MLM Success Tip #26 "Always point to someone else"

To try and do this business by yourself would be a huge mistake.

Friends and Family trust you, because you are a "friend and family". Nothing more.

It doesn't mean that they completely believe what you are saying. However, if a 3rd party came along and verified that everything you said was "truth" they would gladly accept what you said as possible gospel.

It never ceases to amaze me how someone that my friends and family DON'T KNOW, whom they JUST MET, whom they JUST LISTENED TO ON THE PHONE will immediately trust that person. Why is that?

Think of it like this......would you do business with your neighbor? Maybe? Maybe Not? However, if you witnessed your neighbor taking the garbage out in his underwear every day, with a cigarette hanging out his mouth and a can of beer in his left hand....would you do business with him? Yes? No? What Changed?

Your family and friends LOVE you.....but they might not completely TRUST you. They know you at your BEST, but they have also seen you at your WORST. Therefore in ANY business you add a 3rd party.

You can do this through a 3-way phone call, you can do this by bringing in a public speaker or expert to speak on a subject, you can use CD's, conference calls, websites, and so on.....

In this business it's important to get OUT of the drivers seat and hand the keys to your sponsor and let them HELP you get to your first 2-3 income levels.

Don't feel bad about it either. Because you will be doing the same exact thing with your business associates and partners and team members.

Always point to someone else......and likewise.....they will always be pointing back at you.

Its a business of giving.
