Even the best MLM recruiters will not enroll every prospect into their MLM business.
Some will decide to join other opportunities, some will never take action, and there are some you really don't even want on your team anyway.
These are all valid reasons I never expect to enroll 100% of my prospects.
However, there is one excuse for not joining our team that drives me nuts.
I call it the money excuse.
Last week I received a phone call from a gentleman who had been to my website a few weeks before.
He opted in requesting more information, and had received part of a series of follow-up emails.
He said he could not afford to join our team, even though we have a basic enrollment that is only $49.
99! His main reason for passing on our opportunity was that he "cannot afford it"...
the money excuse.
No one does a better job than our team at presenting any MLM opportunity.
He had no problem with the business, the product, the comp plan or me.
Just the money.
I told him that feeling he could not afford it was the very reason he should join our team.
I could not think of a more compelling reason he needed to join us than the fact that he felt he could not come up with $49.
99.
When a prospect tells me they have reviewed our team, our business, our marketing system, and my personal mentoring, but have decided on another opportunity, I'm OK with that.
If they were an excellent candidate, I will be disappointed.
Sometimes I will even be surprised.
But I'm OK when they don't join us.
I know I can't get them all.
At least they made an informed decision.
And I've got my marketing to the point where I always have more good prospects going through my system each day than I have time to follow-up with.
But when they say they cannot afford it, it really drives me nuts.
That's the poorest excuse there is, usually used by those you don't want on your team anyway.
Over the years, I have learned there are only a few options for those prospects who use the money excuse.
And I am now very blunt with them.
If they are really serious about creating a better future, they will find a way to get started, no matter what the enrollment cost is.
If they are not that serious, they should probably remove themselves from my list and quit wasting my time.
You should take a similar approach also.
Use a system that presents your opportunity properly.
Keep your pipeline full of qualified prospects.
You won't have to waste time with MLM prospects who use the money excuse.
