Welcome back! I’m Beth, if we haven’t met yet, because I have some new listeners, which is super exciting. I really, truly believe that the network marketing business model is the most misunderstood business model of any of them out there, because, take a look at this, I had no social media experience, I had a couple hundred friends on Facebook, I had always been connecting my whole life, always been connecting, because I love talking to people. I love giving people ideas, I love having people around, so I had a lot of connections, but I didn’t really know how to sell.
And I realized that selling is sharing the stories of success, sharing the stories of success with your product, sharing the stories of success with your opportunity. But the story I wanted to tell was that after the age of 45, I wanted to say I have earned over a million dollars, and now it’s multiple seven figures. Using the network marketing model, you can absolutely, positively build a sustainable, respectful business, the right way. If you have a product that you know serves your audience, if you have a business model that you know is ethical.
If you’re annoyed at a network marketer over showing up in your inbox, show some love and grace. Send them my way, say, ‘Hey, my friend Beth has the map membership, where she’s going to teach you to show up with your authentic branding, how to ask good questions, how to actually work through the sales process without spamming your entire list of copy and paste.
And I’m going to talk about that today. And the one thing though that they said was, Well, if they come to my inbox solving a problem that I have, that’s cool, but don’t just show up and say, Hey, I’ve gotten you diet pills, and you don’t even know if you’re on a diet or, Hey, I’ve got this business opportunity. So, there’s a fine line between having conversations because we are wanting to build our business and showing up in someone’s inbox uninvited, it’s kind of like if the front screen door is open and you walk right in and you’re in the kitchen, that person hasn’t invited you to come in. There is truth to the idea that you have to have a couple, or a lot of conversations first, but let’s talk about how to have those conversations in a way that people actually put up their hands for what you have and what you do.
