Scripts
New members are the life blood of your business and
the very key to a large residual income. One of the
very best ways to get new leads is by asking people
for a few referrals. Oddly enough, these don’t have to
be people who are interested in you or your business.
They can be someone you just met, someone you know, or
even someone who said no to your business. Keep in
mind that although the average mature person knows
more than 2,000 people, our root problem is still that
we don’t know enough people! However, every person you
talk to knows hundreds of people you don’t know.
Everyone has the potential to lead you to someone who
would get excited about some aspect of your business -
all you have to do is ask!
Here’s a simple script you can use to get referrals
from those who told you no about the business: “Hello,
Bob, this is ______________. We spoke a few months ago
about how glutathione is so closely connected to
improved immune system performance, and how immunocal
is helping many people enhance their levels of
glutathione.”
“At that time you weren’t interested in participating
yourself, and I respect that decision. But it would
mean a lot to me if you could point me to a few people
you know who might be interesting in feeling better,
or encouraging their immune system to help them with
complex health problems like asthma or arthritis or
cancer or some other form of autoimmune disorder.
Would you be willing to help me out?”
Be sure to include “… someone who would like to look
better …” because of the emotional tie this will
produce. Using a script like this, there’s virtually
no limit to the number of people you could talk to,
and a percentage of those people will happily give you
referrals. Since your business is still “a numbers
game,” the more people you present the option to, the
more associates you will find. (Keep in mind, that
although our product produces stunning results with
people’s immune system, he does not KNOW that. It is
helpful to mention again some of the experiences you
know about where someone with greatly helped .
Something may have changed in his/her life since you
spoke last and they may volunteer themselves.)
Look at the Numbers
Let’s be very conservative and say that after tracking
your numbers, you know that you need to make 5 initial
contacts in order to find 1 new customer.
Keep track of how many people you need to call in
order to get 1 referral. Assume that for every 5
people you speak to, one gives you an average of 2
referrals. Therefore to get 20 referrals, you’d need
to call 50 people in order to find 10 who would give
you 2 names each. These 20 referrals should lead you
to 4 new customers.
HINT! Ask 5 people a day for referrals and it could
lead you to 12 additional new customers a month, over
and above your normal production !!!
Although the average mature person knows more than
2,000 people, our root problem is still that we don’t
know enough people, especially talented, motivated
people! And guess who some of those kind of people are
- someone who is soliciting you! And, every one of
them knows hundreds of people you don’t know. Because
they usually work for a telemarketing firm that makes
their job challenging, they are often open to a short
discussion about something compelling that can add
some income. And many will know others in their group
or circle of influence who need what we have.
So don’t be turned off by someone trying to sell you
something — they are some of the most courageous,
talented, and motivated people you can find. Consider
these people as a precious resource — and they
already know what they’re doing.
One of the most successful people I know in network
marketing responds to all “solicitor calls” that he
can. When he can’t work them right then, he responds
with something like this:
“John, let me stop you just a moment. I’m really
impressed by the way you handle yourself and I’d like
to know more about what you’re doing, but I don’t have
time right now. Would you do me a favor and tell me
how I can get back to you when I have a few minutes?”
(Or “would you e-mail me something so that I can get
back to you?”) Then he can work the valued lead when
time is more appropriate.
When you have contact information in your hands, you
have a lead to someone who may be the most creative,
courageous, prepared, person you will meet that day.
What’s more, since they’re trying to make an
impression, they probably came with a more receptive
attitude than others you met.
When you are sharing something that requires a
decision, remember how some people stall around for
days, even after they’ve decided to do something? This
wastes so much of your time following up and checking
back that your frustration level is almost exceeded.
One of the most overlooked options we have to
encourage people to take action now is to ask them to
do you a favor. It is a powerful motivator for people
we know — and even a stranger will often extend the
courtesy.
Assuming that you’re asking people to do something
that will be good for them — save money on their
healthcare costs — and they are leaning toward a
favorable decision, save yourself a lot of time and
frustration by learning to feel comfortable asking
them to “do you a favor and help your business” by
enrolling.
The phrase you choose should probably be committed to
memory so that it will be executed smoothly. It can be
something like this:
“John, may I ask a HUGE favor?” (Stress the word huge)
Be quiet and let the person respond.
“Assuming what I’ve shown you makes sense, based on
our relationship, would you do me a personal favor and
support my new business by giving this a try?”
Be quiet and let the person respond.
You will want to develop your own phrase to suit your
personality, but the essential elements are (1) ask
permission for the favor (2) some positive assumption,
(3) ask the personal favor, and (4) try it out.
Since most of us are conservative by nature, we will
suffer slight discomfort the first few times we choose
to use this powerful tool, but I can assure you that
once you see how much time it saves and satisfaction
it creates, you will not regret the change. I know of
one entire company that has used this concept as their
central theme since the early 90’s to build a HUGE
business in, of all markets, long distance.
