Can A Guppy Capture a network Marketing Whale?

Guest post by: Andy Acciaioli

Article Overview: We get caught up in the excitement of a new recruit wanting to prospect network marketing leaders who may have contacted the new recruit in the past. Instead of encouraging the newbie to chase these leaders to recruit into his/her new network marketing business, you should advise them to wait until they experience some success before contacting network marketing leaders.

Can A Guppy Capture a network Marketing Whale?

While it is not impossible for a guppy to capture a whale. It is highly improbable.

So too is it improbable that a newly recruited team membe3r to your network marketing company could attract an industry leader to his/her opportunity. Yet in most cases when a new person who has joined our group and mentions people who have recruited him/her in the past, what is our first reaction? Why not contact them, since you already have a relationship with them, and try to get them to look at this opportunity.

By encouraging your new team member to do this, you are almost setting his/her up to fail for a few of reasons.

One. The network marketer that is being contacted who is already committed to his/her opportunity will not be receptive to any other mlm program. If they are experiencing the slightest success with what they have why would they want to jeopardize this by jumping on something new?

Two. Since that network marketing leader initiated the contact by originally prospecting your new team member who refused their opportunity, human nature being what it is, don’t you think that the leader is a tad offended when the prospect who refused his/her offer suddenly comes and attempts to make a pitch for another business opportunity?

Third. Any network marketing leader would look at a former prospect contacting them as an opportunity to once again try to recruit him/her into their network marketing opportunity? You know, the reverse recruiting strategy.

The outcome is that you have a deflated team member who was rejected by a leader. It’s one thing to have the opportunity rejected by a broke brother-in-law, but it’s another thing to have it rejected by a

living, breathing networker. In the case of the brother-in-law, his opinion has come to mean little over the years. In the case of a leader rejecting your business, well, maybe they are right and you are wrong for having gotten involved with the opportunity in the first place.

Encourage your newbie, your guppy, to wait until he/she is sponsoring and operating their business successfully before trying to snag a network marketing whale. Besides, once it becomes apparent that your new team member is on their way to building a profitable mlm business, it will catch the attention of those that tried to recruit him/her in the past. As we all know, it is better to be chased by those who want to learn more about our business than it is to chase someone into joining our business.

Facebook is a bust! - I know it's only been 4 days (I created my Facebook account on Friday afternoon), but this has been a bust for me. But then, I knew it would be. I have no network of friends to ask to join, and everyone there seems to be in their teens and early 20s, just looking for other young people to go out and drink with. I put an announcement in the Marketing section of my network (Norfolk) saying I was looking for SF reviewers, and have gotten 2 responses so far, neither from anyone who seemed to have any "get up and go." But of course my hope is that someone with a lot of friends who likes SF will agree to become a reviewer, and announce their reviews to their friends each time they appear, so said friends will visit the page, see the ads, and buy stuff... But I'm not sanguine...
