Leave the tire kickers behind
It’s taken me a while to get this but if you are in a network marketing company, you really have to learn to leave the tire kickers behind.
I’m not suggesting to be rude to them. Just find out if there’s a fit with your company and if not, politely part ways and move on to the next prospect.
Case in point. Here’s the transcript from a Skype conversation I had last night with a prospect. Ironically the person being rude in this dialog was the prospect, not me.
Prospect: hi.
Prospect: what opportunity?
Me: Do you remember clicking on a Facebook ad for a Brian Tracy opportunity?
Prospect: perhaps. I recall being annoyed by a banner that gave no information and then being annoyed by a website that did the same.
Me: Sorry to hear that. I’ll try to give you the information you need.
Me: The web site to join Brian Tracy’s team is www.ilearningglobal.tv
Prospect: In 2 lines, what is the opportunity?
Me: To learn: Personal and professional business development from the top 200 experts in their respective industries. To earn: As you share with others, you can earn money for each member who joins wth you as well as the members they go on to sign
Prospect: I pay for this learning? MLM for other clients?
Me: Yes. Your membership would be $99/month USD. Each person you directly sponsor earns you $22.40/month USD. People they sign range from 3 to 7% depending on what level they are on.
Prospect: what is your opinion on the delince of the USD?
Me: I can’t really speak to how the dollar will perform but I do feel our economy is slowly gaining momentum again.
Prospect: Why can’t you speak of i t, while selling me a business course?.
Me: The faculty members are the experts. I am not a faculty member.
Prospect: What will I be getting for 100$/m ?
Me: 24/7 access to the video content from all 200 faculty members; ebook and audio content download; weekly mastermind sessions (teleconference)
Prospect: why will I want that?
Prospect: Is there a sneak peak?
Me: If you go to www.ilearningglobal.tv you can click the “launch” button under video theater near the top right of the web page
Me: there are also sample videos on YouTube at www.youtube.com/ilearningglobal
Prospect: Sorry, not interested.
Me: Ok, thanks for checking it out. Have a good day
And that was end of it. I crossed him off my list and moved on to my next prospect. No harm. No foul. Would you have done the same? Would you have handled this differently? Leave a comment below and let me know.
