“Let me show you how to get 100 leads a day!” Hmmm, maybe I’m an old cynic but what does that mean when you hear it? Are the leads real and how do they translate into genuine prospects and then business partners? There are a lot of folk in our profession who appear to stress quantity over quality. Seriously, could you call 100 people a day?


We all work with different lead generating systems. In the one I use, a lead is really only of value if I can call him or her. Simply opting in to a list means little. That useful lead then only becomes a prospect if the first call results in building a relationship. Note that at this point I am not talking about getting him in my business nor am I making any money from him. [click to continue…]

Most people – about 90% – are sales resistant, even if they are prospects for your business. So how can you overcome this?

In my last post I shared a question that Tom ‘Big Al’ Schreiter suggested as a way to get people to open up and say genuinely whether they enjoy what they do for a living. As I said, most people will not be interested in joining your business. The way of the entrepreneur is not right for the majority. That is a fact so there is no point in going against that and pitching everyone. It will get you a bad reputation. But if they show interest….

Let’s look at a key phrase that is often used and guaranteed to have people fold their arms, sit back and say ‘no’. “Would you be interested in?” Wow, is that a bad one. It brings up all the alarm bells. Why? Because it immediately implies that they may have to part with money or sign their lives away.

I went to a workshop with Tom ‘Big Al’ Schreiter a couple of days ago. Chatting with him afterwards, he said “I don’t really believe in the Law of Attraction that much.” Well that floored me when you think how much we all talk about attracting the right people, positive attitudes etc. but he went on to say that although all the positive self talk and dreams are important, we must develop skills to turn all the positive affirmations into success.

I think too many people who have watched the film ‘The Secret’ come away with the idea that all you need to do is to have big dreams, vision boards overflowing with pictures, loads of positive mental attitude and success is yours. Not so easy.

Like Big Al said, if you are negative you will surely push people away. But if you are positive and you are talking to a lot of people, yet still not building a big business, something is missing. [click to continue…]
