You want to cry.

A distributor comes to you and says:

“I can’t find anybody to talk to. Where can I find some good prospects?”

You know this distributor is clueless. Hasn’t got a chance. Doesn’t even know the first set of skills for his network marketing business.

He has already talked to good prospects, but has ruined them by saying the wrong things. And now he wants new people to ruin?

When you try to get him to learn the basic skills, he protests by saying things like:

“You can’t say the wrong thing to the right person.”

Well, I know I have said the wrong things to the right people and they didn’t join. But, the distributor insists on spending money and hours of wasted time and frustration looking for new people to ruin.

I guess someone needs to sit down with the new, clueless distributor and have a heart-to-heart talk about prospecting.
