Let's face it, when you get started you are so excited you want to tell everyone you know about the perfect business. And to be honest, many will think that you are crazy. I know that most of my family told me to call them when I have completely gotten out of debt and replaced my hubby's income.
So why don't they see that they are missing out on the success you will see, because they wanted to sit and wait to see what happens? I find it so frustrating.
I think that it is easier to have a complete stranger say no to me about the business, than have friends and family members think that I am crazy.
You have to learn that people really are not rejecting you, they are rejecting the business. They don't trust the industry, too many people think of pyramid scheme and tune you out.
You have to learn how to sell yourself. Get your sponsor or someone in your upline that has credibility with your friend/ family member to speak about how enthusiastic you are and how far you are going to go with the company. Have other team mates give testimony on you and the business. You have to overcome peoples mindset on network marketing and their view of you (quiet little Sally Jane, scatterbrained Beth, hippy dippy Sue...). Your history with friends and family can be keeping them from really hearing what you have to say, having a 3rd party "endorsement" can be the key to getting them over the hurdle.
When you realise its not really you that they are saying no to, it takes the sting out a bit. Just remember that you can start building your credibility for strangers and use 3rd party endorsements/ testimonials to help your friends and family really see what you are trying to share with them.
Just remember to keep positive and reach for your dreams!
