You know asking someone to buy from you the first time you meet them is like going on a blind date and asking the person to marry you! How many times have you met someone and immediately tried to sell them on your products or opportunity? If this is a practice of yours, what type of results are you seeing?
If you think about sales (in any form) as building long-term relationships through trust, it takes away the "need" to make an immediate sale. So how do you build trust? Just as someone on a blind date would go through several stages (dates) before making a commitment, so goes the effective sales process. I want you know me, like me, trust me.

Here's one example of stages to build trust:
1. Initial contact -ask person if they would be willing to sample product
2. Second contact - ask for feedback on the product; thank them for their input and ask if you can put them on your email list for product specials
3. Third contact - send email a few days later with special offer
4. Fourth contact - call and ask for the order
5. Fifth contact - follow-up in a week to see how they are enjoying the products
6. Sixth contact - check back in two weeks, ask for reorder and suggest client purchase additional products
7. Seventh contact - when it's time for a reorder, call and show client ways to purchase product at a discount
8. Eight contact - the following month show client how to get product for free by selling to family and friends.

This is only an example to go by.

As you can see, this process can take several months to move someone from a stranger to a team member. Think about any business or personal relationships that you've formed. How long did it take for you to build up trust to the point of being willing to open up your heart or your wallet ?

Seek the relationship - not the results
Seek the people - not the profits.

Good post,

I follow a smilar model.

1) Postcards out to fresh leads
2) Autoresponder, E-mail every day for 1st 10 days
3) I start calling to introduce myself
4) Last e-mail "Frankly, I'm puzzled"
5) E-mail Every other day for 2 weeks
6) E-mail Once a week for next 4 weeks
7) E-mail Once a month for next year

Some time in-between,they may visit my primary MLM website, in which I will call them again and usually prospect them. If not interested....

I will do e-blasts to entire list throughout the year giving out free e-books, freebies, etc to continue to build relationships.

Eventually, they sign up....

Or..

They stay broke

Happy Prospecting,
William Whitlow

Joe Schroeder put it this way:

Give Your Prospects More Reasons To Believe You

according to him, this could take two minutes, two days, two months, or even two years...

and aint that true?

You Can Have The Most Lucrative Compensation Plan In The World, With The Most Revolutionary Product On The Planet And The Greatest Upline Ever - But If You're Care More About Profits than People, Results than Relationship, None Of That Matters.


Are you more concern about yourself than others?


Are you more concern about making money than making friends?

Are you working on being rich than being better?

Tick Tick Tick

Think About It!
