Why Use Leads

Success is not magical. It's mathematical. 

~ Gregory Mascari 

Purchasing leads is simply one more way to reach more people. 

Continue reaching out to your warm market... meeting people while you're 'out & about... using social media... 

"One of the biggest mistakes a network marketer makes is not having enough people to talk to about their business. Without a steady stream of prospects, it’s easy to hit a plateau and struggle to grow your team. The key to overcoming this challenge is simple: You need more new recruits to keep the momentum going." 

~ Lead Power

Enjoy the process of calling leads.  Stay steady If someone says they'll call you but don't... unmoved if someone is rude... discouraged if it seems no one is interested in a home-based business. Be like the farmer in this age-old parable. Good? Bad? Who knows? 

The parable about a farmer and his horse... 

One day a farmer's horse runs away. His neighbour comes over to commiserate and says, “I’m so sorry about your horse.” And the farmer shrugs his shoulders and says “Good?  Bad? Who knows.” The neighbour is confused because this is clearly a terrible event. After all, the horse is the most valuable thing he owns.

But the horse comes back the next day and brings with him 12 feral horses. The neighbour comes back to celebrate. “Congratulations on your great fortune!”  

The farmer replies, “Good?  Bad? Who knows.”

The next day the farmer’s son is taming one of the wild horses. He’s thrown and breaks his leg. The neighbour comes back over and says, “I’m so sorry about your son.” The farmer merely says, “Good?  Bad? Who knows.”

Sure enough, the next day the army comes through their village conscripting able-bodied young men to go and fight in the war. However, the son is spared because of his broken leg. The neighbour returns to celebrate. The farmer says, “Good?  Bad? Who knows.”

And this story goes on... Good? Bad? Who knows?  We can't always see the larger picture.  Some of your Leads may be eliminating themselves and saving you time. 

When you're calling your Leads, remember that you're looking for QUALITY people. It's worth sifting and sorting until the 'qualified' ones appear.

If you're involved in network marketing, you know how crucial it is to connect with prospects and close deals effectively. But have you ever felt stuck, not knowing what to say to move a conversation forward? Or maybe you're unsure how to ask the right questions that will help prospects open up and trust you.

Asking the right questions is one of the most important skills you can develop in network marketing. It’s not about pushing your opportunity on someone. Instead, it’s about guiding a conversation, understanding their needs, and showing them how you can help solve their problems.

Here are 10 effective prospecting and closing questions to help you take your business to the next level. Start using these 10 questions today. These questions will not only help you get more people interested but also make them more likely to join your team or buy your product.

All of these questions are designed to start conversations and build trust. Instead of jumping right into your opportunity, you’re taking the time to get to know your prospects, understand their needs, and help them see the value in what you’re offering.

One of the biggest mistakes people make in network marketing is trying to convince people to join too quickly. But people need to feel understood first. By asking these questions, you’re creating a relationship where your prospect feels heard and respected. Once that trust is built, closing the deal becomes much easier.

Before diving into the list of questions, it’s important to highlight the most crucial one that can change the way you interact with prospects: 

★ “Are you interested in a part-time or full-time income?”

This question is essential because it doesn’t lead to a simple “yes” or “no” answer, which can sometimes end the conversation too quickly. Instead, it gives the prospect two choices that both keep the conversation moving forward. Whether they’re looking for part-time income or full-time income, you can position your opportunity as the perfect fit for their goals.

Never ask yes-or-no questions when prospecting. Giving options helps prospects feel in control and more open to the discussion. This approach is highly effective because it focuses on what they want while guiding them to the next step.

Use these 9 questions alongside the #1 important question:

1. "What are you currently doing for work?" This is a great icebreaker question when you’re first talking to a prospect. It’s not too pushy, but it allows you to understand what they do for a living. Knowing their current situation will help you identify whether they’re a good fit for your opportunity or product.

2. "Have you ever thought about starting your own business?" This question helps you find out if the person is open to new opportunities. Maybe they’ve never considered network marketing, or maybe they’ve thought about it but didn’t know where to start. Asking this question helps you understand their mindset without being too aggressive.

3. "What would you do if money wasn’t an issue?" This is a powerful question because it gets people thinking about their dreams and aspirations. It takes them out of their current reality and allows them to picture a better future. Once they start talking about their dreams, you can show them how your opportunity can help them achieve that.

4. "What do you like most about your current job? What do you like least?"By asking this, you’ll get to know their pain points and what they truly want. If they love flexibility but hate long hours, you can present how your opportunity offers more control over their schedule. On the flip side, if they like stability but hate the lack of growth in their job, you can explain how network marketing provides both.

5. "How would an extra $500 a month change your life?"This question makes it real for your prospect. Instead of talking about big income numbers that may seem out of reach, you’re focusing on a smaller amount that’s easier for them to imagine. This amount of money could cover bills, groceries, or even a family vacation. When they see how achievable it is, they’ll be more open to learning more.

6. "What do you know about network marketing?"This question helps gauge their level of knowledge about the industry. Some people might not know much about it, while others might have preconceived ideas—whether good or bad. It’s a great way to open up the conversation, educate them if needed, and address any misconceptions they may have.

7. "If you could have a side business without giving up your current job, would you be interested?"This question speaks directly to people who may be interested in extra income but aren’t ready to leave their full-time job. It shows that network marketing can work around their current commitments, making it an easy, low-risk way to earn extra money.

8. "Would you be open to trying something new if it didn’t affect your current schedule?"Some people hesitate to start something new because they’re already busy. By asking this, you’re reassuring them that your opportunity is flexible and won’t disrupt their routine. You’re also subtly positioning your opportunity as a low-pressure, easy-to-start option.

9. "What’s stopping you from achieving your goals right now?"This question dives deep into their challenges. It forces them to reflect on what’s holding them back from living the life they want. Once they express their obstacles, you can show how your opportunity can help remove those barriers and give them a path to success.
