These strategies come from 29+ years worth of experience practicing each of them.
Best MLM Strategies To Recruit New Customers
As you go through these strategies, make sure to get started and put them into action, knowledge not acted upon is worthless.
Your network marketing business will not build itself..
Build Strong Personal Relationships
One of the most powerful ways to recruit new customers in MLM is by leveraging your existing personal relationships. Friends, family members, social media contacts, and colleagues can be your initial customer base.
Approach them with sincerity, providing information about your products or services and emphasizing how they can benefit from them.
Building trust and rapport is crucial in these early stages.
Be careful to not reach out to your personal friends and family that don’t have some kind of existing interest to start their own business.
You want to first make a list of contacts who would have the most interest in order from most to least. From there, cross out and remove contacts who most likely wouldn’t be a good fit.
Utilize Social Media To Establish Your Presence In MLM
Social media platforms have become indispensable tools for MLM recruitment. Create engaging profiles on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.
Share valuable content, such as product testimonials, success stories, and informative posts about your industry.
However, some MLM’s don’t allow posting online without specific approval and when other conditions are met. This means you’ll want to always double check the terms and conditions of the company you are going to promote for.
Content Marketing
Content marketing is an excellent strategy to attract and recruit new customers. Start a blog or a YouTube channel related to your MLM niche.
Share valuable information, tips, and insights. By positioning yourself as an authority in your field, you can naturally attract individuals interested in what you offer.
Use a call-to-action in your content to direct readers or viewers to your MLM website or some kind of MLM funnel.
Through content marketing you’ll also build your own brand over time. This is important in case you end up promoting other MLM’s or offers.
This enables you to not have to start all over again, since your channel or content isn’t built around the MLM alone.
Build your brand first, as it is everlasting.
Attend Networking Marketing Events
Networking marketing events and even affiliate marketing events, both online and offline, can be goldmines for recruiting new customers and distributors.
Join industry events, attend conferences, and participate in local business networking groups.
These events provide opportunities to meet like-minded individuals who may be interested in joining your MLM network or becoming customers.
Keep in mind that not everyone is going to be interested and that’s okay.
The primary reason to attend events to network is to build more long term relationships in your business. Each long term relationship may not have an immediate “win” or “benefit” and that’s okay.
Each business partnership or network made may take many weeks or months, but overtime they are extremely fruitful.
We have attended numerous events over the years, and have signed up many people as customers and distributors as a result, so we know this works very well. Many of these contacts are still with us today.
Offer Incentives
Being able to provide great incentives can be a powerful motivator for recruiting new customers.
Offer discounts, free products, or exclusive access to certain resources for those who join your MLM network or refer others.
These incentives can create a sense of urgency for your audience to take action, and to join your team .vs. joining someone else’s team.
If you want even more success, make sure you do what’s called, “offer stacking”. Which is the process of stacking so much value into your offer that the audience nearly has no choice but to say yes to you!
Because even if you are a part of the best MLM in the industry, the promotional materials you can use may not highlight enough incentives in their offer.
So, consider making your own promotional materials, marketing funnels, and more.

Not everyone spends hours glued to the internet. We try to make every move we make count, and by watching the video above you will learn some of the ways we do it.
Email Marketing
Using email marketing for network marketing is a powerful strategy for attracting new customers and downline members.
With personalized emails, you can nurture relationships by offering valuable content, showcasing product benefits, and building trust over time.
This consistent communication keeps your audience engaged and more likely to consider joining your team or purchasing products.
Additionally, email marketing allows for automation, making it easier to follow up with prospects and manage leads.
By segmenting your list, you can send tailored messages that address specific interests, increasing conversion rates and strengthening your downline.

Showcase Good Success Stories
Sharing top success stories of individuals who have thrived in your MLM network can be incredibly persuasive.
These stories serve as testimonials to the effectiveness of your products and business opportunity.
Encourage your successful team members to share their experiences and results, which can inspire and attract new recruits extremely fast.
Each network marketing success story can even be combined into a montage, or a collection of success stories that you and new recruits can also use as well.
Again, it is however better in MLM to focus on stories from product and service customers.
Follow Up and Persistence Tips
Recruitment often requires persistence, especially as a network marketing strategy. Not everyone you approach will join your MLM network immediately.
Follow up with leads regularly, providing additional information and addressing any concerns they may have.
Be sure to highlight the following factors about the MLM you are a part of, for leads and potential prospects you come in contact with…
- Compensation plan
- Niche or industry
- Quality of products or services being offered
- Number of years in existence
- How the company was started
- Who founded the company
