Network Marketing Business The Real Reasons You Won't Talk to Friends and Family

Today the “new” thing is that you not only can but you should build a Network Marketing business without talking to your friends and relatives. Everywhere you look people are putting down the idea that talking to friends and relatives because it’s “old school”. They want you to look at this issue emotionally. I want you to analysis it intellectually.

Why You Won’t Talk to Your Friends and Relatives…the REAL reasons:

1. Credibility. You have no credibility with your friends and relatives. After all…you aren’t rich yet! They know you too well…so you can’t “fake it until you make it”. Since you can’t tell them why you will be successful this time, you just avoid the issue altogether by not telling them about it in the first place.

2. You don’t believe in your company. No you don’t! Because you paid money to join a Network Marketing business doesn’t mean you actually believe in it. Belief in your company takes time and is ONLY tested when something happens that you don’t like! (Read that again.) Anyone can have a “belief” when things are going well.

3. You don’t believe in your product(s). Belief in your product is the easiest belief to gain. It either works or it doesn’t. However, you have to take it or use it long enough to gain that belief.

4. You don’t believe in your opportunity. NO YOU DON’T! Until you actually make money…you don’t believe in it. Want proof? Who is the most important person in your life? Do you want to see them financially free…or some stranger you met on a chat board! If you REALLY believed in your opportunity, if you REALLY believed that you were going to become rich…then why would you want to take some stranger on the trip with you instead of someone you know? That simply makes no sense. The only people who won’t talk to their friends and relatives are those that don’t believe in their opportunity!

5. You don’t believe in yourself. If you believed in yourself, you couldn’t wait to tell your friends and relatives about your Network Marketing business because you KNOW you are going to be successful. But…since you don’t actually believe in yourself, you are afraid to put yourself “out there on the line” with them, but you will do so with strangers because you have no relationship with them. Belief in you is going to take a L-O-N-G time.

Why You Should Talk to Your Friends and Relatives…the REAL reasons!

1. You need experience. You will NOT consistently sponsor people in the “cold market” unless you have developed certain skill sets…regardless of where that lead came from, Internet or not! Talking with your friends and relatives is the fastest way to gain some of that important experience base. It’s NOT about whether they join or not. It’s NOT about them…it’s about YOU. It’s about you getting your feet wet!

2. “Why didn’t you tell me about this”? Once successful, your friends and relatives are not going to be happy that you didn’t share this with them in the beginning. They may not have joined anyway, but that’s not the issue. The issue is about you never having regrets. Personally, I want to be able to say, “I told you so”, rather than, “I’m sorry”.

3. If your company has a “fast-start” program it’s very important you qualify for it. You will NOT earn that bonus if you insist on only recruiting in from the cold market. It takes time to fill up your pipeline and there won’t be enough time if the Internet is the only technique you use.

4. Who is the most important person in your life? Do you want to see them financially free…or some stranger you met on a chat board!

5. Because you don’t know enough yet to present it to someone you don’t know!

So…
If you don’t have enough credibility to tell your friends and relatives about your new Network Marketing business then you probably won’t make it anyway because this business in all about credibility and it’s about getting past the fear of rejection because no one likes to be rejected.

If you won’t address this small obstacle of fear concerning your “warm market”, then trust me…you certainly won’t be able to handle the much bigger obstacles that will most certainly come your way on the road to building your Network Marketing business.

One comment regarding the Internet…

If you are new to your Network Marketing business, you can generate leads using the Internet and I can purchase leads from a lead company and I will sponsor more than you. Why? It is because of skills I have learned in being the top recruiter in two different Network Marketing companies…no not for one month…but top recruiter for the YEAR! It’s those skills that are important and not where the lead came from. Do I believe in using the Internet to generate leads? Yes…I have for years. However, the important thing is your SKILL and not where the lead was generated.

Certain “experts” are going to get upset when they read this article (and “Network Marketing Business New School versus Old School Truths”) because it tells the truth and the “truth will set you free”!

Any here is the truth…

The Internet is a tool…it’s not the business. In the United States, 55,000 people join a Network Marketing business or direct sales company every month and…
85% of those distributors, regardless of what company, still join with someone they know…Internet or no Internet!
