You think you have challenges in your business?

 

When I first met Lisa, it was March, 2013 at the Association of Network Marketing Professionals event in Dallas, where we both spoke on the Social Media Panel. Somehow, I had missed her name in the MLM profession until about a year earlier.

 

Listening to an interview she did with Eric Worre, I became intrigued to meet and get to know this strong, yet gentle, ambitious, yet kind, seasoned and sweet person.

 

Today, the opportunity to interview her and draw out a little of her story brings me huge joy and a sense of satisfaction!

 

In 1988, she was introduced to Network Marketing. She had the good fortune to become part of a company that in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s was a starting point for where some of the greatest network marketing professionals of today began their careers. As she worked her way up through the compensation program in that first company, she was working hand in hand with the best of the best.

Today’s question is….

 

How do I talk to people without feeling like I have an agenda.

 

ANSWER

 

DO you have an agenda and if so, what is it? Write it down and sort through it?

 

This business is about planting seeds, that sprout and grow into trees that give shade to people you will never know.

 

Let THAT be your agenda.

 

What you don’t want to do is always be thinking about what you will get if they join? What YOU will make, and so on.

 

Think of how it can change THEIR life?

 

Their history…

 

Their family tree….for generations to come.

 

You are not asking for a favor, you are offering an opportunity, and believe it!

 

Every person who has ever made money in the network marketing profession will tell you that they are GRATEFUL to the person who introduced them. Indebted to them, even.

 

If you go into every conversation and remember that your prospect is asking - what’s in it for me, and you stop asking yourself the same question, you’ll see your results soar.

 

We don’t want anyone who can fog a mirror. We want those for whom the time is right - NOW. And, we keep in touch in case it becomes right later on.

 

It never feels good to have an agenda, so let go of any agenda. It’s not about you. It’s only ever about you when YOU are taking a look. When YOU decide to join.

 

Once that’s done, it always comes down to how you can serve the person in front of you, right now!

 

Let your agenda become one of - How might I serve you? Where are you in your life right now and what is best for you based on that?

 

Do this, and it will come back to you!

 

That is why blatant pitching of your opportunity doesn’t do well on Social Media - it doesn’t really attract the type of person you want long term in your business. Why? Well, do you see an agenda written in those pitches?

 

Most have nothing to do with - find a need and offer a solution. 

 

Success in sales, and yes, I am sorry, but we are in sales. Not pushy aggressive sale, but rather the type of sales that is the top of the game. Sales is one of the highest paid professions in the world, and yet people run from the word.

 

Think of it this way - don’t you LOVE it when you are sold something you REALLY want, in a fantastic way? Do you have a good feeling then, about sales? And what you bought?

 

Seek to provide the same in your business!

 

Good luck!
