Do Your Friends and Family Run When They See You Coming

My good friend Martha Finney, co author of Best, Worst, First in Network Marketing recently asked this question of me as someone she knows is struggling with this.

What to do when your warm market run when they see you coming, and I am guessing this is because they don’t want to hear about your network marketing business.

In today’s show, let’s chat about some reasons why this might be happening, and steps you can take to correct it, and prevent it in the future.

Do Your Friends and Family Run When They See You Coming

Is there help for someone who lives in a very small rural community and says people laugh at him when they see him coming?

It’s not the size of the community; it’s something else that has happened. In this case, there is a church community involved and so it can begin to feel like saturation is involved.

Good Success Language – avoid hype, medical or income claims.

Are you selling or sharing? Are you solutions focused and asking good questions? Think about what you say and how it lands on another’s ears.

Use third party and be non attached.

How many people REALLY are we talking about who we feel are avoiding us? It could be more made up than real. And, we are allowing this to derail us from our end goal.

How have we been with our warm market and contacts in the past – are we givers or takers?

Take time to rectify the situation.

Have honest communication. Be bold, if you feel someone reacting this way – open some dialogue. Hey Joe, I sense that you are avoiding me and I just wanted to clear the air. Is something bothering you? Let’s talk about it.

This can help you jump huge hurdles.

How do you feel about Network Marketing, really? Are you proud, or fearful and ashamed?

Are you open to coaching? Most of us have “been there, done that” and want to help.

How committed are you to staying stuck, or achieving your goals?

Ultimately – feelings drive thoughts, which drive actions and that creates our results.

Bad feelings = no actions and no results.

Good committed feelings = massive action, in the right way and good results.
