Just a point of order. When RZ McCall is lighting cigars with $100 bills, at least we will know how he got there:
12,000 AGLOCO Referrals - Sounds Good to Me
I was of course thrilled to hit 12,000 so early in the year. My stated goal of 20,000 by the end of 2007 seems closer every time I post an increase (seemed like a bit of a stretch back on December 13th when I made the prediction).
Many people have asked – How did you get so many total referrals when you only have 82 direct people you recruited? I have been giving advice in many of my previous posts (click here to get the referral advice posts )
Today, I want to show the math of the 12,000 referrals as I see them.
Line 1 – My Direct recruits = 82
Since I know most of them and talk frequently to some of the more active ones for AGLOCO, I know something about this group.
Two of them have more than 1,000 people in their networks. A couple of them have more than 50 Direct recruits. And a few of them “still haven’t started”.
Line 2 – My Direct recruits’ Direct recruits – I am guessing around a 7 to 8 recruit average for a total of about 600 members on that line.
The next three lines are even more guesswork, but it is fun to think about how the set up looks and how can I make adjustments accordingly.
Line 3 – If the 600 second line members average 3 to 4 recruits each then this line is about 2,000. They are newer to the system and have not had as much time to get motivated etc.
Line 4 - If the third line members average just 2 to 3 recruits each then this line is about 5,000. They are even newer to the system this group represents a huge potential to me. If I can get this group to average the 7 to 8 that Line 2 appears to be doing then this group can supply 25,000 to 30,000 more people in my network.
Line 5 - If the third line members average just 1 recruit each then this line is about 5,000.
Final look (remember – just a guess)
Line #1 82
Line #2 600
Line #3 2,000
Line #4 5,000
Line #5 5,000
How do I leverage all this to exceed my goals?
I think my advice to myself would be the same to someone with 10 directs and only 100 total in their network.
First, over the next 6 months I am going to try to double my Directs (to 160). If the quality of the new recruits is as good as the original 80 then that effort alone should double my results.
Second and maybe more importantly, I am going to work with my Directs to get them to double their Directs (or in some cases just start recruiting). http://mccallsnotes.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9F2891B66EBAA762!427.entry
This effort includes giving them emails to send to people who have not yet signed up plus advice on how to get their Directs to recruit. Here is a link to the sample email I use for second attempts. http://mccallsnotes.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9F2891B66EBAA762!427.entry
The real “trick” to getting a huge referral network is getting your Directs motivated and then getting their Directs to do the same thing. This chain reaction can result in amazing results.
The key indeed. Next post will be about alot of other 'things' that some feel is prohibitive to getting people motivated at this time. Fair & Balanced, haha!
YEAH BABY
