To recruit more in network marketing we must focus on planting more seeds.
Recruit more in network marketing by planting more seeds…
Recently I was flying from Hong Kong to Kenya for a training event.
I had downloaded Jim Rohn’s, “Building Your Network Marketing Business” (If you haven’t downloaded this yet… do it! It’s an incredible product).
In the audio Jim talks about being a “Sower of seeds”.
Essentially becoming a farmer of sorts.
Let me explain…
When we go out and we show our business to people…
What we’re really doing is sowing seeds…planting seeds.
Jim gives this analogy:
“Network marketing is kind of like planting seeds.”
The analogy continues…
Sometimes when you plant the seeds in the garden…
Birds come along and eat the seeds.
The birds get them.
You want to recruit more in network marketing but the birds eat your seeds
You invite someone to see your opportunity…
Maybe for coffee or a business briefing…
…and they don’t show up or call you.
You’re wondering, “What happened to Mary?”.
Mary said she was coming but never showed up.
I’ll tell you what happened to Mary…
The birds got her.
Somebody (or even her own thoughts) got to her first and told her it wasn’t a good idea.
We can philosophize this all day long (trying to figure out why people do what they do)…
…but personally (like Jim Rohn says), I wouldn’t waste too much time on it. It’s human nature. Sometimes when you plant seeds…
Other people will get to them first and there isn’t much you can do about it. Oh well. Next.
Sometimes your seeds land on the rocky ground…
When a seed is planted on the rocky ground…
The seed will sprout but it won’t sprout very high.
A hot day comes around and the sprout withers and dies.
So, sometimes you enroll somebody and they’re extremely excited!
What happens, however, is it starts to get tough and they quit.
Your new recruit said he was going to make you rich. What happened?
John (your new recruit) landed on rocky ground.
Sometimes your seeds land on thorns…
When you’re planting seeds…
Sometimes your seeds will land on thorns.
So, you’ll have people join y our organization and they’ll actually go out and enroll some other people.
They’ll have a bit of success.
You think, “Wow, this person is going to go all the way! I finally got one!”.
What happens next?
Someone will get their feelings hurt.
One of the biggest reasons people quit network marketing is that they get their feelings hurt.
They show someone the business and that person says, “I can’t believe you got scammed!”.
Then they quit.
All you need to know is that the thorns got them.
Sometimes the birds get them… sometimes the thorns get them… sometimes your seeds land on shallow ground.
At times the seeds will produce 30%.
Other times they produce 60%…
…but sometimes they produce 100%.
Some seeds (producers in your organization) will produce more than others.
You can try and figure out why…
But I wouldn’t waste my time on it.
Realize…
If you plant enough seeds…
They’ll eventually land on fertile soil.
You may get frustrated with the birds, the thorns, and the rocky ground…
…but if you just keep planting, my friend…
You’ll eventually have an incredible harvest.
Go out and plant more seeds and recruit more in your network marketing business.
