Sponsoring New Affiliates

I'm going to end this weeks focus on the network marketing industry with the some tips on sponsoring new affiliates. First I'm going to share some quotes from Robert Kiyosaki's book Business School.

"If you want to be rich, you need to be a business owner or an investor."

"The richest people in the world build networks. Everyone else is trained to look for work."

"Thinking is the hardest work there is. That is why so few people engage in it."

"Skills make you rich, not theories."

"The value of a network goes up exponentially, not numerically."

"The ability to sell is the number-one skill in business."

"In growing a business, leadership skills are a necessity."

Below are some tips for sponsoring new affiliates into your business. Learn them, do them, practice them, and teach them to those you've sponsored and watch you network grow exponentially.

• Always present yourself and your business in a professional and ethical manner.

• Stick to the facts. Don't exaggerate the opportunity.

• Realize that "rejection" is natural. For every 20 people you contact, expect 19 "no's" for every "yes." You may very well do better than that, but expect 19 rejections. This way, the rejections won't bother you because you expect them. Also, realize that they're not rejecting YOU—they're simply rejecting an idea. Just keep moving ahead. Be persistent, ignore the rejections, and you'll get more than enough "yes's" to build a highly successful business.

• Always remember SW-SW-SW-SW-N: Some will. Some won't. So what?! Someone's waiting. Next!

• Have FUN! People can't resist someone having fun. Make your business so much fun that others will flock to you to join you.

• Ask for people's opinion on the opportunity. It's a good way to determine what objections they might have to joining and also allows you the chance to overcome those objections.

• Don't place a few ads or contact a few people and expect the money to start rolling in. Expect to work your business consistently for two to three years before seeing a really substantial income.

• Ask for referrals. Ask, "Do you know anyone who might be looking to earn some extra money?"

• Build a list of contacts. Add to it daily.

• Don't become obsessed with sponsoring a "heavy hitter." Instead, learn how to become a heavy hitter yourself.
