Do you know what your prospects Want?

Have you tried talking to lots of people about your opportunity?

And… they couldn’t care less about it!

Or.. they are very polite and pretend they’re interested,
but make lots of excuses.

That’s probably because they didn’t want it in the first place:-)

Some years ago, my upline convinced me I really should m’arket offline as well as online.

So, I thought it might be fun to work with people locally,
and he made it sound pretty easy.

I belonged to a swimming club, so thought I would start there.

One day when I went swimming, I took the biz opp DVD along  and asked
one of the guys if he would have a look at it,  and tell me what he thought.

He said “of course I’ll look at it for you Julieanne”.

He put it in his bag and off we went doing our swimming laps!

That was easy!

I told him I would call in a few days to see what he thought.

(That wasn’t easy at all)

His wife answered the phone, she wasn’t very friendly,  but she put him on the line. And, I asked him that dreaded question.

“What did you think of the movie?”

He said “So, that’s what you’re doing is it?

I’m not interested in starting a b’usiness,  but the products look really good.

Can you bring a sample along to the next swim meeting?”

I rocked up to the barbecue we had after swimming,
with a little cooler to keep the products cool. He tried the product
in front of everyone else, and in a really loud voice said..

“you know, people tell me snake oil makes you healthy too“.

It was sooo embarassing and he had no intention of
buying the product.

Anyway…. to cut a long story short,

I didn’t have much fun speaking to people who weren’t asking for information in the first place.

That’s why I LOVE Internet Marketing because you can target
your marketing towards people who ARE actually looking
for what you have to offer.

There are millions of people searching online for solutions
to their problems.  And, I’m sure your product or
service will provide a solution for many of those searchers.

That gives you a huge audience, much bigger and
more targeted than the people you know.

So… if you’re going to m’arket your products or service online,
the most important thing to do before anything else is:

Decide WHO YOUR Target Market is.

And, base your decision on what you’re passionate about,
because this will make it fun and exciting for you!

So….. what’s your story about contacting people “out of the blue” who haven’t
asked for your product or service?

Do you have an embarrassing story or a good one to tell?
