#2. "Customers are a waste of time"

Although recruiting business builders continues to be bandied about as the way to "get rich fast" it has not proven to be that so for the 95% who drop out. Has it been for you? Yet the upline and those in front of the room continue to scream at their new recruits to go after business builders. But if you don't feel strongly about doing that, if you don't love it madly, what should you do when you're nagged about that each time you have a conversation with an upline?

Here's what. If you want to get your 100 regular loyal customers before you go after the business builders, DO THAT. No matter what your upline says. Isn't it your business after all? AOL and cable TV have millions of customers, and no business builders. They do OK.

front coverIf customers are you inner strength, because you love your products, lead with getting them. If you make say $10 for each customer order of $50-100/mo, how much will you make each month with 100 loyal customers?

Here's a new book for people who want to know how to ask for "their" customers, "If My Product's So Great, How Come I Can't Sell It?" It is at the printers and is scheduled to ship June 15. You can get it here. Excerpts are available HERE to tantalize you.

#3. Meetings and conference calls.

Same as #2. If the only success stories they tell over and over are of the same people doing the thing you don't want to do, and it's the same old same old each week, take a break. Stop going to the meetings and don't call into the calls. Stay home or go to a caf%8E and develop your strengths instead - get good at doing the things you love - not things you hate.

Bottom line. If you have to stop conversations your upline for a month or two because they nag too much, stop having them. If your meetings feel like you are getting nowhere, and no one will support your strengths, stop going for a while.

Develop your reaching out methods based on what is "you", and stay within the boundaries set by your company. Do it alone or with someone else who feels like you do. Team calling can be fun. Team door-knocking can be fun. Doing ANY reaching out method in teams can be fun if all the members enjoy that particular reaching out method.

If you're good on the phone, there are lots of local interest groups with member directories. There are businesses that will share their lists if they believe in the products also, like your upscale hair dresser, your alternative MD, or your tennis club. MANY suggestions are in the "If My Product's So Great, How Come I Can't Sell It?" book.

You don't let outsiders "steal" your dream, right?

Well, don't let your upline do it, either.
