Are You Trying To Convert The Heathen? By Kim Klaver At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

How come they won't buy?" she asked.

Some consultants blame you and your presentation. Got this in an email the other day:

MLMU's Biz Tip of the Day #105?There are no bad leads. There are only bad presentations. ?Think about it.?Hilton Johnson, MLMCoach

Others, with whom I agree much more, suggest that you may not be talking to someone who shares the same degree of passion for your thing (product or business) as you do. Here's more on it from our friends at Passionate Users.

The big question: How do you find people with your leanings, your worldview, or passion for your product or business to begin with? You know, in your lifetime?

Instead of spending your days trying to convert the heathen. And there's a heathen for everything someone else loves.

heathen: 1. the unconverted. (to your passion :) - KK)

"I know why they don't respect us," he wrote

Reader Tim Draayer wanted to clarify his comments about whether to push a customer prospect to join the business.

"I've seen and experienced it too many times on the phone and in person to not recognize why people have such a disrespectful view of Network Marketers. My upline, who actually is a great guy, has always been pushy about recruiting and it never really sat well with me. Its just not my way (to be pushy)."

Countless people have lost their customer prospects when they tried to push the business on them. People say "No" and yet the networkers push right on about the business.

And when they don't do that, the rep has his upline to answer to, who wants to know why they didn't sign them up for the business.??Tim's right. He does know why people don't respect network marketers. It works two ways. If we can't respect and value a customer for what she is, why should she respect us?

?How much would you make with 100 regular customers each month, buying what you do?

Do you know how many people in 100 want to sell anything at all? Versus how many there are, who are customers of things?

Hello?

Ray Gebauer, a major leader in Mannatech, wrote this email to thousands of his people:

"I confess, I was wrong...The undeniable fact is that 100% of my volume, and yours too, is from consumers (all business builders are consumers, too). Of that 100% volume, probably less than 1% is from people who order strictly because they are in this for the business and the money potential..." p. 170-172 If My Product's So Great, How Come I Can't Sell It?

Is it time to get over the blind fixation on recruiting (and losing good customers in droves)?
