Phone Bills
As soon as your network begins to grow, you must consider switching to a phone plan that provides low-cost or unlimited access to all sub-lines. This is a great way to save on phone bills when calling your downline. Some telephone companies offer unique phone plans that give you a referral fee or even an overriding percentage over your referee’s or your network’s bill.
Other ways to cut down on phone bills is to go online to coordinate team meetings over the internet. Tools like Skype are useful to do long distance opportunity meetings and counseling sessions with your upline.
Petrol
If you find yourself burning too much petrol when prospecting, then you must consider QUALIFYING your leads. Not everyone who gets into your group will be a ‘CLASS A’ networker. It is wise to focus on recruiting people who have qualities to succeed in any business. Opportunities do not make someone rich; hard work and persistence does.
If you are prospecting someone who is indecisive, lazy and complains constantly, it is better to keep him or her in the back burner and focus on other people (follow up with them on your spare time). You don’t want to find yourself driving miles just to talk to someone and after two hours (or a few months later) you find out that they are not interested or they are not the person you are looking for.
A very good way to qualify what type of prospect you are dealing with if to ask him or her questions about their self-development. If you find that they have no energy in their words, or are not doing anything to improve themselves then you can very well save lots of time and petrol.
Leads
You don’t have to spend a fortune on leads. Here are some suggestions on how to get leads for free.
Switching to a line of work that allows you flexible time and involves servicing instead of moving to a sales oriented line. Why is this so is because a servicing oriented line allows you to build rapport for free with your prospects and they will generally have good feelings towards you contrary to a sales line where the same customers you are selling your product will wind up being the same prospects for your business (Don’t confuse them by selling many things).
Other network marketing companies. Join their Opportunity talks or rallies. You will get to know many like minded people here and there and they will be more than happy to be your friend because they want to get you into their opportunity. You can sort and filter which are the people you want in your network later on. If your convincing power is very good, you might bring over an entire network of distributors over.
Attend highly motivational seminars (e.g. Anthony Robbins), you will meet a lot of people here and they will be so highly motivated or fired-up, you will have more chances to recruit them (they are so fired-up they believe they can conquer the world or realize their dreams). Furthermore, they are most likely the ones who will ‘go all the way’ if you successfully recruit them.
