Hi, Billie here.

 What I have done when I get a new prospect is email them and welcome them to the business and to my team. They say to email or phone . I email because of the expense of the long distance. Later I may start calling . looking into new phone service now.I encourage them to email me back.
 Some have and some haven't. However I do still drop a line to them to let them know I am  still there. 
 After one of my prospects recieved my email and said help where do I go from here. Well I was glad he emailed me back so I could help him. I sent him to http://www.Website.ws/members/ , told him to get to know his back office and learn where everything was and read the Q & A . Told him about the leads you can purchase from the business which I do and how you can put your own email addresses in of your family and friends.  And most of all go to the Forum, there is lots and lots of great stuff there . Well , I hope this has helped you a little . take care.

Fast-start suggestions: attend The.WS Training sessions, details at the Forum; listen to the archives at www.wsinternetshow.ws and, two sites worth close scrutiny are www.wealth411.ws and www.gdi-made-easy.ws.

I want to ask this question, to get some new ideas and also give others ideas on
what to do when this happens.

What do you when you get an email that you have a new prospect?
Hello Stefan,

I respond to my NEW PROSPECTS in 1 of 2 ways.
Both are the same up to a point...
I send an email which features their Opt-In details, Names + email + Time
The email thanks them for their time, asks for their oppinion about the movie.. It also contains a link to the Movie that has already got their details added to it so the Flash Movie already contains their name when they open it for a second look...
I invite them to contact me to let me know their views or ask any questions...

I also add a link to My Marketing System.. I only really use 1 Programme to Promote GDI etc, but that 1 Programme features over 50 other Programmes... I suggest that they should preview the Marketing System too before deciding whether GDI is for them or not...

I said 1 of 2 ways because If I am online when they subscribe the email is written for here and now.. If I am offline the email refers to the Movie they watched earlier...  The rest remains the same...

I have a third method 2...  I have an Auto-Responder set-up with some Lead Capture pages...  The Auto-Responder sends 1 email only... It is instant and it features a Personalised link to the Flash Movie...

I do not send any other messages to my Prospects because GDI does that for me...

Oh 1 other thing... My Signature contains a link to my Website and my FORUM with a note suggesting there is a lot of info for beginners...   Some people will set-up an Auto-Responder to deliver lots of emails to the Prospects but I do not do this because If the Movies are not enough I just move on.....   Plenty more fish in the SEA, besides I don't like my inbox filling with these emails so why do it to someone else...

At times we tend to over complicate what remains a simple business to market, or we forget an essential step in the prospecting process.

I have found it useful to self reflect on the following 3 prospecting themes/steps:

curiosity
interest
decision

If prospecting is no longer going as expected, I will usually discover that I am not stimulating the curiosity of the prospect by asking enough questions up front, not stimulating their interest by inviting them to watch and checking up that they have actually watched the 7 minute movie, or not following up enough to get a clear "yes" or "no" decision.

This is a simple check list that, when used openly to self reflect on my prospecting performance, helps me to stay on track and remove the weak spots.  Wink

Hi everyone,

Could someone please type out a good, positive, impacting mail which i can forward/send to my prospects who have viewed the Flash Presentation. I have got more than 40 prospects in the past 1 month who viewed the flash but the mail i write to them does not seem to work as i have'nt got a single reply nor a signup.

Basically, i just write a mail thanking them for watching the flash. I think there is more to be added. So need help from all you experienced people.

Also, what should the second follow up mail contain? Let's say the prospect has'nt replied or joined........so what should the second mail look like? What should it contain?

Would be glad to anyone who helps me with this.

Hi,
 
 I have the same problem here like Danesh. I am not English speaking, and here we don't speak english. That makes it a bit hard to write an attracting email message...

So, I also would apprectiate some email template we can use...

Thanks,
Karl

What we do after a prospect vies our site we do the following:

1.     We email a Thank You for Visiting our site ASAP
2.      If there is a phone number we call, and say thank you again
        We are striving to establish a relationship.  We don't take long
         We have others to follow up on.  Ask if they have questions.
3.     Send them to the FREEDOM site, and the 20 min. movie
4.     Go for the close, by taking them to the MEMBERS site, and sign them up!

Handle an Objection:

We don't spend too much time with them on Objections.  One that comes up a good bit is this.

"Is this a pyramid?"  I say, Pyramids are illegal.  What we do is taught in many universities across the
Nation.  Does this sound like something you would be interested in.  Yes?  Good, let me direct you
to our sign up page.  It's FREE for 7 days.

Once you accept the 7 day FREE trial, we send you our welcome letter filled with info about how to
get started.  Then you can call us with all your questions.

That's just one of many ways to deal with prospects.  I will write more later.

Dick,

Very well put about handling objections.

What we must all understand is that they're not rejecting you as a person their rejecting themselves.

The little voice inside says no you can't do this its a pyramid.

You see we are in control when interviewing prospects not them we pick and choose who comes to our team.

True, sending a Thank you is definately the first thing to do with a new prospect.  Also sending them an invitation to view the forums, leader boards, etc.  An opportunity to search out the back office.  If people are stuck on the idea that this is a pyramid, unfortunate for them.  They are hard people to convince otherwise.  I believe that if people need convincing about this business, then they are not ready to take part.  Just my opinion.

Paula, very well put.

You see when a person gets into this industry most don't get lucky enough to have a good support system.

Strike one

Strike two they fall victim to the voice inside saying this will never work

Strike three they run out of money and don't know how to create their own leads and secondary income to help fund their business.

You see their are two different types of people in this world their are the doers and the cannot doers.

I prefer to work with the doers and hope you do to.

So do yourself a favor if you don't understand how the leaders are making money in this 10.00 dollar business ask and you shall recieve.

See you at the top,

When I first started, I asked questions but only got yes and no answers from my upline ...

It was like they didn't want to give "the secret" away. That doesn't make any sense with your team and line.

You only succeed if they succeed in MLM.

That's why one of my first priorities was to canvass the best approaches, get as many answers as possible and find low cost
methods with high return on investments ... took more time than I had imagined, especially given my background in marketing.

So now my prospects get all the tools, info and leads they need to take specific action daily ... the challenge is getting people to take 1 hour of action a day.

That's where sending e-mails and staying in contact helps. Just remind them that they have help, the tools and ability (if they try) to get sign ups-

I also provide more than 15 types of training modules on just about every MLM related issue so they can learn how to earn rather than just
follow blindly and in turn train their downline ... the benefit is less of learning curve to get started but long term learning opp to sustain their business and retain
existing sign ups.

The best benefit is that it's almost automatic & works like a true sales team ... I spend more time now maintaining the "sales kit" and tools ... I also constantly research new
approaches for us to use   ... so if you have anything that's working for you and are willing to share (I can keep "secrets") let me know and I'll do the same-
