How many times have you looked online and seen a really great home busines opportunity video and wondered if the person in the video was REAL?
To test if this was the case you then went all out and signed up on their website which took you to their home business site and you eagerly enter your name, email address and phone number in the hope of them getting back to you because you got lots of questions to ask before you join up, and then you wait, and wait, and wait, and wait.
The phone call never comes, but you get loads of autoresponder emails from them which don't really tell you alot about the person or the business you are buying into.
People hate automation!
Have you ever tried to talk to someone at your bank and you get these smart phones that 'speak to you' telling you to PRESS 1 for Balances, PRESS 2 to make a payment etc… then when they get around to Press 9 for an operator….
I don't know about you, but I just want to throw the phone down.
It's a bit like leaving your name and number because you want some urgent information and no one get's back to you and you get equally frustrated because they are leaving you emails but are not calling you.
So, here's where I get real. If anyone who wants to know more about what I do and my business, and they take the time to leave them their contact details, you are going to get a call. That is how I successfully sponsor people into my business.
It is easier to speak to someone who is willing to speak to you than to 'cold call' on someone who is not really interested.
People who leave their email address and phone numbers show that they are interested in what you have. This makes it easier as a sponsor for you to call them and go through your home business opportunity with them.
They just need to get you on the phone to build rapport, and to soothe themselves that you are a REAL person, and that they are not just going to send of for a product or service and never see their cash again.
They want to be assured that there is someone accountable on the other end of the phone.
This is where you will gain big points and credability when you pick up the phone and talk to prospects.
This is equally important for you too to speak to your prospects. You can then position them to see if they are just curious or serious. Me, personally I only with with the serious ones. Those that can give me an 8 or above as to how they feel about starting a home business with myself.
Anything less I direct them back to my site and leave them my details should they wish to contact me once they are ready to start a business online.
This is something I have learnt both from Mike Dillard's BlackBelt Recruiting I prefer not to waste time with someone who is not going to benefit you or your business, on those that will benefit themselves and YOUR business.
Most 7 figure income earners advocate that you talk to people, after all how else are you going to attract leads into your business. Just because you have an online business does not mean you have to tie it to online activities. Offline skills are equally as important, after all how else are you going to utilise your 30 second elevator pitch….
