Working MLM genealogy leads can be an effective method of building your network marketing business. This is because one of the biggest hurdles that you face in recruiting has already been overcome for you; getting the prospect to buy into network marketing as a legitimate business model. All because of your MLM genealogy leads.
However, it is common knowledge that MLM genealogy leads is far from perfect. The person you call on a genealogy list may be very happy with their current opportunity and not open to looking at anything.
They could be a wholesale customer or not working the business. They could be inactive and may even be out of the industry altogether.
One of the biggest threats to working MLM genealogy leads is the Do-Not-Call Registry. Recently, the number of phone numbers registered under Do-Not-Call Registry surpassed 100 million. That number is significant, because the Registry has only been in operation for over two years.
Apparently, these people are getting wiser into the kind of marketing being offered everyday. Some of the opinions based on generalizations and experience may be.
One study run over 100,000 MLM genealogy leads through the DNC scrubbing process. It was found out that approximately one-third of the people on the list were on the Do-Not-Call Registry.
In the North Eastern states, that number even reached up to over 50%.
If you are planning to call MLM genealogy leads, protect yourself by having your list scrubbed against the Do-Not-Call Registry. Many companies are already providing this service. Just make sure that you are dealing with a reputable one.
Even with these downsides, there are still plenty of reasons to work MLM genealogy leads. They are very inexpensive when compared to most MLM lead sources. If you happen to land a big player, it can be the best thing that could ever happen to your business.

Glad you posted this, Ty. I covered this on my blog sometime back...
MLM genealogy leads are basically the names of people from an MLM company that's no longer in business.
They can be acquired through contacts within the MLM company that dissolved, or a list can be purchased from a third party company. Basically, they're "harvested" leads.
And because of how they're "harvested," and because they DIDN'T actually request to hear from anyone specifically, I suggest staying far away from them. And here's why...
ASIDE from the Do-Not-Call Registry, some states have just recently passed their own Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) laws.
Sending an Unsolicited Commercial Email FROM one of those states, or TO A RESIDENT of one of those states is now illegal. Penalties include fines and even jail time, in some cases.
And if you're calling them by phone (whether talking live or leaving a recording) then you're really taking a risk, as calling someone on the DNC list is also illegal, and carries fines of up to $11,000 per violation.
So my question is, even if you DO get some results, why on earth would you choose to do anything in your business that's illegal???
