MLM Prospecting: How to Recruit More Reps Using These 7 Powerful Questions

Getting prospects to join your MLM (multi-level marketing) business is not just about finding the right people, it is also about knowing what questions to ask when you do find them. The very best recruiters in MLM know the right questions to ask to get a positive response from prospects.

These questions are not tricks or gimmicks, but simply the best ways to start a dialogue and get the conversation moving in the right direction. You really need to know how to close the deal before you start prospecting, which is why it is important to know when to introduce these questions as well.

How to Recruit More Reps Using These Powerful Questions

You should try to find a “break-in communication,” which will prevent you from saying too much. This keeps your prospecting short and precise and will lead to more prospects sharing their information.

Why is prospecting so important for your MLM Network Marketing business?

Prospecting is one of the most important components of building a successful MLM business.  It’s a consistent daily method of operation that you need to do in conjunction with recruiting.

You cannot have one without the other. You must prospect every single day in order to build a business.  When you are prospecting, you’ll want to put them into your pipeline and keep filling your pipeline.

Eventually, you’ll have some prospects that will be recruited and will eventually join your organization.

For example, let’s say you are meeting a potential client for coffee. After a few minutes of formalities and chit chat, you say something like, “I really have to go, but before I do, could I ask you something?” This gives you the break in the communication you need to get things started. Once you have found this break, then you can ask the following powerful questions:

2. Do you keep your income options open when it comes to making more money?

If you are looking for better ways to recruit more prospects for your MLM opportunity then these questions will help.

    Love the questions that you have shared! I’ll be using this in my business. Thanks, Nate!

  2. Hey Nate,

    Simple questions and non-intrusive. Love them… It is so simple yet effective.

    I’ve been talking about being more honest and truthful lately and one thing that happens here is people try to ask people out for coffee.

    Their intention really isn’t just to meet someone for a drink. They try to sneak a chance to pull someone to a business opportunity, which is really sneaky in my opinion.

    A little off here, but I guess what I’m trying to say here is that more people know what network marketing is about and they usually ask a question in return to questions you might ask them like “is this network marketing?”

    The best way isn’t to avoid the question. The best way is to answer them truthfully. That way, nobody’s time gets wasted and your friends will still respect you for it.

    Just my two cents worth.

    Great questions… everyone should use them! 🙂

      Hi Darren,

      Honesty is the best policy. There’s nothing to hide. Even if they do ask if this is MLM or Network Marketing. Some ask just to ask, some ask because they don’t know. We make the mistake of thinking that it’s always negative but not always the case. That’s why we have to ask and see what they mean by that question to get clarification. Thanks for the feedback Darren!

  3. Katrina says:

    Awesome post, Nate! As always! I like to find people that already blog and are good at it and ask them if they’d be interested in getting paid for something they already do!

  4. Andrea says:

    Great post Nate. Love the questions

  5. Hey Nate,

    Best recruiters know how to get their prospects to talking. This is how you qualify and disqualifying them.

    These are excellent questions to see who you will be interested in your offers. Many people have the idea that you have to be the fast talking salesman to build an MLM business. But it’s totally the opposite.

    Asking questions and listening makes you a better recruiter then the stereotypical fast talking salesman. The one thing that I learned, especially Ray Higdon, is asking these questions then ask “why”, to really get their wheels turning!

    Thanks for the great questions!

      Hey Sherman,

      Exactly. The one who asks the questions controls the conversation. Developing the relationships and finding out what the prospect’s desires are what the rep should be focusing on. So many reps do it wrong and wonder why they never get the results they want. Thanks for the feedback Sherman!

  6. Line up each question to create a positive experience. I dig your insight Nate! Because each question is clear, direct and non-threatening, and by setting up the queries in such a manner you can naturally disarm the person across the table from you.

    Do this and you are pretty much golden, at least in terms of accelerating the relationship building process.

    Thanks for sharing!
