Hi ______, this is ______, with (COMPANY). We spoke on ______. You sounded like you were very interested in our Business, and may have the attributes I am looking for in a working partner. Did you take the Online Tour?

Responses to Common Objections from the Business Invitation

1. I don't have the money, or what will this cost?

Do you like not having money? It won't cost you anything to take a look, but it might cost you a lot not to.

Hey, this is a money MAKING opportunity, not a money SPENDING opportunity. Take a look, and you tell me if you think you can make any money at it.

What would you say if I told you it costs $450 but you could make it all back in as little as one week?

2. I don't have the time.

Do you like not having any free time? Give me 20 or 30 minutes and I'll show you how you can finally get more time.

That's exactly why we need to get together for 20-30 minutes. This could help you get more time for yourself.If you don't spend a little time checking out other options, when do you see your schedule becoming less hectic?

3. Is this selling? I don't like selling.

No. It's not selling. I don't like selling either. This is sharing, offering, helping and teaching.

4. I don't know many people.

This will give you an opportunity to meet some new people and make some new friends. You'd be surprised how easy it is to meet people when you have something everyone needs and wants.

5. I need to talk it over with my spouse.

That's great. Let's all get together. Two sets of eyes are better than one.

And you should. He/she should be in on any decision that can change your life like this can. Let's all get together. Two sets of eyes are better than one.

6. Is this network marketing or Multi-level level marketing??

Do you like Network marketing or MLM? (Yes / no) Good, then you're going to love this. This is nothing like you've ever seen before.

(If No) What do you mean? (Have them explain. Don't assume they don't like it.) Then say: There are several options available. You really need to check out the whole plan before you know which is best for you.

7. I don't like dealing with products or pushing products.

I don't either, all we do is offer discounted electricity, and refer interested people to our website.

8. Is this a pyramid??

No. Pyramids are illegal. I wouldn't get involved in anything illegal and I wouldn't ask you to either.

Ask them what they mean by a pyramid. They're probably referring to the pyramid shape of the organization. If they are, tell them that you prefer to refer to it as a leveraged income matrix, because unlike other pyramid shaped organizations (government, church, military, and their job!) the guy just getting in can exceed everyone above him.

9. I am 100% focused on my business and I don't want to get off track.

I understand and appreciate your dedication. I don't want you to commit to anything. I just want your feedback. I respect your opinion.

10. How much are you making?

I'm just getting started, but I think it has great potential. Would you look at it and tell me what you think?

You wouldn't believe it if I told you, besides, you might NEVER make what I do! You may make ten times more, or you may make nothing. I will tell you though, that you will get paid what you're worth, unlike your job.

NOTE: I never say. It either intimidates people or it limits them on what they think THEY can do.

11. I don't have any experience.

That is the best part. You don't need any, and they have free ongoing training.

Hey I didn't have any either. Anyone can do this business.

Your response after the objection is always the same:

Just take a look.
I respect your opinion.
It may not be for you.
It's not for everyone.
When can we get together?

Remember, you're not selling; you're looking for open-minded people who want to make a change in their lives.
