Hey friend. I want to talk about something that’s been on my mind for quite some time. And it has to do with when an opportunity meeting goes wrong.
When someone stands up and yells “THIS IS A SCAM.” Or when you get into a huge argument because your guest thought they were coming to see a football game…
One of the cardinal rules in network marketing is to NOT say too much over the phone when inviting your prospects to an opportunity meeting. The main reason for this “rule” is that you really don’t want to cheapen a great opportunity that might otherwise help change someones life. Another reason is that it’s usually impossible to give an effective 30 second pitch for an opportunity that will appeal to the average person.
So we’re taught to dumb it down… don’t say too much… and have lots of urgency. And for the most part this method really works to get people out to your meetings. And I do agree with not saying too much in the initial conversation because you’ll usually turn people off.
But what happens when you get lots of people to a meeting; and they either feel tricked or lied to…
