The secret to success...don't talk about your business, don't even mention it. I know it's a wonderful program, but prospects are not interested in a wonderful program.

Stop 'advertising' your business.

Your replicated company website means nothing to prospects. Even if it shows beaches, or mansions, or luxury cars, or happy families, or people on vacation, it means nothing to prospects.

Sure, you will get a signup now and then from your company website. You'll get a sign up now and then from a headline that screams “Make Six Figures Within 90 Days”. But you can't build a business with sign ups like that.

Even if your company is built around truly noble humanitarian aid, prospects do not care. They will not join your business. Again, sure you'll get a few sign ups, but you'll never get enough to build a long term business.

To build a long term business, you need to be sponsoring 5 to 10 new people every month, and they each need to be doing the same thing.

How do you accomplish that?

#1 Top Priority – Have I mentioned stop 'advertising' your business?

Let's look at our prospects...

What is it they really want?

Our prospects are looking for a change of some kind in their life.

For example, there are 9,140,000 Google world-wide searches every month for 'how do I get out of debt'.

Do you think you could find people on social media sites who want to get out of debt? You can find thousands of them.

On many social media sites, you can even do a search for 'get out of debt'...and people who are talking about wanting to get out of debt will come up.

Simply start a conversation with them. Most of us have been in more debt than we were comfortable with. If you have, tell them you know how they feel, maybe relate a little bit about your experience. Ask them what they have been doing to solve the problem.

Eventually, the conversation will come to the point where you say that you know of something that has helped thousands of people get out of debt for good. You then tell them you would be happy to send some information if they'd like.

If the prospect says yes, he/she would like the information...DO NOT send your link yet, it's too soon...send them some testimonials, or a little scenario describing your experience, or the experience of a friend.

The prospect may then want more testimonials, or information about the company itself. Simply keep the conversation going, send the prospect what they ask for. This may take a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks. Let the prospect go at his/her own pace.

Eventually, when the prospect says, I'm ready to join...send your link...but not until then.

As time goes on, you may be carrying on conversations with as many as 25 people, or more. I can assure you, when you get to that point, you will be building a business.

Good information Steve. Prospecting has always been my weakest area & I appreciate you sharing it with us!
 
Ron Kaiser   433 day(s) ago
Great post Steve. I know in my opportunity they tell you not to mention the company in the beginning. If you do, you've lost that prospect. At first, you have to posture yourself in a way to help them with their problem before mentioning any company to them and then only if they request it1 You will build a much stronger team that way. Keep up the good work Steve!

WOW! Steve - 9,140,000 people search world-wide on how do I get out of debt? This is proof that there is truly enough to go around.

Awesome insight Steve. I share the same view. I keep telling people if you are getting rejected or receiving objections, it is your fault (your approach). Most will see different results quickly if they follow what you have outlined. Thanks again

Good article Steve. Contrary to popular belief, people don't join businesses, people join people. If you come across as a trustworthy source, more than likely people will want to business with you. And your main goal should be new signups every month as you said, not just talking but executing.

Know like and trust, it's that simple. You can't be in business with someone you haven't taken the time to have a relationship with. The more relationships you have means you will have partners or customers. Either way it will be win win for the both of you. ~Terri Pattio - MLM Coach/Mentor with a servant's heart
