How to Follow Up in Network Marketing? Here’s an example!

You may have heard the phrase “The Fortune is in the Follow Up”. If so, would you agree?

In the industry of most sales, but let’s talk NETWORK MARKETING HERE, I believe there are only a couple of actions we do over and over again in our business. One is ‘follow up’.

Here are the actions that come to mind:

• We introduce a product, service or opportunity
• We give them a sample, a video, a ‘tool’ or more information
• We follow up to see on a scale of 1-10 they have an interest
• We share how they can order, join or if they need additional information, we supply it.

That is about it, but HOW it is done varies slightly from person to person, meaning the PERSON doing the SELLING or promotion of the product or opportunity – but also as well – the person they are talking with. We need to know what their interests are and excites them. (For example, if someone approached me on a financial service opportunity and began sharing THEIR excitement about numbers and ‘industry statistics’ they would lose my interest immediately.

It is imperative to know WHO we are talking with – their interests, and perhaps even their color-code personality.) See free color code test here: https://www.colorcode.com/choose_personality_test/. There is a FREE test or one that is more in depth for only $39.95.

For the purpose of educating you how to follow up we are simply offering ideas so will keep this generic and we won’t use a product or company name.

A friend recently shared how SHE handles her Follow Ups. Her success rate is higher than the average.

In her own words:

“I had a request for one of our product samples from a woman who follows me on Facebook. I sent her samples, then the information sheet so that we were in touch twice. Then I followed up to see if the samples had arrived. She said she would let me know. 2 days later she sends me a note stating that she has a gag reflex and can’t take the product and offered to send it back. First, I let her know it’s available in capsules and then asked her if she knew of anyone that might be interested and if she would share. She will.
Lesson? Ask more questions. I assumed like I have with all samples, that she was interested in the drink mix because that’s what I say I offer in samples.

As a result, I’ve put some questions together for myself.

Request for sample questions: (In the case here, the product is a Thermogenic Drink that boosts the metabolism, gives you energy and focus, helps suppress the appetite and cravings…. and perhaps best of all, helps with healthy weight loss.

First response will be ………that’s great! I’m excited for you. Then….the questions.

1. Are you interested in the drink mix or would you prefer to try it in capsule form? …. what have you heard or seen /read about this product that you are looking forward to? (Is it energy, appetite control, reduced cravings, inch loss? This will give me a chance to remind them again what the benefits of the product are and it creates a dialogue)
2. How much weight do you want to lose? (This will allow me to guess the best I can, home many orders will get person to goal so that later I can use this during the follow up and sale. I can suggest the savings that auto-ship will provide)
3. Is something special coming up or are you doing this for health reasons? (I will get a better understanding of what the motivation is)
I will ‘close’ with…. your samples will go out right away. I will call shortly to follow up. NOTE: if this person is a business person, I will bring up the side project here…. I will say: Before I let you, go, would you be interested in this as a side project if it didn’t interfere with what you’re currently doing? If they say yes, I will ask: would you say your interest level is above or below a 5? (qualifying for a 3-way call).
Plan: I will call in a couple days to see if samples have arrived and ask them to let me know when they do and I’ll go over how to use it with them. (And they do! Now I’ve been in touch 3 times.). I’ll ask when they plan to take it…. tomorrow, over the weekend etc. this lets me know when to follow up and get feedback if I don’t hear from them first.


Follow up:

1. “OK, I’m excited for your feedback. Tell me what you liked about the PRODUCT (that’s an open-ended question that allows me to have a conversation. I don’t want to ask a question that only gives me a yes or no because I want the person to get excited about what they liked which usually entails some examples…. I cleaned my entire house, can’t believe the energy, I’m amazed that I wasn’t hungry, it made me feel great etc. I’ll have this info for the close).
The close: (Also known as “Bringing someone to a conclusion”.)

“It sounds like you had a great experience. I love how it gave you energy and appetite control. I’m thinking this product is going to get you where you want to go for your upcoming event…….wedding, next couple of doctor’s visits, reunion, vacation, just in time for summer etc. does this sound like the right product for you?” (this will give me a yes or an objection to overcome).

With a yes, I will ask:

1. Do you want to order on line, call it in or have me do it for You? (Once I get that answer I will ask them if they want to order as a customer or as a Brand Partner. When they ask me what the difference is, I will tell them the benefits of being a Brand Partner and how many people do this as a side project. If the answer is yes, I will qualify for a 3- way call.

No matter what the response is, I will then say…. Thanks for being opened to chatting with me and that I love referrals, if they have others who think may benefit.

If someone chooses to become a customer I may add “if you’d like to earn your product for free, let me show you how you can as a customer who is on a monthly subscription order. (Again, I’m asking an open-ended question so I can see how the person is thinking. If I would have asked a closed ended question like….so do you want to do auto-ship? They could just say no and that would be the end).

If you are like our friend Keli, who shared HER method of follow up you may also feel the same way.

She shared “For me, I need a model with steps in my mind that I can visualize. Putting a script together will keep me focused, give me direction and allow me to cover everything that I want right from the beginning.”

If you are new to network marketing, and a little gun shy with the business opportunity even though you know how beneficial your product, service or opportunity is, this may be useful. If so, let us know. In fact, please share how YOU share and follow up at info@DaveandJoy.com.

P.S. Now that you have become successful with getting a new customer a sound sales followup strategy is a great way to boost your revenues by selling more to existing customers and by getting referrals to new customers. The period immediately following a sale is what is often called “the honeymoon phase,” when there’s a certain level of excitement on both sides.

Also many customers then upgrade and become Brand Partners so they can begin to earn income with products or services that they enjoy.

Why Take the 21-Day MLM Challenge?

Are you involved in Network Marketing and want to Accelerate your Success and grow your team quicker?

This 21-Day was birthed due to a need in the industry.

This challenge has never been shared before in a public setting but because the majority of our business associates are in some MLM business or direct sales company we began to listen to what they say is missing. In January numerous 21-Day Challenges launched? Some were fitness related, some personal development and some for weight loss. But never a 21-Day MLM Challenge.

Over the years many business associates made the suggestion that this information ought to be shared and available- in a generic way that would apply to all MLM companies… as a result THIS challenge IS applicable to any and all network marketing companies, direct sales companies or affiliate programs!

Many people over the years have said “Dave, you have to make this available for others.…” while others have said “Since we are no longer working with the same company we sure MISS your trainings. Can you share something ‘generic’ and available that I can share with my team“? This is how The 21-Day MLM Challenge was birthed.

Why Should You Take the 21-Day MLM Challenge?

  • If you are NEW to network marketing or at a place in your business where you want it to grow your team much quicker than it is currently growing.
  • If your MLM business is stagnant and in need of fresh new energy- new ways of prospecting- new ideas sharing. New ways to follow up and attract new people to your team.
  • If you’d like to double your MLM monthly income in the upcoming months.
  • If you have a team and want them to learn how to BUILD quicker and a with more solid foundation.
  • If you want to learn the MIND SET of leaders in the network marketing industry as well as the solid ‘How To’s.
  • If you love the industry but have never earned a 6-figure annual income…and say “This is MY YEAR to earn the bigger checks”.

If you have answered YES to any of the above questions, check out this new 21-Day MLM Challenge. This is a program that is highly recommended by seasoned professionals in the industry. It is a great challenge for anyone new to network marketing OR for the seasoned professional that wants to take their business to a new level.

Partnership with Tavala and Viiva Announced

We received the following information on the evening of October 24th, 2018. We heard there were some changes happening with our company, Tavala, and chose NOT to be “flown” into Utah with other top leaders for the announcement.

Rather, we decided to wait, assess on our own with zero hype, whether we were on board for our future livelihood with Tavala, as well as the welfare of our team.

Yesterday, October 25th we had a ZOOM conference with the new management team which was INVALUABLE!

The message to all of us in the field is below.

We are thrilled to announce that we are entering into a strategic partnership with Viiva. Viiva is a new company in pre-launch phase and is positioned to launch in the first quarter of 2019.

Dave and I are not what is often referred to as “Sheepel”…. Sheeple (a portmanteau of “sheep” and “people”) is a derogatory term that highlights the passive herd behavior of people easily controlled by a governing power which likens them to sheep, a herd animal that is easily led about.)

What we DID find and feel, is a genuine good fit with Tavala and Viiva and the direction and expertise of the Executive Team and management of Viiva.

We did a LIVE announcement last night and shared our honest take on the changes and share it below.

If anyone is looking to join TAVALA, now is the time as they will be positioned for a favorable ‘merge’ when our current compensation plan goes from Unilevel to a Hybrid Binary. So here to go, grab a beverage and bowl of popcorn and watch below.

Want to learn more? Explore the possibilities? the PROBABILITIES? We ARE genuinely excited. Now IS the time….. We’ll continue to enjoy the TAVALA VIBE as well as products that we have grown to love, now we are ready for massive growth, both in North America as well as internationally.
