MLM Success | Do NOT Approach Friends and Family!
*********************************************************************************************
Jill goes totally against the tide in this article explaining why approaching friends and family does't work and isn't duplicatable in MLM.
*********************************************************************************************
Yes, you read that correctly. Do NOT approach family and friends when you are starting a new home based business. Unfortunately, this is not what is taught by most of these types of companies.
The Dreaded List Of Family & Friends
Most home based business have you create a list of friends and family to get your business started. Well, I don't know about you, but I would have rather walked across hot burning coals than to turn to my friends and family to start building my customer list.
Now don't get me wrong, I loved my products but I didn't want my company built on sympathy purchases. You know, those purchases one make just because you don't want to hurt someone's feeling.
The Sympathy Purchase
Find the cheapest item possible.
Purchase it.
Do not spend a bunch of money.
How To Build Your Home Based Business Without Approaching Family And Friends
First, understand that most home based businesses will take time to build. Stay away from the instant, get rich, make money in your sleep programs. They don't work.
The best way to never have to approach your family and friends is to focus on investing your valuable time with a home based business that has a duplicatable program.
The Duplicatable Program
Why is duplication important?
Well, I remember with the first home based business (I'm not with them anymore) the tools I had to build my business was a DVD video that was full of hype, a worksheet to list friends and family, and a powerpoint presentation for a notebook presentation.
Wow! These tools did not work for me and they were not working for the majority of the people in the company.
It wasn't until later that I discovered that there are home based businesses out there that have real tools that worked.
For example, online tools (not your business website) that attract customers for you. Interactive training calls where you can learn how to be totally non-threatening and learn how to spot a person's personality type within 1-2 minutes on the phone. Resource guides that give you tested, proven, successful scripts and step-by-step how to instructions.
When there's a duplicatable system, it is easy to plug in and start building without approaching friends and family.
Need help making your system duplicatable?
Send a message. I'll help anyone, in any company, ANYTIME.
