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:
- "What did you like best about what you saw?"
- "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?" |
