but i do notwant to make money on my friends
I've received several requests for me to describe how to handle the objection of, "I wouldn't want to make money off my friends." Have you encountered this objection and not known how to get past it? Let's first look at when this objection can come up.
This objection can come up during prospecting, as in, a person reviews the network marketing industry and comes up with the idea (or someone else gives them the idea) that they HAVE to contact their friends and family in order to do the business. They don't want to view themselves as a pest or a nag.
The other way this comes up is once a person is in the business they are told to make a list of their contacts and they recoil, thinking they will be hard- selling or pushing their friends, family and business acquaintances into buying something they (the friend or family member) don't want.
Let me give you a couple of important tips on this right now. Then on the conference call next week, I'll explain fully how to handle this objection.
First, if you follow the Inviting Formula and the Ten Communication Qualities (especially #4 - Use the right amount of assertiveness) as per Professional Inviter , you can NEVER be a pest nor could you ever push someone to do what they don't want to do!
Second, usually Brilliant Compensation DVD handles this objection.
I have heard from one person that their prospect had this objection after watching the video. Upon further investigation, what occurred is that after watching the video, the prospect was telling a friend of her husband's about how excited she was and the "friend" told her that she would lose her friends if she did network marketing.
She did not remember the section in Brilliant Compensation where working with friends and family was discussed as she "didn't have any issue with it" so she "didn't pay attention to that part." In the end, she sat her husband's friend down and had him watch the video and he was the first person she sponsored. :)
Third, people who claim they "don't want to make money off their friends," honestly do not understand the business! If they were to sponsor one of their friends they would then see that the amount of work they need to put into their friend before the friend makes them any money is quite a lot. They will earn every penny!
And lastly, if a person doesn't want to make money off their friends... why do they think it would be "okay" to make money off of a stranger? Are they usually unethical in their business practices and don't want their friends and family to know?
Join me on the f.ree conference call training next week (date and time below) and I'll discuss this topic in detail and teach you how to handle this objection fully.
Also, while it's fresh in your mind, please send me your comments (to support@timsalesnewsletter.com) on this objection as well as how you've successfully or unsuccessfully handled this objection in the past.
