Chris Janssen | | We've established that the friends and family approach that many are still teaching out in this industry is not the way to go. So...with that being established, where is it that you DO recruit people for your business? What has worked and what hasn't worked for you? We have some people joining this network that are new to the industry and they are looking for answers like this. I know that what works for one person or even in one company will not always work across the board, HOWEVER, as with many of the topics on this network, lets get the ideas flowing out there and perhaps we'll help someone in the process.
Thanks in advance for your willingness to share.

Recruiting, Recruiting Recruiting!
The bane of the Volunteer Army of Military and Network Marketers.
Why does everyone make it so difficult?
The Army, Navy etc. have a good story to tell. They show the benfits over & over again. They make a very concious effort to SEEK out Likely Candidiates.
Not Networkers. No some un-informed Up-line talks about Warm Market--- who do you know? who is alive!
Why not first define what kind of person would want your product, who can afford it, and (the very few) who has the ambition, discipline and success history to be a Business Builder.
Geting customers is easy, if you lead with benefits. Don't need a warm market for Product ( if the product is real). How many networkers have a delivery route, visited weekly, where they place Product information, where people congregate and may have time to read?
Next to None, I bet.
That all most sounds like work, well it isn't if you are having fun!
"Work is being where you don't want to be."
As far as recruiting Business Builders, pretend you are a Big game Hunter.
Learn their turf, study the animal's habits, find out how to get close enough for the Shot. Drip, drip, drip ideas.
Also be sure they are very busy people, those are the ones who succeed.
You can't talk a person into being a success, they have to already be there.
Remember you were told by the up-line Gurus,
"You only need 4-6 Business builders."
That's bogus too.
They say that so you won't be frightened away, because it may sound like "work."
And most of them don't understand it is FUN, it is a Big Game.
How many times in history have one of those strong legs gone south, and left the organization hanging.
Why not think of this as a business. Novel thought. It is not a hobby.
Any decent business person would never rely on a shallow foundation of just a few movers & shakers.
Remember, people die, become disabled, get divorces or move on to some shysters NEW DEAL.
Recruit everyday. Keep the binoculars handy, look for that busy ambitious, success oriented person who would really wants to talk to you.
Remember, they are successful because they are YES People. They have said YES to many new ideas. They are used to saying YES. I never met an ICON who ever said NO to new ideas. They usually say "very interesting", so make sure it is VERY Interesting. If they had closed minds they couldn't be successful.
Recruiting is the easiest part of newtorking, if you understand what it is you are seeking. It forces you "to move up".
Time for bed. Aren't you all happy about that.

Tony Williams | | Good topic Chris,
I am going to try and keep this simple and try not to promote.
As I am probably like many but then in the few, I decided to seek out training before I invested into a business.
I was given 2 market tested scripts, one for recruiting and one for retail. Very simular but different.
I was taught to make the scripts part of me and to understand the words - why they were said and when they were said.
I didn't understand for awhile but over the past summer it started to click.
These scripts I used when I contacted leads. Leads that I paid for, leads that were given to me, and leads I actually generated on my own.
I recommend getting training on the basics of prospecting and then recruiting. This is for many reasons.
The recruiting up - people that are already successful is a great strategy but does not work if a person does not have the skills and experience, basically they are un-professional marketers and will be seen as such.
Especially if they can't show what value they bring to the table.
When newbies gain the skills and experience - their confidence will sore and their professionalizm will also begin to show.
People that are success driven will be attracted to this and recruiting will be easy.
Tip: Qualify everyone
Tip2: Not a constant but - Those that you think will build the business won't and those you think won't will.
Be open minded, patient and supportative and the true leaders and business builders will raise to the top.
Summary: Where do you "recruit" new associates for your business?
Everywhere - if you know what to look for and know how to listen - Gold Nuggets are Everywhere.

Lajon Webb | | Just wanted to add this to this thread from A.L. Williams:
Who should I recruit?
To build a great team, you must recruit “the right kind of people!”
I get asked all the time, “What kind of people did you recruit at A.L. Williams?”
We recruited
* GOOD PEOPLE
* HONEST PEOPLE
* LOYAL PEOPLE
* TOUGH PEOPLE
* GOOD HUSBANDS AND WIVES
* GOOD MOMS AND DADS
* GOOD FRIENDS
We DID NOT recruit –
* Professional Salespeople
* CEOs
* MBAs
* Executives earning over $100,000
I believe you can coach business! You can coach people how to sell, how to recruit, how to motivate, how to get a license, etc.
Coaching business is easy, but you cannot coach GOODNESS.
You can’t take a ‘pig’ and teach him how to ‘sing’…
You can’t take a ‘dud’ and make him a ‘stud’…
You can’t coach ‘GOODNESS’ …
You recruit a good person and you have a chance to build a championship team!
You recruit A GOOD PERSON and MAKE HIM A CRUSADER, and you will have the “BEST” sales force in the industry!
A. L. Williams wanted to be NO. 1 in the largest industry in the world (over 2000 companies). A. L. Williams wanted to kick Prudential’s butt! A. L. Williams did become NO. 1 in 6 SHORT YEARS and we kicked Prudential’s butt BIG TIME!!
HOW DID WE DO IT? We recruited GOOD PEOPLE, HONEST PEOPLE, TOUGH PEOPLE…
We taught them the RIGHTNESS AND GOODNESS of OUR CRUSADE FIRST, and THE MONEY SECOND!!
Personally, I've found (and I've only been in this industry 5 years) that if new recruits will not tap into their warm market (via a Private Business Reception or at home presentation) they will not venture into a cold market arena either and thus do nothing! Being in a cold market is not comfortable for most people. Also, one only does a cold market program to get into the warm market of others. Just my two cents...!

Chris Janssen | | Ooooo...there's that term again jumping out at me..."warm market"...The problem with this approach in too many of the companies out there right now, is there is such a financial advantage to recruiting instead of creating a customer-based business and then teaching others to do the same. It's important to remember the PURPOSE of Network Marketing...to take your companies product to market. If you OR THE COMPANY YOU ARE WORKING WITH don't concentrate on that, you are headed down a road of trouble. I've seen it happen way too many things.
I think your points on goodness are right on. This is the time for the industry as a whole to get better at doing the right thing instead of the profitable thing. I've learned over the years in the industry that the black eye the industry has with many in the public is earned by some in the industry. I don't have to like it, but it's reality.
Take care,

Ronald Hunter | | The reason a lot of companies want you to go after your warm market. They figure you can get at least 3 of your loved ones involved. Then those 3 loved ones will get three of their loved ones involved. And the company makes their money off the front end of each sign up. I agree Chris!!! The money is in the customers. Build up your customer base.

Chris Janssen | | Well, in reality, the warm market approach by most companies isn't "above board" so to speak. It's the classic move by an MLM company...they entice you with the possibility of huge income for doing little. They then go on to teach these people to hit their warm market. If they can keep the huge income dream alive long enough, the hope is that enough of that warm market will get hooked on the product and continue buying it. In many cases, they have no intention of helping these people make large incomes by recruiting their "warm market". The income flows to those people that can move enough people through the pipeline and convince enough of them to recruit enough of their warm market.
Now, am I saying to totally ignore your warm market? No. If you are with a legitimate company with a legitimate product that can compete in the marketplace, your warm market should make a great start to your customer base. They may also refer some friends of theirs to you. However, the chance of finding multiple people in your warm market that will put forth the effort to build a large organization are slim.
So...in summary, do approach your warm market. BUT, watch approaching your warm market with the "big income" approach and certainly don't try and pressure them. This is one of the reasons all of us have to fight so hard to overcome stereotypes because of the industry we choose to operate in.

Guess Who | | Exactly Chris
I talk to my warm market from a product standpoint only. Yes, I explain that they can make a few bucks if they have some referrals who want to use the product. But I don't sell them on the business. I sell them on the product.
When I run across someone who want a business, I talk about how easy it is to sell this product.

Lennart Palme | | Chris
I have a different take. Ten years ago I was working closely with a person who was my sideline. With the support of his upline he was running ads in major metropolitan newspapers around the country looking for entrepreneurs. He was getting some good responses and appearred to be building a good team. I knew and worked with one of his recruits in Chicago. However, as soon as they ran into a challenge they were quick to abandon ship. He could not get any traction.
He felt and I agreed that there was no personal connection. The phone, even if he was supportive, was not enough.
He changed his approach and started approaching his warm market with questions like "who do you know ... that is entrepreneurial? Who is looking to make a change? Who is unhappy with his job?" etc. etc. etc. He was led to the kind of people for whom he was looking. They built good relationships based on personal contact and he quickly advanced in pin level.
I know a lady who, in a short period of time, advance to the highest level in her company. Her approach was: "This is what I am doing. I am building a team. I know and admire you and I would like you to join our team if you are interested." Who could possibly be upset if they were approached in that manner?
My own experience has been that network marketing is a relationship business. First you build the relationships, and then you listen to learn who is looking for a business and who might have a problem or concern that could be helped by your products. This method is slower but the team is stronger and built on a firmer foundation.
This is what I believe.

Chris Janssen | | Well, I'm not so sure that our takes are all that different. I do agree you can make a more solid organization working with strong personal relationships. The problem is most people don't have enough people they have relationships with that are interested in building a business. (Notice I didn't say everyone.) If you are fortunate, that's fabulous! Most of us don't.
It is important to establish that relationship even with new people. The closest relationships I've had in this industry are people that until this industry I had no relationship with.
The warm market works VERY well with the product lead in. That is one reason it is so important to work with a company that has a legitimate product that can compete in the marketplace. If you don't have a legitimate product, this turns people off instead of attracting them to you. I like the idea of showing people how they can get their product at a "discout" for referrals. We use that one a lot..."if you refer 5 people that start using the product, you get yours for free."
It really doens't matter if you work warm or cold market as long as you remember with either one:
1. You MUST establish a relationship with these people. If you are effective at creating a relationship, people will stay in business with you just for the relationship even if they haven't created a huge cash flow.
2. The purpose of working with any company HAS to be bringing the goods/services to market. If the compensation plan is based on signing people up...you're with the wrong company.
Take care,
Chris

Lennart Palme | | Two thoughts.
First I did not mean that you need to recruit friends and family. It is unlikely that you know or are related to too many people who would make good network marketers, or any other kind of business associate for that matter. It is my suggestion that you ask the question, "who do you know...?" That pool of people could be very large.
Secondly, how do you expand your circle of friends - especially those who might know the person for whom you are looking? Hang out with te eagles not the turkeys if you want to attract eagles. Join organizations where leaders belong. I don't mean country clubs and other exclusive clubs, but volunteer organizations that support causes that you support. I also have found Toastmasters an excellent organization to join. You get to hang out with people who are interested in self-development and improve your communicatio skills at the same time. Once you have joined any organization, volunteer for leadership positions. People are attracted to people who are effective, constructive members and leaders. You want to be an ATTRACTOR and the kind of person that when you pop the "who do you know" question, you will be passed on to a high level prospect.
The key no matter how you start the ball rolling is to be an ATTRACTOR. You want people seeking you out, wanting to be a part of your team rather than you chasing after them.

Lajon Webb | | "Networking definition: Networking is the cultivating of mutually beneficial, give-and-take, win-win relationships."
"Sphere of influence simply refers to the people you know - people who are somehow, in some way a part of your life, directly or indirectly (and sometimes even very indirectly). Your sphere of influence includes everyone from immediate family members to distant relatives, close friends to casual acquaintances, the person who delivers the mail, the plumber, the tailor, the person who cuts your hair - practically anybody who in some way touches your life and whose life you touch."
"In his book, How to Sell Anything to Anybody, Joe Girard explains what he calls Girard's Law of 250, which states that each of us has a personal sphere of influence of about 250 people. According to Girard, about 250 people will attend your wedding and your funeral. Here's how he arrived at that number. He once asked the funeral director at a funeral he was attending,'About how many people usually come to pay their respects?' 'On average? About 250,'was the response. Soon after this, Joe attended a wedding where he asked the caterer the same question, only this time, about wedding receptions. The answer? About 250 from the bride's side and another 250 from the groom's side. In other words, according to Girard's Law of 250, everyone knows about 250 people in his or her life important enough to invite to their wedding and have show up at their funeral."
"The following statement is the central premise, the foundation, of the entire Endless Referrals System. I certainly didn't make this saying up; it's as old as the hills. And for good reason: it's an immutable law. Here it is: All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like, and trust." - The Above are Excerpts from Bob Burg, author of Endless Referrals, Network Your Everyday Contacts into Sales.
Question(s): Do ANY of these individuals (your "warm market") tell you about THEIR business and ask YOU for referrals..? Why shouldn't YOU let them know about YOUR products/services and business opportunity realizing that even though everything IS for everyone not everyone is for everything. Besides if everyone had a million dollars then what would a million dollars be.
Answer and my mindset: That said I am so glad that the Pre-Paid Legal Life Events Legal Plan, the Legal Shield, and Identity Theft Shield Memberships ARE for everyone! If someone cannot afford $35.95 a month, THEN they REALLY need to look at our Business Opportunity - or some other form of generating an additional income stream where they are not leveraged by someone else..!
Lennart Palme is absolutely correct! Have some belief in your product or services and ask for referrals which ties into my question and statements above! Follow your dollar! You are putting money into the pockets of various "warm market" people you know in your sphere of influence and they don't hesitate to give you their flyers or business cards or invite you to their functions! My wife and I have joined the Chamber of Commerce in our city and several other networking groups..to get into the warm markets of the people we already know..! We've even formed our own network group for Small Businesses with the help of Fran Tarkenton..! Every Associate in our company can do the same thing! These "warm market" contacts we know introduce us to their "warm market" which is our "cold market" until we establish a relationship with them! Then they also become our "warm market" and guess what..they are interested in whom we may know that will help them grow their business.
Again a POWERFUL question in a networking situation is: How can I know if someone I'm speaking to is a good prospect for you?
Again, I maintain if someone doesn't make a list of the people they know as if they are inviting to their wedding or Super Bowl party etc. (SOMEONE ELSE is going to invite about 250 people to your funeral), and allow their sponsor to get involved with the inviting process to a home presentation, they WILL NOT automatically "generate a customer base" especially if they are coming from corporate America..! They will assume they need to know every aspect of the business and/or memorize some presentation and overcome speaking in front of people..etc..! They will become a victim of "Paralysis by Analysis" and find their way to the "Witness Protection Program" and not be heard from again..!
It isn't just what you know, and it isn't just who you know. It's also who knows you and what you do for a living...

Nic Brits | | G'Day everyone :)
I actually don't focus on recruiting although I realise at the end of the day people do join me. Here is what I done so far in my short 7 months in mlm.
When I first joined up, I emailed all my friends telling them that I had started a new business. I've been self employed for the last 14 years so they all know I'm that way inclined. I told them exactly what type of products I market.
When I'm out and about and talking to people, I don't focus on me, I always have a geniune interest in them and find out as much as I can. When the question of what I do comes up, I tell them. Some people straight out ask if it is pryamid selling. I always explain exactly how it works. No need to hide I feel.
I've joined groups like Ryze, and various other online forums. But with those, and you can check, I never publically mention my company name. Why? I'm always asked this question. I'm here simply to learn as much about mlm as I can, and build lasting relationships with people. It amazes me how many people, when they can't find my company come straight out and ask me, and then I tell them. I do have the company name in my email signature file.
The way I look at it, the business (mlm) is 95% about the other person and 5% about me so I try and build those relationships, and I always allow the other person to say "NO" - always!
One final thing, as this post is getting long, (sorry about that) I spend alternating months focusing on retail then the next month on the business builders.
I hope that kind of answers the question?
Have a Great Day ;)

Great post & point! there are many different approaches that work for people. After all, that is why we are All different as Human beings!
I do particular want to add one comment that you touched on and WORKS...Success is about "The Law of Attraction". And from the sound of things, you are on that path my friend. Even though, If I have not mis-understood you, your short 7 months within the industry has already developed into some Veteran responses and dialoge. Your outlook on the 95% versus the 5% is Dead on in my opinion.
Everybody favorite radio station is: W.I.I.F.M.
Simple put...you are attracting Success to you! When out and about....you do not have to bring it up, the other person will Always ask "what do you do". No one ever want's to be SOLD something, they always want to BUY. When is the last time you bought a new car and then told someone...."look at the new Car Joe Blow from John Doe Dealership SOLD me?" People always say....."look at the new car I BOUGHT"
Maybe sometime when I am in Australia we can hook up. I have some Contacts in Brisbane waiting on the green light from me in Australia.
Have a Profitable Day!

Jeff Beeman | | Chris Asked: We've established that the friends and family approach that many are still teaching out in this industry is not the way to go. So...with that being established, where is it that you DO recruit people for your business? What has worked and what hasn't worked for you?
First...Let me make a statement that Yes you still need to make your opportunity / product available to Friends and Family but maybe not right away..let's learn and earn a little first. More on that later!
Second...Where do YOU recruit people from
Answer - Everywhere, with in my niche Market! How do you develop a niche market. Get in touch we'll talk about it!
Third...What has worked and what has not worked for me?
Let me answer the latter part of that question first.
DEPENDING ON REPLICATED SITES AND DROPPNG A FEW BUSINESS CARDS WITH A WEB ADDRESS ON OCCASION DOES NOT WORK!!! AT least not enough to run a business from by it's self!
You have to use multiple tools, especially if your depending on "On-line" marketing, to produce on going fresh leads or prospects. IE: Blogs, Ezine Articles, Forums, Business Networks, Traffic Exchanges but probably most important is a Splash web site or capture page to get contact info! Does you no good to have just a sales site up if the person your telling to go there really is not interested in what your selling. You use contact info to build that relationship find the need and then provide the solution.
There has to be a process in place and I can teach you that process with a new program I am developing for the start of the new year!
What's it come down to? You have to have a list and add to that list daily! How do we do that seems to be the main theme of this string so PM me and we'll talk or hit my site @ http://jbnetmarketing.net/prospecting.html

Tony Rush | | I think the temptation is to think that there is "one"
right way or "most effective" way to market one's business
or to find prospects.
After all, if there's a "Holy Grail method" that we
can all pursue....then that makes the landscape of
the business look very simple, doesn't it?
The fact is that there's really no such thing.
There ARE some ways to build a business that we'd
probably all agree are "inefficient". Or which
don't make people want what we've got.
But, of the remaining ways to build a business,
it's really up to the marketer.
For instance, I'm not big on the whole "warm market"
approach. Making a list of everyone you know?
C'mon! How many different ways have we seen
it made fun of?
-- it's tacky
-- it's annoying
-- it creates a weird reputation for the industry
-- it's low efficiency
All of those things might be true. But here's
the dirty little secret:
==> The only reason the warm market
approach is still around is because IT WORKS.
Think about it in comparison to the alternatives.
Warm marketing or personal contact marketing
requires
-- NO computer skills
-- NO internet marketing skills
-- NO advertising dollars
-- NO marketing expertise
-- NO phone conversations
-- NO scripts to learn
It's basically just a matter of just letting people
know you've got a new business and asking them
if they'd like to look at the product or opportunity.
It works.
So, with all that said, NO I'M NOT A FAN OF IT!
I don't like it. In fact, I don't do it!
It's just not my thing.
But it would be grossly inaccurate for me to
say that it doesn't work. (By the way, I
used to make fun of personal contact marketing
and warm marketing. Then I realized that
just because I didn't like it didn't mean it
didn't work.)
The truth is that nearly EVERYTHING "works"
if you do it long enough.
It's just a question of deciding
a. what kind of marketing is most enjoyable for you
b. what kind of marketing is giving you the best results
c. what kind of marketing fits your budget and income goals
So, whether it's striking up conversations with
people in the store (which I detest)...or generating leads
on a squeeze page with pay-per-click marketing...
...it's all good. And it all works.
You just have to find what's right for you!
