Network marketing success factors

Network marketing typically incorporates the sharing of leads generated by cooperative advertising and promotion. This is just one of the many mechanisms that can be used to grow a business. For example, manufacturer-to-dealer support (a manufacturer subsidizing its dealer ads) or company-to-agent incentives (central office subsidizing regional or downline ads).

Whatever the relationship between the parties, they're in business to succeed together. There are three components - lead distribution, training and communications - that can make or break success in network marketing.

Network marketing: lead distribution, training and communications

Lead Distribution. The ConnectMeVoice system helps you manage leads from co-op advertising by distributing them as live calls or as voicemail to any or all of your network marketing associates using our rotational mailbox service. Our system lets you selectively answer and route calls to the appropriate party using our ConnectAnywhere service or send all incoming calls to a voicemail. We also provide toll-free numbers, which are a critical tool for generating response to print or broadcast advertisements.

Training. Training your downline is one of the most important keys to success in network marketing. The ConnectMeVoice system makes this easy using our information-only mailboxes, which allow you to provide the caller with information about your product, your opportunity, and to give specific instructions. For example, "press 1 to hear about product A, press 2 to hear about product B, press 3 to hear about the opportunity." Another tool that you can use for training is our training messages, which is a timed message that gets sent automatically to your downline members. You can have as many training messages as you wish, and they can be sent at the intervals you specify. Your downline can then listen to them on the Web or via their email at no cost.

Communications. A custom system from ConnectMeVoice gives you a powerful tool for getting information to your downline instantly. We create up to 20 distribution lists that can be used to send messages instantly, but you're charged only for the time you take to leave the message. There's no cost to send the recorded message, regardless of how many recipients there are. Your downline can then listen to them at no cost using our Web or email message delivery.

With lead distribution, training and communications support from ConnectMeVoice, you and your associates can reap the maximum benefit from network marketing.
