No Fear - Calling Network Marketing Prospects
Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on July 19th, 2007 In our Watkins business, we have an online information site that prospective Watkins associates can visit and view information about our business opportunity. We receive leads through this site, and many of them provide a phone number. We encourage our downline associates to call these prospects as soon as possible after they visit our site. However, many Watkins associates find it hard to make that call, and prefer to make contact by email instead.
At one time, that was me. I dreaded making that phone call, even though these were prospects who chose to take a look at Watkins, and who expressed a solid interest. I used to communicate with prospects mostly by email - I was simply afraid to get on the phone. However, that changed almost overnight. There was a moment in time when my fear of making those calls virtually disappeared. I can’t say I wasn’t still a little nervous about it, but I no longer hesitated to call and I started to sponsor more of my prospects.
What happened that made me change? It is the same thing that can happen to you, and can literally change your outlook and your success with your business.
My defining moment came after a very l-o-n-g week at work. I was really tired, frustrated, and knew for sure that I didn’t want to do that forever. It just hit me - I could either make those calls and do everything possible to build my business, or work at that job (or one like it) FOREVER. I wanted freedom. From that moment, I looked forward to making those calls, knowing that each call brought me one step closer to ultimate success with Watkins.
My point - you can overcome any fear of calling or talking to prospects. Just build your dream, get excited enough, build a desire to have a different lifestyle, and want it really bad. When you get serious about your business, and know why you want to make it work, many fears and obstacles will vanish!
