Explosive Network Marketing Jumpstart (Part 5 of 6)

3.5 Making Your First Call

You've now prepared a comprehensive presentation for your product. And should anyone challenge you about the program or ask a detailed question, you're ready to respond to it in depth and accurately. So what's next?

Making your first call is next. If you've never been involved in network marketing in the past, this is probably an extremely anxious, nerve-wracking time for you. You actually have to call your first person and present to them everything you have learned about your product and about the network.

Don't let this discourage you. Additionally, don't let the outcome discourage you, either. There's a good chance you will be flatly rejected by your first lead. And there's an even bigger chance that the lead will lose interest at some later point in the conversation, regardless of how well your call goes. But this is all part of the numbers game. In order to succeed in network marketing, you must be rejected many times more.

So make that first call and be confident about your position, your product, and your opportunity. At worst, you'll end up crossing a name off of a list of 100 and moving to the second name. In fact, if they reject you earlier, that might be better than later; it'll save you some time.

Now, with that being said, it is still important to carefully react to various problems the person you're calling presents. Just because the person on the other end of the phone is raising issues does not mean he or she will not accept the opportunity; it just means that he or she must be given sufficient evidence. And it is your job to do this through the call.

Whatever you do, keep in mind that the outcome of the first call is not necessarily reflective of how successful you will ultimately be. Whatever happens, continue to plow through that list of 100 names undaunted.
