HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY APPROACH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

We have a famous saying in hindi “GHAR KI MURGI DAAL BARABAR”. The same is explained well by the saying,” ONE CAN’T BE THE PROPHET IN HIS HOMETOWN” and because of this we generally are very hesitant and skeptical about discussing the opportunity of network marketing with our family members especially when it comes to talking to our uncles or elder brothers and for that matter anybody who has seen you grow. If you happen to pick up the courage or the confidence to tell them the benefits of the network marketing industry and your products which is being offered by your company, you often hear remarks such as,” YOU ARE SEEING THIS TODAY, YOU’RE A KID, WE HAVE TRIED MANY SUCH MONEY MAKING SCHEMES AND BLAH BLAH BLAH”. What to do to recruit our family members and relatives to enroll them into our program? 

Well, following ways might help you in overcoming this problem:

  I.            Make a compliment to the family member:
You should start the talk by appreciating his efforts for pushing you to do things and standing by you whenever you decided to do something new. You tell him/her that you always feel that he/she has got my back no matter what because we are family. If it is appropriate for your family then you can always start the invitation by appreciating them on the values of validation, support and encouragement, then the rest of the invitation will go very well. But the compliment has to be a sincere one.

      II.            Use an approach that asks for their help:
You might be a big shot on other things but when you give a sincere compliment to a family member, he/she would want to listen to that again as everybody likes to be complimented. So when you ask for their help in anything after giving a compliment and praising them they will invariably say yes to you and will ask you what kind of help you need.
Then you can tell,”I have got enrolled into a program with a business opportunity and I don’t know all the answers yet and I’m scared to death for facing a stranger who could all kinds of questions to me about which I don’t know. So I want you to help me out in practicing the details as I need a familiar face to do it comfortably and grow in confidence. Will you allow me to show my products to you and help me make my presentation better?” This way your presentation will be covered.

    III.            Use the third party tools to do the follow up:
You should refrain yourself to use your own words and show them that you are an expert. You should use third party tools like a magazine or a book on network marketing or a video of testimonies or anything which will convey the things you want to convey to that person without telling them yourself. This third party can be your upline or any senior associate of the organization you are working with. Before inviting that person you should edify him – make his gravity and explain your family member that he/she is a respectable person and immensely successful. ( for learning how to edify you can go through this link- “EDIFICATION” )

THE ABOVE THREE STEPS WILL HELP YOU OUT IN RECRUITING PEOPLE FROM YOUR FAMILY AND CLOSE FRIENDS AND THIS BUSINESS IS A BUSINESS WHICH IS DONE WITH CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY ONLY. SO, ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR WONDERFUL & SUCCESSFUL FUTURE. I HOPE THAT THIS ADVICE WOULD COME FOR GOOD USE.
