I have been in the direct sales and network marketing industry for the past 6 years and there’s one thing that a lot of people are afraid of doing.
That is “selling”.
But why is it that people are so afraid to sell in network marketing? The word ‘sell’ seems like taboo amongst distributors and with prospects as well – people shiver when they hear this word or when they are required to execute it.
I’ll let you know that selling is NOT a sin – it fact it is the most important aspect of your network marketing business. Here’s why…
I notice that people, who claim they are not sales people, actually SELL all the time.
Think about it:
- What happens when they watch a great movie? They will ‘sell’ the movie like no tomorrow when they see their friends and family, right?
- How about a good perfume or an excellent restaurant?
- A good book or even a good TV show?
- Even soaps and detergents are not spared!
The bottom-line is, people are ALL born sales people, and it’s more of our ATTITUDE towards selling that makes things difficult.
They sell like crazy when they know there is nothing in it for them and all the good for the other party.
They are also afraid to sell when they feel ‘guilty’ about introducing their network marketing business to their prospects – the underlying fact is that they don’t believe that their network marketing business will help them and that is why they have such a problem with their conscience.
Let’s get things straight – if you want to help people, then make sure you SELL more!
Don’t be afraid that people will hate you for selling. You will only feel that way if you sell them something you don’t believe in and they will dislike you for sounding ‘insincere’.
Try and get the right perspective, here. Think about it! When you are selling, is your product good? Can your product help people? Can your business opportunity change their finances? Is what you are offering going to change their lives for the better?
If it does, then congratulations! You should not be afraid to sell. Instead you should sell it even more so that you can help as many people as possible!
I have personally trained a few of my members and they have gone on to become network/internet marketing gurus. And it all started from me selling them a product or my business opportunity.
They bought my products and attended our trainings.
If they have never purchased our products in the first place, they wouldn’t have attended our training and receive our guidance. They wouldn’t be where they are today!
If you shift your mindset to helping people instead of selling, then you won’t be afraid to sell your network marketing business anymore.
