Facing Rejection

“No, I can't see myself doing something like that!” “This is one of those pyramid schemes!” “No one ever makes any money in these deals!” “You're a fool for spending your time, this is a scam!”

Sound familiar? These are all things I’ve heard during my time in network marketing. The critics are always there to reject you and try to steal your dreams. Don't let them. After all, will they be paying your mortgage or car payments? Are they going to send your kids through college? Will they be there to take care of you when you’re elderly? NO! So, don't worry about what they say, listen to your heart.

If you have done your due diligence and believe in your company, products, and upline, then you can never truly experience rejection. People who say “no” or make comments like those above are just misinformed, misdirected, misguided, have not received enough information, or are just not at the right time in their lives. They are not rejecting you, the company or products.

Here is some great ways to prepare you for the NO's:

1. Belief - you must gain a strong belief in your company, products, upline and most of all yourself. Attend all the trainings and business briefings you can find. Go to annual conventions and regional conferences. Get on the company e-mail and voice mail system. Listen to every company CD and watch every DVD. If possible, visit the corporate facilities and talk with the founder(s) of the company. Time, training and experience will build your belief system to the point where you are bullet proof.

2. Attitude - you have the gold mine and you're offering it to other people. If they don't want to dig, that's their loss. Just continue to offer it. Eventually you will find enough people to dig and you will enjoy financial security and time freedom.

4. Message and the messenger - you are just the messenger. You must continually remind prospects not to judge the opportunity (the message) by you or your success (the messenger). Your company and products are the message.
Help your prospects understand that they must review the information carefully and then make a good, educated decision.

NO's are necessary for success in network marketing. Each time someone says NO, find out why. That will help you to provide the right information at the right time. It will also help you understand that it has nothing to do with you.
The more rejection you can handle, the greater your success in network marketing.
