Hold on. Back up. Prospecting is hard for most people. At least you thought so……..
Prospecting people is the only way to build a successful business………. ISNT IT????
Right now you are probably scratching your head and wondering what else is there!!
I have been taught by the best. If the guys on stage at the event said that they prospected so many people, showed so many plans and now they are the top earners.
WHY WOULD I WANT TO CHANGE THAT METHOD???
First let’s wonder back into the past of a guy who struggled so much with prospecting. He did everything his sponsor told him and listen to what happened…….
Yes that’s me.
What I want you to do is put yourself in my shoes for a couple of minutes and let’s look at your reality because chances are you went or either going through the same struggles that I did.
You’re pumped because you are starting a journey in a business that is sure to make you rich in 2-4 years. That’s what most compensation plans equal out to.
You are ready to get out there and make it happen.
You have seen the vision and you know it works because you have seen these people on stage for yourself, IN PERSON.
The next day you can’t wait to get off of work because your sponsor told you that you have to go out and meet people.
He/she even gave you some scripts that you can use.
You’re thinking in your head that when you get off that you are going to meet 5 people. You already made a decision to at least meet 5 people every day.
It’s time to get off and rush home. Get cleaned up and put on something business casual because you know appearance is everything.
You arrive at Wal-Mart because thats where everybody is shopping now and have been for years.
Now you can’t seem too obvious so you grab a shopping cart acting like you are going to buy some items but really you are going on a scavenger hunt.
You go up and down idles looking to see if you can find some sharp looking people.
YOU FOUND ONE. Your thinking, “Oh yes, he will defiantly want to do this.”
You start a conversation and he says he’s an attorney. In your mind your thinking that he will help grow your business really fast and get a lot of people to join him.
You end the conversation with. “Well I don’t know if you keep your options open at all but do you look for other ways to make extra income?”
He looks you in the eye.
You look back with a look of happiness because you already know he is going to say yes.
What happens next shocks the hell out of you.
NO I DON’T……..
You get this look like, “You moron.
You are disappointed but you don’t stop. You continue roaming around and get no after no after no.
That night when you go home and lay in your bed. You start doubting yourself.
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?
Do I want to do something where I am more likely to get disappointed every day because somebody said no to me.
So what happens after a while because of you doubting yourself and all these negative vibes start coming in.
YOU QUIT!!!
You see. If you are reading this. I know what it feels like to go out and try prospecting people and getting rejected.
IT HURTS.
IT DOESN’T FEEL GOOD.
IT DESTROYS YOUR MINDSET.
YOU START DOUBTING YOURSELF.
I got tired of that stuff
But……….
When I took the right action. Where I could learn how to attract people to me.
Where I could position myself to not be disappointed because nobody would say no to me again.
How could they if they were coming to me. They wanted what I had.
I DIDN’T HAVE TO CHASE THEM.
When you position yourself to be the fish in a pond and when somebody comes up to the side and pulls out their credit card, which is the bait.
They hook you because they hit that button below and said, “I want what that guy has. I want to be the guy that everybody wants.”
I want to change my life where I don’t have to be chasing people but just be in the pond swimming around having fun. Somebody comes along and wants me, want what I have.
Hooks me by pulling out their credit card and reals me in.
