What's the best way to get new paid members in your MLM, or affiliate program off to a fast start?
Here is what I teach my Empowerism group to do.
Get fresh leads in their hands, and have them call potential prospects to "feed" their Empowerism email follow system, i.e. the request for the free sample autoresponder.
I call it the "Fast Track to more Affiliate/MLM Prospects and Sales" if done properly, and consistently, i.e. daily for one hour.
Here it is: New member gets say 500 fresh "opportunity seeker leads". They call 30 to 40 every day, six days a week. They should in turn get in contact with 5 to 10 potential prospects every day.
Out of that batch, they should get a good number of those into their Empowerism seven day follow up system.
Simple math: Five new leads fed into their follow up system daily over a 90 day period (factoring in days off) equals roughly 360 potential prospects.
This will take only about one hour each day, even if they do a few call backs, because the "initial contact" phone script I provide you with this article is designed to be only 45 seconds to 1 minute max per call.
Second Phone Script - THE POWER FOLLOW UP
The more assertive marketer will use my second phone script designed to get the new prospects aboard their team on the follow up call eight days later.
This call will take about ten minutes, however you're looking to finish the job of getting the person to make a decision, and join your team one way or another (i.e. as a paid member, or preferably as you're doing; a paid member who is working their butt off to get results with many more benefits.)
Remember: A second phone call is 20 to 30 times more powerful a sales tool, than just the initial phone call, and email alone. In other words, your team will grow 20 to 30 times faster.
WHY? Because people want a good reason to do business with you and the company you represent. If you come off friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. People will assume the company you work with is that way.
If you are "standoffish", apathetic, defensive, lacking in knowledge of how to work the business, i.e. basically unprofessional, and not very helpful, they will naturally assume the company you work with is that way.
I hope this is clear, and should not be underestimated, because the sooner your team of say, six to ten paid members are doing the same 90 day plan. You'll be on the road to an extremely profitable business.
Then it's just a matter of working 110% to help them succeed, i.e. you become a manager/servant of sorts, and help keep your team moving forward.
Of course there are tons of other "longer term" marketing strategies that work effectively too, and should be implemented, however I'm just giving you the basics of getting a new team member who is HOT, and ready to make the business work off to a fast start.
Anything less is a complete waste of your valuable time, and theirs.

(FOLLOW UP PHONE SCRIPT - ONE WEEK LATER)
Hi, may I speak with Mr./Mrs. (Prospect),
Mr./Mrs. Prospect, this is Empowerism affiliate Harry Fassett getting back to you. Do you have a minute to speak? (If Yes).
Great! Empowerism as you know is not only a great NetMarketing, and business training program, it also offers members the opportunity to make extra money from home while in training!
From our last conversation you mentioned this was of interest to you correct? (If YES)
What I would like to ask of you today is to join our team, and work with us to develop an extra income while you are learning.
You can join as an "entry level" affiliate starting today, and begin that way, or what I suggest is you become a fully vested member to gain the benefits of paid membership to build your business even faster. Such as...
1. Fifty free opportunity seeker leads every month your a paid member.
2. Net Marketing training area for paid members only.
3. Additional marketing tips, and tactics from Empowerism Team leaders to help grow your business.
4. Additional website "Traffic Generators" to get more prospects to view your Empowerism website, and make more sales!
5. Personal assistance from me, to help you every step of the way.
The second option is what I'm doing for only $24.95 to get started, plus only $19.95 per month thereafter, and my efforts are starting to pay off!...(share with the prospect your testimonial-- make it brief, and to the point to move things along.)
So Mr./Mrs. prospect, how do you see yourself getting started today?
As a free member, or as I'm doing, a paid member with the added benefits? (Please let the prospect respond before saying another word, and however they answer other than saying, "neither"...).
Great! Can you get online while we are on the phone? (If yes).
