Most People Do This With Their Warm Market…Do You?

So you joined a new opportunity and the first thing your sponsor tells you to do is to create a list of your “warm market” so you can share with them your business opportunity.

OMG! You HATE having to bother your friends and family because you already know what they are going to say.

“You got involved in one of those pyramid schemes?”

“You are a fool if you think you can make any money in this. I know a guy who lost a lot of money and never made anything.”

Especially if this is not your first opportunity.

Doesn’t it feel like you are badgering your friends and family?

It may even have gotten to the point where your friends and family are starting to treat you like they treat Jehovah Witnesses coming to their house early on Saturday. You know how we do with the Jehovah Witnesses. I remember when I was growing up and the Jehovah Witnesses would come to the door, my mother would turn off all the lights and tell us to sit quietly, until they left so they would think no one was home. LOL

That’s how you visualize your friends and family treating you after you tell them about your business.

Especially if you are a professional…say, doctor or lawyer or something. You become afraid that you will ruin your reputation and your clients and business colleagues will think you have lost your mind and avoid you like the plague.

The only reason people will avoid you when you tell them about your opportunity, is if you weren’t trained to properly prospect your warm market.

So how DO you prospect your warm market?

If you change the way you look at it, it will become something that you ENJOY doing, not dread.

What you are actually doing is helping people to possibly change their life.

Wouldn’t you want to help your friends and family change their life for the better?

Wouldn’t you want people you know, love and respect, to become your business partners?

Of course you would.

We all have that friend who wants to stay home and raise her family but she can’t because she has to work so the Day Care is raising her children.

Or the guy friend that works for the local factory and is working 60 hours a week and barely making ends meet.

Or that waitress friend who works two jobs and is trying to be a good single parent but barely have enough money to feed and clothe her children.

When we tell them about our opportunity and they aren’t interested, we simply don’t get it. So, we become defensive and start badgering them to join. THAT”S when they start treating us like Jehovah Witnesses.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work if you badger them if THEY can’t see the big picture.

All that is required is that you ask them one time.

IF they say no, it’s not a rejection towards you. It is just that right now, they are not ready to become your business partner.

Wait for six months and then approach them again. Perhaps their situation has changed and now the time is right for them. Perhaps they see all the success you are having and are kicking themselves because they didn’t join when you originally asked them.

Most people in network marketing ask the SAME question to their prospect and they are usually rejected.

They ask this question so much that, to be honest with you, when someone asks me, I totally get turned off because I know it’s a script and I know what is going to follow.

The question EVERYONE asks is, “when it comes to business opportunities, do you keep your options open?”

That’s a horrible question, in my opinion.

First of all, the average person doesn’t go around thinking of business opportunities so it is nothing they would be interested in in the first place.

But what if you asked your friends and family members something like this?

“What if I can show you a way to make $20 to $50,000 every month, where you can make the kind of money some CEO’s makes, AND you can work from home, AND you get to travel? Would you be interested in learning how? Can I show you?”

Most people would say YES if you qualified them correctly.

Asking this question will lead people to begin to visualize themselves making $50,000 a month and traveling. Getting them to visualize themselves being successful is exactly what you want.

But still, if your friends and family say no to this question, do not badger them. And do not feel rejected. Just add them to your list of names you will contact in six months.

See, people’s situations change all the time. If the timing isn’t right for your opportunity right now, it may be right for them in the future.

If you follow this simply process….asking the question to see if they are interested, if they say NO, then just leave it alone. And then try back in six months…you will never have to feel as if your family and friends are dodging or avoiding you.
