Sponsors, it’s OK to tell your new prospect to start making a list of everyone he or she knows but do not encourage them to start sharing about the business until they have been properly educated.

2. Become Your best Customer. I passionately believe that you should be first partaker of your product or service. The biggest mistake you can ever make is trying to convince someone when you have not been fully convinced yourself.

People can sense that and will shoot you with the rejection bullet faster than you can say “MLM”. One thing I tell people that are my potential business partners, is that if they are not starting their business because they truly love the product and want to share the benefits with others, but simply in it for the money, please don’t sign up with

It is believed that 50% of potentially, highly, successful people never get off the starting mark because of one very lethal weapon that has taking many network marketers out with a single hit.

I would like to refer to this as a weapon of mass destruction because of its far reaching effects into the lives of these men and women who had hopes and big dreams before they were fatally hit.

REJECTION and the fear of rejection is one of the most common reasons for failure in network marketing. Every human being has the basic need for acceptance and when rejection comes, its effects are like cryptonite to Superman.

We all face rejection at some time in our lives. I have faced rejection and have discovered that there is life after rejection. If you have never faced rejection, then just live a little longer.

I believe what hurts most is that when entering into this type of business, rejection often times comes from the people we love most and respect.

These people are our spouses, are family and close friends and even our co-workers.

Aren’t these the same people you were told to build your list with? Is this supposed to be your “warm market”. Albeit cold they seem to be when approached with your business opportunity.

I honestly believe that sponsors can do a better job at preparing their new prospects for rejection much earlier on in the game. Even as early as the first presentation.

Before I present solutions and tell you how you can turn rejection into something positive, let’s further explore the forms and sources of rejection.

If you are married, your spouse can use this weapon against you to kill your business before you even get started.

If you have a prospect in mind and they are married, always share the business opportunity with both of them. Don’t think you will be more successful if you try to use the strategy of selling one of them on the business in hopes that they will be able to convince the other. It won’t happen.

Either one or two things will happen. Your prospect will in up doing the business without the support of the spouse which leads to other problems or your prospect will end up not starting the business at all. Neither one of these scenarios are good.

Rejection from family and friends are equally devastating to anyone that has just started out in network marketing.

Some of these are the same people that have told you in the past that they believe in you and will support you in all that you do.

However when presented with your business opportunity, your closest friends now avoid you like the plaque. Somehow, you get conveniently left off the list of upcoming social gatherings that you use to get invited to on a regular basis.

I'm sure that you all have experienced one form of rejection at one time in your business. You were either told “No” upfront, which definitely left no room for speculation or you were told no in a more subtle way or even a more deceptive way.

I believe the subtle or the deceptive “No” hurts the most.

You know. You get all excited because you were able to get three of your closest friends to come to your presentation or they agreed to allow you to come over to do a home presentation.

You have covered all the basis. You even called them a couple hours before the presentation to make sure they were still coming, evening offering to pick them up. Well, when you get to the meeting, not only did they not show up, but now they are not returning your calls. I’m pretty sure you know how the rest of this story goes.

I would like to give you some tools that I believe will reduce the casualty rate in your business or maybe you are a new network marketer that has been hit one too many times with the rejection missle.

1. Don’t Tell until you learn how to tell. It is very tempting to run out and start telling everyone about your business. You are so excited about all the possibilities of unlimited income and the freedom you will have to live the life of your dreams. You never get all the information in the first presentation. Educate yourself by reading ALL of the material in your startup kit and make another appointment with your sponsor to go over any questions.

3. Don’t take rejection personal. Some people may not be in the season of their life where they are open to your opportunity. Don’t take it as a rejection of you. They just don’t see the value in it for them at the momennt.

This is something we will talk about later…. But just a little side note: You may have the best product or business opportunity in the world but unless you can help them see the value for them or their need for it, you can talk till you are blue in the face and the answer will still be no.

4. What about Your Attitude? Finally, I believe the biggest key to overcoming rejection and not letting it overcome you, is your attitude. If you keep the focus off of yourself and always about your prospect, the no’s and no shows will be like “water off a duck’s back.”

Remember that “your attitude will determine your altitude".
