Successful Home Based Business Report

When you’re a network marketer you’re going to be taught all kinds of ways to market your business. Many of these techniques are great ways to grow your business and help you reach your goals. However, one technique that I just can’t stand is the 3 foot rule and in this article I’ll tell you why.

The 3 foot rule works like this… talk to anyone and everyone who comes within 3 feet of you about your home based business. That’s right, under this rule you should be talking to people in line at the movies, the grocery store, the dry cleaners, the bank, at PTA meetings, amusement parks, and pretty much everywhere else under the sun.

Now besides the fact that you’d never actually get home if you followed this rule it just seems to me that this is one of the reasons people are so annoyed with network marketers.

Look, when I go to the grocery store I’m going for bread not business. Sure if someone happened to stop me and ask me about my business I’d be happy to talk to them but I have to say if the shoe was on the other foot and some stranger started talking to me in the cereal aisle about residual income I’d think they were absolutely crazy!

Trust me… nobody wants to be in business with a crazy person.

The key my friend is not to talk to everyone under the sun it’s to talk to the right people. Targeted prospecting is always going to be a million times better than talking to random people in a supermarket or wearing a big flashy button that says “Ask me about my business!!!”

So where can you find targeted prospects? Online!

Online marketing is so powerful because it allows you to find tons of people who are actually interested in working from home. So you don’t have to tap strangers on the shoulder and ask them “how do you like your job?”… seriously folks… it’s creepy.

On the internet you can find forums and social groups all dedicated to people who want to find a work at home opportunity. I’ll take talking to 5 super interested people over 100 completely un-interested people every single time.

So stop using the outdated 3 foot rule and other outdated offline methods and get online today. Your prospects are waiting!

When you’re talking to people about your home based business it can be easy to do too much talking and not enough listening but if you really want to make an impression on a prospect sometimes you have to be quiet and just listen!

A lot of people like to use scripts when calling a prospect but I don’t believe you can really connect with a person over the phone if you’re bound to a script. People want to feel like you’re a real person who is interested in them not just trying to sell them on something and unless you listen up you’re never going to be that person.

Much of getting a prospect to sign up is about building a relationship with them. You may have to talk to them 5 or 10 times before they decide what they’re going to do. And when you know a lot about their life it will be easier to build that relationship.

And keeping your ears open is not limited to talking to prospects. If you listen up people will tell you that they want what you have. People are always talking about how much they hate their job or paycheck or boss and when you pay attention you’ll know exactly what to say and when to say it to them.

This doesn’t mean that you jump in front of random people in the grocery store line and force them to listen to your business plan, just pay attention for a good opportunity because they are out there!

If you’re not listening to people you might just miss out on a huge opportunity to tell someone about your business.

You might also be talking to someone who is obviously not interested. If that’s the case you don’t want to waste anymore of your time. After all as a business owner your time is valuable.

By talking less and listening more you’ll build better relationships, find more people to talk to about your business and maybe even cross a few people off your list. So the next time you find yourself talking a mile a minute about your business stop and take a minute to just listen.
