Yesterday, I blogged about the two main aspects for you to succeed in your network marketing business. I did talk about producing a name list.
How and what to look for when you want to create a list?
Look for people or prospect with good image and a positive attitude (going to do the business) as well as those respected people, those with big dreams, and those who have the same caliber as you or higher than you.
Base on my personal experience, the more successful a person, the faster it is for him to see the potential of this business. However, this is only a guideline.
In network marketing, do remember that you are helping people by giving them a global business franchise opportunity. You are creating a chance for them to gain financial independence and to realize their dreams. Please, never prejudge or assume a person, especially those with little achievements. When you think that they will not be interested, you are in fact making decision for others. By doing that, you are taking away the great chance of offering an opportunity to them. Just bear in mind that your prospects must decide for themselves.
Your objective to share your opportunity with others is fulfilled. Your prospects will never say that you did not give them the chance to know the opportunity. In fact, some of them will thank you for their whole life. Pre-determining a person is not a good practice in network marketing industry as it can cause a great loss of a valuable network marketer forever.
When you want to produce a list, do consider the following people:
-
Friends
-
Neighbours
-
Relatives
-
People with religions
-
Colleagues & ex-colleagues
-
Club, Association Members
-
Names on any greeting, invitation cards
-
Ex-school and class mates
-
Anyone you respect even though you do not know them well; as they might also want to lead a better life
Once you’ve discussed with your uplines on your name list, start making phone calls or send them emails. However, if you want to start by sending emails, call them after a week if there’s no reply. One of the lesson I learnt was your prospects want to interact with you live rather than an email. Remember, this list is not a cold list! You know your prospects; except that you might have not been calling them all these years and suddenly they are being contacted!
For those people whom you have not been contacting for quite sometimes, you have to do some ‘patching-up’ on the relationship. Try not to talk about the business opportunity first. Starts with topics such as family, work, activities, hobbies, etc. Everyone has needs; be it a need to succeed or a need to achieve. You can expand your initial interaction by touching on their needs before getting on your objective.
A man who can be trusted can usually progress faster in the network marketing business. Look for agile and successful people that you can find to share your opportunity. Remember, the list will never be exhausted as long as you know who do you know to help them to become successful, unleashing their potential and to achieve their dreams.
