Home Based Business Lie Number Three / For MLM'ers And Network Marketers Only




By: Jane Quade

Here we go with Big Fat Lie Number Three:

You must talk to everyone you meet because everyone wants what you have.

Does this sound familiar? If you've been in this industry more than a few months it should.

It's called the Three Foot Rule.

Reps and associates are taught by their companies to talk to everyone with three feet of where they are at.

Here are so alleged proven techniques to find prospects with using the Three Foot Rule.

1. Stand in the longest grocery line so you'll have more time to talk to people. A

2. Get to your doctor or dental appointments early because you never know who you are going to meet in the waiting room. Just what someone wants who's waiting with a sick, miserable, cranky child. Thank goodness no one ever did this to me because it wouldn't have been pretty.

3. When you meet a co-worker or prospect at a coffee shop or restaurant, don't find a table in the corner where you can talk in private, make sure you are right in the thick of it and talk loudly so everyone hears you because of course they will be so intrigued with your words they will come up to you and beg for information.

4. When the waiter or waitress serves your meal, share your business opportunity with them because they have to hate the degrading job of waiting on people.

This stuff may sound silly but this is really what is being taught out there. I even had one of my mentors tell me that if they fog a mirror, they are a prospect.

Do NOT be fooled. Not everyone wants what you have. Not everyone is interested in your fabulous product or phenomenal service. And not everyone is interested in becoming a millionaire by working hard in the next 12 months.

You must find those people that have a true want, need and/or desire for your product or service.

Even McDonalds, when they advertise on TV, are advertising to a niche market. They are marketing to little kids who want a toy with their chicken nuggets. They are marketing to soccer moms on the run who want to buy a quick meal for their kids that isn't going to throw them off budget for the entire week. But believe me, not everyone wants to eat at McDonalds every day or any day for that matter.

So how do you find your niche market? How do you find your prospects who really want what you have? By using everyday, ordinary marketing techniques that all the top-guns in the industry use.

And here's the great news. Most of them are free.

Just another reason why MLM and Network Marketing companies don't like people like me. They don't want people like me teaching you this stuff because they will lose a ton of business on their little side-bar industries.

So why don't the companies teach this stuff to you and I? Because they know that they will lose the average person who finds out that to build a successful business, you really do have to put in the time and educate yourself on the business and the industry. Instead, they want everyone to think that you really can work this business in your spare time. I recall my upline telling me that if I would just work this business in the nooks and crannies of my life, in no time I'd be pulling in 6 figures. Well, I don't know about you but I don't have any nooks and crannies in my life. When I do find those I try to use them to sleep...

So stay tuned for more information on this topic coming out this next week.
