Most people when they join an MLM (Multi Level Marketing) are thought all the wrong ways to approach leads.Their uplines "most" of the times have zero experience, so they give them the same copy and paste message that they have been using unsuccessfully for a long time.The reality is that you need to build some time of relationship before going in with the "opportunity"
The good old techniques:
"Would you like to make more money?""Do you leave income opportunities open""If you breathe, this is meant for you..."
This is pure and simple terrible...
What's up, everyone?
Quin here. And I want to give you some quick tips today about what not to do when communicating with your customers, with your leads. Especially when you're trying to network with somebody. Now a lot of these messages come from the very well-known MLM which is multi-level marketing. A lot of people out there do not like multi-level marketing, a lot of people love multi-level marketing. I guess that's just different point of views depending on what side of the fence you're on. Now, one thing in common when it comes to multi-level marketing is the fact that networking, your network is your net worth. So multi-level marketers need to constantly create, generate lots of connections and ie. networking. To do so, some have been trained incorrectly by their uplines and their uplines tell them what to do incorrectly. And of course, this is not a generalization because there's a lot of people out there doing it right, building relationships the right way. But what we all see is a bunch of spam and then all pay because of one. And that's the generalization that happens in life. Humans do that often, right?
So we all get a ton of messages. I get like an unlimited amount of messages come in constantly that are just spammy.
And what I do normally is as soon as I see sometimes the subject says: “Hello, Quin_Amorim,” okay so I know that was a bot that captured either my Twitter or my Instagram. So they go through my Instagram, my Twitter. The scraping bots capture my email, associate the account name with my name and then they message, “Hello, Quin_Amorim” altogether. So automatically, those go directly to the junk folder. Others, I can read you a few. Of course, I'm not gonna name any names. I'm not gonna name companies or anything like that. And here's for example. This one was from LinkedIn: “Hi, Quin. I wanted to know if you're actively seeking venture funding. If so, let me know if you'd like details about applying to present as one of the top innovators at the New England venture summit,” blah, blah, blah. And then signed. And of course, there's a link in there. Now the thing is, this is the very first contact I had with this person. I've never met this person. It is actually an account that doesn't even have a picture. And this is how they start, right? They start the conversation directly with a pitch if I'm looking for venture funding. So this one came through and I didn't reply.
Two days
later, I get a message that just says, “Hi, Quin. I wanted to know if you're
actively seeking venture funding. We're bringing together a large group of
investors to connect emerging companies,” blah blah blah. So basically, the
same pitch a couple of lines and the links at the bottom are different now.
This actually has a URL, that it's going to take me to this summit.
In this case, I did reply. So now there are 2 messages that came in from the
same person. I replied and I said, “Thank you so much for contacting me. I'll
save this link and I'll keep my eyes open.” That's it.
So I get a reply to that. “My pleasure. What round of funding are you seeking
and how much? Let me know if you'd be interested in joining us and I'll send
you more details.”
So again I didn't reply and I get this. “Hey Quin, I wanted to know if you're
actively seeking venture funding. We're bringing together a large group of
investors...” blah blah blah.
