Communicating on Facebook with other network marketers can be an absolute nightmare.
Why? There are so many up there just wheeling and dealing the next great big cookie cutter opportunity that is going to make us see through the sun.
I know you can since the enthusiasm in my tone right? If there is anything that is taught in the network marketing industry, it's the art of communicating.
My question is if the principles on communication worked well for years offline do they not work online as well? Its obvious network marketers ignored the course on communicating with prospects.
Recently I've been sharing some valuable content on how to market effectively on Facebook.
I've talked about lead generating, proper etiquette, and more.
This article will focus on the questions you should ask when you are getting to know that new friend whether its via chat, email, or wall postings.
Your mission in asking the following questions is to build a relationship and see where you can help that person.
Nothing more nothing less.
You better not try to pitch your opportunity.
Since I put that out there you must be eager to read what I have to say.
Cool let's get to the good stuff.
1.
Do you promote network marketing? This helps you to further qualify the prospect.
Remember you are only adding friends that appear to be in network marketing because that is your target market.
2.
How long have you been in? This is to keep the conversation going, nothing major here.
3.
Do you work your business daily? You are still qualifying with this question.
The answer reveals if they view this as a hobby or a multi million dollar business.
4.
Do you promote your business online now? Listen very carefully to the response you get on this.
The majority of the responses will be people stating they are ignorant at marketing on the web.
That's a green light for you to drop some knowledge but only a little bit because you don't want to bombard them.
5.
What is your best way of getting leads? Their response will dictate whether you can continue the conversation as a student or mentor.
You may get offline or online answers.
Either way listen so you know how to respond accordingly.
Everytime they question you give them back value so they will know you are the most giving network marketer they have ever met.
I can't tell you how more effective this approach is vs what has been taught for years with the traditional way in network marketing.
I say that because trust and relationship are being established way before a business opportunity is in the picture.
So IF they decide to join you in business they are going to stick around.
