When we first start a new network marketing adventure we’re excited and ready to tell anyone and everyone we meet about our new adventure, and opportunity. This is all fine and good, but chances are we’ll soon find ourselves frustrated and maybe even a little bummed out because we didn’t get the responses we’d expected.
When this happens it gets harder and harder to open our mouths. We get a lot of self doubt and it’s at this point we may even think this was a big mistake and want to quit.
Don’t.
It wasn’t a mistake. Network marketing is an amazing vehicle to change your life. What you need to do though, is figure out exactly what to say to people, how to say it and when. When you figure out those things it gets a lot easier. You can practice before you find yourself in the situation, and by being able to practice you’ll increase your confidence in your ability to handle any situation. When you’re more confident people are more likely to take you seriously and listen to you, which means you bring more people into your business.
For a while I was pretty negative when it came to scripts. I felt like I wanted it to be “natural” and I wanted to just have a conversation… but then I started taking notice of what was actually happening when I was in social situations where I could easily share information about my business.
I didn’t.
I didn’t because I didn’t know what to say!!
It was then I found this great book from Todd Falcone. I was stunned at how much different I felt even walking into situations. I was amazed at how much different I FELT knowing I knew what to say to people, who to say it to, and when! It made all the difference in the world… and the thing is, these scripts worked whether I was at the bank, the grocery store or even on Facebook!!
If you do nothing else at least grab the free “go to” script from Todd. It will change the way you look at talking to people. I know it definitely did for me.
Next week we’re going to talk about who you really want to be talking to… and who you REALLY want to recruit into your business… my guess it is NOT who you’re currently talking to. 🙂
Let’s stay in touch! Let’s connect on Facebook if we aren’t already. 🙂
