Low Lying Fruit Pickers

I had the opportunity yesterday to spend the day in Des Moines both training people on the "teamworkfirst" team and showing the opportunity to another friend....and guess what happened? I was cross recruited TWICE!!!!!! It's amazing what happens as you start working your business. The "cross marketers" come out of the wood work. These are people that try and pull you away from what you are doing and plug you into their business.

It really is amazing and I refer to these people as "lazy marketers". Instead of listening to what you are doing and saying..."that's fantastic" they try and get you to a meeting, get you to their website. (And I don't think there is ANY problem is swapping information as long as the other person is sincere in checking out YOUR information too). These lazy marketers want a free meal. They figure if you are already doing a business that you are the EXACT kind of person that they need...someone who wants to work a business....this is called "picking low lying fruit". Why wouldn't you listen, smile, and affirm them in what they are doing and move on. You can easily put that person on a drip list and get back to them at a later date. Check in quarterly with them and see how the business is doing. For the most part....a person is convicted in what they are doing.

If you are to be successful in anything you do, you need to stay focused. You need to stay in the game and give it 100% for at least 6 months to a year. Give it time to work. In fact, give YOURSELF time to work. Clear your mind of all the opportunities out there (and there are MANY) and stay focused on what you are doing.

Don't let 'low lying fruit pickers' pull you off the fast track to success. Simply ask them....how long have you been in the business? How many people have you sponsored in the last month? How much volume is moving in your organization? ...If they can't answer this directly without being wishy washy...its not worth your time.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not naive enough to think that what they have to offer isn't a good offer. All I am saying is that for YOU to be successful....you need to stick with it and give it 100%. If you keep bouncing around...you'll never reap the rewards you deserve. Trust me on this one....the more successful you become in network marketing OR ANY VENTURE, the more opportunity givers will appear. There is an opportunity around every corner...and guess what? You are IN ONE!!
