A network strategy that puts 42 reps in my business in 16 weeks
At first it was easy to be patient. I knew there was going to be a learning curve to get through, but I was determined to figure it out and get rich so I would never have to answer to a boss again. A home business was going to be my ticket to freedom, from a world of chump change.
I signed onto a networking opportunity, that had everything in place after looking at a handful of others. I soon realized how much of a different, incredible world this really is. I kept trying to grasp on to my business, and every time I thought I was going to get a hand on it, I once again realized I had no control.
Ten, eleven months went by with but nothing was happening. I was using every traffic generating device thrown my way. My message was sent to a trillion gazillion opportunity seekers with every click of the mouse. And that was he problem, all those opportunity seekers relying on the click of a mouse.
My business was in my opinion at least in the top ten. But my thoughts of success and prospering were getting foggy. As great as this industry is, my business was flat lining. I figured I wasn’t catching on to the skills or something, and maybe I needed to work harder and longer to sponsor and make sales.
While looking through an ezine one day. I came across something interesting and would have liked to have found this sooner, that went. “You will be more successful if you can create a pumped up emotion in someone about your opportunity. If you have these persuasive skills, your sales will be greater and you will sponsor a lot more.
But once that emotional state wears off, whether it’s a week or months later, the buyer will experience remorse. These people quit and go back to their lives, and unfortunately this is what happens most of the time in this home business arena”. And this is what was happening to me.
I was thrown off by this article because it went on to say, “Within the sponsoring process, the goal is not to sell our prospects on a product or opportunity”. That sounds completely backwards and counter productive doesn’t it? After all, what’s the point if you’re not there to make a sale right?
It all started clicking in my mind, I was realizing something. There’s to many problems in this industry with selling. It stems from the initial offering of the opportunity. There’s so much focus for the new rep to go by the script and make the sale.
Were going head to head with objections, trying to close the deal. Peoples natural instincts are that of not being sold, it’s like were fighting a ton of little battles. Prospects have no trust, and are afraid of getting ripped off. That was a good day for me. I found a better way for the customer, the possible new distributor. Including yours truly.
This is something every entrepreneur should take a look at. Prospects will actually be drawn to you. This has brought my business full steam ahead in a matter of weeks not months. Just what I needed before it was to late because I was giving up on my business.
