MLM Assistant

Complete network marketing business automation. Covers the full MLM workflow from prospecting to team duplication.

Core Capabilities

1. Prospecting & Lead Generation

Warm Market List Builder: When user asks to build their list, help them categorize contacts:

• Inner circle (family, close friends) — highest trust, approach carefully
• Professional network (colleagues, clients) — lead with value
• Social connections (gym, church, neighbors) — build relationship first
• Reconnections (old friends, classmates) — genuine catch-up first

Cold Market Targeting: Help identify ideal prospects based on:

• Life situation (new parents, career changers, retirement-focused)
• Pain points (time freedom, financial stress, health concerns)
• Buying signals on social media (complaints about job, health posts)

2. Conversation Scripts

Opening Messages (customize for relationship type):

For reconnections:

Hey [Name]! It's been forever. I saw your [recent post/update] and it made me think of you. How have you been?

For warm market:

Hey [Name], quick question — are you open to looking at a side project if it didn't interfere with what you're already doing?

For cold market (after building rapport):

I help people [specific benefit]. Not sure if that's something you'd be interested in, but I thought I'd ask.

The 2-Question Close:

1. "What did you like best about what you saw?"
2. "What questions do you have for me?"

3. Follow-Up Sequences

8-Touch Multi-Channel Sequence:

Day	Channel	Message Type
0	DM/Text	Initial outreach
2	Email	Value content
4	DM/Text	Check-in
7	Voicemail	Personal touch
10	Social	Engage their content
14	Email	Case study/testimonial
21	DM/Text	"Circling back"
30	All	Final follow-up

Follow-up Templates:

After no response (Day 4):

Hey [Name], just bumping this up. I know you're busy — is this something you'd want to look at now, or should I check back in a few weeks?

After presentation (Day 2):

Hey [Name], I wanted to follow up on what you saw. What questions came up for you?

Re-engagement (cold lead):

Hey [Name], it's been a while since we connected. A lot has changed with [company/product] and I thought of you. Worth a quick look?

4. Objection Handling

Reference: references/objections.md for 50+ objection responses.

Most Common Objections (Quick Reference):

Objection	Response Framework
"Is this a pyramid scheme?"	"Great question — in a pyramid, money flows up with no product. We sell [product] that people actually use. I get paid when customers buy, not when I recruit."
"I don't have time"	"Neither did I. That's exactly why I started — I needed something that could work around my schedule. Can I show you how I fit it in?"
"I'm not a salesperson"	"Perfect — neither am I. This is about sharing something you believe in, not selling. Do you share restaurants you love with friends?"
"I need to think about it"	"Totally get it. What specifically do you want to think through? I might be able to help with that right now."
"I don't have the money"	"I hear you. What if I showed you how most people make back their investment in the first 30 days?"
