Set a realistic goal: 100 front line associates is a big number. Break it down into smaller, more manageable goals. Aim for a certain number of sign-ups each month or week.

The most successful people - are people, people….Like when you talk to people just cuz you want to sign them up, people feel that. Now obviously if you want to sign people up - you have to talk to people. Lol but there is a difference - like this week - I had lunch/dinner w 3 different friends - that was purely building that relationship….now do they know what I do? Yes of course - and while I will also get together with people for coffee, lunch or dinner to present and sign them up, I can still get together with people to simply share a meal and conversations outside of network marketing too. You have to learn that balance.

One way I got 100 direct associates - was meeting with people. Now I stay busy with a retired husband and spending time with him and traveling with him, I watch 2 of my grandbabies a few days a week to help our son and his wife out…but I still find time in my schedule - and that is another thing - I do schedule it…I plan to meet with someone at least once a week purely for business, granted we may be friends and we talk personal stuff too, but they know I am meeting them for business and we are either meeting because they are already on my team and we are talking strategically to get them where they want, or we are meeting to sign them up on my team and see if we are a good fit for each other.

Identify your target audience: Who are you trying to reach? What are their needs and interests? Once you know your target audience, you can tailor your message to them. The biggest misconception is people looking for a sales person, or someone saying they are not a salesperson…..And everyone IS a salesperson! You sell your kids or your husband to eat their green beans, right? Ha! You are a sales person. You share with people what you know that can HELP them. You want people who are KIND, and you CARE for other people….those people will be your leaders on your team.

Another way is posting on my social media daily. I post about the product, I will post about the company, I will post about me winning an award or an incentive trip, or someone I signed up, or someone on my team that achieved a level. I will also post testimonials on my pages - whether it is about one of our products or a service, or even a testimonial about me or my personal business - testimonials and stories “sell” - I ask people for testimonials when I work with them, then I share those w others that follow me.

I add to my social media daily - I download my Facebook friends/followers list - I go thru at least 5-10 per day - like, comment on people’s pages to keep in touch/interact but also message people on their birthdays to keep in touch and keep relationships going….and if there is no reciprocal on the relationship - I remove to open for actual relationships. I look for new people to connect with often - I don’t just add people either - I look at their page, see the mutual friends, see their posts - if their posts align with me, or my way of thinking I will add them, same I am probably not going to sign up someone in my business if we don’t align on things - now that does’t mean everything - cuz we are not ever going to have that right - but we do have to align on many things, can still agree to disagree on others - but you want to build a business with people you also enjoy hanging out with - cuz you will at company events, trips etc

Every day I look for reasons to reach out to people. If it’s someone’s birthday, I reach out with a text or a private message on Facebook. I comment on people’s posts daily. I will often send them a private message depending on what they post. I commented on his post but also sent him a private message to congratulate him. My goal is to start conversations.
