We Have A System For That.

Written by: Andy Acciaioli

Article Overview: Instead of letting our network marketing company’s recruiting system take over once we start the recruiting process, we often want to stay involved with the entire process. The best thing we can do, however, is step back and let the system move the prospect from recruitment to sign-up.

We Have A System For That.

Do you have an "I can do everything, I can answer anything" person on your team? I am willing to bet that although this person has a wealth of information about your network marketing company, this person does the least amount of sponsoring. It is certainly not the intention to sponsor only a few people into the business. The problem is this person is not using your company's system to the fullest but instead trying to be his/her own system.

This is a problem on a couple of levels. First, this person's prospects will feel as though they too have to become the wealth of information just like you. And, second, you can be (mentally) draining them with all of your explaining. Who cares how tall the trees are that produce the acai berries? Is it really all that important to know how many bottles of lotion are cranked out every day by your company?

The bottom line is that if you have an inquisitive prospect asking for specifics, which are well beyond the common knowledge of the average networker, let your company's system take over. Refer them to your company's website or encourage them to jump on a webinar.

One top networker would always say, "We have a system for that." And then refer them to his company's website or to a company webinar. Whatever the question, the response would be the same, "We have a system for that."

Another top networker once compared this to a game of chance at an amusement park. It is the one where the ducks are circulated in a constant flowing water stream, you know where you pick up a duck and it has a number underneath it which designates the prize you won. His analogy was that we networkers are like the manager of the game having the sole responsibility of making sure that we keep the ducks flowing and not getting hung up on any of the side panels. Should they get stuck, we have to move them back in to the flowing stream with all the others.

The important thing to remember is that your function in the recruiting process is to lead them in to the recruitment funnel. Once there, do not try to micro manage their progress, step back and let your system be in control. Should they get stuck or require personal attention, you will always be there to get them back into that recruiting cycle.

At first you might find this "hands off your prospect" approach difficult to follow but...no problem, we have a system for that.

Re: What or Who Sparks Your Business Interest - I guess the business bug has always been with me as I was brought up in a public house. My parents were publicans, so were my grandparents, and later so were my brother and myself. I've also managed a café, co-owned a snack bar and also a second hand store, which is where I discovered computers and the Internet as someone came in one day and asked "can you sell this for me" referring to his computer. After that I learned how to build one from scratch, install the Operating System and then went online to find out how everything worked and how to maintain computers properly. All the time I was doing this there was a thought at the back of my mind telling me that I could make a living on the Internet and eventually I made up my mind to do just that.
Re: What is the Best Franchise? - As a franchise owner the things that I look for in a prospective franchise is: 1- A proven track record. Too many franchises try and branch out long before they have perfected their product, don't become a guinea pig for them to figure out what works and what doesnt. 2- Support. A good franchise should have great communication with it's franchisee's and be available to meet it's franchisees needs. Youre only contact with them shouldn't be when you have a problem. Good franchises involves it's franchisees in building it's business. 3- A Great System. McDonald's doesn't exactly make a good hamburger but they have an excellent system of conducting business. The real value in a franchise is the system, not necessarily the product. There are many other factors in deciding on a franchise but many of those are personal to you and your situation. The best thing to do is to conduct as much research as possible and speak with every current franchisee you can and get a feel for the franchise. garyshouldis.com
Business Owners: Attention Please - Hi Guys I’m about to release what I call our Email Marketing System. This application will be progressively advanced in the coming months as we continually test the system. The application right now will allow companies to send mass (but personalized) emails to all their customers. You'll be able to send emails that say "Hi John…," "Hi Susan…,” etc. Once the email is sent, you will be able to track it (i.e. how many people open it, go to your website, forward it to a friend, subscribe to your send out, unsubscribe, etc). I am looking for a few business owners who are willing to test the system out, using it for their email marketing, and provide feedback from it. I want to test it first before opening it to the public. If you have never had an email campaign I can help you set it up. There will not be any charges while we are testing the system and I might keep it like that depending on usage vs. resources. If anyone is interested can you please PM me with your details. If you have any questions feel free to message me as well. And for those worried about privacy issues, I won’t have access nor be able to see the emails you have stored. Thanks guys!
