Don’t be too clever if you want to win customers!

When I first started looking into Network Marketing I had to kiss a lot of expensive frogs.

I feel though, that my experiences are valuable to my team and to anyone else who wants to listen to me who is in, or thinking about joining a Network Marketing business. So with that in mind I am going to write a few vitally important tips that I believe will make a massive difference in the way you work with new prospects.

1. Don’t be too clever – one of the things that often went through my head when I was talking to prospective sponsors was…..
   “He sounds so much smarter than me; I’ll never be able to do that!”
   If you show too much expertise then your prospect will think that it is too big a mountain to climb. It is a natural instinct to doubt oneself.
   What your prospect wants is success and financial freedom and at this time it can be seen as a distant dream and hearing from someone who they believe has so many more skills than they have may make that dream too unbelievable.
2. Do ask for a phone number on your marketing pages. Let’s face it, if they are afraid to have a conversation with you on the telephone then how will they have the courage to pick up the phone to their own new prospects.
3. When you call prospects, don’t sell to them; find out if they are the type of people you would like to work with. Find out if they have the personality to actually make their business work. Listen to their story.
4. Tell them the truth, be honest and make it clear about what will be required from them.
5. It is important that you don’t make them feel that just anyone will do. Make them feel special!
6. Have the integrity to say “no” to them if you really believe that they will be wasting their money.
7. If they still want to sign with you then make sure that you allow more time to support them.
8. Of-course, you must let them know that you will help them but be honest that they will eventually have to stand on their own two feet. They will thank you for your honesty!
