Do your prospects scurry away from you faster than The Donald's toupee on a windy day?
Maybe it's because you tell bad jokes...
It might be because you have poor hygiene…
...or because you secretly worship Englebert Humperdink!
More than likely it's because they've previously had a bad experience with an overzealous network marketer who cornered them, convinced that EVERYONE needed to hear his/her message.
They were actually a victim of bad marketing perpetrated by an uninformed network marketer. In essence your prospects have already been "thrown-up" on, and frankly they're grossed out. (I know, bad visual, sorry!)
Unfortunately it's people like that that give network marketing and direct selling a bad name. But it doesn't have to be that way! It shouldn't be that way... and you’re not going to be one of "those!"
You see, the truth is not everyone IS interested in what you have to offer! Get over it! Not everyone is your prospect…but SOMEONE is! The trick is to learn how to zero in on that someone, your ideal target.
My friend Eric Walker, Social Media Marketing Director at Ann Sieg's Renegade Blog wrote a great article on this…and since I'm not into reinventing the wheel, here's a link to see what I mean:
Do You Really Know Who You're Supposed To Be Marketing To?
Pop on over and give it a look, he's got some valuable golden nuggets in there that can save you time and maybe even your reputation! Oh, and while you're there, tell him I sent ya!

Thanks for sharing that Eryn. I think we need to act more like filters to find a need in people instead of pushing our opportunity onto everyone we meet.
