The Prospect False Promise Phenomenon

Human behavior is very strange... I talk with prospects very week. Many times, they contact me first via email and ask me to call them, or they call and leave a message to be called back. I enjoy these conversations because I love my GBG home business. There is something that urks me to no end though. It's empty, broken promises.

I bite my tongue, stay quiet, and simply say "I look forward to that happening!" when I hear...

• "I have years of network marketing experience. I'll sign up next week!"
• "I'll join in a month or two... I have to save up the money first." (for a $40 opportunity, really?)
• "I'm a very serious networker. I want to move my team of 200 distributors in another opportunity to this one!"
• "This sounds great! I am fully committed to building a six-figure income with GBG. I'll join in a couple of days!"
• "I'm not looking to make $100,000 in five years, I'm looking to make that in the next three to four months!"

The list of broken promises goes on and on. These people never join. My most committed referrals never made claims like this before joining. They saw the power of my home business in their lives, asked me a few realistic questions, or they joined quetly without contacting me at all and made the commitment for themselves, not to impress me.

The over-promise false promises...

Many times, after someone does join, they break out the big over-promises...

• "I was a millionaire in network marketing up until seven years ago. I will do it again with GBG!" (this guy sponsored one relative and quit his second month)
• "I have 15 years experience and wrote a published book on network marketing. You'll be a millionaire from my team alone Jose!" (he only sponsored his wife, and quit in month three)
• "Like you Jose, I'm committed to sponsoring 100 people. I won't quit until I do!" (sponsored no one, and after month two, gone!)

When I first joined GBG, I didn't contact my sponsor. I ordered the product, used it for a month, read all I could about the company and started promoting once I got fired up about the opportunity! I contacted my sponsor after enrolling my first Platinum member and upgrading to Platinum myself!

What all these prospects and new referrals don't quite get, and I make it clear, is that this is a tortoise race to your desired income level. You can never predict what your customers will do. Will they get active building the business? Will they just keep ordering the products, or order every other month? All that you can do is be an example of leadership by committing to your own goals and working diligently and consistently to get there.

How serious are you?

Are you willing to make a commitment for yourself?

Then take action, jump in and git 'er done!
