In direct sales, MLM and network marketing, people seek out opportunities and leaders who can show them the way. A strong tool for attracting people who are seeking leaders is to brand yourself as a leader in the industry.

The answer to that you can figure out on your own but, I can assure you there is something in your experience that you can capitalize on and promote as your value to others.

In a previous post titled "Will List Jumper work for building a network marketing business?" I was experimenting with a traffic exchange called List Jumper. Years ago when I had more time on my hands I used to drive traffic to various online selling sites I owned with traffic exchanges. Some traffic exchanges were good, some were not so good. The major challenge with traffic exchanges is that to get your website displayed in rotation to other viewers, you have to click links in emails and view the websites of other members. It took a lot of time in a day to click through and the return really was not there for me. Years later while promoting my MLM business I took another look at traffic exchanges and gave List…

How to lead in MLM and network marketing

Business, Home Based Business, Leadership, MLM, Network Marketing, Reading, Self Improvement, Success, Training, Work From Home
I do not believe there are natural-born leaders, especially in network marketing, direct sales or multilevel marketing. Some people may appear to be natural-born leaders on the surface but we all came into this world the same as a blank sheet of paper. Admittedly those who were raised by a leader have a head start on those who may not have been. There are certain activities which will contribute to leadership skills such as organized sports or student organizations. Some people learn leadership skills in the military. Regardless of how a person picks up leadership traits they all had to first of all learn how to be good followers. That is a universal law and it certainly applies to leadership in direct sales. Network marketing is a business of duplication…

It is always a good time for network marketing success. However, in today's uncertain economy, more people are searching for alternative sources of income and back-up plans for their job that may not be there tomorrow. If approached correctly, a lot more people are open to extra part-time or spare-time income than ever before. As always the important thing is to find out what is important in your prospect's mind. People are only concerned with what is in it for themselves. So, it is important to take time and learn more about your potential recruit to ensure your network marketing success. Ask open ended questions and follow through on their answers. For example, rather than ask would you like to make some extra money in your spare time, ask how…
