Member You - Recruiting on Message Boards
For sales reps and sales leaders alike, technology, like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, will become increasingly important as we move toward the future. Many organizations have already invested in CRM systems and much has been written about how these systems have not delivered on their promised results. Fortunately, the CRM industry is evolving with new innovations that will help drive better returns on sales force automation investments.The Purpose of CRMThe idea behind CRM
First and foremost, DO NOT reply with your Gourmet Food business or any other business that does not have anything to do with Candles or Children's Toys. She's already mentioned that she's interested in these types of products. Replying with anything other than what was requested can actually make you one look like a fool and two makes you look like you're not interested in anything else BUT recruiting. You didn
Now and again I'll get into a conversation about 'educating the client', especially when a contractor talks about losing jobs to competition that's 'undercutting' them. One such conversation happened last week when a builder mentioned constantly losing jobs to, shall we say, less than reputable competition.Typically in this situation I'll talk about educating the prospect, to which the response is usually, "I don't have time to teach the prospect everything I know." (This is usually closely followed by,
Scenario 1
A new mother has signed up to a message board you visit often. Her first post may sound something like this:
"I'm looking for a way to work at home, can anyone help me?"
Take a look at what you know about her. If she hasn't said anything but "I'm looking", then all you know is she is a mother in need of an income. That's it. So to reply with a plug for your business is not only rude, but also does not help you or the person posting the question.
Get to know this person first. Find out what her interests are. Signing someone up that's not interested in your product is a waste of your time and theirs. By showing interest in this new person, you are not only proving yourself worth of friendship, but also laying the ground work for future recruits from those lurking. If they see you give a general interest in the person, and spot your signature line, they are going to much more likely to join should your business be what they are looking for.
Also another point that needs to be made - never email or send private messages unless that person has specifically asked for this information. Word of mouth travels far, and people remember those that "spam" them.
Remember: Quality Over Quantity!
Scenario 2
A new mother has signed up to a message board you visit often. Her first post may sound something like this:
"I'm looking for a way to work at home, can anyone help me? I might be interested in selling Candles or Children's Toys. Any suggestions?"

Choose solutions that are effective—and implement the solution completely. The solution phase is where everything gets tied together and you start to get results. This part of solving problems is straight-forward in concept but not necessarily easy to do. Choose a solution strategy that works, i.e., fixes the right problem and is practical for your situation. Then implement the strategy--completely.Because you’ve defined the problem carefully, identified the root causes and verified them, you know

Nobody likes a copycat! Remember this as you read this article on blog tip. If you are going to take the time to build a blog don`t waste it by taking other content. There are some very educated people who take time to write these articles to actually help the reader accomplish things that otherwise would be a mystery. So don`t steal their thunder by taking credit for such things.Most of us know what a blog directory is. Most of us have some knowledge that everyone who has an online presence needs an onli

Although the job market has improved over the past year, many employers are still reluctant to make a long term commitment to growing their employee rolls until it is clear that a solid economic expansion is underway. They need new staff to handle the increase in orders and customer demands but are loath to hire permanent workers who may have to be cut in a few months if business stagnates. Any reduction in force carries major headaches for a company: employee morale falls, lawsuits arise, precious time is eaten

Strategic planning is a management tool. It is used to help an organization clarify its future direction – to focus its energy, and to help members of the organization work toward the same goals. The planning process adjusts the organization’s direction in response to a changing environment. Strategic planning is a disciplined effort to support fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it does and why it does it, with a focus on where it wants to go and how it is going

You didn't even take the time to see what she wanted in the first place. That doesn't seem like you care much about their wants/needs.
Scenario 3
Message Board Post:
"Hi, I'm interested in the Mary Kay business opportunity. Can someone please post a little more information?"
As mentioned above, do not reply with ...
You've got mail! OR I've PMed you! First of all it makes the business look "sneaky" like there's something secretive about the business. Secondly, she didn't request to be bombarded with emails or PMs. She asked that the information be posted there. Need I mention spam laws?
Lurkers...
There are way more lurkers on message boards versus actual posters. Some people just prefer to lurk and don't ever post. If you post the information right there, lurkers will see the information and also see the link in your signature line. If you send the original poster and email or pm; the lurker is most likely going to search elsewhere for the information. Potential recruit lost.
Scenario 4
Message Board Post:
"Hi, I'm interested in the Discovery Toys business opportunity. Can someone please post a little more information?"
After the original post you see one or two posts. Maybe someone answered her question and they've been posting back and forth about it. Or maybe a couple of different reps have answered a couple of different ways. Do NOT jump in and say the same thing that's already been posted. Do NOT jump in and say something different and say ... visit my website or send me an email. This is just plain rude. If you can't say something different than what has already been said or nothing more than contact me ... d
