cards that act like miniature billboards. Leave thousands of these cards each
month everywhere you go, as you go about your day. Place some on ATM
machines, in phone booths, at gas pumps, at video stores, in magazines, in
restrooms, on newspaper machines, in convenience stores (pay them to set up
a little counter stand), in apartment buildings, at the post office, and every-
where else you can think of. If you put out a lot of cards consistently, like 500
to 1,000 a week, you will get a lot of prospects.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT
Send friends and business associates several of your business cards and ask
them to help you by passing out your cards. This way they won’t feel like
you’re trying to recruit them, and some may even join you without you need-
ing to prospect them directly.
TIP WELL AND LEAVE YOUR CARD
With the outgoing waitress or waiter at the restaurant, develop rapport and
leave your business card or flyer. If you want a better response, talk to them
briefly about the business first. Share with them how you are looking for out-
going, hardworking people just like them to expand your business. Ask if they
would be willing to listen to a CD (you just happen to have in the car) that
explains all the details. Set up a time to follow up to answer their questions
before you go.
PHONE CALL LISTS OF NETWORK
MARKETERS OR OPPORTUNITY SEEKERS
If you have a better mousetrap, many of these people will join you in busi-
ness. They already know about the benefits of network marketing and could
be a great asset to your business. Create a compelling reason for calling them
and pledge your support to their success should they choose to join you in
partnership.
