I hate prospecting. Everyone does.

There’s not a network marketer on the planet who bounces out of bed in the morning and says…

“Goody, goody, goody! I get to go strike up conversations with strangers and try to get them interested in my business!”

Or…

“Oh, hallelujah! I can’t wait to get to the phone and start calling people I don’t know!”

That’s not happening.

And yet, that’s the standard-issue training that you get from most network marketing companies today.

They’ll tell you that the way to build your business is to:

Make a list of all the people you know or have ever known
The Memory-Jogger Method: “Who do I know who’s an Accountant? Who do I know who’s a Baker? Who do I know who’s a Construction Worker?
The “Three Foot Rule”: strike up a conversation with anyone who comes within 3 feet of you!
The F.O.R.M method. Stands for Family, Occupation, Recreation and Message I don’t even want to tell you about this one. I’ll have nightmares tonight if I do….

You get the point!

This stuff is Jurassic Park Marketing.

It’s all leftover from decades ago when there was no internet….

…where people didn’t have computers in their houses….

….where there was no such thing as a smartphone….

….where “debit cards” weren’t invented yet and most people wrote checks for things they wanted to buy.

Hope you get that. I mean REALLY get that.

Right now, the likelihood that you’re reading this on your mobile phone or iPad is pretty good.

You might even be riding down the road at 60 mph.

And, no matter what kind of device you’re on, you could literally BUY A CAR from where you are right now if you wanted to.

And yet — despite all this amazing technology — the way most network marketers are taught to build their business is as old-fashioned as rotary-telephones and gas stations that close at 6pm.

This was the realization that made me wealthy in network marketing…

I spent years, spinning my wheels, in my network marketing business for TWO reasons.

And, if you’re not earning a six-figure income in your business, they’re probably the same two reasons that’s got you stuck.

Here they are:

I didn’t like what I was doing. I had to force myself to do it and pretended I enjoyed it.
The methods I was using didn’t work very well. They were out-dated, antiquated and didn’t match how people today wanted to live, work, buy things and earn money.

I could give you stories of all the stuff I hated.

Contacting people I haven’t talked to in years to see if they’d be interested in making money from home…. striking up conversations with strangers… calling 100 “leads” per day and leaving 96 voicemails …

It was stupid. And that stuff is even more stupid today.

The truth is that prospecting and doing in-person presentations is a waste of time for most people.

I’m not saying it doesn’t “work”. Heck, anything will produce a result if you do it enough times.

But my big breakthrough came from asking some hard questions.

Ask Yourself These Questions…

How much of your spending each month is done with a stranger you met at Starbucks while waiting to get your mocha? None.
How many of your monthly payments required you to go to some “home party” or “private business reception” to sit through a 2-hour meeting before making a decision? None.
How many of your decisions each month that involves having to spend time with a salesman in a 1-on-1 presentation? Unless you’re buying a car or a house, probably ZERO.

And finally, the BIG question:

If YOU don’t make decisions and spend your money that way, why are you asking your prospects to do it?

Today I want to spend a little time talking about something I see quite often with network marketing representatives that have not taken time to fully develop their marketing skills.

If you have been in the network marketing industry as long as I have then you are sure to run across people that will pitch their multilevel marketing (MLM), direct selling, or network marketing business opportunity to you.

I get contacted almost daily by people asking me to take a look at their products or join their business opportunity.

Here is a small sample of non-edited (misspelled words and all) messages I have received in the past through social media or email:

Hey Charles, I just want to start off by saying thanks for accepting me I really appreciate it, ____here, I’ve been checking out your post for quite a while and I am amazed at you’re work, I’m working on a project called wakeupnow and I’m looking to partner up with business professionals, this goes well with your current opportunitie, there is incredible money on the table, are you open to other options outside of your current business?

And another…

Hello Charles glad to see you earning a good income working online. I would love to build you a 2nd income and I would do all the recruiting and building if you are busy with other projects. Just join and send me your link and I will place people under you. I can recruit enough people where you earn a minumum of $600-$2500 or more. I have built a few large teams. Watch this Video. Cost $100 to join

And one more,

I checked out your websites and they look good. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of EPX Body yet, but we are experiencing phenomenal growth. We’re the #1 Home Based Business in Npros and on MLMrankings.com If you would like to take a look at it, let me know what you think.

My question to you is, why should I join your business opportunity?

More importantly, why should I join your business opportunity under YOU??

What makes you different from the thousands of others promoting your business?

What are you offering me to join under you? Do you have some special training or a proprietary (marketing) system?

Think about it, 100 or marketers pitching the same or very similar lines to me daily. Stuff like this…

…create a 6 figure income, great leadership, stable company, ground floor opportunity, blah, blah, blah

But most of you are missing the point…

If I want to make the 6 figure income you keep telling me about with your company I could just join up under one of the leaders of the company, right?

The problem with this approach is that it attracts naive desperate people that also think there success lies in joining a good opportunity,

What Happens When You Do This?

…well, you may initially have some short term success by promoting your business opportunity to some gullible people.

I don’t know about you but I don’t want to build my business with a bunch of lazy, naive, gullible people that are not willing to do any work…

I want to build my business with motivated hardworking people and this strategy/approach doesn’t attract those type of people.

When you use this approach you are building your business like a house of cards.

The slightest little thing can make it topple at any point.

Once these naive people realize that building a business is actually work, that it actually takes dedication, commitment, motivation or learning new skills…things will start to unravel,

…and once a card starts to fall very soon after the whole thing is going to come crashing down.

That is exactly what happens in most people’s organizations because they don’t attract the right people.

So have I described you? Are you this person?

This strategy is typical in the industry

…and we wonder why after 90 days people quit.

REMEMBER, in this business people join people not systems not until you TRULY get that I mean really get it then your business is going to suffer.
