Hey guys,
In the direct sales business, generating quality leads is vital. A lead is generally any person who has expressed an interest in the product or service. Lead generation and management is vital to the success of your business.
What kind of people are you looking for?
In your business you will want to contact two types of people — people you know and people you don’t know.
It is highly recommend that you contact people you know (Warm Market) first, since success rate will be higher. Work closely with your hardcore Sales Manager during your training period and they will support you to contact these people.
• Warm Market
Your warm market is the 200 or so people who you know. Be open minded about this group as it can be extended to anyone you can have a warm conversation with. Learn to build rapport wherever you are. This group has the potential to contain some of your strongest centres of influence and referrals.
Make a list of friends, neighbours, relatives and the people you do business with. Approach them, simply ask them if they have considered or know anyone that may be interested in your product or service, remember you don’t just sell x or y you are after a long term relationship, you are solving a problem they have. Do not let fear get in your way. You do not need to have lots of experience; you simply follow the system as part of this website and access your management team for support and guidance.
Create a list of people you have known. Do NOT otherwise prejudge anybody. Team up with your management team to make the phone calls with you.
Impotantly your warm market is a great place to start as you are likely to come up with a lot of objections, this will help you to learn to deal with them. They are important so be sure to learn from them.
