A Tip To Convert Negative People into Fresh Prospects for Your Network Marketing Business

Do you ever wonder how to deal with all the negative people in your life? Do people in your downline complain to you about all the negative people in their life?

I was frustrated by negative people for a long time and tried to avoid them as much as possible. Or I resented being captured by their ranting and raving. I felt like my energy was sucked up by “psychic black holes.”

But I just found out some great skills to use with negative people that are making all the difference. I’ve been listening to training from Tom “Big Al” Schreiter on ice breakers to use with negative people.

Imagine that you are at a family reunion and you’re captured by your Uncle John, the uncle who complains about everything. You immediately sense that this is going to be another whining and complaining experience. But you’ve been listening to training from Bit Al and you decide to apply what you’ve learned.

So your uncle starts complaining about his health problems, back problems and chronic pain. This time you listen patiently until he takes a breath, then you ask him “Uncle John, it sounds like you’re in a lot of pain. Would you like to do something about it?”

Your uncle now has two options. He can answer “Yes” or “No”. If he says yes, then “ca-ching”. You have a chance to share about products from your business that could help him.

Uncle John could also say “No.” But he probably won’t say it directly. Most people don’t say no directly, instead they use “secret code.” Your uncle may say “I’m under doctor’s care.” He could also say “My father had back problems, my grandfather had back problems. It’s inevitable.” Both responses mean “No, I don’t want to do anything about it.”

So you continue your conversation with Uncle John and ask him “What else bothers you?” This gives him another opportunity to complain about other problems. You listen to him patiently for a few minutes and slowly slip away to talk with someone else.

This ice breaker is brilliant. It’s rejection free. You haven’t said anything to your uncle about your business or the products that could help him until he indicates that he is interested. You only talk to people who seriously want to do something about their problems.

Once you master this skill, you start to look for negative people. You think “Negative people, bring them on.” For you realize that negative people are actually fresh MLM leads for your network marketing business. Mastering this simple skill can transform your business into the success you longed for.Do you ever wonder how to deal with all the negative people in your life?

Why do people hate Network Marketing / MLM? - I've been looking at a number of different opportunities and end up meeting a lot of Network Marketing / Multi-Level Marketing people.

Re: MLM Marketing, youtube, and buzzirk mobile. - I have experience with MLM too. My initial reaction to the business was "snake-oil salesman" but once I got to understand the "overall business model" I am now an advocate to it. MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) is also known as Network Marketing. I realized an MLM business is no different than any other business. One needs to focus on both words "Network" and "Marketing" and give both equal respect. Some people focus heavily on the Networking part but forget "Marketing". I've started to use Building on a Budget and Magnetic Sponsoring concepts in my NM business and have found that people don't get involved so much because of the product but more because of what you bring to the table as far as marketing systems and support. I have both products listed in my signature. you don't have to buy it as the link to the free videos itself provides you a good understanding of what is required to position yourself as my above paragraph. If you do plan on purchasing it I can tell you that the measly $40 will open your eyes BUT your upline will not be too happy (atleast in the short term) beacuse the system is not duplicateable. I wrote this post as a polar post to Bulmer's reply as I have exhausted the friends and family networking and realized i never really focused on marketing. My leads now are more qualified and open to hearing about my opportunity than the other way around. my 2 cents if you plan on growing an MLM or Networking Marketing business.
10 best franchises to get involved - My advice is: 1) Go to the library and start reading business books (accounting, finance, etc.) 2) Go to your local community college and enroll in night classes 3) Join the local Chamber of Commerce 4) Network / Network / Network -- through the above sources. Once you have spent two years doing the above, then look for a 55 - 60 year old business person that is looking to reduce their time in the business. Then you can work on a sweetheart financing option.
