There Are Too Many Who WANT It!
| Category: Networking(MLM) | Date: 2002-05-02 |
If youve been involved in Network Marketing or MLM for any length of time, youve seen it. As your team begins to grow, there always seems to be one "prospect" (and I use the term loosely) that everyone on your team is trying to "get in". It actually turns into a game of sorts. One team member gets an appointment with "Prospect" and is stood up. Another is promised, "If I get in, it will be with you." Yet another is told, "I want to look at this for you." The result of all of this is broken promises, angry team members and a frustrated upline!
Facts:
1. The more you nag, the more you decrease the value of your opportunity in your "prospects" eyes. If they do finally get involved, what will they do in the business? Probably, nothing!
2. Chasing a "prospect" will stagnate your business. You spend your time so focused on someone who wants to play games, that you dont have time to focus on good, qualified prospects. It also gives the "prospect" the impression you NEED them to assure your own success. Do you want someone with a "You need me" attitude on your team?
3. If the "prospect" is making appointments and not keeping them it shows you (and your upline in a 2 on 1 system) a complete lack of respect. Do you really want to work with someone who doesnt respect you enough to honor a commitment to you?
4. If the "prospect" isnt committed enough to themselves to keep an appointment with you, they wont be committed enough to work for themselves if they do "get in". Do you really want to do all the work in order for this person to succeed?
5. The "prospect" may be enjoying all the attention theyre getting. If thats the case, youre being used. Wise up! If you DO get this person in business with you, theyll KEEP using you to stroke their ego. Its not about egos here...Its about teamwork!
There are plenty of people out there who:
1. Are looking for a business that will offer them above average income with some work on their part.
2. Will keep appointments because they understand the value of your time (and theirs)!
3. Are committed enough to changing their future, that they will give your business a serious evaluation.
4. Wont play games.
5. WANT a business...maybe yours!
MY POINT: Dont let one "prospect" who is "playing the game" shift your focus and derail your business. Will your business fail if you dont "get" so and so? If you answered "Yes" to that one, you might want to take another look at whether Network Marketing is REALLY for you. YOU are the ONLY one who determines YOUR success!
