Nurturing your contact list
by Janet Legere

Are you nurturing your contact list or scaring your prospects away?

Let's say you just acquired a large targeted list of prospects and you are getting ready to market your opportunity or program to them.

You want to send a powerful sales letter to them in anticipation they will join your program.

What will you say? Will you tell them they will make hundreds, thousands or even millions of dollars if they join you today?

Will they join you?

Well, they just might. But chances are that if they are not making their thousands or at least hundreds right away, they will soon leave and head on to the next promise of riches!

Why not try dropping the 'sales' letter idea as your initial email and try something a little different instead.

I offer an alternative to the heavy Sales Letter. Nurturing your new contacts is a key step to your long term Business success.

Sure, you can sign up hundreds of members in the hopes that some will 'stick' OR, you can do some upfront homework and find those individuals who are serious about building a business and appreciate the importance of building for long term success.

So, how do you do this?

It's fairly simple, really. Begin by asking your prospects questions. Here are some examples:

• Do you have goals?
• What are your business goals?
• Are you serious about your long term business success?
• How much time do you have to invest in your business success?
• Do you have any related experience?
• How would you rate your computer experience? (Newbie, Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert)
• How would you rate your internet experience? (Newbie, Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert) 
• Do you currently have an active contact list?

These are the types of questions you can ask of  your potential prospects. 

I suggest using one or two questions as your initial follow-up in your opening email to them. Your goal should be to elicit a response so that you can begin that important dialogue with your prospects.

You will begin to build a strong team of like-minded individuals helping to build your successful business!

Talk to your prospects. Tell them about yourself, your experience and your own business goals. Share with them why it is you chose to do what you do!

Reach out to your contacts and they WILL reach back! After all, nurturing your contacts is good for your business.

Here's to your continued growth and success!
