I know I wanted to when I just started my biz…

So many fears and limiting beliefs (oh hi rejection) bubble to the surface when we ‘sell’ ourselves/our products/our ideas to people.

Not to mention dealing with the negative responses we may get when talking to friends or family.

But, like with anything worth going after in life, when you can learn how to do it well by being genuine, becoming a great listener and working hard, you will create a rock-solid business and learn to deal with setbacks more so when people say “no.”

Because I know what it’s like when just starting out, in this article I wanted to share some insights and tips on how you can master the skill of recruitment so that you too can have a thriving network marketing business.

There are many components that go into recruiting successfully, so pour yourself a glass of something tasty and let’s dive right in.

Get good at becoming a storyteller; this is how you can connect to people emotionally as opposed to just regurgitating information.

It’s all about establishing a genuine human connection.

Often in MLM businesses, you get told to make a list of 100 people you know, and while that’s not necessarily wrong, it’s important to know that most successful MLMers have very few people from their original list of 100 people in their business.

Many times what can happen is friends and family who do join your business often times come after seeing your success.

You’ve got to treat your MLM business like any other and focus on your specific target market of people who will want your product/ services and business opportunity.

Listening and asking questions is as important, if not more, than talking and telling your prospect about your business.

The only way you can find out what their needs and wants are is by asking questions.

Many people can go in all gung-ho, more focused on talking about the compensation plan, products, and services and how their company is so amazing than asking their prospects the right questions.

By asking questions you will be able to tap into the storyteller in you and connect with them through either your experience or someone else’s you know of (like your upline) and sell with that in mind:

This will be so much more personal than just any old generic pitch everyone at every single network marketing company is doing.

During a recession, prospects are hyper-sensitive to making more money and this can bring forth success with network marketing.

Use what is happening in the world as a way to really connect with people so that you can genuinely help them and thrive together.

Stay in integrity always.

Don’t try to be someone you’re not and don’t make claims that are untrue, EVER.

When people behave unethically and are ingenuine this can lead people to believe that this is the ethos of the company when in truth it’s not.

A legitimate MLM company will always want you to be honest in your dealings with customers and potential recruits.

When you genuinely believe in a product or what the business can offer someone, that enthusiasm will naturally sell to people.

Just don’t be over the top or make over-exaggerated claims that lead people to question what you’re selling.

This has got to be one of the most difficult parts of business building for anyone that is just starting.

It’s very easy to let rejection make one feel undervalued and question whether “selling” is just not what they’re good at…

I’m here to tell you that you are already “selling” your ideas, recommendations and opinions to those in your own network on a daily basis — and the fact is not everyone is going to be a good fit for your business!

Getting better at building a network marketing business is all about just getting out there, letting go of any attachment you have to the outcome and learning to not take a “no” personally.

A person’s lack of interest is not a reflection of you or what you’re proposing, it’s got to do with them and where they are currently at.

With enough patience, self-belief and hard work, you will learn to look at rejection as just another “no” closer to someone who will become an amazing recruit!

For some reason, many people don't view their MLM business as a business, like they would if they opened a franchise or started a business from scratch. One of the most important things you can do to ensure your success is to treat your MLM venture as the business it is.

Here are a few other tips to help you improve your multi-level marketing (MLM) and recruiting efforts within the world of direct selling:

To stay safe from pyramid schemes and MLM scams, arm yourself with knowledge. Learn about the direct sales industry as a whole, research MLM companies carefully, and determine if you're a good match with your sponsor. The truth is, while you can get rich in MLM, statistics show that less than one out of 100 MLM representatives actually achieve MLM success or make any money. However, that's not necessarily the MLM business' fault. Most athletes never make it to the Olympics, but that's not sport's or the Olympics' fault. Any great feat requires knowledge and action.

Too many people get caught up in the hype of potential big income from MLM, that they don't pay enough attention to what the company is asking you to sell. You can’t sell something or share your business if you don’t genuinely have pride in what you are representing. Do your MLM research and partner with a company that has a product you can get excited about. Don't forget to look into the company's compensation plan before you join and make sure it is favorable to you.

One reason that direct selling gets a bad rap is that many representatives use hype and sometimes deception to lure in new recruits. This leads many to believe that the MLM companies themselves encourage this behavior when in truth, they don't.

Legitimate MLM companies want you to be honest in your dealings with customers and potential recruits. If you love your product, your enthusiasm is enough to promote it. Just make sure you're not over-the-top or making exaggerated or false claims.

Nothing will annoy your family and cost you and friends, more than constantly pestering them about your business. There's nothing wrong with letting them know what you're doing and seeing if they have an interest, but if the answer is "no," let it go.

Many companies suggest making a list of 100 people you know, and while that's not wrong, you should consider that most successful MLMers have very few people from their original list of 100 people in their business. In most cases, friends and family who are in the business often come AFTER seeing the MLMer's success. Success in MLM comes from treating it like any other business in which you focus on the people who want what you have to offer. That means deciding who the target market is for your products/services, as well as the business opportunity.

One of the biggest mistakes new MLMers make is looking at everyone (including friends and family #4) as a potential customer or recruit. This is one area where the MLM industry gets it wrong. Like any other business, you're going to have greater success and efficiency if you identify your target market and focus your marketing efforts at them.

Many MLM sponsors will have you focus on recruiting new business builders; however, your income, in legitimate MLM, comes from the sales of products or services (whether through you or your recruits). Further, customers who love the products or services can more easily be converted into new business builders.

Just like any other business (home-based or otherwise), getting the word out about your product or service can benefit your target market is the key to generating new customers and recruits. Some ideas include sharing a product sample, inviting a neighbor to host a product party, or starting a website or social media account.

One of the benefits of MLM is the ability to bring in new business builders and profit from the sales they make in their business. While some see this as "using" others, the reality is that you're being rewarded for helping others succeed. But for them to succeed, you need to see your role not as racking up as many recruits as possible, but in being a leader and trainer. The focus then is on the success of those you help in the business, not on you.

MLM is a person-to-person to business. While many people don't like that aspect, especially in the digital age, the reality is that it's the personal touch that sells the products and business, and retains customers and business builders.

Based on your compensation plan and goals, determine how many people you need to show your products or business to reach your goals in the time you want. Doing so will ensure you grow your business rather than just sustain it.

Many companies provide scripts to help you sell the product or service. While these can be helpful in teaching you about your product and dealing with objections, sales is all about being a solution to what a customer needs. By qualifying your contact first, and then listening to their needs, you can tailor your pitch so that you're the solution to their problem.

MLMers often stick to the three-foot rule (everyone within 3-feet of you is a prospect) and other traditional marketing tactics. But direct sales is like any other business. It can and should be marketed in a variety of ways that take into consideration your target market, what it needs, how you can help it, and where it can be found. To that end, you can use a variety of marketing tools including a website (check your companies policies about websites), email,​ and social media to increase product sales and interest in your business.

One of the challenges of MLM is convincing prospects to buy or join with you as opposed to the other reps that live in the neighborhood or they know online. You're selling the same stuff as thousands of others, meaning consumers have a choice. You need to do something that makes you unique compared to everyone else. Give people a reason to choose you over other reps. Some options include more personalized service, starting your own rewards program, or something that offers greater value.

While you don't want to pester and annoy people, in many cases, with good follow up, you can make the sale or recruit at a future time. Sales is often about timing, and 'no' in sales doesn't always mean 'never.'
