Does that sounds familiar? I am sure it does and you must know why a lot of people say that. To learn why some people react this way, you have understand that there are 3 types of negative people in the Network Marketing or MLM world and how to react to what they have to say.
The persons who already tried and failed
You know I have to give these people some credit. At least they were smart enough to try their own business and for some reason they were not successful. Maybe they picked the wrong company with the wrong product. Maybe they had the wrong mindset and they were not ready to do what they had to do to be successful. The end results was failure.
The positive person will learn from their mistakes and they will improve themselves and try again. The negative person will blame in on the Network Marketing industry , tell everyone who want to hear that everything is a scam and just give up. When you come across these people, it will be difficult to change their mind. What I would recommend, don’t even bother because at the first problem, they will quit.
The persons who knows someone who failed
This type of persons are relying on someone else opinion and if someone they know tell them it’s a scam, it’s probably one. People trust each other’s opinion. When you talk to one of these persons, you have to be very careful at what you say and you have make a point in showing information that will show that it is a legitimate business. Unless they understand that, there is no point of talking about anything else.
The persons who have only heard it’s a scam (so it probably is…)
This is the uneducated category. They don’t know about it but they read on the Internet that it’s a scam, so it must be true! I like these people because it is simple to have them change their mind. The only thing you have to do is give them knowledge. When they see you as knowledgeable (if you give them good content of course!) they will be open to actually learn what MLM and Network Marketing really is. I am not saying they will sign up with you immediately or ever, but they will remember you are the person who changed their mind, who taught them what they didn’t know.
Next time to you come across someone who is negative about your opportunity or Network Marketing in general, find out by asking questions in which of he above 3 categories this person falls and determine if the person is worth your time. If you stop wasting time with negative people, you will get more time to talk to the positive people and your business will grow exponentially.
