Recruiting tip for using business cards offline

Here’s one of the network marketing tips I -picked up from a conference call held by the folks at mlm leads system pro

Passive recruiting can be done effectively by giving out business cards offline. These business cards are sometimes offered as part of the distributor kits offered by some network marketing companies to assist their IBOs.

However, the standard business card usually has a phone number on it to call and you do NOT want to leave your cell phone or home phone number on there. You see, many times when you leave a business card some place it may or may not be left there with the tacit permission of the shop owner or the person on whose windshield you left your card.

If someone gets ticked off that you left the card there, then they’ll be claling you to express this dissatisfaction, thereby taking up some of your emotional energy and valuable time.

What you want to do with business cards if leave the personal phone number off the card, and if you absolutely positiviley must leave a phone number, make sure it’s the phone number for an invite call.

But better yet, just leave a website url so no matter what, the “card readers” will have to get to a computer or on the internet to see what this “opportunity card” is all about.

You have to take charge of your marketing and recruiting methods.

You have to contorl the sales process and the marketing funnel.

Don’t leave yourself wide open for time wasting or energy-draining prospects calls by leap frogging over important aspects of your marketing funnel.

If you think omitting your phone number form a business card is not savvy, just remember that the next time someone calls you up and says,

“I got this card here, don’t know how I got it, what’s this all about”….

Then you’re stuck bringing this person up to speed on the opportunity, what network marketing is, and all sorts of newbie questions
