Learning the steps and secrets of how to recruit

June 30, 2016

Imagine if you could do this, your biggest obstacles with any industry your are involved with. Without prospects, you have absolutely no way of generating a return on your investment. Investments have many meanings, you either invested money or a combination of the worst possible investment, Time, and money, one of them you will never get back. Simple fact!

There are so many programs out there that only have one goal how much can they generate from suckers like us. Hey, I have researched most of them, yes they have merit, for the one's who use it. Most never do, they expect an autopilot type of system. Meaning they have the ability, to do nothing, no magical dust in this industry. It is called Labour by love.

This is what I studied, from my early days of working for (GMDA) General Motors Dealer Association of Toronto. Training entry level sales representatives, who had no experience what so ever in this very lucrative industry. You write your pay cheque. Hey, I need more money this week, the concept is I know and understand how to generate what I need. Review this article on how to increase your paycheck daily. Read More!

So what are the steps for success in recruiting more prospects no different than walking up a ladder? Miss a step you will fall, makes sense. Correct? You need to understand you are dealing with ego's, period. Like mastering the ability to solve a quadratic equation. The Very complicated process, so why make it so difficult? The lost ability in life today, people do not listen to understand, they listen so they can reply. Think about what I just wrote, we all have done this.

Having a mindset with the only thing you need to remember is to listen, it is pretty confusing to many. Not really our fault, just how we are we react too quickly. At times you need to take a deep breath and listen and play the game I call ping pong. He hits the ball, and I hit it back. Other words he asks me a question and I answer it with a question, keep the conversation alive with progression

Dale Carnegie taught this process in "How to Win Friends and Influence People," a best seller. If you have never read this book, please read it and learn from the master. Another one I keep under my bed for the simple reason, it is easily accessible. Is David Schwartz "The Magic of Thinking Big," you need to read this book if you want to make it in any industry.

Prospecting is so simple no different than trying to get a date, all you want is the ability to share some common interests, then make your move. Sounds so easy it is when you think of the ladder one step at a time, miss one you will fall. Listen and then answer the question with a question. Keep the ball coming over the net, and hit it back and you will know if you are on your game he or she will hit it back. Why it is very important to answer a question with a questions keeps the conversation alive.

If you have an interest in this subject, you can post a comment on what your biggest fears are about cold calling, prospect, being able to do more three-way calls, with someone who understands more than you. People join companies not because of the rewards, but for the individual who introduce them to the opportunity. If you are going to make it in this industry, you need to become an "Alpha Type of Person" only three percent make it or have this ability.

This article is not an overnight success story, hell not even charging a dime what so ever. That has to be a relief? What you need to do is read the two above books I shared with our readers. Becoming good at what you do takes time, repetitiveness is the mother skill, so you need to practice. If you want to learn what I mentioned in the title, follow this blog. Some of the answers are on this blog, read more on prospecting.

I will teach you the art of seduction at a level your in total control. People, unfortunately, are looking for that magical dust I said earlier. Not going to happen, at all. When you read them two books and follow this, you will see why recruiting is so simple.


Do not forget to leave your thoughts, much appreciated.

Tips and Concepts to Use When Prospecting With a Cold Market

February 9, 2016

Without prospects, you have no way of increasing your success with any business whether it is marketing with an eCommerce Business, Multi Level Marketing or a Brick and Mortar Business. Prospects are the blood line of achievement with the mentioned industries.

When I first got into sales back in 1983, selling vehicles at a Large Dealership in Agincourt, Ontario where I worked. I asked a question to my Sales Manager, so where do I get my prospects from? He looked at me, and said l will be right back; he slammed the white pages phone book on my desk. Do you have any other questions?

I got the message, but I had a big problem, I had no education on how to prospect.  So I spoke to all my senior sales partners, but they were old school with established repeat clients, so that was a waste of human energy. We had no internet back then, so I decided to dedicate myself to this field by going to the Library and reading all the books that related to the sales industry.

I would go to the library a couple of times a week, and borrow new books that I had an interest. I came across an author who was called The World's Greatest Salesman Joe Girard. Wow, I said to myself, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I read and study his principles, and started to apply his concepts, tips to my daily activities. Within a couple of weeks of doing what l had studied, I started having results. I had more appointments for the week than most of the senior sales partners at our dealership.

I recall one day my Sales Manager came up to me and asked how I was getting so many appointments when I was only a car cadet, other words a rookie. I looked at him and said I am doing what you told me to do, using the phone book and calling the prospect. What are you talking about to them, so I showed him the script I had wrote and tested, to see where my results were coming from. Yes, I kept records on all of my calls, created a manual file for each prospect, with names and important details, that would help me engage with them and establish credibility.

The number one tip I have learned from all of my years invested in the sales industry is still the same tip I use in 2016, this will never change, if you want results, you have to study your the market, and when applying this concept, you will see results. Learning how to engage with your prospect without coming across as some robot. God give us two ears and one mouth, which one should we use the most?

Let us not forget we as car salesmen do not have an excellent reputation, so this is one of the hardest industries to make a full time living from. The status of a car salesperson has drastically changed with all the new industry standards, but most people still do not trust a car salesman.

That was how prospecting was conducted back then, but the approaches used have not changed except, now we use different tools, called Social Media Marketing. Creating a brand, getting Likes to our FaceBook Page, using all types of various Social Media Levels, such as LinkedIn, Twitter, FaceBook just to name a few.  

When we are using Social Media Levels, we still need to get the most important point across, getting our prospect to engage with each other, without pitching him on the first impression, or second for that matter. It's so important, and most rookies will prospect you to the point of you being spam by their opportunity, never understood why anyone would take this unsuccessful approach.

He's one the best speaker that illustrates what it will take to become 

the machine of endless possibilities. He spoke the wisest words 

to making the switch. It took place back in 2007.

And he's a Jets Fan! 

 

                             
You will need to become a master of the skills you learn, the only way this is going to happen is by you practicing your script on a daily base. Keep track of what is working and what is not working, modify it so it can become a seed of endless prospects for you to work with.
