Have you had this experience: You meet someone or speak to them on the phone who is PERFECT for your downline. He/She’s got everything…
- a winning smile
- an infectious personality
- a solid work ethic
- a desire for the finer things in life
- a savvy business mind
He/She is excited by the opportunity, the light is gleaning in their eyes…you know you’ve got a potentially GREAT new member for your team…
and then they drop a ton of bricks on your toes
“Oh, wait”, they say, “This is network marketing? That’s a pyramid scheme. I can’t get involved in anything like that”
All that work. All that hope. All that time. All that money. Wasted
Back to square one.
This is the frustration of almost every failed networker. It happens over and over again, until they finally quit. And the reality is that 97% of network marketers fail in their first year for one reason or another.
Whether you’re using a company replicated website or one that is specifically designed for your target market, neither system handles the number one objection you’re going to get as a network marketer.
What’s the #1 Objection you’re going to get from prospects?
It’s the “MLM objection”!! The objection to the industry itself!
- The, — Is this a pyramid scheme?|| Objection
- The, — This sounds like a scam.|| Objection
- The, — I don’t want to get involved in one of those things.|| Objections
This is without doubt the most common objection you’re going to hear while building your business.
This is a BIG problem, wouldn’t you say?
Who cares if you have a fancy, flashy, exciting website if your prospect goes to it and the first thing they think is, – Oh, this is network marketing. I’m not interested in doing anything that has to do with network marketing.||
So then where are you? You’re stuck.
If the online prospecting system you’re considering using to build your business doesn’t deal with the #1 Objection, then it will either be completely ineffectual, or its effects in your business will be very, very limited…meaning, you’ll end up sending a lot of prospects to your online prospecting system who just disappear.
How much time do you spend on the telephone following up with prospects who have absolutely no interest in your business whatsoever. Prospects giving the impression they’re really keen, and they’ll go and look at a video tonight, and then they disappear into thin air, you can never get hold of them again.
Wouldn’t you rather speak to prospects who have been educated first on what network marketing is and most importantly, what network marketing isn’t. Educate them before they look at your primary business.
The number of people I’ve followed up with that have had their perception of network marketing completely changed through the online education system I use is amazing.
Wouldn’t you prefer to spend less time with the tyre kickers and more time with fully qualified leads. CLICK HERE for more information on how to attract more qualified leads into your business
You see most people will listen to their Aunty Joyce or Uncle Tom first and get their advice. The only trouble is that they do NOT understand the network marketing model at all. Let’s face it, if you wanted financial advice you would seek out a professional financial advisor, not your mate down the pub who is totally broke.

I know exactly what you mean John. I wasted so much time on useless leads on the phone with my previous business. I even had one guy who said to me that if I paid for him to get in he would do it. Like heck he would. He thought I was looking for a date at well. Had to be rude and put the phone down. Don't need them!

Yes, it's very frustrating as we know that these people are missing a great Opportunity that could change their life if only they would change their thinking! I've also had to battle against a very skeptical husband who is only just beginning to see that you can make an income from it if you put the work in.
Very informative post. It is so true, don’t you just get fed up with those leads that are a waste of time?
Thanks for the feedback Janet, I really appreciate it.
People’s belief systems hit the fear button before looking for the postives in business opportunities. They automatically think that they are being misled. My experience tells me that good quality, targeted leads help avoid people who want to ‘buy’ hopes and dreams rather than a business. My Lead System Pro obviously educates us to some degree but giving value and nurturing these leads into relationships works for me. Great content John
Thanks for the feedback Adrian, it sounds as if we are on the same wavelength
I too have spent loads of time on the phone with prospects who appear keen but obviously have a objection in the back of their mind. Education is key…..
I have come to believe that in this business you have to be asked. Once asked, then share …..
Hooray John, you’re up and running! fantastic… The great thing with working online is that you DON’T have to deal with those objections because people who are contacting you are usually the people who have done their due diligence and homework and are qualified leads…
It’s great! Rejection FREE!
Hi John,
Education changes everything. It sheds light, empowers and helps people to become successful with everything they do.
