Phone Prospecting good tool or not
Facing strangers, which is the life blood of a network marketing business is often the challenge that stops multi-level marketing success and the business ends up in the graveyard of business “wantta bes’”.
It’s not a secret that the failure of most network marketing businesses is not due to the program, the products or the company, but simply because the distributor or representative simply does not talk to enough people to share the goods, opportunity or service and what benefits and value there is to the person or persons that could benefit from them.But there are others ways to peak the curiosity of an individual.
Phone Prospecting which can be very time consuming and questions could be answered in a training video or a webinar.
Tips to increase your success.
Step 1. You have to peak interest –
This can be done passively or actively.
For example, passive could be wearing a T-shirt, or something that creates a provocative thought or question in the viewers mind. One such example would be a T-shirt that says
“Guaranteed Cash deposited in your bank account every Tuesday!
Ask me how!! “
This is a completely passive way of creating interest your what you are offering…
It provokes curiosity and gets strangers to talk to you. Once they ask the question the door is wide open for you to talk to them and tell them all about your product or your offer.
They’ve given you permission.
The rest is up to you. Use your imagination. I’ll bet you will come up with several ways you could peak interest and have someone open the door for you to talk to them just by using passive ways to spark interest and conversation.
Step 2: Get Clarification.
If you are doing passive, you repeat back what is on your button or shirt, etc.
So, for example when they ask about the wording on the T-shirt you might say, “just outta curious, what would extra money in the bank do for you?”
This can uncover problems that a person is facing. You can then show them how your marketing opportunity could help solve that challenge.
- This is key AND it takes the pressure off of you.
- Listen to them and then respond accordingly.
Point them to a tool that can help them easily reach a decision to give the opportunity you present to them a chance by becoming involved.
This could be an online webinar, a video that you’ve archived or something similar.
Talking to strangers is a necessary part of any successful network marketing business.
Its about the way you do it not, should you do it.
