People often tell me that they wish they could be a master
network marketing prospector. Anyone can do it. The main
requirements are a little time and LOTS of practice!
Nonetheless, there are various skills that you can improve that
will infinitely guide you on your MLM journey and support you in
accomplishing MLM Mastery.

There are 5 Qualities or Characteristics of Master MLM
Prospectors: Passion, Consistency, Communication, Being

6. Five Attributes Of A
Master MLM Prospector
Let's plunge into each one and look at how you can start to put
into effect in your Network Marketing business today!
7. Trait #1: Passion
You MUST have a serious passion for Freedom, your Product
and Helping others.
Passion is without a doubt the most important quality on this list.
Without a strong passion for your product, this industry, the
freedom it can provide and helping people attain that freedom,
then you really shouldn’t be in the MLM industry.

Master MLM Prospector
What you need to figure out is what turned you on to your
company and its product, then use that same passion and share
it with others. Chat with other product users and pay attention to
success stories within your company. There is always a wealth
of product and success testimonials that you can use to convey
your belief and passion. Keep in mind, people are first attracted
to your passion before they are attracted to your product or
company.

“Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to
watch you burn.”
10. Trait #2: Consistency
It is a necessity to be consistent with your network marketing
business each day.
Being consistent is undeniably a key part to your success.
Another way to think about it is, if you are a doctor but only carry
out 7 out of 10 surgeries accurately, how long do you think you
would be in business? Not very long! You will become extremely
consistent when you start treating the $500 start-up cost for your
network marketing business like it was $500,000 or even $5
Million!
11. I come across a lot of people who begin a MLM business but
then they don't even put in the time and energy to be successful.
But they are still anticipating a massive pay off. Well, the reality
of the situation is the pay off can ONLY occur when you think of
your business like a business and consistently work it every day.
Putting in consistent effort doesn't involve an added eight hours
a night when you get off, however devising an Action Plan and
sticking to it works.
12. You want to set a Minimum Daily Exposure (MDE) number for
yourself. When you are first starting out and working your
network marketing business on a very part-time basis, I advise
beginning with 3 MDEs. Your ultimate goal is to be exposing
between 10 and 15 new people to your MLM business every
day.
13. When you calculate the numbers about what this will do for your
business, you will have no problem displaying passion. This
leads to success. It's a simple formula that will work whether you
build online or offline or a combination of the two!
14. Trait #3: Communication
Connect, Communicate and Follow Up!
Communication is key for connecting with your prospects. You
should have at bare minimum contact once a week, no matter if
that lead was generated on the internet or offline.
15. One word of caution, though. There is a fine line between
bugging and following up. Keep in mind, developing a
relationship is crucial to successful sponsoring. So you DON'T
want to be pitching your network marketing business every time.
When you follow up with your prospects, make it personal. Ask
about their business or job, their family, remember birthdays and
anniversaries. It’s all about connecting and getting to know them.
16. If they are an offline MLM lead, you want to be in touch when
there is a local meeting, a special presentation, a new tool or a
new product launch.
With an online MLM prospect this becomes simple because you
should have an auto-responder sending out letters every few
days.
17. The whole object of communication is to keep you in your lead's
mind. So that if things go south for them or if they just need a
change, you are the person they think of first to call to help
change their financial situation.
18. Trait #4: Being Prepared
You need to always have tools prepared and practice alert living.
An unclear economic outlook has caused people who ordinarily
would look down at MLM or Network Marketing to really take a
second look at it. Because of this, they are willing to see MLM as
a method to make extra money.
19. Hence you want to be armed with tools (literature, a CD, a DVD,
etc) that you can hand to your leads and you should be prepared
to tell at least two product stories and two income stories.
20. Stories are a must for your network marketing business as
people are emotional and they will respond better to stories
rather than just a bunch of facts. Through the stories, people will
learn more about either your product or your opportunity. Now
stories are something that a prospect can get passionate about!
22. Furthermore, you want to be presentable wherever you go (i.e.
no pants around your butt or dressing like you are headed to the
club). Dress for success is more than a clever phrase. It makes
you prepared to make something good happen for your MLM
business.
23. Trait #5: Be Positive
You have to be upbeat.
No one is up ALL the time. We all have down moments. You just
NEVER want to let your prospects and downline witness it.
People love being around happy, charismatic people. They do
not want to have to be walking on eggshells around you. A good
rule of thumb is to be the person you want to attract. After all
birds of a feather… and who needs to be in a group full of Debby
Downers!
24. I challenge you to apply every one of these skills into your
Network Marketing business. It is critical to not pick and choose,
but incorporate every one of them. You will discover that when
you do, your confidence will climb. Your business will begin to
grow and you will be on your way to achieving MLM Mastery!
