Sin.
We all know what the Bible has to say about that.
But there are deadly “Sins” in recruiting that occur as well, and we make them all the time. What does SIN stand for?
Success Ignoring Nature….
That is a part of human nature….we have a tendency to ignore what we need to do to become successful in life, because we think that we are not able to ever do that…
It is the same thing in recruiting… We know what we need to do, but don’t do it as we have a tendency to Ignore success in recruiting, because we think we will never become successful at it…and we don’t do what needs to be done, and we do what is “comfortable”, and ignore what is productive.
Are you doing that?
Are you in a RUT of working and thinking, and it is affecting your recruiting negatively?
What are the “7 Deadly Sins of Effective Recruiting?”
The 5 Deadly Sins of Recruiting in Network Marketing.
1)”Not Connecting with the Prospect”.
Many folks are too busy pitching to ever present.(CLUE!!!!!) And most people don’t understand that Connecting with your prospect is a sure way to take your recruiting to a higher level.
Find a commonality with them. Let them think “He/She is like me”. Connect on anything that you have in common and then talk about it, and explore it.
This business is a business of relationships and leadership. You start building relationships by connecting and then directing. If you want to master recruiting, you must master connecting with folks and creating and emotional bond. Then you will be on your way to recruiting mastery.
2) “Not Starting in their World”.
There is a saying that we have espoused for years:
Where to Start Recruiting in MLM.
INFERNO Secret:
You MUST start in their world….and then lead them to yours.
You have to start where they are in the recruiting process…get to know their world and their life. Get to know what is important to them and what is missing in their life. Get to know their life by asking questions about it.
Seek to understand them as what they are looking for and see if you have a fit for them with your business. DON’T try to drag them into your world of MLM…you must LEAD them…step by step, exposure by exposure…
3 way by 3 way….and create a path they feel comfortable with by giving them the info they need to decide what is right for them. Start where they are in life, understand it, and then show them how you can help them change it for a better future and lifestyle….THAT is recruiting!
3) “Not Being You.”
It never ceases to amaze me how many people get into MLM and lose their brains. They try to become their uplines personality or someone else…anybody but who they are. And people can read right through the phoniness. Why?
I believe that the “Fake it till you make it” syndrome has taken over,……but most people don’t realize that it still…..is FAKE.
Be yourself and yes, strive to be good at this business, but don’t try to be someone who you are not…as folks can sense that and read right through it, and it really will make you more BELIEVABLE!
The Consistency Factor in MLM.
4) “Not being Consistent”.
Everyone is trying to “break the code” of success in recruiting…and many have… What did they find? They found what the biggest Success Strategy in MLMrecruiting is….and they have broken the CODE….
And what would that be?
CODE= Consistency Of Daily Effort
Consistency is KEY in recruiting…and most aren’t. The word Consistency in the dictionary means “the substance and make up of something”…
What is your recruiting made up of? Hopefully it is made up of CONSISTENCY.
You recruit day by day…brick by brick….conversation by conversation… Are you?
5) “Not Promoting VALUE”
. The key word is there is VALUE. People do not do much that they don’t see Value in. People do not buy much they don’t see Value in… People don’t want much they don’t see Value in…
Value is the ESSENCE of recruiting and the Essence of any decision and the foundation of it. if you show your prospect how your business will help and improve their life, and how VALUABLE you and your business will be to them…
Have the application ready…..
These are the “5 Deadly Sins of Effective Recruiting” and may I suggest you not make them…
The Price You Pay in MLM from these “SINS”.
There is a price that you will pay…like it or not…if you commit them…..
