1. A Note From the Coach

Have you ever had someone listen to your presentation, only to have that person pitch you in return? Frustrating, huh? I mean, in truth the guy was simply listening to you so he could pitch you. Ugh. What a waste.

But is it?

How to handle precisely this type of situation is the topic of this month's feature article.

Enjoy!

Your Coach,

“My Deal's Better Than Yours"

Mark D. Worthen, Psy.D., submitted this question to me:

“Hilton, what do you say when someone calls you pretending to be interested in your business, but what they really want to do is sell you on their own business opportunity?”

Frankly, I love when this happens to me. I call these people “pretenders.”

The reason I’m glad when pretenders call and try to sell me on their business is because I’m almost guaranteed to give them MY presentation.

And I know going in that my presentation is probably better than theirs!

I'll gladly pit my deal and my ability to explain it against any other deal out there because I know that the best presentation will most often win the other one over.

How about you?

Are you confident enough in your company and your ability to explain your deal that you’ll go "heads up" with anybody?

If not, you might want to think about that because the difference between success and failure in Network Marketing is in your willingness to make contact with lots of people and your ability to give powerful, compelling presentations.

Pure and simple.

Assuming though, that you do have a good business presentation, here’s what you say the next time someone calls you pretending to be interested in your business, only to spring their business on you:

You: “I’m glad you mentioned that you have a business opportunity you want me to see because I’m always open to other opportunities. Don’t you feel the same way?

Don’t you feel that you and I should always be open to a better deal if we can find it?”

Pretender: “Oh…yeah, sure.”

You: “Tell you what…I’ll take a look at your business and keep an open mind about being a part of it. How does that sound?”

Pretender: “Great!”

You: “All I ask is that you do the same. Give me the same courtesy I’ll give you by allowing me to explain my business to you, in its entirety. Keep an open mind, just like I will with you, and if my business is a better opportunity than yours, you join MY company. Okay?"

Pretender: “Yes.”

Yee haw! Ain’t that cool?

Now, a word of caution…

If you don't have an organized business presentation that you know will knock the socks off your competitors, you can solve that problem now, once and for all, by owning the “Selling By Attraction Home Study Program.”

Check it out.

Remember this always…

He who has the best presentation wins!

3. Food 4 Thought

Success Is Closer Than You Think

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity.
But you have to act on them if you're going to be successful.

Distant pastures always look greener than those close at hand,
but real opportunities are right where you are.
You must simply take advantage of them when they appear.
You can start where you are at any time.

Success is all around you.

It's not in your environment,
it's not in luck or chance,
or in the help of others.
Success is in yourself alone.

You don't need more strength
or more ability or greater opportunity.
What you need is to use what you have.
Learn to seize good fortune,
for it is always around you.

You must go to success,
it doesn't come to you.
Open your own doors to opportunity.
