Many of us in network marketing treat our business like a dead-end job more so than a business. So are you in business for the right reasons or for the wrong reasons? Lets dig further.

“Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are asking, What’s in it for me?”  –  Brian Tracy

Many of us started a business to achieve the fruits of financial freedom so that we can create more options to do the things that we’ve been limited to do.

The thought of what we call “going on vacation” or living in the neighborhood that we dream of really keeps our motors running when it comes to our businesses.

The fact that there are so many opportunities out there leaves a sweet spot in our minds knowing that we can actually better ourselves and come out on top gives us endless possibilities in our imagination.

Have you ever went for a walk or a drive and your imagination just kicks in? You probably think of all the things that you will be able to do once you reach the top. How happy you will be when all your debt is paid, not worrying about bills, helping close family and friends out, etc…

If this is something you’re always thinking about, then there is no doubt that law of attraction will be in the workings for you.

This is the mentality of the true soon to be unemployable entrepreneur and life will just get better each day that pass no matter if it’s a good day or not so good day.

Now let me ask, on those not so good days where obstacles get in your way, does you mentality stay the same or does it turn focus on those obstacles?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU START FOCUSING ON THE OBSTACLES?

Even though I am an employee myself, sometimes I can start acting like an employee in my business when I start focusing on those obstacles.

When you start focusing on the obstacles you start to question and point fingers. You start to focus on why life isn’t fair, why you’re upline isn’t doing a better job, why you’re not making the money in the time fashion you want, and if what you’re doing is legit.

No disrespect, but if network marketing companies had a Union, I believe the majority of them, if not all will be in trouble all the time.

When you start to put more focus on these negative thoughts, you are preparing yourself to become a failure. With this focus, you have to ask yourself why are you doing this?

If you’re reason isn’t big enough for you to keep going, then quitting could be your answer.

Why?

Because you’re in it for the wrong reasons. Usually when it comes to this people, it’s usually just for a quick fix. They’re number one reason is to just make more money without a strong why backing it up.

WHAT CAN YOU FOCUS ON WHEN THERE ARE OBSTACLES?

If you have a strong “why” that goes deeper than just making money, that’s a good start.

What’s a strong “why”? Here’s some examples:

Spending more time with your spouse and kids

Being able to travel across country to visit your aging grandparents or parents

Being able to pay off your debt to feel no stress

Being able to spend more time on a hobby you love to do.

Another thing you can focus on is to just become better each and everyday. You can treat the obstacles that you come across as ways to learn a lesson so you know what to do when they come around.

When it comes to obstacles, successful people automatically divert their attention to solutions that will enable them to overcome those obstacles. You start to become an unstoppable person as well as an entrepreneur.

So above all, stay focus on become better and your “why”. Let your imagination run around freely everyday and you will definitely reach your goals.

Do you look for what’s possible to come or the opposite? Law of Attraction says what ever you put out is reciprocated back to you. So if there’s a certain response you want, then you must put out something of equal value right? Lets see how you can do this.

“The activities we observe in the outer world are but typical of that which is taking place in man’s inner world of thought and feeling” – Charles Patterson

If you want to get more of what you want then Positive Presupposition is the ultimate when it comes to NLP.

NLP (Neuro Lingusistic Programming) is a way for you to build better relationships with others especially in business. One of the ways you can used NLP is through the 4 communication styles mentioned in previous posts.

In a previous post I talked about Installing which is persuading someone without them being aware so that you can make an unconscious connection with them. This method is definitely a great way to indirectly suggest something that they may be interested in. Once you do that then you can make the assumption that they want more information about whatever you have to offer.

From this point, we can carry smoothly into Positive Presupposition. So what is it and does it work?

WHAT IS POSITIVE PRESUPPOSITION?

According to Michael Losier’s book “Law Of Connection” to have a positive presupposition about something is to assume that it is possible or that it will happen.

In order for you to more than likely get the response that you want you will use this method by putting in a form of a question or some other way of communication. By doing this you have a better chance of the other persons action to be reciprocated back to you the way you want.

For example:

Lets say you want your kids to take out the trash. If you were to just tell them “Take out the trash” they are less likely to do so, at least in a timely fashion.

So lets change it up a bit.

What if you tell your kids “Once you take out the trash, we will play the video game you got to see how we can get to the 3rd level”? Do you think they will be more than likely take out the trash in a timely manner?

This works in your Network Marketing Company. When you’re out prospecting and you hand out a DVD or even send the link to the presentation to your company, in a couple of days you ask the prospect what did they like about the information, right?

You’re doing two things here:

You’re showing that you have confidence in them that they watched the DVD.
You’re asking them what they like so they will focus on the value of your opportunity and how it can benefit them.

SOME EXAMPLES OF POSITIVE PRESUPPOSITION

Staying positive and showing confidence in others is a great way to build great connections. Here are some more examples of how you can take advantage of Positive Presupposition:

Learn how you can use your blog to build your business
Learn to make more money with what you’re already doing on facebook.
With your enthusiasm you are really going to grow this business
The fact that your quiet and ask intriguing questions shows how well you will do when you join the business
After you join I want to go over your goals so we can get you paid ASAP.

Positive Presupposition is the fourth method of communication in Michael Losier’s book “Law Of Connection” which will definitely help you sponsor more people into your business and/or products or services that you’re marketing. So make sure to stay positive so that you can attract the prospects you want and sponsor the people you want to work with.

You ever thought if it was possible to make an unconscious connection with someone? There’s actually of way of doing this by making indirect suggestions. This technique is called Installing. Lets learn more.

“The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people half way.” ~ Henry Boyle

How many of you use a very direct approach when you prospect? How has this approach work for you so far?

For the majority of people, this approach doesn’t work well at all. As a matter of fact, most people would have their guard up when you approach them in this manner.

I know I know, you’re upline may have told you that it’s a numbers game and you have to go through a bunch of no’s before you get a yes. The more No’s you get, the closer you get to a yes.

This doesn’t seem too thrilling, doesn’t it?

The fact that you can get rejected isn’t something everyone want’s to look forward to, but what if you can get to the point to where you don’t get this feeling. What if you can have an open approach where it doesn’t matter whether they say YES or NO. With an indirect approach not only will you be more approachable yourself but you’ll gain more and better acquaintances.

Your goal in the network marketing industry is for people to trust and like you and one of the great techniques used to build relationships is NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) which is used a lot in Law Of Connection. In the last post I talk about FUTURE PACING where you paint a brighter future for people you’re in contact with, especially prospects.

From Future Pacing, INSTALLING is the next important method which is a more indirect approach that works quite well in this industry. This is something I use and very comfortable with doing, and my results have been great from this.

WHAT IS INSTALLING?

According to Michael Losier’s book “The Law Of Connection” it is making an intentional suggestion to persuade another person of something without his being aware that this is what you are doing.

How does it work?

The goal is to make a indirect approach by making suggestions that taps into the unconscious mind in order to make an unconscious connection with the other person.

Let’s just say that you’re at a networking event and you overhear a couple of people talking about how they’re having trouble getting leads. So this is your queue to join the conversation.
You introduce them and apologize for the interruptions, but you couldn’t help overhearing the conversation and you were going through the same dilemma a year prior.

You tell them that now you use 3 specific strategies and it’s been helping you and many others get leads everyday. You have people to talk to everyday and your business has been growing.

By using this indirect approach you pique the interest of those other network marketers to the point to where they want to learn more from you. They may be so serious about being successful that they make ask you to do a one on one with them. This could mean a couple of things to you. This could lead to more affiliate sales or this could be more people to join under you in your primary business.

SOME EXAMPLES OF INSTALLING

Using this indirect approach is a great way to open prospects and get them intrigued to what value you have that’s going to enhance them. Once this happens you can do a couple of things like invite them to a presentation, training, super saturday or whatever it may be. Here are some examples of installing:

Many people have matched their current income from their job by doing this.
This training shows you five strategies you can use to get leads online and offline.
There’s going to be 5 top producers in the industry doing a training on how to grow your business from home tonight.
The people that used his technique became successful and quit their jobs within 2 years.

Installing is the third method of communication in Michael Losier’s book “Law Of Connection” and can definitely improve your prospecting skills. Remember to meet the people you meet half way so that you both can be part of a win/win situation.

When you talk to prospects do you expect for them to say no? If so this could be a poor self image and could really put a big hinder on your business growth. Let’s see how you can improve your self image and how you can have your prospects see a brighter future for themselves.

“Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself.” ~ Robert Collier

Are you just testing the waters to see if your business grows? If so, what do you expect out of the people you sponsor into your business or the people you approach?

If you’re not setting up a brighter future for yourself then it will be a big challenge to help your team or prospects to see a brighter future for themselves.

In my previous post about Reframing, I mentioned setting up a positive point of view for the other person you’re talking to. In this sense it builds a positive self image and enables the other person to look at the glass as half way full instead of half way empty.

Reframing and Future Pacing goes hand in hand when it comes to build rapport with others, especially the face that you’re building the other person up. This is great characteristic of leadership and in this industry of network marketing the majority of those involved are looking for some great leaders to follow.

HOW DOES FUTURE PACING WORK?

When you are talking to your prospects or team the object is to “lead” them into the future with positive expectations. When you are communicating with them, you may want to focus on their good qualities by complimenting them and how it would really help them into becoming successful, especially when they are focusing on the negative aspects of themselves. Once their focus and turned to those positive aspects of them, their resistance to their success will start to diminish and your words and encouragement will be accepted.

If you can do this, just imagine how many people will be willing to work with you. The Law Of Attraction will definitely be working for you in this sense. This is a part of building the character that you want in yourself and also in the prospects you want to sponsor into your business.

This is part of the reason why finding out what they’re “why” is so important. By painting the positive people that they want to see and let their why be the main reason to keep going even when the going gets tough.

SOME EXAMPLES OF FUTURE PACING

When you ask many prospects their why, they usually will tell you that they want to make more money. You want to go deeper and ask them what will they do with that extra money that they’re not able to do now. Once you find that out you can use some of these examples for FUTURE PACING:

You will get trained by some of the top producers in the industry!
You will gain much knowledge on building your home business.
The training are simple and to the point!
The people you sponsor will be able to duplicate what you do.
You will get many perks because you have a home business.

Future Pacing is the second method of communication used in Michael Losier’s book “The Law Of Connection” and is a great method when painting the future not only for your prospects but also for yourself. So keep this method in mind when talking to your prospects!

Many people are involved in a home business but yet they lack a lot of belief in it. They are always looking at the glass as half way empty which hinders their success. If this is you, then you may want to read further…

It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not.  ~Author Unknown

Do you feel that success starts with the way you think?

If you believe this is true, do you feel that the vibe that you put out determines whether a person wants to be around you or not?

That vibe can come out in different ways like for instance how you look at someone or the words used to speak with someone. In any manner you’re either going to engage someone or you’re not.

Here’s an example:

Have you ever felt a positive vibe from someone that simply smiles at you? According to the law of reciprocation we usually smile back at them.

Although the engagement wasn’t that long but that moment that may have lasted a couple of seconds felt good, right?

As entrepreneurs in the network marketing industry, we are to consider ourselves as problem solvers.

Our goal is to point people in the right direction in order for them to solve their problems.

If a close friend has a problem, what do you do? You listen to them and suggest some solutions for them so they can solve their problems, right?

This is probably why they keep coming to you because you help them with solutions that they never thought of or just didn’t know what to do to solve their problems. You offer them of a more positive point of view so they won’t feel so limited. This is where REFRAMING comes in!

WHAT IS REFRAMING?

If you studied NLP (Neuro –Linguistic Programming) or Sales, reframing is a common technique used to help the other person look at a different point of view.

When your reframing your goal is to make the other person feel good about themselves and have more self confidence. When you’re able to do this, then people would like to be around you a lot more.

You can also use this for yourself when those negative thoughts start to creep in. By replacing negative statements to more positive statements, you take off the limits you put on yourself so that you can take notice of all the options you can take advantage of.

WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF REFRAMING?

In order for reframing to work for you and your prospects, you want to be able to change a negative statement to a positive statement. Once this is done, you’ll start to feel a shift in the vibe between you and the other person.

Here are some examples of Reframing

Negative Statements

There’s no one opting into my site.

There are too many details about online marketing

I don’t know what to say over the phone when talking to prospects.

Everyone I talk to says no to my opportunity.

Positive Statements

There are so many people on facebook I can talk to.

There are still a lot of easy offline strategies I can use.

Todd Falcone has a black book of scripts I can use to talk to prospects.

Defining the right people I want to work with will help me find the right prospects.

Reframing is one of the 4 methods of communication described in Michael Losier’s book “Law of Connection” and is a great way to start to attract more of the right prospects for you so that you can grow your business. You can actually start using this on yourself to reframe all the negative voices inside your head to positive ones. Once this is done, being able to use reframing when talking to prospects will become easier.

Many of you are looking for better ways to communicate with prospects. There are basic methods that people in sales and marketing actually use in order to have great rapport with them, hence their increase in sales production. Let’s find out what they use…

“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” ~ unknown author

How many of you know people, if not yourself, are always trying to be “real”? Usually when people talk about being “real” or “living in reality” it’s a negative connotation to it.

Now why is that?

It could be your environment, peers, television, radio, etc.. that are the big influences of those negative thoughts, right?

Would those thoughts carry well in your business? Of course not!

If you were already mentally negative, then why would you think someone would want to join under you in your business? That’s wishful thinking.

Many of us network/internet marketers go out prospecting with negative thoughts already conjured up in our minds. Those voices creep up on us saying things like:

“Why would anyone want to join me?”

“Is this really a scam?”

“They’re going to think it’s a scam!”

“How can I convince them that this isn’t a scam just in case they say no?”

“Why am I even doing this?”

“I don’t believe you can get 10 leads a day?”

“My family and friends think I’m a loser for doing this”

“He or she won’t join me, they’re too good for this”

Does this sound familiar? I bet you can add a lot more to this list.

In this post I would like to discuss some things you can do to change this around for yourself and for your prospects. In previous posts I discuss the 4 communication styles you can use to start to build rapport with your prospects. They were

Visual Communicator

Audio Communicator

Kinesthetic Communicator

Digital Communicator

The purpose is for you to figure out which style to use in order to build and maintain rapport with your prospects.  When you try to figure out what words they are saying so you can match your prospects style it can be pretty challenging because you will need to pay very close attention to what they’re saying. But once you master it, then it becomes second nature to you.

There are other ways to make better connections with other people. There are 4 methods that I like to talk about which affect the way we view our past, present and future as well as persuading others to do the same. With these methods you can communicate more positively to others which as a result makes you a better connector and more attractive as a leader. These methods are:

Reframing

Future Pacing

Installing

Positive Presupposition

These 4 methods were also taken out of Michael Losier’s book “Law Of Connection” and are the top methods used by those who have a career in sales and marketing. With that said, these methods will definitely help you in your home business when talking to prospects. I will discuss these in later posts!

If you or you know of someone that like to process or communicate information sequentially then this is the description of the digital communicator. Lets go more into detail on how you can build and maintain rapport with this type of communicator.

Are you a very logical and strategic person?

Do you memorize things through steps and sequence?

Are you very detail oriented?

Do you like to take time to process information to make a decision?

If this describes you or anyone else you may know then these are the characteristics of a digital communicator. This is one of the four communication styles taken out of Michael Losier’s book “The Law of Connection”. As described in his book any words relating to “Sequence” or “Logic” used by someone in their speech are characteristics of a digital communicator. Here are some phrases taken out of the book.

Many of you are probably an auditory communicator. You communicate and process information in a certain way and there is a specific way to build and maintain rapport with them. Lets find out more about this style of communication.

“The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.”— Ralph Nichols

Do you talk to yourself when working or concentrating?
