How to Deal With "No"

Sometimes a "no" is meaningless - for example if someone says"No, we don't have a certain type of soda in this restaurant" or "No our store doesn't have another shirt in your size." The initial impact of hearing no may be irritating, but no more than that. Thirty seconds later you've forgotten all about "NO." And in each of these cases, a "No" is not going to stop you from returning for something else in these establishments.

Why then do we give it so much importance when dealing with our business lives. Why, when we hear the word "No" in our industry do people initially feel insulted, intimidated, and discouraged. You must learn to accept their "No" as, "it's not the right time for me." If you check back in 6 - 12 months their situation may have changed, but if you allow their first reponse to discard them as a prospect you may be throwing money away!

How quickly and easily you allow someone else's authority , or determination of what you can or cannot do, is very telling of who you are at your core. In order to become wealthy in any industry you must understand in every situation of adversity ther is also an opportunity. You turn mistakes into learning lessons and move forward. You must be resilient to resistance.

Also consider this: in today's world it's a reflex to say "No" first to anything as way of protecting yourself from a commitment before you decide you want to say "Yes." It is not always a definitive answer. 

An Event Driven Business

So many people fail to recognize that network marketing is not vague, it’s not ambiguous – it’s very specific and predictable for sure.


You can and will develop an enormous organization when you focus on events. Now, "events" can mean several things. Let me first explain how always I start a new endeavor because many people ask about how it happens so quickly, and then I’ll explain how to drive your business with events.


I sign up at the highest, most committed level because I want the full attention of my sponsor and I wanted to make sure I can start aggressively. I then have to schedule my first event because life can happen and a week or two can just drift by me without making any progress in my business.


If you’d like a fast start for your personal business, let’s make sure you’re creating events.  After making your list I strongly suggest booking with your sponsor your first three events.


I also suggest you schedule a 30 minute time slot each of those first three weeks with your sponsor or upline so that those who have questions prior to or after your events and webinars can be directed to a time slot within those 30 minute scheduled times to have a 3-way conversation with you and your sponsor.



When you’re brand new you should not be answering questions – your sponsor or upline should and you can listen and learn. Bingo- we just created a super fast start for your first month.


So, events drive your business and events are: one on ones, two on ones, in homes/in offices, webinars, 3 way phone call time slots, hotel business overviews and larger regional and corporate events.

Success Magazine Great Advice

I was reading the Success Magazine edition from February 2011 and ran across this quote that reminded me soooo much of our recruiting efforts and who we should be speaking to – the 8’s, 9’s and 10’s!

“If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs.  But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants.”

Who are you speaking to? THING BIG.
