How to Start a Conversation About Your MLM

How will you start your conversation about your MLM Business and not being too obvious?

I think the biggest thing people struggle with in networking is how to start a conversation. This post will give you some simple strategies.

MLM Prospecting Standard Lines

You have probably heard all the MLM prospecting standard ice breakers right? These work too of course but not everyone is comfortable saying them, lines like:
- “Do you keep your options open to making money if it doesn’t interfere with what you are doing?”
- “Would you be open to a side project if it didn’t interfere with what you are doing?”
- “Do you believe in multiple streams of income?”
Those lines have worked for years and years and I am sure will continue to do so, however, in this post, I wanted to give you some different angles…

How to Start a Conversation About Your Business

Let’s first start with offline MLM prospecting. A really easy way how to start a conversation with someone you meet while out and about is notice something about them, hat, shirt, shoes, whatever and make a compliment and then ask a question and then be ready to active listen. Here are some examples:
“I like those shoes/earrings/glasses/etc, where did you get them?” Then, listen for something you can associate something else with. What you are doing here is attempting to build a relationship without them seeing an alternative motive. Eventually you want to get to what they do for a living, and THAT is where the magic happens.
Once you hear what they do for a living, which, is how most people assign their identity to. Ask someone who they are and they will most likely answer with the job they currently hold. So, once you learn their occupation, this is where you associate a story about your MLM.
You want to KNOW these stories from your network marketing company, know about teachers, plumbers, truck drivers, etc that have had some form of success in your business and use those stories! The best sales people use stories and they are actually easier than some weird dialogue about network marketing.
