Preparing Monavie Business Builders and Prospects For Rejection

How many times have you shared the Monavie product and business opportunity with someone, who seems extremely excited to sign up and move forward - than they go home, talk to their spouse or family - and than when you meet again (or you could get a phone call) they’ve changed their minds for some supposedly uncertain reason.  No doubt that rejection by family and friends is one of the first major hurdles new excited prospects (who could potentially be huge business builders) must overcome.  Monavie is a great product to share in its health benefits.  But when it comes to sharing the business opportunity side most people are quick shoot an excited prospect down before they ever have a chance to take off.

Here is a typical dialogue but a common end-result outcome with a prospect you just shared the business opportunity with:

  • Prospect: “honey, I just found a great business called Monavie.  They have a great health functional beverage and their is huge potential to make a lot of money.”
  • Prospect’s spouse: “After all these years at the company, you’re going to do what?  You know these things never work.  Don’t waste your time.”  Or how about “Does it involve signing people up under you?  Scam!  I don’t want anything to do with it - and you shouldn’t either!  Don’t be an idiot.”  (OUCH)

The above dialogue is typical and just a small sample of a common person excited about a new  business opportunity and wanting to tell the world about it.  It is our closest friends and family, who likely are well-meaning, that can hurt our future success the most if we are not prepared for it beforehand.

So to say it bluntly, A MAJOR REASON WHY MOST PEOPLE FAIL IN NETWORKING MARKETING (A BUSINESS SUCH AS MONAVIE) IS BECAUSE OF THEIR INABILITY TO COPE WITH REJECTION AT THE INITIAL OUTSET WHEN THEIR EXCITEMENT AND ENTHUSIASM IS MOST PRECIOUS AND VITAL.

As an experienced distributor it is up to you to prepare your prospect for the inevitability.  How does one do this?  Below are a few thoughts and examples.  As always, check with our upline support team to learn what works best for you and your situation:

  • At the close of the first initial presentation / tasting / meeting let your prospect know what some common responses could be and why they are so
  • Lead with the product first more than the business - once the product works it’s easier to explain the business after
  • Explain the importance and need of learning as much about the business first before sharing what they think they know with others
  • Explain the fact that most people respond negatively due to their ignorance and a lack of information (life’s tough and has had it’s fair share of dissapointments so how can we blame them?) - it’s up to the prospect to get enough of the right information from the people who are successful in the business.
  • A HUGE ASPECT FOR OUR PROSPECT TO CONSIDER is the fact that the we often have one chance of making a good first impression - to share the opportunity with others in the not so most effective way could potentially destroy the chances of them ever joining.  Once someone says to the prospect, “You’re a fool for doing that,” how could they possibly join unless the admit they are wrong?  It’s still possible but why take such a chance?  This being said it helps if the spouse, family member or friend can hear it directly from the original business presenter too.
  • When you are planning to open a restaurant and tell your friends and family they will likely tell you all the pitfalls and what could go wrong and why you shouldn’t.  BUT if you already have MADE THE COMMITMENT they are just supportive and will likely say, “so when is the grand opening or when can we stop by for lunch/dinner?” - it’s amazing people’s reponse to you when they know you have committed.
  • UNTIL YOU ARE INVOLVED FINANCIALLY many people will not treat your business seriously or with respect
  • Master your own confidence, knowledge and attitude first and others will follow!
  • Remember that rejection is necessary to it’s opposite positive response - it’s the law!  If you’ve ever dated you’ve been rejected - it’s no different in business.  So get a grip and move forward.   Success is worth it!!!!
