The Cost of Not Asking

Most people don’t mind it when you tell them about your business. What they mind is being pressured to buy something. And what is the cost of telling someone about your business? Well, perhaps they won’t like you as much. Maybe they will say “no thanks” when you invite them to buy your product or come to a meeting. They might even get indignant and tell you that network marketing is a modern-day plague that needs to be eradicated if our society is going to survive.

You can handle that, can’t you?

And what is the cost of not asking someone to listen to your spiel?

Maybe they have been looking for a hot new MLM to make some money with and would be glad to come to your meeting. Or maybe they have some serious health concerns and are interested in trying your products. Maybe they are looking for a business they can run from the home. Just maybe the timing in right and this would be PERFECT for them.

The point is…you won’t know if you don’t ask. And if you don’t ask…you won’t be doing business with them.

And how will you feel when someone else signs them up in the same company that you represent? Or, what will you say to them in a year, when you are making some serious money every month, and they want to know why you didn’t mention it to them earlier?

One of the biggest mistakes that one can make in business is to assume they know what the customer is thinking…especially when all it takes to find out is to ask.
