Flipping A Network Marketing No Into A Not Yet (And Then To A Yes)

Guest post by: Andy Acciaioli

Article Overview: When most network marketers receive a no to their business opportunity, they usually cross that prospect off their recruiting list. Most top network marketers realize that a no is a not yet which can turn into a yes to joining their business in the future.

Flipping A Network Marketing No Into A Not Yet (And Then To A Yes)

If you have been in network marketing for more than a day, you know that you have received (and will receive) your share of no’s to your business opportunity. I was trained years ago that a no is simply a not yet.

The person may be in the middle of a busy work week, Or he/she might be overwhelmed with family duties. Perhaps your potential new recruit has just had a battle with their spouse over whether or not to get involved in another network marketing business.

hatever prompted the no, accept it as a not yet. Move on to others but maintain some sort of contact with your “no”. Send an occasional email. If you spot an article that you feel would be interest, send it to him/her with a note that you thought of them when you read the article.

In essence you are keeping yourself in front of them…building the YOU brand in their eyes. This makes it easy for them to think of you as a caring person so that when they are ready to seriously consider a business opportunity it will be yours.

A case of “not yet” happened to me with one of our children. I am involved with a comp plan that benefits those I personally sponsor and those I place under the personally sponsored. I presented the opportunity to our four grown children: 2 got in, 2 said no. About a week ago, I heard from one of my family “no’s” who moved to Orlando this past January during our snow season (who can blame him, right?). Anyway, he called and said he had just heard of a perfect “network marketing pyramid scheme” that I should get in right away. (My son, my “no” reverse recruiting me!!!) He was pumped having just heard Hulk Hogan being interviewed by one of the Orlando radio stations. Apparently Hogan said that he was with a juice company and got out of that to get into a coin mlm program. But when he found this vitamin program, he dropped out of the coin collecting and is now promoting a vitamin program. (The announcer, according to my son, gave Hogan a little jab because Hogan got him involved with the coins and, in spite of not being active, still gets a coin a month.)

So, my son, the no to my business, is now interested in getting into this “network marketing pyramid scheme” business which I look at as a positive. I am sure this will whet his appetite for future opportunities and his “vitamin” upline will provide great training.

Bottom line, my son, the no, has moved to a not yet status in my eyes. Once again, proving that we should always maintain good communication with our no’s because you never know when they will turn into a yes.

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. Some of the offers look interesting but everyone I talk to about it says to avoid these guys like the plague - what's the deal? Why do people hate network marketers and MLM people so much? Is it not legit?
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.
Network Marketing Business - Hello all, Recently, I had join a Network Marketing Business on a part-time basis. Does anyone here who has some knowledge on this type of business? I want to learn as fast as I can from all the gurus here
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.
Re: answer this question - This is a good topic. I haven't done anything, yet, to seriously damage my business. I did shift gear though. It was the best decision I ever made. For me, affiliate marketing was not working. Making the switch to Network Marketing made all the difference.
