We are all committed to building our home-based business and we love our company, our products and sharing our great business opportunity. No doubt you will or have already come across people who look at direct selling with skepticism and may do so because of a lack of education about the industry. Some have heard negative feedback from someone who started a home-based business and was not successful. This individual may blame the company, the business model or their upline. You may have heard them use such terms as "scam", "pyramid" or "rip-off".
Here is your chance to educate others about what an illegal pyramid is and why a legitimate direct selling company is not a scam but an amazing method of marketing that financially rewards individuals who distribute the products for the company.
Exposing The Roots Of Skepticism
If you find yourself discussing the issue, keep in mind that your listener's skepticism may be a result of fear; fear of success or fear of failure. They may have attempted to work with a network marketing company previously and either the company failed or they did. Ask questions around their experience with the attempts at direct selling. What kinds of things they would do differently given another opportunity. Ask if they know of anyone who has been successful in network marketing. Help them to discover the possibilities and look at direct selling in a new light.
Listen very carefully and never get defensive. You are not here to defend network marketing. Find common ground you can share with them.
Build Credibility with these examples:
1. We have been in business for X years
2. We are a publicly traded company
3. Our company is debt free
4. Our company has a long range business plan
5. We have X distributors in the company
6. Our company has expanded into X number of countries over the past few years
7. The company requires you to carry little or no inventory
8. The company has an excellent training and support program
