Default No means no means no!

Do you ask the same person over and over again everyday to join your business? If it worked for you, then please share your tips! The people on Facebook who are constantly harassing me to tell me to join their business think "no" means "maybe next time" or something...

I don't think anyone should beg or bother. If someone says no thank you then ask if you can send information periodically? If they say no to that then keep it moving. Some people do take the FB thing too far. myself I have no problem telling people I'm not interested in something because people tell me the same thing on many occasions and not all things are for all people.

Then again for some people it's not anything about the individual it's just a numbers thing. In the big picture no one will join any business until they see what's in it for them..

Don't ask Daily, but stay in contact until they say Don't Contact Me Again! lol It is always beneficial to keep everyone updated with what the company is doing and what they can benefit from it! Some people want to watch growth and development before they decide to get involved

Ha! Kailo I think we were talking about this on Facebook together one time. It was about that guy who kept pushing you to join his business, lol.

Personally for me, I will admit that I'm the worse recruiter in the world. I'm just not pushy, keep calling, emailing, spamming or whatever you see many people doing. I just give facts, information and if I don't know something I get back to them with the answer. If they want to join me then great! If not, okie dokie! I move on but I don't take it personally. It's all about that person finding a connection with a potential Sponsor.

I've found a lot of my team members have joined me without me actively recruiting them. One person even joined after I said to call other Consultants to get a feel of who they are and learn how they support their team members. Now, if I was a pushy crazy person-- I would have never said that.

People join people. So if they say "no" then it's a no. But that doesn't mean that it's a no now. It may mean at this time it's a no and they may join later. Keep them in mind and maybe follow up in a month or so. But do it casually and just following up. More than likely, if they are really interested in your business-- they will be watching you and join you later. But if someone is like "heck no!!!" then obviously, you need to move on lol.

I think people forget about relationship building and think that by sending a spam link, people are going to magically join you. I can't tell you how many spam messages I get on here, Facebook etc. I'm like really? Stop being selfish and learn what the prospect wants and how you can best help them.

I've acquired a network of friends from other home-based businesses. If I'm talking to someone who's not interested in what I'm doing but still want to work from home--- I match up their interest and refer them to one of my friends. One of my friends did the same thing and I got a new team member because of that.

So Idk, maybe this is rant of tangents but constantly "wild animal attacking" someone when they said no is not cool. JMO

Absolutely not. In fact, I don't talk about my business with over 95% of people out there. I'm simply not interested in recruiting them. For those that I do take it to the next base with, they are spoken to on the phone and I determine whether or not I can even put them in front of my business partners. For me, I really need to get to know a person before I can even talk business to them.

My business is an investment and I only want the best. If you don't bother to get to know a person, you have know idea what their intentions are, what their work ethic is like and whether or not they would click with you on a professional level. There is no reason to waste time on "average" recruits when you can invest more time weeding and filtering people out and partnering with the highest quality people that you can target. Those are the people who you are going to make the most money with. The rest are essentially a threat to your business as they can waste a lot of your time. I know we have all been there before!

I agree. If someone says no I just let them contact me and send them specials if they are interested.
