Have Fun in Prospecting

The best way to have fun in growing your network marketing business is to simply be yourself. This industry is packed with top-earners who constantly use hype and rah-rah to get you to build toward your dream. But one of the reasons that so many people leave network marketing soon after they join is because they are not comfortable with the hype. It's simply not who they are.

My sponsor (and top-earner in my company) wrote a simple little book that explains the simple, fun process to building your business. I have been using it and it works like a charm.

In the first part of the book he says:

"You already possess all that you need to succeed at the highest levels of network marketing. You are unique. You have your own set of natural talents, gifts, passions, and inclinations. You also have your own set of experiences and knowledge that you have accumulated in life. Becoming the best YOU possible is all that is required. You do not need a specific set of skills, training, education, upbringing, or anything else for that matter. You already have all you need to begin, and you can learn the rest as you go."

I have only been with my current company for about a month even though I have used the products for years. They are amazing! 

But before I joined this company I joined another health and wellness at the request of a friend who is successful in everything he does. He wields a lot of influence and I thought, "Well, if Howard joined, then it must be a good company." 

I spent over $500 to join Howard's company (my current company has no sign-up fees). Then I went to the first training. The training involved calling a friend, pretending I was in a hurry as though I was running to a meeting, and asking them to watch a 20-minute video. Then I was to call them later to see what they thought. 

I knew immediately that this company wasn't for me and I regretted spending the $500. 

Yes I know, it was totally my fault and I should have done more homework before jumping in. But I have known Howard for 15 years and he has been successful in every business endeavor. His influence compelled me.

But it just isn't my style to call a friend, pretend I'm in a hurry, and ask them to watch a video (which was full of hype by the way). 

I tried to talk myself into making the calls but I just couldn't do it. 

If I am going to do this I want it to be fun and something that matches my personality. 

So, I quit. 

But I immediately called my current sponsor who I have also known for years. As I said, I have been using his company's products for years so why wouldn't I join his team? It was easier and I already knew the products, and I would get training from the top-earner in the company for the last 30 years.

So, here's how to have fun in prospecting ...

Be Yourself. Don't try to be anything other than who you are and what you are comfortable with. 

Re-read the section of the book I quoted above. It reminds us that we have spent a lifetime becoming who we are. Why would we want to try to be anything other than what and who we are? 

I have made some sales and have had one person join my team in the last 30 days by simply being myself and showing interest in the people I talk to. I try to serve them by introducing them to products that will increase their chances of living with more health and wellness. 

I'm not pushy. I don't pressure them. I just talk to them and listen. 

Being yourself and giving yourself permission to do what you're comfortable doing makes building your business so much easier and a LOT more fun. 

I hope this helps.

P.S. I am currently deep into the initial growth stage of “Project Next.” I am looking for people to join me in this project. A health and wellness company that has been amazingly successful in Europe is now focused on growing in the American market.  The opportunity is HUGE! So much of my time is now reserved for my expanding project team. I am currently looking for 3 people who want to work from home and be a part of something new and exciting. If you are currently dissatisfied with your bigger picture progress in life and would like to learn how the project may help you move forward, send me an email and we can arrange a time to talk.

and I’ll share a very unique and effective program that has been massively successful in Europe over the past seven years. I’ll send you a program guide that will allow you to learn the details, and a link where you can move forward if you choose to. As an aside, this program will require some discipline:-) but it’s a lot easier than what I do every day of my life!
