How can I Convince People to Join my Network Marketing Business? (SOLVED)



Someone asked me this question in a private message...
I thought I should leave the answer here to help out other Network Marketers in the house

QUESTION
How can I convince people to join my network marketing business?

MY ANSWER 👇👇👇

You should never ever convince anyone. There is a saying that "a man convinced against his will, is still of the same opinion" Therefore, you cannot "convince" anyone who does not deep down, sincerely want to work a network marketing business to join network marketing or to distribute the products/service. Your approach should be to simply show people an opportunity, don't try to convince them of anything. 

THE DREAMS YOU HAVE FOR YOURSELF IS NOT THE DREAMS THEY HAVE FOR THEMSELVES. If they say yes, cool, work with them. They say no, thank them and move on. Most will NOT do network marketing because it involves work, it requires extra effort and they just don't want to do it. 

Recommended Readings:  

Human beings by nature don’t want to be uncomfortable. Some will prefer you to give them $1 as a gift rather than give them a product to sell and make a profit of $100. Nevertheless, most people will eternally be grateful you showed them an opportunity, an alternative to doing something productive with their lives, hence improving their financial status. They are people that actually want to do something about their life/situation, they are looking for opportunities. Seek out such people.

When you share an opportunity with someone, be it a network marketing business model or a traditional business model, show them the basics and how it can benefit them....but LET THEM BE THE ONES TO CONVINCE THEMSELVES IT IS A WORTHY OPPORTUNITY TO EMBARK ON and that's what makes ALL the difference! An initial investment to join network marketing is significantly lower than any other business opportunity. 

Network marketing is like buying into a franchise except the cost is really low as they are no overheads, no rents or bills to pay, no employees etc. A franchise comes with an established business system in place for ordering supplies, marketing materials, established brand, bulk discounts and much-much more. Franchises are more manageable for people who are not too familiar with starting a business from scratch. And that’s the beauty of network marketing.

Don't try to convince anyone, those that are convinced against their will don't stay long, don't work hard and they give a bad name to the industry when things don't work out for them. Just Share your opportunity from your heart and the right people will resonate with it. Always keep in mind, It's not about you, it's about them. It's about solving their problems/concerns. Be a solution provider and be proud of what you have. 

The right people will be glad you shared and the wrong people will avoid you, might even hate you for it....but take nothing personal. That’s life. “To be great is to be misunderstood”. Keep Building your business.

Negative Publicity is Still Publicity: An Insult Hurled on his Book Thrust him on Forbes List of World's Highest Paid Authors 2018



Basic logic tells us that negative opinions have a negative impact on our perceptions. If a man leaves a restaurant complaining about the service or reads a book and gives a horrible review, he’s likely to drive other customers/readers away. But this is not always the case: even negative reviews provide publicity, visibility, brand awareness and drive sales. Negative publicity is still publicity.

Donald Trump Insulted his Book on Twitter and it thrust him on Forbes List of World’s Highest Paid Authors 2018.

 

In early January 2018, Michael Wolff's book titled Fire and Fury was published. Excerpts released before publication included unflattering descriptions of behaviour by U.S. President Donald Trump, chaotic interactions among the White House senior staff, and derogatory comments about the Trump family by former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. 

News of the book's imminent publication and its embarrassing depiction of Trump reached Trump's ears and prompted Trump and his lawyer, Charles Harder, to issue on January 4, 2018, a cease and desist letter alleging false statements, defamation, and malice, and to threaten libel lawsuits against Michael Wolff. Trump, unsurprisingly, went further to attacked Michael Wolff on Twitter by saying: “Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book.”

Far from deterred, Wolff’s publisher Henry Holt and Company took advantage of the free publicity and moved up the release date of Fire and Fury. The “really boring and untruthful book” flew off the shelves, topping 1.7 million copies sold across hardcover, e-book and audio formats in its first three weeks.  In a 12-month scoring period, the book sold 1,015,000 hardcover copies in the U.S. alone, in addition to the tremendous e-book, audio and international sales.

Thanks to Fire and Fury, negative publicity and of course Trump, Michael Wolff earned an estimated $13 million in one year, before taxes and fees, placing him number seven on world’s highest paid authors Forbes list 2018. The only newcomer and nonfiction writer on the list and the first nonfiction author to make the Forbes list in 11 years. Wolff supplemented his massive royalties with seven-figure deals for a sequel to Fire and Fury and the film and television rights; a series is in the works with Endeavor Content.

“Once a day, I cast my eyes heavenward and say, ‘Thank you for Donald Trump,” says Michael Wolff.

Negative publicity is still publicity. And yes, he has good reason to thank the President. Without Trump, Wolff would not have made Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid authors.

Michael Wolff is an American author, essayist, journalist, and a columnist and contributor to USA Today.
