TheNPN POWER Tip 1: Prospecting via SMS (Part 2 of 2)
Why I like prospecting via SMS?
The answer is obvious… it’s a communication channel of choice for most young people as well as the not-so-young like me… but what really matters here is that I know for sure that every - yes, I repeat - every SMS I sent out will be read.
I hope that SMS will never be free or so low cost that the spammers catch up one day, knocking out its effectiveness like what it did to email today.
Anyway… here’s what I promised to share with you: The response to the 10 SMSes I sent out last week.
If your guess is 50%, you’re right…
Through all my last few years of prospecting, the response is always around that. So, that means 5 people responded my initial message:
“Hi [First_Name], how r u? Last wk we launched a site that teaches newbies how to market online AT NO COST (if u have a free certificate). Let me know if u r keen…”
However, most of them don’t respond immediately. Many of them responded only in the late evening, hinting at their interest in knowing more.
Following that, I sent out my follow-up SMS:
“[First_Name], just claim your FREE certificate to get started (ONLY 2 left):
www.TheNPNSecret.com/[My_NPN_ID]
Email me at [My_Email_Address] if you need help”
That’s it.
And guess what, now 1 of them is following the 45-day Marketing Plan DAY BY DAY without fail. That’s 10% conversion (1 out of 10).
Now, here’s some food for thought for you:
- How many contacts do you have on your mobile?
- How many SMS can you send a day - 5, 10?
- How many downlines will you have each month just by following this simple sequence?
This method works. It’s the simplest and the most effective I know. Try it… then sit back and watch your network grow!
