Why we are doing presentations - all wrong! Part 3.

Continued from last issue . . .

Well, that's really how our prospects make the final decision. Scary, isn't it?

I think it is good to know.

But, some subscribers read the last two issues and said:

"I don't want to know about what to say, or how to say stuff to my prospects. What is really important? There are unique ingredients in Product #13, there's a famous movie star who has been paid to say my company is good, and we have a patent on something! Nobody else has patents!"

Okay, these subscribers should spend some time at http://www.SponsoringTips.com - everything there is free, and they can learn some cool basics.

They are not ready yet to take the next step in their career, learning how to do their profession. And that's okay. We all go at our own speed.

They will question you about how expensive the company convention is, they will have other priorities on Saturday that are more important than coming to training, and they make their network marketing business fit in during the free spaces in their lives. We should respect that.

Not everyone wants the same thing out of our network marketing business. Most join to buy something at wholesale for their mom, to use some neat services, the social life with positive people, or they hope they get lucky and sponsor someone really good and win the lottery. Not everyone wants what leaders want out of the business.

But some people do want what leaders want.

And to these people, we have an obligation - to give them the skills to go to work.

They are positive, motivated, have great attitudes, they are willing to work, but they just don't know what to say and do.

They will ask us for basic skills so they can get started.

Now this is the painful part.

Can we give them just a few basic skills so they can go to work? Or, will we be one of those sponsors that says:

"Hey, figure it out on your own. Good luck!"

What kind of basic skills or questions will they want to know?

Here is a tiny, tiny three-question skill worksheet. Click here if you are brave:

Recruit strangers with no rejection???

If you have been to my "live" workshops on "Ice Breakers," you should have 20 or 30 great opening sentences that are rejection-free.

If you haven't been to my workshops on "Ice Breakers," here is a no-cost, short mini-course on how to do it:

http://www.fortunenow.com/products/item16.cfm

Here are six great headlines and opening sentences.

   1. "At My Age I've Seen It All, Heard It All, Done It All . . . Except For . . . "

   2. "He Died With Arteries Like A Baby."

   3. "Were You Born Between 1926 And 1981?"

   4. "Could This Weight-Loss Tablet Be The Eighth Wonder Of The World?"

   5. "Convenience Store Clerk Astounds Customers By Retiring Rich At Age 32."

   6. "The Secret Paycheck Your Neighbor Isn't Talking About."

When your prospect pleads poverty . . .

Prospect: "I can't afford $49 for a distributor kit."

Sponsor: "You have cable television, right? Which will make you more money? Cable television or our opportunity?"

If your prospect doesn't subscribe to cable television, just modify your approach for the following:

Smoking
Beer
Golf
Eating out at restaurants
Movies
Enhanced cell phone service
Pizza
Lottery tickets
Shoes
