The Master Prospector<\/h2>\n

1. A Master Prospector always applies what he knows and puts it into action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will never know if you\u2019ve really learned something, unless you\u2019ve applied it. Learning is not about acquiring as much information as possible. It\u2019s about taking that information and putting it into action so that you can see and experience massive results. That\u2019s the true essence of learning!<\/p>\n

If you think back on your experiences as a student, whether in grade school, middle or high school, you\u2019ll recall all the test that you were forced to take by your teachers.\u00a0 Although you may have considered test taking to be torture, it was actually an accountability assessment to determine if you\u2019ve retained and comprehended the information enough to be able to apply it.<\/p>\n

The same goes with network marketing<\/a>. Your up-line is considered your \u201cteachers\u201d, and they give you different types of tests to help you put your knowledge into action. It\u2019s great and wonderful to be on all the calls and attend all the meetings, but these aren\u2019t for \u201cinspiration and motivation\u201d alone, they\u2019re designed to equip you to go out into the field and put your knowledge to work in a real life setting.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about always doing the right things. Committing mistakes is part of the learning process. All you have to do is be concerned about learning from the things that you have done, and be intentional about improving along the way.<\/p>\n

Remember: there is no failure, only feedback.<\/p>\n

2. A Master Prospector knows how to build valuable and lasting relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every relationship is built on trust. If you want to start valuable and lasting relationships with your prospects, get them to trust you first. Let them know that you can help. Gain their confidence by feeling their needs, teaching them the basics of the trade, and providing them all the support that you can give.<\/p>\n

Always keep in mind that network marketing is about building a relationship of trust. The more people that you\u2019ve established quality relationships with, the more people will be willing to be your partners and do great things for you in return.<\/p>\n

3. A Master Prospector knows how to become a student.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every master was once a student. Before you become a master prospector, you have to be a student first. Learn from your up-line\u2014your \u201cmasters\u201d in the industry. Study their techniques and strategies; work near them and let them guide you; allow them to criticize you and recommend a better approach. Get educated and take action on what you have learned.<\/p>\n

4. A Master Prospector knows the importance of Time Leverage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time is of the essence. Use it wisely and get productive as much as you can. Look for many possible ways to leverage your time. Create an organized schedule and follow it strictly. Duplicate your time by building a strong and solid network.<\/p>\n

5. A Master Prospector recognizes the power of technology and uses it to his advantage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it, technology dominates!! So if you want to penetrate a wider market and reach as many prospects as you can, start taking advantage of technology.<\/p>\n

Start sending invites and e-mail blasts; join social networking sites; place online ads; participate in group discussions and forums; learn Internet marketing. The opportunities the Internet offers is virtually unlimited. All you have to do is get the most out of it.<\/p>\n

Not only will this method allow you to attract an immense market base, it can also help you build businesses around the world.<\/p>\n

6. A Master Prospector knows how to convey a message\u2014the right way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best way to convey a message to your prospects is to deliver it clearly and accurately. Give emphasis to the parts that need to be highlighted, and avoid giving t.m.i. (too much information) that is bound to overwhelm them.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t rush\u2014there\u2019s no need to hurry. If you\u2019re looking to recruit your prospects into long-time partners, you have to tell them everything they need to know. So allow them to ask their questions, listen intently and answer them adequately.<\/p>\n

Feed them with sufficient information that will influence them to join you in your endeavor. Just avoid overwhelming them with unnecessary details. Doing so can confuse and bore your prospects.<\/p>\n

7. A Master Prospector handles rejection well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you join a network marketing business and start prospecting, you\u2019ll face a lot of rejection\u2014most of it coming from your closest circle, family and friends.<\/p>\n

There are four major enemies to prospecting: Rejection, Deception, Apathy, and Attrition and in the network marketing industry, it is very common to experience this:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou introduced the company to 1000 people. Out of which, 700 said no and only 300 signed up. Out of those 300, only 90 did anything at all. Out of those 90 only 40 were serious, and out of those 40, only 10 will be with you all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seems disappointing, right?\u00a0 However, it\u2019s actually to your benefit to have such statistics.\u00a0 This allows you to weed out the go-getters from the tire kickers, and when you\u2019re dealing with \u201cfocused\u201d people, success comes at a much more rapid pace.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always learned that success is sweeter when it doesn\u2019t come easy. And in this industry, the greater the pain you have experienced, the greater the pleasure you will soon enjoy, if you can press through it all with your vision at the forefront. Remember, the value of something is relative to the difficulty of obtaining it.<\/p>\n

Rejection happens to even the most skilled network marketers. Don\u2019t take it personally. Instead, use it as your motivation and allow it to shape you into becoming a master prospector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
