How to find 250 people to talk to

How to find 250 people to talk to

Remember when you got involved in your network marketing company that you felt really excited about and after you joined then you sat down with your upline for training he / she says “Ok lets’ make a list of the people you know …” and in your head you think “Oh my God I don’t know anyone…”, “what do you mean?” or “I don’t have a warm market to talk to…“. Don’t feel bad most people feel this way when presented with this task. You see most people are resistant to generate such a list of people they know due to either the thought that “I don’t want to bother my friends”, “what my family might think of me”, mainly it boils down to fear. It’s ok don’t feel scared nor act selfish to share something that may benefit them more than you worrying about your self image, remember you are in a business of helping others.

Endless Referrals

In reality you do know people you could talk to, think about this when reading what’s next. Have you read the book Endless Referrals by Bob Burg? In his book he talks about the Sphere of influence, what that means is everyone is a center of influence to about 250 people, they did a study where individuals gathered a list to invite people they know to their wedding and interesting enough each individual who did this came to 250 people. Now imagine every person you talk to is connected to at least 250 people and say in a course of a period of time you talk to 250 people that yields 62,500 people you could potentially reach and talk to, develop a relationship, friendships, etc. Did that just opened your mind a bit to what can be accomplished? I hope it did.

When being coached by your upline most likely he / she will give you a memory jogger which helps a lot to identify people you might not think about normally, also consider this most people in this day and age have everyone they know in their cell phones. Just make sure you accept what they train you on and most importantly implement what you learned.
