Not enough good quality prospects = Stress

The following is from Big Al's Newsletter… and I couldn't agree more.

Not enough good quality prospects = Stress.

Eight quick solutions.

The cause of stress in network marketing is having too few prospects. When we only have a couple of prospects, we press, we push, we strain to make them join our opportunity.

Prospects feel this pressure and instinctively back away from us. This leads to fewer prospects and the vicious cycle gets worse and worse.

When we have an abundance of prospects, we're happy. We are not desperately waiting for a single decision from a single prospect. We aren't married to the outcome of a single presentation.

Instead, we're relaxed. We simply share our opportunity and take the first prospects who volunteer and step forward. Now we're working with volunteers and we have more great
prospects waiting in line.

Which scenario describes your network marketing career?

Are you pressing and struggling from too few prospects?

Or, are you simply accepting applications from the best volunteers from your large pool of quality prospects?

The solution is simple:

Increase your marketing so that you have an abundance of prospects.

Why not increase your personal contacts now? Here are some quick ideas:

1. Host your class reunion. You don't have to wait for a 10-year or 20-year anniversary. You can do it any time.

2. Take your best three or four headlines and first sentences and test them. Mail out 100 postcards and test the response for each.

3. Start your own breakfast club.

4. Offer to be a guest on a local radio talk show.

5. Loan out ten "How To Get Rich Without Winning The Lottery" books.

6. Establish some contacts who will send you referrals.

Let me repeat a key point he makes….

I would add that when we have an abundance of prospects, not only are we happy… but prospecting actually becomes enjoyable and fun.

Are you having fun yet?
