I first heard the phrase 'Funded Proposals' from my buddy Joe Schroeder back in 1996 shortly after we introduced our 'Confessions of a Network Marketing Millionaire' training program.

What is a funded proposal?

Network Marketing Distributors are notorious for getting into 'mine is better than yours' debates. This ultimately is a total waste of time, and accomplishes nothing.

With a funded proposal you offer a high quality business tool or product for the market on the front end, instead of your opportunity. When people purchase the product they then go on your data base list, and you can introduce them to your opportunity at a later date.

This type of marketing allows you to develop a valuable relationship on the front end, and down the road some of these customers may decide to evaluate your opportunity.

Mike Dillard operates a very successful funded proposal system and he calls this concept becoming the hunted instead of hunting.

When we introduced our Confessions program, we supplied our downline members with postcards, direct mail letters, space ads, classified ads, everything they needed to promote the program.

Each of our members had the opportunity to earn a $25.00 commission on every course sold. By promoting the generic training program instead of the opportunity they were able to actually make money, while prospecting for the business opportunity.

Let's face it, distributors who buy generic training, are the exact type of people you want on your team, The fact that they are willing to spend money, to grow, learn and develop says a lot about how serious they are about becoming successful in their business.

I am shocked at more mlm heavy hitters don't use Funded Prosposals as part of their marketing campaigns. When you think about it, in today's world where most distributors are spending money for mlm leads, it doesn't get much better than making money while identifying quality prospect for your team. That is exactly what you can do if you implement the funded proposals concept into your overall marketing strategy.

Contact some of the top MLM distributors and tell them you would like to purchase their book, or training programs in bulk. Develop and effective postcard and or website and test this method. I know you will be pleasantly surprised at the positive results it provides your business.
