Hello hello,
A lot of people get excited over network marketing because their
looking to make money and the leverage of the business model
makes great sense.
If your not in that boat I would like you to compare it to that of
a brick and mortar business or traditional employee.
The downfall in most network marketing opportunities is the marketing
system. Most companies tell their distributors to make a list of friends
and family and buy leads to cold call.
Sound familiar and or exciting…?
If you have ever tired this I am sure you can attest to the success it
achieves… Not!
The reasons for this are simple.
1) For starters most of your friends and family are not entrepreneurial minded.
2) People like to Buy but they do not like to be sold.
So then how do you go about recruiting people into your business…?
Become the hunted not the hunter!
There is know shortage of people looking to join your business. In fact over 70 000
Americans alone start a home business every day.
Learn how to attract people to you through attraction marketing and watch your leads,
prospects and team members grow.
***Some quick tips to help you out and they stem from the saying “Less is More.”
- Do Not tell people or talk to people about your network marketing business unless
they ask.
- Do Not throw-up on people with information about your business.
- Do Not get into answering tons of questions, your system should be able to do that
for you, point people in the right direction – make them work a bit, this is a business they
are after ![]()
- Do Not hype, smart people are immune to hype and those that buy into it you do not
want on your team.
- Gain the sixth sense to know when your dealing with someone who wants to change
there life or someone that wants to waste your time. This will come through experience
but will ultimately be your best skill.
- Lastly relate to people on a non-business level, that why they call it “Networking.”
