Today I am going to do a quick how-to on reverse reply marketing. Many Directmatches reps, including myself, have built a nice downline using these very simple methods. After reading this post and applying some of the techniques, you will too. Lets get started.

First, you need to know who you are looking for. With Directmatches you have a variety of people you can target. For this post I am only going to talk about two types. People looking to get involved in a home based business and people who want to advertise their home business business or MLM opportunity. I recommend that you start with the people looking to advertise and network. They are everywhere plus they are experienced and are more likely to be receptive to everything you and Directmatches have to offer.

Now that you know who you are looking for, need to now where to look. There are many places both online and off line. If you want to work online, go find yourself a large social networking site. MySpace is the king but there are currently many other social networking sites. There are many being put up everyday. One great resource I stumbled onto was Wikipedia.org. They have a large list of social networking sites (notice that they even give an estimate of the size of the community).

Another great place to find leads is in classifieds; online or offline. USfreeAds and Craigslist are examples of some large online classified sites. For offline leads, check your local Newspapers, magazines and the bulletin boards and those “shoppers” at your local supermarket . You can find all kinds of classified by doing a search with Google or Yahoo. Also, keep in mind that Directmatches is available in many countries throughout the world so you can use the following techniques using classified in place like South Africa, Australia and France.

Now that you know who who are looking for and where to find them, it is now time to start a conversation with them. All you need to do is either directly ask them about their business or reply to one of their ads. Here is an example of the approach I use. It all starts with a simple question or two like this;

Hey ,
Sounds interesting, how’s business?
Do you have a website?

Let me know,
Corey

That’s it. Best thing about this is that you can really leverage your time and do many of these very fast. Just have a template like the version above saved in a word file (or any text editor) for when you are ready to start working. Just right click to copy your template, find a bunch of ads and then right click to start pasting. Depending on how hard you want to work you can really knock out a ton of these, fast. In just an hour you can send out 25-50 messages or more. To put it in perspective, if you’ve done any phone calling with your current business, just think of how many calls you could do in that same time…not many.

Now all that you have to do is check your inbox over the next few days because many of these people will be replying to share their opportunity with you. At this time you can reply with something like this;

Thats it! Now you have establish a relationship with the prospect. At this point, most will either click on the link and sign up or they will reply with questions.

The template for the second reply is also very effective to use with the SPAM you get in your email everyday. For more specific info on that check out this earlier post of mine here – http://yourdirectmatches.com/2007/02/11/how-to-use-spam-to-your-advatage/

There you have it. Now you know who to look for, where to find them and what to say. Just tweak the above examples to include your information and get to work. You can spend as little as an hour or two a week doing this with great results. Before you know it your downline will build and the weekly checks will be in the mailbox. As always, let me know if you have any questions or anything else to ad. Happy prospecting!

Greetings from Minnesota where we are in the middle of a winter snow storm. Last night we received between 9-14 inches of the white stuff. I have been shoveling and snowblowing for most of the day but have decided to call it quits since the weatherman is telling us to expect another 6″ tonight. I heard that some of you out east are experiencing even more than that. Hang in there guys.

For those of you living in the warmer states, or other “balmy” parts of the world, who might be thinking this sounds like a nightmare, it really isn’t. Yes it is nasty and does get old being stranded in the house but is good weather to catch up on some reading, do some writing and/or spending some quality time with the family. Plus i know there are few skiers, snowboarders and snowmobilers who are pretty happy today.

With that said, I didn’t get any new stuff out this morning because of this BUT I am currently putting the finishing touches on a new post. Now that I am pretty much stranded in my house I will have plenty of time to put some stuff together. You should see something either tonight or early tomorrow.

One last note of recognition before I go. Congrats to Susan Parker (SPCash) who just put in her 106th person the other day. WOW! Keep up the unbelievable work. Be on the lookout for the my next post because it will give everyone a little insight on what technique Susan has been using so successfully. See you then.

Knowing that most of you are entrepreneurs, I bet you will appreciate this blog post I found today. I wanted to share it with you because it is a great motivator and will make a great prospecting tool.

I don’t know the author of this article personally but he sure struck a chord with me today. Check it out. Good stuff!

Just wanted to point out the fact that I’ve added another page to the blog. You can see it here; http://yourdirectmatches.com/how-directmatches-can-help-you/

It is designed both for people who are not yet familiar with Directmatches and new people who might not completely understand all of the benefits.

Stop by and check it out. If there are any benefits I might have missed, or that you might want to expand on, just put a comment below that post on that page. Remember, when you post a comment, put in your business website address. If visitors like your comments they will become curious and click on your name to learn more about you and/or your opportunity. In other words, you get free traffic.

I get questions concerning the benefits of upgrading a Directmatches account all the time, but, until now there was never a nice and tidy way of explaining them. This should help. After reviewing the commission plan I whipped up a chart explaining the general features associated with each subscription.

Directmatches Benefits Table

Keep in mind, this information is only a general summary, you will want to visit the “compensation plan” in your back office for a more in-depth explanation. Here is where to find that information in your back office;
1) Login
2) Click on the “Back Office” tab (the upper right-most tab towards the top of your browser window),
3) Look to your left and click on “Commission Plan” (5th down on the list on the right)

This tool should help you and your personally sponsored understand the benefits of upgrading. If anyone sees anything missing or has suggestions on how to improve the table, please let me know.
