Network Marketing Sponsoring Tips – Take A Look At Yourself First!
You have to learn to get comfortable with speaking to people on the phone! Yes – it can feel strange at first, but you soon get used to it and then start to actually enjoy it!
One of the best ways to be truly happy in life is to help and empower other people. One of the massive benefits of network marketing is in its simplicity. Ironically however, it is this simplicity that people almost cannot believe, so people try to complicate it!
Remember – Network Marketing is the art and science of communicating with, building relationships with and empowering people based on their needs, not yours!
If You Are Struggling To Sponsor People – This Is Probably Why:
- You are failing to focus on the needs, wants, desires or problems of your prospects.
- If you are focusing on the company product or yourself during your conversation with the prospect – that is not how to sponsor! You need to understand your prospects needs, wants, desires and problems first.
Network Marketing Sponsoring Tips – Sample Phone Script
Questions are the answers! Questions are the single best way to get to know your prospect, build rapport and find out their needs, wants, desires and problems. The most common mistake that most people make is they talk too much to their prospect. We need to ask the right questions and listen more!
- Ask prospect – “would you be open to a side project that doesn’t interfere with what you are currently doing?” If response is positive – ask them why? (Do not go into pitching mode!)
- Ask prospect – “just curious – why would you be open to making some extra money right now?” Let them tell you their reasons why. They will now be giving you the ammunition that you need so that you can sponsor them! They are making it easy for you to offer them the solution!
- DO NOT SELL YET!
- Dig further to identify their NEED! If they say money – keep digging for a more meaningful need – money alone is not a powerful enough need.
- Once you have dug deeper and identified their need, repeat back their needs to them to summarise your understanding of them.
- Ask prospect – “so – what has recently changed in your life that now has you open to a home based business?” Wait for their answer and repeat what they say back to them to summarise your understanding.
- Ask prospect – “Why are you open to a home business?”
- Ask prospect – “What has recently changed that has you open to a home business?”
- Ask prospect – “Have you ever tried or are you currently trying to do a home business?”
- If they were involved in a home business that did not work out, ask prospect – “Why do you think it did not work out?” (find this out so that you can prevent it from happening again).
- Now bring the prospect back to their PAIN/NEED. Ask prospect “were they serious about __________(whatever their need was).” They have to say yes – they cannot possibly say no!
- Say to prospect – “IF you are serious and I could show you a way to __________(overcome/solve their need or problem), would you be open?” No-one wants to not be open and the prospect already told you they were serious!
- Tell the prospect that you are busy but you will send them some information (e-mail, webinar, video etc). Agree a follow up date and time with them (e.g. tomorrow at 8pm) and stick to it. You can answer any questions they have then, and sponsor them.
DON’T ASSUME THAT YOU KNOW THE PROSPECTS NEEDS, WANTS, DESIRES AND PROBLEMS! Remember – the conversation is almost all about them, not you, so don’t talk about you – talk about them!
Network Marketing Sponsoring Tips – Concluding Thoughts
Ultimately, to have success in network marketing you are going to need to talk and communicate with other human beings both offline and online. The more comfortable you are at asking people questions, the better you are going to be at sponsoring.
Asking questions is the best way to allow the conversation to flow with the prospect and it gets them to open up to you as to why they are ‘looking’ for something else in their lives right now.
SPONSORING AND RECRUITING IS SIMPLY GIVING PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT! If you genuinely want to help people, you are going to need to sponsor them in order to help them!
YOU MUST THINK LIKE A LEADER! Plug new recruits into a simple system – every business has one – simply ask your upline if they have a simple getting started system in place for the new person.
Network Marketing Sponsoring Tips – Summary
