There is a way for you to keep your MLM business a “secret” and still find new prospects for it daily.
When a new rep starts in a MLM business, he or she is usually brimming over with hope and enthusiasm. And why not? Fortunes have been made in MLM, and MLM companies are being endorsed by financial celebrities Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. They even devoted a full chapter of their book Why We Want You To Be Rich to network marketing. No other business category was so honored.
Every new rep learns from their company sponsors and leaders. They learn how to market the products and the business opportunity, and traditionally that marketing education focuses on one-to-one marketing techniques. Typical training sessions for new MLM reps include making lists of friends and family and rehearsing telephone scripts for calling those “warm market” people.
Other techniques are introduced for finding “cold market” leads. These include making telephone calls to complete strangers, blanketing the windshields of cars with obnoxious advertisements, collecting business cards, mailing postcards, and generally participating in desperate acts called “the three foot rule” which involves trying to engage anyone within three feet in a pseudo-friendly conversation.
If a new MLM rep is earnest, he or she tries every technique presented by the company. However, a strange twist of averages usually steps in and crushes the rep with unexpected rejection before any real success is achieved.
Rejection is the culprit which hits new MLM reps the hardest. Mindset training is often lacking in the company’s arsenal of sales tricks.
So, If you are a MLM rep, let me ask you this:
“When your friends and family see you coming, do they feel sorry for you? Or do they try to avoid you, wondering ‘What are you going to try to sell me now?’”
I have had those experiences. It got so bad that one long-time “friend” had a meltdown and broke off our friendship! Honestly– I wasn’t being pushy. That’s not my nature. This guy just maybe wanted an excuse to be mad at me… but my business presentation triggered his bad behavior.
That’s all behind me now.
I want to let you in on something I discovered. It’s a prospecting technique that my upline didn’t know about, but internet marketers have known and used for years.
This is a little-known fact, and most MLM leaders don’t have a clue:
There is a way for you to keep your MLM business a “secret” and still find new prospects for it daily.
Here’s the trick: Just shut up about it, and learn how to market it on the internet.
