How To Find The Best Prospects

Whether you are new to network marketing, or you're a business building veteran, you have probably gained a healthy respect for the value of prospects. In fact you'd probably agree it's a slam-dunk that without prospects no one can build a profitable MLM business.

But how many people are slamming their heads against a brick wall because they have a totally warped idea of any prospect's value? TONS!

What am I talking about?

I am talking about the Holy Grail of the prospect pool. Every would-be Knight of the Residual Income Round Table asks, "Where do I find the best prospect?" Or they ask , "Where can I find good quality leads".

Good And Bad Prospects Are Like Unicorns

They don't exist … until we talk to them. Here's a good example of how we change a neutral prospect into a "bad" one..

The Date You Might Get

OK gentlemen, you see a nice lady you'd like to get close to. Now suppose you use one of these ice-breakers.

1. "How much do you weigh?"
2. "Why did you dye your hair that color?"
3. "Are those your real teeth?"
4. "Have you ever considered having a face lift?"
5. "Didn't I see you working the red light district?"

Will this lady fall in love with you if you say things like these to her? I doubt it. In fact you'll probably be doing well if she doesn't slap you.

Reality Check People!

The fact is network marketing leads, your prospects, are people just like you. Chances are if you would not like to be treated the way you treat your prospects, then they will not like it either. And so they immediately become "bad" prospects.

All prospects are basically neutral … until we talk to them. It is what we say to them and how we treat them that makes prospects good or bad.

Relationship building is what this business is all about. When your prospects know, like, and trust you suddenly they become more valuable than gold.

I appreciate you,
