===================================
Handling Objections....
===================================
There is no avoiding objections, at some point in the
business, it is going to happen. I'm not going to lie, it
is going to happen a lot if you haven't already figured
it out. That's not important though, the important thing
is, that when it does happen, that you don't get all butt
hurt about it, but instead, keep moving on because,
honestly, it is not the end of the world and you don't
want everyone to say yes anyways, because if everyone
said yes, you wouldn't have a business, you would have a
job.
I mean, think about it, there are billions of people in
this world for you to show your business to. Why should
you get all bent out of shape because one of them said
no. This business is not for everyone and you have to
understand that. Some people actually like being broke, on
a subconscious level, at least. It is unbelievable, but
true. It is a fact of life that you have to accept now.
So, when people do object you, don't take it personal.
Most people don't like change, and MLM is a big change
for them because it goes against all the programming they
had received as a child, which is that the only way
to be successful in life is to go to school, so you can
get a good job, so you can be filthy rich, which is usually
not the case at all. It is amazing that so many people
follow this formula when hardly anyone ever achieves the
last part by following it. I don't know about you, but
most of the people that I know that followed that formula
are broke, busted, and disgusted.
Furthermore, the key to getting past objections is to go out and get
more. I guarantee you that in the middle of all those NO's,
you are going to get a few YES's, it is inevitable. The
people that are most successful in this business are the
ones that got the most objections. They worked through the
numbers, and that is what you have to do as well. With
more NO's also come more YES's, so don't fret. The more
you show, the more you grow. Remember that!
In order to minimize your objections be prepared with a few
basic questions and answers when you get your initial
contact. A good idea is to come up with an objection
worksheet that list all possible objections that you
think you might hear and write suitable answers for them.
Some of the questions or objections people may come
up with...
- Is it MLM?
- Can you tell me more?
- What kind of Company is it?
-I don't have the money...
-I don't have the time...
-I don't think it's for me...
- Do I have to sell stuff?
There are two ways you can go about answering these
objections. You can either use direct responses,
followed by a question or you can use the feel, felt, until,
I saw, heard, read, met, tried, then I found method. This
method goes as followed...
The prospect says, well, I don't have the time, and you
say, " you know what, I felt the same way, until I
actually tried the business out, and then I found that
the point of the business is to give you the time freedom
that you want by creating a leveraging system that creates
more time as your business grows. It's amazing!"
Lastly, a point I really want you to take note of is that you
don't want to answer too many questions, because one question
leads to another, and another, and eventually they will say
I'm not interested. If they say that, you have said too
much, after all, what aren't they interested in, they haven't
even seen what you had to offer. If they ask you what the
business is about, tell them, you know what, I can't even
put it into words, it just won't do it justice, it's
something that you will definitely want to see for your
self.
Far too many people make the mistake of trying to explain
the whole business on the first contact, which is a fatal
mistake because 90 percent of the time you just scare them
away because you said too much, or you answered to many of
their objections. The point is to let them see for themselves,
this is the most effective way of incorporating them into
your business.
