It used to be that the most recommended ways to bring people into your business–either
customers or distributors–was face to face meetings or cold calling. Both of those
prospecting methods are still being used today. Thanks to the internet, there
are many other ways being used for lead prospecting. Skype is a great way to meet
people from all over the world and it is the focus of this article.
For those who may be living under a rock, Skype is a popular social media
platform that is free to download and use.
It offers many features and options to personalize to suit your needs. It is easy
to communicate on Skype using text messaging or talk in real time
using a headset/speakers and a mic. You can also use Skype
as you would a telephone to make calls around the world.
As mentioned in the opening paragraph, Skype is an effective Prospecting tool
to generate leads for your product or service. One of the first things you will be asked
to do when you are setting up your Skype account is to put together your profile, including
photo and link to your site. Be sure to take time to set this up, it will serve as an
intro to who you are and what you do.
There are two software programs designed specifically to be used with Skype.
Their purpose is to turn Skype into a powerful prospecting tool.
The first Prospecting tool is Mercury MaxIM. Just go to: http://www.mercurymaxim.ws.
for your free download. Mercury Max helps you build relationships with others on Skype.
It allows you to search contacts within the Skype network by
whatever criteria you choose, such as
location, type of business, interests and then add them to your list.
Using the software you can send text messages to your list.
Print the guides when you download the software and
be sure to follow the rules on Skype about spamming.
Message Magic is another software program similar to MercuryMaxIM, except
there is a cost to use it. Offering it to others is a way to generate
an additional income stream. Visit: http://www.messagemagic.net to learn more.
Using either software program with Skype is a powerful, non confrontational prospecting tool.
It enables you to meet others and to build relationships with those who qualify for
your time and interest
