If the prospect says that she is not interested in becoming a distributor, at least try to convince her to be a product user. Product users swell your monthly sales turnover and can give you good word-of-mouth publicity. What’s more, many users, once they are convinced the product really is good, become distributors.
You might also try to obtain a sales lead: ‘Mrs Dlamini, I understand your situation. You’re too busy at the moment. Perhaps at a later stage you will find the idea more attractive. Let’s keep the door open. I’m keen to make a success of this new career right now. Could you suggest a couple of people you know who would be interested in supplementing their income?’ In this manner you get straight down to prospecting for leads.
As in any business, you will be rejected on a few occassions. A positive way to handle this is to work out the value of each contact. If each new distributor makes you R90 per month and you have to contact six prospects before signing that person up, each call, win or lose, is worth R15 on average. So even if you get a rejection, mentally say: ‘That’s R15 in the bank!’ This keeps you in a winning frame of mind.
If your prospect is totally disinterested, move on. Thank her for her time, give her your card and leave. There are many more prospects and you can’t win them all. You said you wouldn’t bother her any more, so don’t.
