No one likes a sales pitch. They can detect a pitch coming at them from a mile away. And usually they run as quickly as they can. Going straight to a pitch is the worst way to build a bond with someone. It shows you have little regard for their space and time.
A better tactic is the un-sales pitch. The un-sales pitch is all about providing useful information to help others which creates trust and increases your traffic. When you first start talking to someone it should be your goal to get to know the person, ask them about their business or what their goals are of starting a business, get them engaged and talking to learn what’s important to them. Jumping the gun and learning nothing about the person will not bring you return business or referrals, in face it makes them feel pressured and they’ll run for the hills.
People tend to be quick to walk away from a home networking business. Leading off with a sales pitch without developing the relationship will usually lead to rejection. The idea with network marketing is to promote yourself and build relationships. The more information you can provide on your site that is useful to them without trying to get them to join, the more likely they will visit your site more often and eventually join of their own accord.
If you are not sure what to put on your website try writing “how to” articles. People that are in home businesses are always looking for help to grow their business and “how to” articles are a great way to get them to come back to your website on a repeat basis. They will start to follow your articles and become permanent fixtures on your site. You also want to try to get people to interact with you and a great way to do that is by letting people post comments about your information. It’s also very important to respond to each and every comment to start building the relationship with that person.
You are attempting to educate them about how network marketing can help them in the same way it did you. They will have many questions as to how it all works, what they get out of it, how much work they will have to put into it and how much money they can make. These are the most common concerns that most people have. Other concerns may be that they believe they are not good at marketing. They do not think they have enough friends or contacts. If you provide articles or other content that will show people how to build and advertise their business you will create a loyal follower.
Network marketing can be a lucrative business and the more followers you have on your site, the more likely you can build your down line with actual members who are making money for you.
