Know How to Talk to Prospects

I recently jumped into the world of BlogTalkRadio!

My first radio show was a lot of fun and I talked to my friend and fellow mentor, Judit Regev, from Israel.

“Discover the Secret of Turning Bad Prospects Into Good” is a show talking about personality colors.  Knowing a prospect’s color is important in knowing how to talk to a person and how to present information to them.

Listen to the show here to learn an overview of the colors. 

To find out more, download the ebook, Success In 10 Steps, to gain access to our full training program.

Once you read the ebook and listen to 2 core principles audios, I will give you access to the entire Colors To Success training audio.

MLM Success with a Free Mentor and an Apple Orchard

Does it ever seem like you could be so much more successful if onlywizardwithcrystalball you had a crystal ball to show you everything you needed to know?

There is so much to know when you are building an MLM business from home, especially when you are using the internet.

These days, technology and the web are changing almost every day.  Just look at how Facebook changes its platform so often.

Most people don’t have the money to invest in costly programs or high fee mentors.

 

The Mentoring For Free program offers fresh and updated training on how to build your Network Marketing business from home using no or low cost methods.

 

Your Mentors serve you for free with no agenda.

 

But WHY do Network Marketers need to align themselves with a MasterMind group in order to be successful?

We have been discussing this very issue on our Mental Cleanse calls, most recently with Chapter 5, Specialized Knowledge, in Think and Grow Rich. 

My fellow mentor, Ken Klemm,  submitted a brilliant lesson to explain this principle using a fabulous Apple Orchard story.

Enjoy!

 

Apple_Orchard 

“So, You want to go into the apple business?

 
GREAT! Where will you go to learn all about apples, how
to plan an orchard, the tools You will need, and where
to get them and how to use them, etc?Is there an Apple University? Well, there are many fine
schools who have an agriculture department – and lots
of books available.

Maybe You already have an apple orchard, but You’re
having some challenges.

Where will You turn for help? Visit some orange groves
in Florida? Nice vacation maybe, but it’s apples and
oranges!

What about pineapples? Kind of SOUNDS like apples…
No?

How about the U.S. Apple Association? …Better.

Maybe You should look to Your local state apple growers
association. After all, growing apples in Washington is
probably a little different than growing them in
Wisconsin or Virginia.

But why would other apple growers share their tips and
SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE with You? Why would they
cooperate with a competitor?

Because there is a big demand for apples and the things
people make with them. Helping You with Your orchard
makes the apple industry stronger.

If something goes really wrong at Your orchard, it
could adversely affect the industry in the entire
region, possibly even nationwide. Consumer health,
confidence, etc.

So, these folks are Your BEST source for help. Not only
are they actually DOING what You want to do, they also
have a vested INTEREST in Your SUCCESS.

The only place apple growers compete is at local,
county, and state fairs.

Mentoring For Free is the MLM growers association.

Don’t want a big, massive orchard? Just a few trees?
GREAT! We will help You too – ESPECIALLY You. Because,
actually, YOU ARE THE HOPE FOR THE WORLD!

Your Friend and Servant,
Ken Klemm – Florida, USA

P.S. By now You may think I have a passion for
apples… Not really, but I SAW an orchard once. I even
had a wild apple tree in my backyard.”

 

 

 

Get it?  If you do, you can download my free ebook, Success In 10 Steps, and start finding out what you can learn from the MLM Growers Association.

Be a Real Person Online

One of the sites Network Marketers use to promote themselves is Twitter.

Network Marketing is a People Business, so it is important to present yourself as a real person.

 

 
2 Minute Network Marketing Tip…Be a Real Person
 

Twitter enables users to send direct messages to their followers.

You are limited to 140 characters, so you must be brief and to the point.

Being “to the point” does not mean throwing your business opportunity in front of people.

Always offer value.

1.  Use Your real name

2.  Use Your real photograph

3.  Invite people to your social network site, like Facebook, or your blog.

How Your Body Talks To Prospects

One of the greatest challenges Network Marketers face is How To Talk to Prospects.

talkingmouth

 

Everyone knows how to talk to people, we do it every day.

But when it comes to talking to potential customers or business partners we suddenly lose the ability to relate to them on a personal basis.

Most people tend to enter this salesman mode and start regurgitating the script we were taught to use by our upline sponsors.

Staring_Eyes

As we see the people we are talking to going stone cold with glazed over eyes, we soon realize there has to be a better way.

 

Exactly what to say is covered in another post.

 

But here, I want to draw attention to how our body language talks to prospects.

What our hands, feet, posture, and eyes are saying to a prospect can make or break the relationship.

In an article on RealSimple.com, What is Your Body Language Saying?, they list several examples of positive and negative body language.  Below are some examples of what to do right.

 

Smile with your whole face. 

 

Make sure you are always presenting a warm, genuine smile from your heart.  Honest smiles use all of your facial muscles…even those “crow’s feet”!

 

Stay calm.

 

When you’re nervous you may blink more, close or rub your eyes, lower your gaze, shift your weight, massage your forehead, pick your nails, and bite or lick your lips. 

Subconsciously your prospect will pick up on your discomfort.

 

Be honest. 

 

When a person tells a lie, which includes embellishing a company’s pay plan or withholding negative clauses in the contract, their habits will give it away. 

Tell-tale habits when someone is lying are scratching the nose, concealing one’s hands, and looking at the other person longer than usual.

 

Be interested. 

 

Nodding your head, leaning forward, tilting your head towards the other person, raising your eyebrows, and keeping your arms and legs unfolded are all ways to show your prospect that you are interested in what he/she has to say.

Ways in which we impart confidence and authority, include standing with your legs apart and spreading your things out around you rather than keeping things right in front of you or in stacks.

Keeping your hands open and using hand and arm gestures gives the impression that you are warm and agreeable.

 

bodylanguage

 

 

Body language is important because it speaks to the other person on a subconscious level.  It is how we communicate emotionally.

Body language affects the gut reaction the other person gets about you.

 

Make sure you practice talking to someone while standing in front of a mirror.  You can talk to your kids, your dog, or your teddy bear.  Just be comfortable in your own skin.

While talking to a potential prospect, always make a quick mental note of how your body feels and what you are doing with yourself.

Remember to relax, be open and genuinely warm.  This is the most important key to building confidence in your relationship with your prospect.
