Why You Should Start Brand New - Part I

Why You Should Start Brand New
Part I

If you've been in a Network Marketing/MLM home based business long enough, then you're probably no stranger at all to Tim Sales. Tim is definitely one of the "white hats" in the Network Marketing Industry.

He devotes much of his time and focus to helping people succeed in Network Marketing through his newsletter, as well as with his live conference calls.

He also helps countless thousands of people every month with his MLMBrilliance website, which is home to his much-celebrated Brilliant Compensation® and What the Wealthy Buy on Payday® movies.

So here's some soundproof advice from one of the best in the industry:

Start Brand New

Start "brand new" each time you make a phone call to a prospect...

  • Don't carry baggage from one call to the next.
  • Don't adopt your prospect's beliefs - even slightly.

If you're going to be successful you have to be solid in who you are and what you believe in. You can't be lured into believing what your prospect believes. To be really successful, you have to do just the opposite. I will tell you more about that later. Let me get back to my first point.

Don't Carry Baggage

Treat each call as if it were your first - "Don't carry baggage from one call to the next." Make yourself new again when you hang up with one prospect and get on the phone with another prospect. Let's suppose you call prospect #one and he jumps into complaining how network marketing is a pyramid. Then you go to call #two and you're actually defending network marketing to an entirely different prospect [who doesn't have that objection] instead of trying to make that person's life better. That is wrong!

Each prospect is unique, and you have to ensure that each call is unique.

Mary Kay and GM Think Pink

General Motors and May Kay, Inc. continue to work together in a relationship that's nearly 40 years old. That's right folks, the pink Cadillacs are still going strong.

To date, GM has built approximately 100,000 pink Cadillacs for Mary Kay. An example of the attention GM shows the Mary Kay account is on full display at its factory in Hamtramck, Michigan.

The plant builds about 800 pink Cadillac DTS sedans (the top award for Mary Kay's star sellers) each year.

Right now, hundreds of thousands of Mary Kay cosmetics sellers are competing for a unique trophy that has distinguished the best among them for nearly 40 years -- the keys to their very own pink Cadillac.

And next month, on a stage in Dallas, a few misty-eyed winners will claim their reward.

The honor of producing the Mary Kay Cadillac has not been lost on General Motors Corp., which through the years has fought to keep the account amid competition from suitors and a slump at its Cadillac brand during the 1980s and 1990s.

But the relationship may be equally important to Mary Kay, whose brand identity has been tied to the luxury car marque from the cosmetic company's earliest days. Rewarding top sellers with, say, a pink Lexus just wouldn't be the same.

While the pink is not so pink anymore and GM is not the same company it was when the program began, the pink Cadillac has endured as the ultimate prize for the Texas makeup purveyor as the company has grown into a global empire.

Along the way, the pink Caddy has also become an American icon, immortalized in songs by Bruce Springsteen and Aretha Franklin, dropped in movies and used as a ride for Barbie. But it is perhaps best known as an unmistakable symbol of the self-made businesswomen.

Don't Adopt Your Prospect's Beliefs...

Tim Sales:

My second point of discussion- "Don't adopt your prospect's beliefs and views"- simply means that you should be secure in what you do, because no one will ever buy something (product, service or business) from someone who is wishy-washy. Many times you will hear your prospect tell you, "I'm not a natural salesperson," or "I wasn't wired that way," or "Network marketing doesn't work," and hundreds of other comments. Does that mean you should adopt (or even contemplate) their views? No! By having a strong conviction, nothing anybody says can or should sway you.

So when you talk to a prospect who has never really studied network marketing and doesn't know the business like you do, there is no way that person can be more knowledgeable than you. Don't let their opinion throw you off on what you know and why you're in the business - no matter how "successful" they've been in other businesses.
