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.

To say the house I was at was beautiful would be the understatement of a lifetime. Let’s just say I determined by the end of the night that if I lived there I wouldn’t ever have to come up from the basement!

While I was at the event, I shot some video including the people giving presentations. It was a little long so I cut it down to about 7 minutes. Unfortunately, I wasn’t thinking smart enough to include myself in any of the videos. Maybe next time.

So if you have 7 minutes to spare, watch the video. Even if you don’t have a clue what iLearningGlobal is, I think you’ll find some good motivation from the presenters to jump start your day.

P.S. Check out the awesome Harry Potter wall art in the background in the video. The owner of the house owns Harry Potter Wall Art.com, a business that makes these things. Pretty cool!
