One of the secrets to success in the network marketing industry is to create a steady flow of eligible leads.

If you’re new to this business you might question why that is so important. Here’s what you need to know.

This is a numbers game, that's all there is to it.

Yes, you’re dealing with people, and yes you need to build relationships.

But the bottom line is you need to speak to a certain number of people in order to find the small percentage who will actually take the business seriously.

Here are a few real life examples.

Bill Britt is one of the most successful distributors in Amway. When asked about his secret to success he said, "There is no secret. I simply showed the plan to 1200 people. 900 said, ‘No’ and only 300 signed up. Out of those 300, only 85 did anything at all. Out of those 85 only 35 were serious, and out of those 35, 11 made me a millionaire."

The top money earner in Mannatech, Jeff signed up 27 people his initial month. You might think that he is particularly talented at sponsoring. In reality, Jeff is the first to tell you that he is not talented at all. In fact, he thinks that he did rather poorly. To recruit those 27, Jeff talked to 2,000 people that first month. And of the 27, only one, Ray Gebauer, did anything significant, and he has more than half of Mannatech in his downline. Jeff’s word to you is this: The numbers never lie. Pick your goal and then get into massive action. If you talk to enough people, you will make it!

But here’s the catch: You have your own set of numbers – and they'll remain a mystery to you until AFTER YOU’VE SUCCEEDED.

So if you’ve gone through 50 or 100 people and you haven’t found one serious person yet, you can either give up and assume the business doesn’t work, or realize that you are working through your own set of odds.

Of course you can improve your numbers through training and experience. But you can’t modify human nature! The reality is that a lot of people will join your opportunity with vast intentions and loads of enthusiasm! But a significant number of them won’t make a genuine commitment to building a business.

If you’re sensitive to this reality and are willing to search for the few who will follow through, then you’ve got what it takes to achieve success in this business.

What do you need to do? It’s simple: play the network marketing numbers game!

The best way to do that is to use some proven tools and strategies.

If the numbers tell you that you need to talk to a lot of prospects, you need to find ones who are pre-qualified. In other words,people who know and understand something about network marketing, are committed to this kind of business, and are searching for a more effective approach.
