I’ve heard many stories lately of people in the network marketing business who tried prospecting someone who said “no” multiple times. Some as many as 20+ times. And eventually, for whatever reason, the prospect finally gave in and decided to get either purchase the product or get on board with the opportunity.

In the cases I’ve heard about, these prospects end up being hugely successful with their business. So it does pay to be persistent. What doesn’t pay is to be a pest.

So how do you know when your being persistent and when you’re being a pest?

I think it’s all about how you approach it. With the right posture (confidence) in your product or opportunity, you can send a message that you are not trying to be a pest, but you are serious that you truly believe they need to look at your opportunity.

Accept “no” for the time being. Check in with them in a few weeks or months and ask if they are ready yet? Again, accept “no” if that is what they say.

You must accept “no” everytime they say it, but that doesn’t necessarily mean “no” forever. It really just means that it’s not right for them right now. You have to be willing to accept that they may never be ready to say “yes”, but hopeful that someday they will.

So remember, don’t be a pest. If they say “no”, consider it a done deal – - for now, not forever.

1. Never get attached to the outcome.

Prospects don’t join, they join then leave and occasionally they join and stick around and work hard. So when people say “no”, or if after working for a month or two on the business and then they leave, don’t let it get to you. Otherwise your in for an emotional roller coaster ride that can be avoided.

2. Ask the right questions.

By asking the right questions to your prospect, you can uncover a wealth of information you may have never known. This informtion can be valuable when it comes time to present your network marketing opportunity or product.

3. Be a Great Listener

Listen with two ears and talk with one mouth. Not thinking about your reply until the person is done is a hard thing to do when we have years and year of doing it the other way around. Make this a habit and it will work wonders with your prospects.

4. Provide Value to Others

Build a list and share your experiences and expertise with them. People follow leaders. By sharing what you know and what you’ve learned, you will find common ground with others. We all share many of the same challenges. If you help someone else solve a prolem, then they will instantly see value in what you offer.

5. Be Consistent

Whether it’s sending regular emails to your list or calling 10 people a day. Do it consistently. This will ensure a continual upward momentum on your activities. Stop doing something and it will start to slow down. Continuously doing something creates exponential results.

6. Be Persistent

Don’t be a pest, but do persist. Many millionaires in my company have shared the fact that their sponsor contacted them as much as 26 times or more until the person finally decided to take a look. Just cause a prospect says “no” the first, second or third time, doesn’t mean you should stop asking. If you feel the person has the qualities to be a great team member, then don’t give up too soon.

7. Have Great Posture

Believe in the industry, your company, your products, your management team, but most of all believe in yourself. If you don’t think you can become successful doing what you’re doing then no one else will believe you either. This is the most important habit to build.

Habits take 21 days to either quit or build. So starting today, make a chart to post up next to your desk with 21 squares on it. And for the next 21 days put a check mark in each day as you practice your habits.

Last night on our team’s weekly call, I was asked to comment on the value of doing three way calls with a support team member.

I wrote about this exact topic here: Should I be doing three way calls to my upline? which you can read to get my opinon.

I had reinforced that in order to be seen as the expert that people want to follow you need to learn how to not use support team members to do these calls, but instead learn to master them on your own.

Someone on the call disagreed with me on one point, but actually it wasn’t a disagreement.

Her comments were that she planned on doing three way calls indefinitely because it provided third party validation. I agreed with her.

In the instance that your prospect wants to know there is a team behind you and that other people will be there to support him or her, then definitely get a support team member on the line.

In another instance, say where the prospect wants to know if your products really work as good as you say they do, then nevermind your support team, instead go for a past product user who loves your product and can give a great immediate testimonial for you.

Three way calls for third party validation: a must! But not when it comes to talking about why they should join you, why they should consider your business or why they should use your products. This requires you to be the expert.

People follow experts, not followers of experts.

A while ago I heard someone talking about the power of words and how using words like upline and downline are not really a nice way to call the people you work with.

Upline – as they are “above” you. Even though physically they are in the heirarchy of your business, it just implies that they are superior.

Downline – as they are “below” you. These are the people that make you a success. It just sounds so degrading.

Success Team & Support Team Instead

I heard someone once say that instead of calling their associates upline/downline, instead they chose to call them their Success Team and Support Team.

Success Team – aka “downline”. They are the ones that make you successful.

Support Team – aka “upline”. These are the ones that support your success and those in your success team.

I love this idea and will no longer be using those derogatory words. Instead I’ll be referring to my Success Team first (as they are my #1 priority) and my Support Team (those I look to for guidance and mentoring).
