Are you going to (buy, join) and start (getting benefits) or are you going to (keep sitting on the fence and waiting, turn away and regret it, look back in regret, watch other people (get benefits)?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It can even be as simple as saying: \u201c\u2026it\u2019s like getting on a roller coaster for the first time\u2026 y\u2019know?\u00a0 It looks scary and dangerous at first, but then afterwards you\u2019re glad you just did it, and it turned out to be a blast, right?\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course this is a <span>guideline<\/span> and you should adapt it naturally into your conversation.\u00a0 Don\u2019t make it complicated!\u00a0 My advice is to just learn it\u2026 and when the time is right it will just flow out of your mouth in your own style!<\/p>\n<h2><span>Here\u2019s My Costa Rica Mastermind Success Story<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m seeing some success in my MLM using a cool facebook strategy that got someone to send me a message requesting that I call them about the results I\u2019m getting from the product I\u2019m using\/promoting (<a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/about\/\">using this blog<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>I called her and we spoke for a while, and I didn\u2019t talk about my products or company.\u00a0 I talked about her, how\u2019s her life, her family, and she was really nice but pretty soon she demanded that I tell her about this product.<\/p>\n<p>So I just gave her some very simple information about what the product does (benefit) and then asked her some questions about what her goals are.\u00a0 After telling me what her goals were I said ok well most of our customers report experiencing (benefits) and then I followed up with my personal testimonial.<\/p>\n<p>She responded with what\u2019s known as a \u201creflex objection\u201d (the most common one is \u201cI\u2019m just looking\u201d).\u00a0 She said \u201cWell I\u2019ll take a look at it\u2026 I\u2019ve tried (similar commercially available products) before and I don\u2019t get the results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At that point, any convincing that I try to do will result in resistance so I immediately asked her about what she did before that didn\u2019t work.  I immediately remembered what I had learned in the Costa Rica Mastermind and began to formulate a response.<\/p>\n<p>After she talked I said \u201cWell \u2018Jane\u2019 I know you\u2019re not sure about the product\u2026 and that\u2019s ok\u2026 there are a lot of claims out there and unfortunately some people lie\u2026 you know what \u2013 it reminds me of the time when I joined the Air Force, believe it or not\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I was sitting there, still in high school, with no college and nothing but a job at a pizza place\u2026 and I was sitting there at the recruiter\u2019s office\u2026 thinking about joining up but I was completely terrified!<\/p>\n<p>I had looked it over 10,000 times and I was sure that this was the best decision\u2026 at least in my mind it sounded good but wow I had a ton of fears\u2026 I didn\u2019t know if the drill sergeant was going to scream my head off and make me clean up the mess or if I was going to get shipped off to some miserable place or what!!\u00a0 I heard some horror stories\u2026<\/p>\n<p>And when you\u2019re about to make a tough decision like that, it\u2019s ok to be afraid\u2026 I mean, your life\u2019s about to change and you think it\u2019s going to be better and you want it to be better, but you just don\u2019t know until you make that decision and go with it\u2026<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s what I did!\u00a0 I signed the papers and you know what happened?<\/p>\n<p>I felt so incredibly empowered that I made that choice\u2026 and the recruiter stood up with a proud look in his eye and shook my hand and welcomed me in.\u00a0 It was such a liberating experience!<\/p>\n<p>And she said \u201cwow\u201d.\u00a0 She was into the story and was relating \u2013 because she probably watched \u201cFull Metal Jacket\u201d at one point in life, and although the Vietnam era Marine Corps is nothing like the late 90\u2032s Air Force, people outside of the armed services tend to group it all into one broad \u201cArmy\u201d category.<\/p>\n<p>Then I continued in a joking way with \u2013 \u201cNow \u2018Jane\u2019, buying (product) is not as risky as joining the military\u2026\u201d and she laughed\u2026 and I said so here\u2019s what I want you to do\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to send you my link so you can look at everything and watch the videos just to see what it\u2019s all about.\u00a0 Start out with the (recommended product) and try it out.\u00a0 If it doesn\u2019t work for you, I will make sure we get you a refund\u2026 and I know you don\u2019t want to have to do that but trust me you won\u2019t need to go there after you start feeling (benefits).<\/p>\n<p>And what\u2019s even cooler, is that once you\u2019re seeing the results and other people who know you see your results, other people are going to want it too, and if I help you find just 3 people that want it and (buy products), then you get your products for free\u2026 now wouldn\u2019t that be cool?<\/p>\n<p>She said \u201cI can get them for free?\u201d which is now a buying question.\u00a0 She felt comfortable being herself and not the guard at the gate.\u00a0 I switched her fear of loss into hope for gain.\u00a0 I got her to picture herself experiencing the benefits and now she was dreaming.<\/p>\n<p>I closed and I said if you do that I will send out a free sample first thing in the morning and it will be there before your order arrives.\u00a0 She then gave me her address with no hesitation and said thank you.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t have to ask for the sale\u2026 I directed her to do it\u2026 and then followed up with a reward if she did it.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, she is now a customer and her products are on their way!\u00a0 More importantly, she can experience life-changing results because I helped her get what she wants.<\/p>\n<h3>The Costa Rica Mastermind Helps You Develop Money-Making Skills!<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re on the fence in your own life about whether or not this internet marketing thing
