MLM Basics – How not to sell.

So you have a Home Based Business. Now what do you do? Your Sponsor tells you to go out and SELL your opportunity. Right?  Don’t do it… The reason is this. Ask yourself if someone approached you like you are taught to approach others, would you like it? I don’t think you would. It is because 92% of the population today do not like to be sold. So why sell them.

When you begin a home business there are some skills you will need to learn outside of the companies way of doing business. The company can show you the products and marketing plan, however you need to learn the mlm basics of building a business. Your sponsor may have a duplicatable system in place to help you find people to talk too, however people are your product. You will have to learn how to talk with people, what to say, how to say it and become a good listener of your prospects.

There will be obstacles that will get in the way of learning how to build a home business. Let me share with you a few tidbits that I have learned along the way that will cut your learning curve down and save you some time.

First, know that you will have to learn People skills. Contact me for a free downloaded audio on Colors To Success.

Second is that you will have to learn how to manage your time. Your most valuable asset is your time, so learn to effectively use it. When learning a new skill, make sure there are NO distractions so that you can focus your time effectively.

Third, master the art of advertising one method at a time. Become good at one thing before moving onto something new. This will cut down the confusion of what you should be doing.

Fourth, Learn to tell stories, Stories do the selling for you. You do not have to be a product expert to share a product with a customer. Share your experience and point them to a place to read about a product.

Fifth, Learn the skill of listening. People want to be heard and if you learn this skill, you will see a major increase in your sales, because your prospect will feel you care.

Building an MLM Business is work. It has become a profession that many professional people are looking into as a way to become financially free. Everyone from stay at home moms and dads to professional people, attorney’s, doctor’s etc are joining a home based MLM business today. They know it is not a selling business. It is a business where one person can learn the skills and apply them in a business and earn an income from home. It all begins with learning the skills.

To  Your Success
