Some
Thoughts on Holiday Business Building
I’m
hearing it already from some of my fellow network marketers:
- “The
holidays are here, and I’m taking a break from business building until
after the first of the year.”
- “I
don’t want to ‘pester’ people with information about my business during
the holidays.”
- “No
one wants to hear about my products or business at this time of year.”
Do
you hear yourself in any or all of the above statements?
If
you do, let me suggest that you need to stop rationalizing and assuming, get a
major reality check and undergo a significant attitude adjustment before it’s
too late.
Successful
network marketers understand that the way to build their business is to always
put the prospect first and themselves second.
In
other words, if we can show people how our products and/or business can make
their lives better or solve a problem for them, our business success is sure to
follow, no matter what time of year it may be.
Never
“assume” that everyone you meet wants to hear your business presentation
without being asked if they are interested.
However,
most people are looking for solutions to problems that you can help them solve.
Many of them will be open to your help, if you offer it the right way.
As
you meet people between now and the end of the year, and re-connect with
friends and family at holiday gatherings, make it a point to take a sincere
interest in them and their lives.
Ask
them open-ended questions about their family, occupation, recreational
activities, etc.
People
love to talk about themselves and what is of interest to them.
As
you listen to what they have to say, you will certainly hear situations which
you can help them with through your products and/or business.
It
then becomes a matter of you simply offering them a solution to their
problem(s) or a way for them to get something they need.
For
example:
- If
I could show you a way to create a college fund to allow Marcy to be able
to attend the school of her choice in three years when she graduates from
high school, would you be interested?
- If
I could show you a product that could help eliminate the joint pain you
are experiencing, would you be willing to take a look?
- If
I could show you an opportunity to generate income which would allow your
wife to quit both of her part-time jobs would you be able to find five
minutes to view a video which explains how you can do that?
- If
I could show you a simple system to allow you to lose those last 25
pounds, would that be of interest to you?
You
get the idea.
My
message to you is that if you can find excuses to stop business building during
the winter holidays, you will find excuses to stop business building during
Easter, Memorial Day, Arbor Day, Labor Day and any other time of the year.
It
also means that you really don’t understand the concept of network marketing
and are doing it all wrong.

In
the meantime, get your head out of your assumptions, put your prospects first,
and enjoy your business growth!
