How to recruit customers via the internet

One of my many ventures is a Network Marketing company I'm involved in. I'll spare you the details in this post... but I mention it because while learning how to build a downline I check outed tons of "gurus", books and programs. The one that stands head and shoulders above the rest teaches you how to prospect online.

He shows you how to make the internet your "warm market". How to make friends online, and then attract them into your business. And while he's focused on Network Marketing, his techniques can work in any business where you need to "sell" or find customers. Realtors, CPA's, or even Affiliate marketers can find customers this way. Plus, you can use his concepts in the "real" world - offline, in-person.

Now, while I highly recommend him... he is pretty expensive. His name, Max Steingart, and his sites are www.maxsteingart.com and www.prospectingmastery.com. I took his $500 boot camp, but could have just bought his $197 program that teaches the same thing - but the boot camp was live training online and on the phone.

If you want to learn from a master... you've got to pay him. However, since I'm a former sales trainer, sales manager, and do currently train my downline EVERYTHING I learn - including his techniques, drop an email to monaviedrinker@gmail.com and I can train you too. But I'll do if for a fraction of his price since I'm not yet an expert in his system and don't have the same wealth of examples he does.

I'd consider charging $50 instead of $500 and you'd probably get 95% of what he teaches.

For now, let me share the basic concept... he searches online profiles at places like the Yahoo Member Directory (members.yahoo.com) to find people you have something in common with. He then teaches you how to strike up conversations via an Instant Messenger like Yahoo's.

Finally, he's got a formula for how to advance the conversation towards your business without ever sounding like you are selling. The way he does it people thank you for contacting them. When you hear his ideas they sound pretty obvious.... but they are not obvious until you hear them. Everyone... and I mean EVERYONE... tries to do what he does, but totally opposite of how he does it.

Most people spam, and sell, and push. They also fill their own profiles with nothing but their network marketing opportunity. I was quilty of all of the mistakes but now that I'm doing things correctly, I can meet anyone I want, at any time, and create hundreds of prospects for my business.

Go ahead and pay Max for his $500 boot camp, or buy his $197 package... or email me... in fact, if you're interested in my Network Marketing business, and join it (for $39) I'd just include you in my regular free trainings.

But the bottom line... of all the gurus, programs, books and seminars I've found... Max Steingart's in the one I like the best.
