Dealing With Rejection in an MLM Business
Introduction With the year coming to an end, so comes the great festivities Christmas, New year, a time to spend with the family, reminisce time and of course a time of sharing and giving. But in the midst of all this we cannot be oblivious to the fact there are families preparing themselves with a barrage of excuses to the reject of the wants of their children if not themselves. WHY? Simply, they don't have the finance to buy it, they will tell them not this year, it's not your age, we got something better for you. Worse is when your kids says, My friends has it why can't I have it, and the parents look at each other coming with their best excuse ever packaged just for this moment. Though this may seem a funny scenario, it actually is not for the family saying it, it does hurt to want to give yet not able to and to know the excuses are becoming harder. T he rejection you give your child is actually a rejection you keep reinforcing within yourself, that you just cannot change your situation. I have seen many people join MLM businesses with the idea of changing that very situation, but what unfortunately they bring along is their mindset of not being able to handle rejection or to stop making excuses. It's like a virus they bring along. Rejection is the immunity that Builds our inner strength. How does one face rejection, overcome it and make it a tool for change? There are many articles on rejection, talking about how to overcome it. Truth is, overcoming rejection lies not in the reading but in the practicing. That does not mean I am saying go out there and find a rejection, the point here is, do your best, but if your best gives a result of rejection then you need to ask yourself why.Was it the client?
Did the client have the money?
But if the client needed the opportunity why would he not take it?
Was it me? Was it my posture, my Breath, my dressing?
Was I too long in my explanation?
Was I not convincing enough?
Did I come as being unsure?
Was it my presentation?
Remember one thing, before you start blaming the business which usually comes in the beginning with rejection, the plan or the product, you need to do some research, ask yourself: Are there other members in this business facing similar issues, are there millionaires or successful people in this business. If so, what are they doing differently that I am not doing. If there are successful people in this business then blaming the business is not exactly going to get you what you want. If simply means you to have to look within you. Where am I going wrong? How can they make it and I cant? If you look at the 10 reasons above, the last one was the presentation, the rest were questions very much related to yourself and your abilities. How to deal with Rejection. At times, it does not hurt to ask the prospect who just rejected you, to find out why. Simply ask them: "I am not going to ask you to join, but for my sake, please can you tell me why did you not join and be honest. Was it my presentation, was it long, was it understandable, was it expensive or was it just my approach. These questions am asking you are going to benefit me in I understanding where I need to improve for my next presentation." Don't be hesitant to ask these questions. Remember one session of finding out what needs to be corrected can drastically improve you to get 5 other presentations instead of losing them. So empty your cup, be humble about it and learn from it. Tendancy with rejection, it brings forth the Ego Army, defensive walls go up and the tone goes up hoping this last tactic of forcefulness will get it. Big difference from being stern to the point presentation and one that is lousy with a gun in the head kind of presentation. If you don't sign up then.... Its good to be stern, to the point, put your facts in a logical manner, gain the interest of your prospect rather than continue with an already distracted client. At that point of presentation, there is a power play going on. I want to sell you something and the prospect is saying you are not going to get me to buy anything. So what do you do in this situation? Forcing past his ego with your ego, is not the solution, it's more like two laser beams clashing to see who passes through first. Key aspect here is to start off humble, gain rapport, gain respect. Melt the ice to a level where beginning the presentation comes naturally and attentively. Idea here is not that being humble is a sign of weakness but rather gathering strength to be stern at the right points, usually the closing and handling objections. Maintain your energy levels. At every stage of the presentation, try to maintain your natural smile, it has both a soothing and a comforting feeling, be natural with yourself and not a hypocritical conniving sales man like smile. Enhancing The power of rejection. I will like to share a technique I use just before a presentation, to help me go through it and be in control of the presentation, handle objections and how to handle rejections. Before a presentation, much before I present I ask myself why I am doing this presentation. Why do I need this signup?
Because I am sick and tired of being sick and Tired.
I am tired of making excuses and blaming others for my state of affairs.
I am tired of looking at my wallet all the time and count the cents.
I am tired of receiving bills.
I am tired of making excuses to my kids.
I am tired of looking at catalogues, I want now.
I want my dream car, my dream house, a family vacation.
I want to fire my boss.
I want to live an extraordinary life and not an ordinary one.
These powerful sentences create a force in me that it makes me present with such intensity, I visualise what I want, with no bars hold, I present intently with all intensity, that I am not going to take no for an answer. Even the prospect can relate to you, see the passion in you whilst presenting, your tone set up to a point where the prospect feels and knows you are not kidding around. Even after that, if the prospect rejects you, you don't feel sorry or depressed for yourself, you feel angry, because this rejection is not a mere NO, it's a NO to your dreams, a NO to what you want. Instead of going one step close to your dreams that NO set it apart, back to the drawing board. Use that energy to fuel you to make you go to the next presentation with the same intensity, same passion that you will eventually get your Yes and what you want. Remember feel sorry for them for not joining you to change their lives and always know this. "A critic is a legless person teaching others how to run" Use rejection as a force of energy and not a depressor.For more information about us, please visit the website http://personalwealthcreators.com Nikhil Torul Article Source: [http://EzineArticles.com/?Dealing-With-Rejection-in-an-MLM-Business&id=5289595] Dealing With Rejection in an MLM Business
