You know if there's one thing that's become ever so clear to me it's what goes on inside a distributor while (s)he's working the business.

You see when someone's working their business, really working it, there are things going on inside the person that are totally dictated by what goes on outside of that person. And what I mean by outside is what kind of activity that distributor is creating in their prospecting world.

When a new distributor, or any distributor for that matter, is prospecting and going through leads or whatever other method they are doing, they inevitably have to talk to folks and determine if these people are really qualified prospects for their business.

Even those prospects that are generated through non-contact type methods like having someone track you down and sign up under you. Whatever.

When this happens a new distributor finds themself having to converse with that new prospect. And what happens when this occurs? Many things.

A List for MLM Success.

That is what I am talking about here. Every new mlm distributor needs a checklist when they get started to create a "map" of what the need to do to get started.

Why?

Simple.

Duplication.

If you have a checklist that a new network marketing distributor can follow and check off what he/she has done, then you have created a system that can not only be duplicated, but also taught.

By virtually anyone.

A checklist also will provide another thing besides duplication.

Accountability.

If a new MLM distributor knows that he/she will be asked about completing part of a checklist, then the odds of them doing it just went up a lot!

It simply shows the new Network Marketing distributor tasks that need to be done, and a good checklist will even have the date the task was done.

INFERNO Secret:

If a new mlm distributor has a list of things that they must do, the seriousness of the focus they have will increase significantly.

You, as a sponsor, must provide a PATH to success in the beginning that WALKS the new distributor through the first tasks that need to be done.

And it must be a step by step path.

Your checklist must have some form of direction to it and purpose. It cannot be just a list of tasks that are meaningless. They must be what will get the new mlm distributor prepared for the initial launch of their new MLM business.

There are many forms and kinds of checklists. I have seen many out in the industry, and all of them differed in some way.

It's not the list itself that is important as the fact that there is a track to follow and a path that you can access as you get started in this business.

A list should contain 3 things:

1) Tasks that Set up the new distributor with the MLM company.

This part of the list should contain what is needed to get the new distributor in the computer and inventory ordered, and anything else your company requires you to so.

2) A list of what needs to be done to set up and engage the MLM business.

This can be as simple as a warm market list and a time to start calling the names.

3) Target Dates to accomplish the tasks in Network Marketing.

Make the dates have a sense of urgency but not intimidating to the new person…

And a list should always be "user friendly — easy to follow ad not complicated as this will expedite the new mlm distributor's willingness to get it done quicker.

Here is checklist that will work for any new distributor and get them focused and on track for Network Marketing success:

Steps to MLM Success for a New MLM Distributor:

1) Make sure all the paperwork is in and Product ordered.

Date:______________________________

2) Schedule the first MLM Training Session and Kick off Meeting

Date:________________________________

Kick Off Meeting Agenda for New MLM Distributor:

3) Go over the New distributor Manual-Section by Section

Date:_________________________________

4) Call and get 3 way calling set up on their phone

Date:__________________________________

5) Go through the tools and brochures and answer any questions

Date:__________________________________

6) Start the warm market and "Hello it's Me" letter list (Memory Jogger)

Date:___________________________________

7) Go through Fast Start Training (If applicable)

Date: ___________________________________

Role Play with new distributor approach and 3 way script

Date:_______________________________________

9) Set time to start 3 way calls

Date:_________________________________________

10) Plan First Exposure Meeting with warm market

Date:_________________________________________

As you can see, the first part is to get the paperwork out of the way, and then you do what I call a "Kick Off Meeting". This is a meeting that is set to train and officially "kick off" the business of the new mlm distributor.

INFERNO Secret:

Every new network marketing distributor needs an "Official Start" to their mlm business, and a Kick Off meeting accomplishes that. It is the starting point of where the new network marketing distributor starts working their business.

Follow the steps to the Kick off meeting and if there is a Fast Start training from your company, go over that with them. PassionFire has a Fast Start Training as well if your mlm company does not have one.

The tools are VERY important. Go over all the tools with the new mlm distributor, and make sure they have an understanding of them.

Role play with the new mlm distributor with 3 way calling. This is a MUST! It will help create confidence in them and also show them the power in the 3 way..

Then plan their first exposure meeting, usually in their home, or a luncheon, or just setting appointments with the new distributor to go see people.

Go over this checklist with the new mlm distributor, and START THEM OFF RIGHT for MLM Success in Network Marketing.
