The funny thing about Network Marketingis it has an "image" problem. It has a history of being full of Pit-bull Salespeople who seem to have no fear of anyone or anything, let alone rejection ( most Network Marketers #1 fear ) and don't forget they spend hours simply being rejected just to count down the numbers to their known conversion rate of 2 or 3 "yes" replies from the 100 or more previous "no" responses. Now objection handling is an art-form, but you have to question the marketing tactics of the Pit-bulls in today's world. ( If you get the chance to read SALES DOGS by Blair Singer I highly recommend it ... just so you know who YOU are dealing with I'm a Poodle not a Pit-bull!)
Having just rediscovered through the power of the Internet that even the Network Marketing world has moved forward through people like Mike Dillard, Jonathan Budd and Daegan Smith, you don't need to read "7 Secrets of Network Marketing Exposed Today" to figure out that the Internet made target marketing in Network Marketing one hell of a lot easier than "just speak to anyone who is over 18 with a pulse."
Mike Dillard is refreshingly frank about what it takes to be successful in Network Marketing and I am a huge fan of Magnetic Sponsoring, so it was an added bonus that HE is also involved with developing Carbon Copy Pro.
Whatever Network Marketing business you are in, put the emphasis on the word business and SHOUT IT OUT LOUD. If people see you are shy, embarrassed or ashamed of BEING in Network Marketing then why would they feel confident that you were having the time of your life. Take the pressure of feeling like you HAVE to TELL EVERYONE you meet about your opportunity, relax , learn the right way and have interested people coming to you.
