Working on the process or perfectionism

We join a Network Marketing Business, if we never make the calls because we want it to be perfect that is Perfectionism. If we want to sponsor five or more people a month and we don't do it and decide to stop dialing that is perfectionism.

Working on the process means you make your dials and if you get one person in and you learn a lot you should celebrate. If you don't get anyone in that month, yet you learn a great deal of information I feel you should recognize what you gained that month.

You always must do your best to keep improving your skills.So should we look at the process and be happy with our accomplishments and always strive to a new level of achievment with anything we have to do with our business and/or anything we have to accomplish in life?

Or should we say we aren't sponsoring five or more people a month and decide to leave our Network Marketing business?

My answers is it is all in our tracking. We need to look at the process and find out what is working and what isn't working and improve what isn't working.

What I have noticed this past week is many people want to get rich quick or want magic to happen. They want it to happen now. They don't realize everything in life takes a skill and applying effective action to get where you want to go with your business or with life.

We all have challenges we don't want to just stop living because we have a challenge. We have to look at what we do have control over and do our best to learn and improve everything we have to accomplish.

Momentum with Network Marketing

In order to move forward with our business we need to have a positive momentum to contact prospects on a daily basis. We contact prospects and we can get a lot of responses from the prospects and sometimes we aren't able to reach the prospect.

There are three steps in order to keep our positive momentum. The first step we need to know is our objective for dialing the prospects. Our objective should always be the same recruit business builders that will recruit business builders. The second step is primary want; we always need to keep our primary want in the forefront when we contact prospects to keep us moving forward with our business. Finally the third step is attitude. We need to keep control over our attitude as we prospect.

Attitude is the big one because prospects can pick up on our attitudes. There are many ways the call can go as we prospect.

First way is we can a voice message. If we get a voice message we leave a voice message and leave our names and telephone numbers and talk very slowly and politely and always follow-up with an email.

The second way we reach a prospect is by a gatekeeper. The gatekeeper wants to ask us questions before we reach the prospect. We always want to be polite to the gatekeeper, however keep the prospects privacy.

Another way is by a greeter. A greeter is great because they are answering the phone however; never expect them to give a message. If you have a greeter and you are polite to them they will give you some information on the prospect. You don’t want to drill them though and write the information on your notes and leave the prospect a message after you spoke with the greeter.

Finally you may speak to a surrogate or a proxy. A Surrogate or Proxy can be the person that is going to help invest in the prospects business. They aren’t doing the business however; they are putting down the money so the prospect can earn a Return on Investment sooner then later. Many surrogates and/or proxies are the prospects spouses. We always want to be polite to them and we want to send an email right after leaving a message. Once we contact the prospect we may want to do bring the proxy or surrogate in so they can have the information to make a good decision with their investment.

It doesn’t matter who we speak with we need to always remain professional and in control over the conversation. We need to have a good attitude. If we reach the prospect themselves sometimes they are hesitant and that is ok. We want to reassure them that we are on their side and calling them because they requested information in starting and/or building a profitable home-base business.

If the prospect is rude then we can make a decision whether we want to work with them or not. It may be easier to delete them from our data base if they are too rude. We need to keep our momentum and quickly dial the next call. If we spend too much time with the prospects that are negative we may stop dialing because we lose our momentum and never move forward with our business.

As we dial prospects we always have to go by what we do know. We do know they requested the information and we do know our objective, primary want and our attitude. As we speak with the prospect we have to go by what we do know not by what we don’t know. It is ok to ask someone how you know what your saying is true. However, you don’t want to get side tracked and lose what you do know.
