Network Marketing Training- Secrets to MLM Success During the
Holidays- Part 1
by Doug Firebaugh
The Holidays.
Sometimes, in MLM and network marketing, it sees when you say
those words, network marketers shut down. They simply think that
they will start again January 1, and kick it into gear. Network
Marketing during the holidays does not exist, and they slow down
to a crawl.
Who in the world sold you on that?
That is simply a dumb thing to do.
Yes, during the holidays, people are busy, and people are going
places, shopping, and do not want to think about a home based
business many times.
But it's because of the focus of ther networker. Many mlm
distributors do not know how to work this business and hold
conversations during the holiays. Your focus must be different
than any other time of the year.
It takes a little finesse.
And you still have many things going for you that will work
totally in your favor,and help kick your mlm business into gear
the first of the year.
What 2 things are working in your favor during the holidays that
makes it easy to create success in your Network marketing
business?
1) People are in the Holiday Emotion.
Many folks are in the emotion of sentimental memories. They are
remembering past Holdays and their favorite Christmas. They are
thinking about the smell of pie and turkey. They are remembering
their childhood. They are thinking of parents long past. And
many are thinking about the Birth of Christ.
How can you move people to a real powerful emotion that draws
them to you?
Ask this:
"What is your favorite holiday memory? Tell me about it."
People really will think about this, and then will give you
their answer. And many times they get excited just thinking
about it.
Why would you ask them this?
To open them up, and let the emotion of the Holidays flow, and
draw them towards you. This simply will create an opening to
talk to them after the first of the year.
"I would love to chat with you the first of the year. I could
really use some help on something."
This simply will open the door to ask for their help in locating
some talent for your business or customers that can benefit form
your products.
2) People are in the Holiday Focus.
People are focused on many things during this time of the year.
One focus is CHANGE.
People are looking to change things more than any other time of
the year.
People are focused on EXPECTATION.
They are expecting and anticipating a great holiday season, and
also a better new year. Talk to them about the change you can
offer in their life. But set a time that is convenient for them.
People are focused on SHOPPING.
There is no better place to meet people than Holiday shopping.
Talk to them about their children. Compliment their children.
Ask them about their plans for the holidays. Ask if you can help
someone who is struggling with bags of gifts. Talk to people
about the crowds in the malls. Talk to people about the prices
of goods today. Ask people for their opinion on something you
are thinking about buying.
Shopping is a great way for men and women to meet folks who are
out and about. Especially in toy stores and books stores. These
are great places to meet folks who have kids, and are readers.
Readers and parents are great MLM prospects.
And retail clerks who are tired and harried are great prospects
to talk to about changing things in 2006.
"Is next year going to be like this year for you working in this
retail zoo? Do the crowds get to you sometimes? Here is my card.
You deserve better than this. You have an incredible
personality. Would love to chat sometime about getting you out
of here."
MLM Success during the holidays is easy and quite fun, if you
let it be. But you must keep your "radar" on to talk to folks
and to help anyone who looks like they could need a hand.
"May I give you a hand with that? Here let me help. My name is
doug, what's yours?"
The holiday season is a great time for CONNECTION.
Connect with new people to make new friends and to hold new
conversations about the future and 2006.
What a way to start the new year- with 12 new friends that want
to help you in your MLM and Network Marketing business!
