10 Proven Strategies For Improving Your Telephone Results

Making prospecting calls in MLM for many is so difficult the majority never even make any! If you don’t pick up the phone and contact people your business will never grow because the telephone is the most important tool at your disposal.

You can't build a large check sitting behind a PC being a computer jockey. It can help to get things going for your business by leveraging your time with your autoresponder messages being read while you're asleep, but prospects will need to hear your voice. Hearing someone's voice eases many concerns about the unknown!

Prospects need to feel they can trust, know or like you before they will do business with you.

How do you get over the fear of making prospecting calls? By picking up the phone and taking ACTION TODAY. Not someday because the road to someday leads to the town of nowhere!! You only become competent at something, by first gaining experience.

And you can't gain experience if you don't take action. You don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going!! Fall forward fast, make mistakes and learn from your experiences. It will be fun :) I have.

I was the biggest scardy cat out there and made one prospecting call in five years! Guess how big my check was after five years... zilch!!

Enough was enough!! I decided I could do it because I had nothing to lose and everything to gain... what was the worst that could happen? Nothing! It wasn't that the prospect could chase after me for calling him up... I lived 3,000 miles away across a great expanse of Atlantic ocean :)

It helps if you're not calling people out of the phone book too! For that you need thick skin and brass balls ;) It's not the way to build a downline...because it's not duplicatable.
