Take Good Care In Choosing The Right Person When Recruiting

I want to tell you about my dealings with this person named Ms. Q.

Ms. Q. has several kids and is also giving a good effort in this business and that's a more challenging task. However, if you become friends and wish to keep in contact with her, limit it to no more than email and give her 48-72 hours to reply. Or if it's something that anyone in your team can use, and it's not personal, then put it in the team bulletin board.

After my short dealings with her, I found out the hard way that I'm glad we're going separate ways. The lessons I learned are when I prospect to someone like her, I'll remember to let them know that I'm looking for someone who is serious and will do the business no matter what it takes.

If they feel that they're getting intruded in their personal lives, or they feel that they won't be able to put in the 10-15 hours that it takes to do the business, I suggest you immediately disqualify them and say No first. There's little reason for you to be dealing with a prospect who's not serious about the business.

Make sure that when you successfully signed up people who have a genuine interest in a home-based business and who will do this business no matter what it takes, be sure to invest in them. It is in both your best interests and those of the people in your team to help them in their business, teach them to recruit like aces, and become leaders.

Otherwise, you're going to have some conflict with them and you're going to wind up having to replace that person.

So if you're not sure about that person, don't bring them to the business. As Dani Johnson said, you're going to drag them wherever you go if you bring in an unsure person.

When you hit that recruiting trail, deal with prospects with a positive life force. If they're too abrasive, or they yell at you and say "What is this about (with an unpleasant tone)?" then just get out of the conversation. You don't need people like that in your team. What you want are people who are willing to make your investment in them worth it. That is, you willing to help them and them willing to do their part, no matter what it takes for them to get to their next goal.

Well I've said enough.

Recruiting Through Craigslist

If you're recruiting people to join your downline on craigslist, don't be surprised if your ad doesn't show up. if it did, don't be surprised if it got flagged and deleted. That's because the jobs section is meant for those who are seeking to work for someone else, like a 9-6 job where they commute 2 hours every day back and forth, back and forth, and you know how that goes.

My suggestion is set up an account with craigslist, using an gmail account. However, make sure you have one account per day, so for example if you're going to post on Monday, you set up an account for Monday, like and userid with a Monday on it. Using that account, post your ads on the small biz section. optimize it for a keyword, like "work at home mom" or something like that. Put it in a city like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, or New York City, where the ads expire in seven days. Withing 24-48 hours, Google reindexes its search ending and gives time sensitive ads, like craigslist ads a higher ranking. When that ad expires, log back to the account, repost it and the ad will continue to show.

As long as you're consistent, you'll never know what will turn up.

I won't guarantee conversions to signups right away, but if someone Googles "work at home mom", your ad may come up.

Continue your recruiting on the jobs section and the IP address of your computer may be logged and banned by Craigslist.
