[Brother Kaleem Company: Magnetic Sponsoring Contribution Level: 3]

You got a check last week, or you didn't.

Your downline is bigger than it was last month, or it's not.

You sponsored at least one new person last week, or you didn't.

There are at least a couple of people on your frontline sponsoring people too... or not.

In other words, it's working for you... or it's not.

In most cases, the answer is "not".

What gets me is when people don't seem to "get" that it's NOT working.

Not only are they not even in the ballpark, they're not even in the game.

Not to know is bad; not to want to know is worse.

And the worst part is, as long as they choose ignorance, they can't make money, and neither can you.

...Is it just me ???

What can you say or do to people who don't know what they don't know?

It's not what you can say to them, but rather what you can say to yourself...

"They don't get it, I need to be with people who DO get it, I'm moving on..."

You can't Kaleem.

The timing has to be right for them.

Logic doesn't work when their minds are so focused on what they believe is the truth.

One thing that does work is stories. People connect with stories and they can be powerful little tools that worm the message into the heart of the people who's brains are focused elsewhere.

My advice? Don't sweat it. The really intelligent ones will come around, eventually.

Onwards,
Joyce Penner

Hello,

You can't force or get anybody to do anything, you can chain a donkey to a pole in a college class but that does not change the donkey..

They have to be ready, they have to ask, if they do not ask, it will not open to them.. (uhmm sound familiar?)

Hi Kaleem,

You need to leave people alone who don't get it. Not everyone will and that is why it's called an opportunity. We can only control what we do and not how others respond. If someone is not open now you can ask if they will allow you to follow up in the future. Sometimes it may be the right person but not the right time. Have a great day!

Peace, Health and PRosperity,
Barb Doyle, Sc.

People "get it" [or don't] at their own pace. All you can do is drip on them to see if things eventually change.

Find people that are looking for you - not those you have to drag over the starting line - nevermind the finish!

Pain & money are two of the great motivators, but sex is a close third. HA!

But seriously, I used to teach my 3 three old son until I was blue in the face to wash his hands before we eat. I would tell him over and over again "Wash your hands, you don't want to get sick". I thought to myself why can't he just think about it on his own. How do you get through to him...he just doesn't get it!

Then I started backing off because telling him obviously wasn't working but I'd make sure he saw me go into the bathroom, before we sat down to the table. I would raised his curiosity or "catch his eye" before washing my hands. He would follow and do what I was doing. I have found that leading by example is a very powerful way to "get through to people" as it breaks down barriers of communication.

No use in talking to a brick wall. Leave them information about your business and a card. Then move to the next person. Network Marketing is about sales but it is a number's game as well. The more people you speak to the better

Some Will, Some Won't, So What...who's next?...Because there's always someone waiting to hear from you.

Getting back to your original topic. I found out that I was doing something in error. After all these years of doing this business, I found something that I had not been doing. I readjusted my business cards and went on. I never thought that my target market did not use, as many of us do not, have access to a computer. I adjusted and added a service contact number. Later, I found something else that I had not been using. I also learning to talk to more people and introduce myself. Doing things out of my comfort zone has really put me in the outfield. Whether it works, time will tell. All I can do is to continue to talk to people and get comfortable talking to people and introduce myself and later my products. I am in a new town and starting over with day one.
This is not a business to get rich quick but not to quit just when you are making a name out there for yourself. I just saw a video conference call where she said most of your business will still come from your offline market. You have closer contact with your warm market. The online market is more subject to come and then drop out. So what if people just don't get it? Just keep going until something turns up! Don't quit now you just might be near your next person who will say yes to your offer
