Prospecting 101

#1 Understand the Rules It’s not about begging, convincing, coercing or forcing someone to buy the products! It’s not about “making a sale!

It is about THEM! Focus on the Individual– you are actually selling yourself! People need to Know YOU, Like You and Trust You!

What would YOU do? You are playing basketball with some buddies. One of them falls and hurts his shoulder, what would you do?

What would YOU do? You are with your kids/grandkids at the local corn maze. The little boy in front of you gets stung several times by a wasp and is screaming, what would you do?

#3 Ask Your Power Question “What do YOU do for a Living?”

What Will YOU Say? Take a minute, think about what you would say if someone asks you what YOU do?

Don’t let the conversation stay on you, keep it going back to them! “I teach others how to take care of their health with essential oils, so….tell me more about…..”

“The opposite of Success is NOT failure; it’s mediocrity. Failure is actually a part of the process to success. And to reach true success in our profession (or any profession worth doing), you must be willing to pay that price—the price of building skills and character.” ―Randy Gage “Making the First Circle Work”

Don’t be Afraid to OPEN your Mouth! You can Achieve ANYTHING you put your mind to!
