It seems lately that ever since I joined with my new company Seacret and word got out that I am having parties and asking my friends and family to support my new business, I am an outcast. People Stop returning my calls, texts, ignore my emails, invites and all things related to me! WHY? Because they are afraid to say no, or maybe they don't want me to bother them?, or could be they are broke? Who knows the real reason but there are many of them that have left with the crickets chirping.
I guess I understand no one wants to hurt my feelings, but honestly ignore me is that worse part. I would rather someone tell me they want to be my friend and they would love to hear more, but probably won't buy anything. If we are friends shouldn't they be able to tell me that?
I dunno it makes me sad that my friends won't listen to my business that I am so extremely excited about, I mean a chance to make more money, to be home with Kayla more, to pay off my debt? If I got another promotion most of those people would be buying me dinner or a drink to celebrate but doing an MLM....NOPE not the same. I wonder why that is, really? This is better than any JOB I've had but sadly many ignore me, in fear I may ask them to buy something or try to run a business with me.
IF Target, Wal-mart or any other retailer runs an ad...we all take off on Turkey day to go get it, but a friend invites to a party to help support them, and other local business, and you are to busy? Its just hard for me but I am sure we all have our reasons.
If you want the truth people we would love it if you would buy all our products host a thousand parties for us but in all honesty your support is what matter. Answering the phone and saying that your excited for me. Even coming to a party or hosting one just to show your support. Many times we know that you aren't interested but maybe you know someone who is, or maybe that one person that comes to the party you hosted for us, signs up. That's money that feeds my family, put a roof over our head. I understand not all are going to be interested but to not even take the time to see if what I offer IS something you might like or maybe your neighbor, relative or friend could benefit.
In my JOB, as an Insurance agent, people refer customers to me all the time (and I usually insure them also), why not about skincare? Instead of sending them to buy from a stranger or big box store, how about a friend trying to get ahead?
Many of us MLM, business owners, Stay at home people, working part time to pay the bills just need support, maybe advice on our sales pitch, could be we just need to practice. We all would love your support not just in money, but party hosting, referrals, or just an encouraging word that you notice how hard your friend is working.
