One sign that you are using too much pressure on trying to get a prospect into your business is when he/she is leaving fingernail lines on their wall in an attempt to avoid being dragged into your business opportunity.    You cannot let go.   This one could be the BIG ONE.  The one that will be responsible for your being able to afford to buy the entire State of Rhode Island.  (Don’t worry , I ‘m packing.)

This dragging process into your mlm / network marketing business can take other forms. Here are but a few:

·        Matter of fact, I just hung up from a pre-recorded telephone voice broadcast.  The first question (of course) was whether or not I could use an extra $1,000 or $2,000 per week.  At the end of the message I was told that I had to call this 1-800 number right away or someone else would be called with this opportunity.  Let’s be honest, thousands of some “elses” would be called by Mr. Robo-Caller.

·        Another form to catch a whole lot of prospects to join your network marketing company is the email process.  I mean, are we not all waiting for another networker to send us an invitation to join their Best-Better-Best Opportunity?  (Isn’t this a prime reason that we hide our private email address and use some WhackyAddress @ gmail.com?)  And, don’t you love it when they add a line about how they will make it big in their particular business opportunity with us or without us?  I would always wonder why they are wasting their time contacting me if they will make it big without me.

·        One of my absolute favorites is the “check this out for me” maneuver.  You receive an email from a dear friend (that has become your best Facebook friend no more than 20 seconds ago) stating that he recently got involved with a network marketing venture and would greatly appreciate your taking a look at it and giving your honest opinions before he got too far involved with it.  I like these best of all because my response is a standard one: “You joined it, therefore you are already too far involved.  Best wishes for your success.  Andy”  After that response, don’t rush back to your inbox looking for his response as he has gone on to greener prospects, er, I mean greener pastures.

In our current environment, especially utilizing online marketing more and more to build our businesses, think about building a relationship first and building your business second.  The age of clubbing a prospect over the head and dragging him/her into your business opportunity is over.
