you can. Because the videos introduced you and the business your cold call is now a warm market contact. Most who are expecting contact from you know who it is that will be calling.

They say it takes 7-10 times for a person to see you before they will buy. The system I use gives them double that exposure to you before you ever call them.

that is great stephen..And I agree , the funnel does play a key role and so does the content of your follow up auto responder emails to increase conversions..

I give them a "one minute" presentation. I say, "May I give you a one minute presentation?" 99% of the time they say yes, and they get it, and I know right then and there if they are a qualified prospect or not. Learned it from a very famous person who has made millions in this industry. Anyway, I live in Los Angeles where there is literally millions of people everywhere so I do this as much as possible every day. So there are huge advantages of living in a big city as opposed to those who don't. Anyway, hope this helped. HF

I'd say in general, cold marketing is really ineffective.

Network marketing is built on warm market. So the goal is to get our cold market into warm market as quickly as possible.

Warm market to me: As long as you have a positive relationship of some sort with your prospect he/she would be considered warm market.

Right Larry, because if they are "cold" they are probably dead. All kidding aside, very good point, and well taken. HF

Right, pretty much the same process most MLM/Network Marketing Co's use online, and it's ok, but the personal touch is totally removed for the most part so there are drawbacks to any pre-qualifying system like it since the person may be expecting at least a real person to speak with them at some point sooner rather than later.

E.G. Many are turned off by just going to a video and into an email follow up system and then they have to call or do something to get in contact with a live person,and they may be a great prospect, because everybody is different (you know the different color personalities), so mostly automating the process isn't a perfect solution by no means. Anyway...

Qnce the Co. I work with has all the tools in place with it's new 3.0 platform (with like an infusionsoft type CRM system) for Brand Partners, pretty much the same thing happens with the exception being able to get the person on the phone to speak with them sooner rather than later, and if it looks like a go, get them on with a sponsor to edify asap, and enroll them right then and there with the sponsor handling most of it, i.e. handing off the ball so to speak like in football.

I have the VP of Marketing working with me directly, so it may be a little easier for me than most, but again, it's all in the simplicity of the system, and it shows people how simple the process really is, and they can see themselves doing it too (KEY).

I have a similar system for offline marketing, and it was shown to me by my group, and it's pretty much the same, but I also do give one minute presentations to pre-qualify people, and they work like a charm form my experience so far, and I learned that from a very famous guy in this industry.

So yes, weeding out the "tire kickers" and finding actual prospects has been used by many of the top Network Marketing Leaders in the industry for a long time now and again, it's nothing new under the sun, and it's now just easier for the "little guy" to do the same thing with free, and very low cost tools now.

P.S> Plus I've noticed that people are so "burnt out" with the supplements deal, that when they find out it's healthy food snacks, and not another gazzillionth supplement to "hock" they are relieved really, and even if I do say I'm a Healthy Snacks Distributor, 99% of the time, they don't think MLM, Network Marketing or Amway, and that's a very huge plus and advantage from what I've found, and every edge helps.
