How "Funded
Proposal" Marketing Techniques
Can Keep Your Network Marketing Business Afloat
Copyright

Trying to get
people to join your network
marketing program and earn commissions before you run out of money to
promote
it can be a struggle for new network marketers. This happens quite
frequently
at the beginning of a network marketer's career. Let me show you how to
use a
funded proposal to change this.
The worst part
about network marketing is
getting excited over finding a prospect who joins your program only to
have
them drop out after just one or two months, if not sooner. It can be
very
disheartening to see your team starting to grow and then suddenly
dwindle away.
A lot of people
who venture into network
marketing never get any further than this first step. However, it is a
well-known fact that many successfully build up active sales teams, and
earn a
very good income on both sales of products and commissions generated
from the
activity of their downline.
So, how can you
improve your chances of being
successful? How can you stay motivated until your network marketing
program
starts generating a healthy income for you?
For starters,
it is much easier to recruit
affiliates into your network marketing program when you have already
warmed
them up and generated an initial sale from them. The first sale is
always going
to be the most difficult to get. So, it only makes sense for network
marketers
to find a way to generate an initial sale before introducing their
network
marketing business proposal to the prospect.
This is how a
"funded proposal" system
works. A funded proposal system is when a low-cost but useful product
or
service is promoted first. The prospect is then introduced to the
network
marketing program after the initial purchase of the product has been
made.
This serves two
purposes.
1. It warms up
the prospect of the idea that you
are a trustworthy product or service provider.
2. It provides
you with some upfront income that
you can use to fund your main business.
There are many
types of funded proposal systems
available today. In fact, a number of very clever internet marketers
have taken
the funded proposal concept and turned it into a complete online
business
system.
Funded proposal
systems offer internet marketers
a number of business-building services for a low one-time or monthly
fee.
When you join a
funded proposal system, you will
receive a standard website which allows you to add your own network
marketing
or affiliate marketing links to it. Then, instead of promoting all of
your
different products and services, you simply promote the funded proposal
system
via a single link or splash page.
Now, every time
somebody joins through your link
you will earn a small commission from the system, and the new member
will be
introduced to all your links and be encouraged to sign up to them so as
to be
able to promote them on his or her own affiliate funnel system.
A professional
affiliate funnel system will
always give the customer the choice of adding his or her own links to
the
system or simply joining the downline of the affiliate through whose
link he or
she joined.
Two very
popular funded proposal systems these
days are Prosperity Marketing System and Affiliate Funnel.
A lot of people
find it easier to work with the
funded proposal system to earn some cash on the front-end, and then
they sell
their main business on the backend to prospects who join the system. It
is
definitely an intelligent way of promoting any online business as it
gives you
far more opportunities to make money and a higher probability of making
sales
because the prospects are already warmed up to your proposals.
I
wish you the best of success,
