Like it or not to be successful with your home based business you need a warm market. A warm market is a group of people who know, like, and trust you. Network marketing is a people business and people want to work with people they like. People you see who come into your network marketing company and within weeks make it to top of your company is not by luck. Odds are that they have been in network marketing for quite awhile and have created a list of thousands of people that know and trust them. I just wanted to address how important having a warm market list is.Let’s say you have been in network marketing for a while and you have gone through your list to only sponsor a few people and have a limited amount of warm market left and have exhausted all of your contacts. How do you expand your warm list and add new people to your list? One way is to sponsor a cold market contact and turn their warm market into your warm market. Working with your new team members and helping them work their warm market is very important. If you help them sponsor some of their warm market contacts and you help their new members do the same this can really turn your home based business around. If you teach your team how to work the warm market and they teach their team to do the same you will never run out of warm contacts. Duplication is key to really be successful in network marketing.Another way to expand your warm list is to get out there and network! Quit hiding behind your computer screen and get out into the real world and start meeting new people. Please do not vomit all over people about your home based business opportunity when you first meet them. You want to establish a friendship and get to know them before you invite them to take a look at your opportunity. Remember building your home based business is a long term investment. The sponsor monsters do not make it long in the network marketing arena only the people who build relationships first do well. There are so many great networking events from meetup.com, Young active professionals, and other great social events. Attend these types of events to expand your network and add more people to your list. Having a home based business is all about meeting and finding people you want work with and get to know more about. I have met some really great friends being in network marketing and it’s become a family. So don’t worry if your warm market list is looking a bit weak. The best remedy is to add new life to it by helping your team work theirs and getting out and meeting new people to expand yours. Your list will be your key to success for your home based business. Network marketing is all about building a network!
