The Best Tech Hacks to Grow Your Network Marketing Team This New Year

It’s almost the New Year, and you’re probably thinking about how to grow your network marketing team.

But maybe you’re not sure how to do it – maybe you’re feeling stuck, or like you’ve tried everything and still aren’t seeing results.

Many network marketers fear the tech side of their businesses, but tech CAN be made easier. These are our best network marketing tech hacks to help you grow your team in the new year.

The Fear of Tech in Network Marketing

A lot of network marketers hear the word tech and they freeze up. They end up halting their own progress because of these limiting beliefs around tech that they’ve put in their heads. 

A way to get over this fear is to ask questions. 

99% of people are more than willing to help and support you, whether they’re a part of your business, whether they’re part of your team or whether they’re part of a coaching community. Most people in our industry are very supportive. 

So ask the questions. There are no stupid questions. 

As well as this, you’ve got the power of the internet at your fingertips. 

We live in an age where you can look up absolutely everything. So if you don’t want to ask a question in a Facebook group or anywhere else, go ahead and Google it. 

You’ll come across an article or you’ll come across a video that will coach you through that problem you are having. Knowledge is power, and that knowledge is there for you to go and find. 

Tech can be challenging in network marketing, it can be overwhelming if you allow it to be overwhelming, but when it comes to overwhelm in general, the best thing that you can do is take action. 

Network Marketing Tech Hack 1: Password Managers

The biggest tip that we give to people is always around passwords. 

We live in an age where we should have a thousand different passwords for different things. 

If you are somebody out there who’s got the same password for everything, please go and change them. 

The reason you may set the same password to everything is because it’s really difficult to remember what you set the password as. When you’ve got hundreds of different websites and services that you access, it is really tempting to use the same password. 

But the security around that is terrifying and getting worse and worse every year. So the solution to this is to use something called a password manager. 

A password manager’s job is to store all of your passwords in a central secure vault. You can put in one password to access the vault, and then it will do the heavy lifting of keeping everything else secure and in a place where you can access it. 

If you have got a network marketing business on a larger scale, you will have thousands of passwords for various things. So those passwords are all random numbers and letters and symbols. You would have no chance trying to remember those in your head. 

Therefore you will need to rely heavily on a password manager.

Network Marketing Tech Hack 2: Simple Funnels

The whole idea of tech is to make your life simpler and to give you pieces of automation that you can go to bed on a night and your business will continue to run when you’re not sat in front of a screen. 

A funnel is a system where you take somebody by the hand and walk them through the steps that you want to take them. This is so you can get them to your goal at the end, whether that be joining your network marketing team or buying your products or services.

So you work out what process you want them to go through first and you generally start by offering them something of value which is normally referred to as a lead magnet. 

The function of that step is to collect a piece of information from them. That piece of information is generally the email address. 

And the idea there is that once you’ve got their email address, you can continue to communicate with them whether they buy something now or whether they drop out. You can have that information they’ve given you in exchange for something valuable which will be useful to them. 

So when this concept was first introduced to us, we were growing our businesses traditionally. We were having to call and reach out to every single person, one at a time. It would take us months of following up with one person to just get a no. 

We were then introduced to the concept of funnels. Putting some of these simple processes in place helped us build an email list. 

By building up our email list we were able to follow up with hundreds, if not thousands of people at once! 

It’s how we compress time. 

We add a few pieces of automation to where we’re following up building relationships with thousands of people at once.

There are even simpler funnels, like a Facebook group. 

One of the things Facebook allows you to do in a group is to set up some joining questions. So you join a group and there’s a set of questions that you have to answer before you actually get access. 

Well, it’s very easy there to ask somebody for their email address, as well as the other questions. And then it’s simply a case of placing that into a Google sheet.

So when you have automation that helps build the influence and helps build the network for you, all the heavy lifting is done by the tech, and that’s when your business becomes fun because you’re actually making money. Your team’s actually growing. 

A great tool for automation is LeadMagicX. 

LeadMagicX allows you to automate some of your Facebook messaging by creating your own funnels.

Build simple funnels in the system that can then send out messages automatically for you, done in a Facebook compliant and a non-spammy way.

You will set up your messages or set up some simple message templates and then the software will take care of the rest of it for you. Tell it who you want it to send to, and it will just work down that list whilst you go off and do something else.

Network Marketing Tech Hack 3: Protecting Your Assets

One thing that we learned about social media platforms was that if we didn’t own it, there was always a chance of it being taken away. 

Social media platforms change every day!

So you need to make sure that you are protecting our own assets. 

One of the best ways to do this is by collecting email addresses. If you are then storing them somewhere on your computer then if Facebook vanished overnight, you’ll still have a list of email addresses. You could then send an email to everybody on that list to tell them you are moving onto a new platform.

Or you can get a little bit more advanced and you can put them into what’s called an autoresponder. 

So that’s an email marketing software. But it doesn’t have to be super complex. The great thing about email marketing softwares and autoresponders is that you can put all the email addresses in there and then you can send mass emails to everybody on that list. 

The network marketing industry is also always changing. Companies come and go every single day! Whether they change ownership, go from public to private, they change compensation plans. Some get shut down, others go out of business. 

The industry itself is always changing. 

And if you have spent all of your time promoting your company and not collecting people’s information, what happens if your company is to be shut down tomorrow?

Maybe you’re changing directions, maybe the company changes compensation plan, and your check was cut in half overnight. And so you’re moving to a new company, it’s so much easier to be able to tell people what you’re doing in through one email than to try and reach out to people one at a time and have those one-on-one conversations. 

If you want to be able to guarantee your success and guarantee your income in the industry when you’re using social media, you need to be collecting people’s email addresses.

Your network marketing business is not your opportunity. 

Your business is you. 

If you don’t have an auto responder or if you’re not building that email list, the easiest way to learn how to start leveraging some of these strategies for yourself to go to the Beach Boss Influencers website and check out our homepage.
