MLM, Network Marketing Should Use Text Message Marketing to Share the Opportunity!

Are you a part of a network marketing, MLM or direct selling company? Other than making a list, like most of them tell you to do, how are you getting in front of new prospects? Do you have a website? How does it rank in a Google search?
Luckily it gets better than just that, the jack swing says "Do you have a MOBILE website?" "Do you have a Text based client list?" "Are you using your products to promote YOU?" Try it right now, text "newclients" and your name to 41242
 (I`m serious, USA only but try it now.)
Has the penny dropped yet?
Text Message Marketing gives you the ability to obtain the phone number of a new prospect, drive traffic to your website, which helps its Google ranking, and allows you a way to mass communicate to your downline and prospects!!!
While email and Facebook have their level of effectiveness, text message marketing allows you to get your message in front of a prospect or your downline when you it to be! With both email and Facebook, you have to hope your target audience is in front of their computer in enough time to read your message. Facebook can bury your message below a couple hundred wall posts and there is no guarantee that your email will be read or wasn't dumped into their spam folder.
How many people do you know that have a cell phone? Virtually all of them, right? I'm sure over 95% of those people that get text messages open them. Ask anybody where their phone is at any point in the day. It is probably within 3 feet of them. My attempt here is not to dump on Facebook and email, but rather to show Text Message Marketing is much more effective.
How does it work? First, there is the short code, that is the 4 - 6 digit number that a message is sent to. Second, is the keyword, chosen by the business owner, which is typed as the message. Press "SEND" in a few seconds the auto-response message will be sent to your phone. Try it now, it`s free, text "newclients" and your name to 41242 now.
Now, when you market your business, whether it is through business cards (which we can do using this system,) fliers (with your personal text code added), car magnets or your website (or Mobile Website which we can set up for you), you need to advertise your text message campaign in every other medium you use to market your business. Even if you are talking to someone about your business and you do not have any business cards or other information.
 Ask them to get their phone out and text your keyword to the short code. Boom!! They have the information you want them to have right there on their phone. You need to promote the campaign as much as possible. Are you getting a feel for just how powerful this will be for your competition?
Now, the best thing about text message campaigns is not just the fact that you were able to give your prospect information about your company, but when they send that text to the short code, you now have their phone number! You are able to compile a list of people you know are interested in looking for an opportunity to make more money! That is huge! So, when you advertise your text campaign and people are texting in, you are building that list.
Now as you compile these phone numbers, you will be able to do two things. One, you can place a call to that person and thank them for taking the time to look at your business and the opportunity it offers. Do they have any questions you can answer? Let them know when the next webinar or opportunity presentation is going to take place.
If you do not want to call them, you have the ability to send them text messages through your back office to inform them of upcoming events.
This gives you control of when your prospect sees your message. Approximately 95% of all text messages are read within 15 minutes. Email and Facebook do not give you that kind of power. To illustrate the power a text message campaign has over influencing a customer's buying decision, restaurants will blast a text out right before lunch or dinner to influence their customers buying decisions. Restaurants on average have a 20% response rate! That's huge!
Now, when you send out a text message that contains a link to your (MOBILE)website, each click on that link helps optimize your website's ranking in Google and other search engines. So when a customer does a search for your product, service or a work from home opportunity, you improve your chances of being on the first page of Google, which is where you want to be. Moreover google uses a slightly different system for mobile website rankings, so it is even easier to rank high.
As your list of phone numbers grows, you have the ability to group those numbers into separate list, so you can communicate only to your downline. For example, let them know there is a team call tonight. Here is the dial in number and the access code.
You can group prospects into another list and let them know the great successes you and your company are having. Tell them when the next opportunity meeting or webinar is going to occur.
The possibilities are endless with a text message campaign. How big and outside of the box can you think? That's how big you can make your opportunity grow!!!
