Posted December 24, 2011 — by Siddharth Rajsekar

Let's face it — you may be generating tons of leads online for your MLM business, but if you're not able to communicate properly to your prospects over the phone, you can consider all that a total waste of your time. Here are the top 10 MLM phone prospecting tips you can start using in your business right away.

My 10 MLM Phone Prospecting Tips

  1. #1. Overcome 'Fear Of The Phone'

    The first and biggest hurdle is simply picking up the phone. The more calls you make, the more natural it becomes. Start small and build momentum.

  2. #2. Speak Less To More People

    Your goal is to reach as many prospects as possible. Keep conversations focused and avoid long, unproductive chats. Volume matters.

  3. #3. Questions Are The Answers

    Use questions to guide the conversation. When a prospect asks something, respond with a question that uncovers their real needs and motivations.

  4. #4. Rejections Are Just A Part Of The Game

    Not every call will end in a yes — and that's fine. Treat each rejection as a learning experience and move on to the next opportunity.

  5. #5. Create Your Daily/Weekly Call Schedule

    Consistency is key. Block out dedicated time each day or week for prospecting calls and stick to it. Treat it like a non-negotiable appointment.

  6. #6. Ask If They're Ready To Sign Up

    Don't be afraid to close. After building rapport and presenting the opportunity, directly ask if the prospect is ready to take the next step.

  7. #7. Project Confidence & Stay Busy

    Speak with authority and enthusiasm. When you sound confident and in demand, prospects are more likely to take you and your opportunity seriously.

  8. #8. Convey Positive Intentions

    People can sense your motives. Approach every call with a genuine desire to help the other person succeed, not just to make a sale.

  9. #9. Follow Up Without Being Pushy

    Most deals aren't closed on the first call. Have a system for following up that keeps you top of mind without coming across as desperate.

  10. #10. Track Your Numbers & Improve

    Measure calls made, conversations held, and sign-ups achieved. Review your stats regularly and refine your approach based on what the data tells you.
