10 Ways to Generate Local Network Marketing Leads

1. The most obvious way to find people in your local market is to get a good toll-free phone number and place a low-cost ad in the classified section of your town newspaper
2. A lot of people also have good success with free local weeklies such as the PennySaver or Thrifty Nickel
3. If you prefer to do your advertising online, there are many local bulletin board sites that may allow mlm business advertising in their classified section.
4. Craigslist is also another very popular option … but you have to be careful that your ads don’t get flagged as spam.
5. One of my favorite ways to do subtle marketing is by having a Webdecal in the back window of my car. I advertise both my website address, and my toll-free telephone number. As an added benefit, it can be a great conversation starter.
6. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t mind getting out of your comfort zone, a tried and true method for meeting new people is simply to use the 3-foot rule to engage people in conversations and hand out your business cards.
7. If you’re a bit more on the shy side, and would rather not deal with people face to face, you can explore marketing with flyers
8. Don’t forget about your product or service. A great way to introduce people to your new business is to hold an open house
9. Many people have also done very well sponsoring new people through handing out Free samples.
10. And last but not least, the #1 way to generate more local mlm leads to simply Sell your product or service

I hope you found this helpful for learning how to generate mlm leads.

Especially if you’re involved in a product focused network marketing company, where you regularly make retail sales to people not involved in your business opportunity, having your own merchant account can be a valuable asset.

Granted, most mlm companies do allow customers to order right from your distributor website. However, this won’t do you much good if you find yourself out a county fair, or weekend swap meet, and don’t have internet access. Even online, if your company allows it, having a personal merchant account can seem much more professional than using something like paypal, or just sending prospects to your cookie cutter website.

Some of the other benefits of an mlm merchant account are having your retail sales money deposited straight to checking or savings at your own bank right at the time of the sale … and not having to wait possibly a month or more for your network marketing company to process your check. Also you will gain additional credibility with your customers when you display the fact that you are able to accept all major credit cards. We all like to be able to buy with confidence.

Do you take credit cards through a personal merchant account? How has it helped you to build your mlm business and/or sell more network marketing products?
