Hello Great MLM Leaders!
I hear it all the time, even while standing at the Ice Sculptures at Company Events!
"How do I proceed from here?"
"What should I do?"
"What would you do?"
"How should I handle this person?"
And a whole host of other questions about their leads, contacts, prospects and even new business partners or customers that bought, but who are not:
A) Interested
B) Committed
C) Responsive
D) Able to Decide
E) Coachable
F) A combination or all of the above or even more...
It could be a Lead, a Prospect or even a new Distributor, Business Partner or Customer who you feel this distance from, but regardless, here is what you do...

NOTHING!
That's right. Move on.
You might make one final PHONE Call to this person to let them know that when they are ready, serious or committed to get back to you, but after that, no more.
If you reach out a couple or a few times and there is NO response, NO Action, NO Commitment or NO Decision, detach, let go and MOVE ON!
The sooner you do, the more successful you are going to become.
The sooner you quit emailing your sponsor or upline leader about the "baffling" situation, wondering about it, calling to ask what to do with these people and a whole host of other reactions, the sooner you will be well on your way to unbelievable success.
That's right!
Too many people stay so attached to their leads and prospects even if they did call back, or did re-visit your website 219 times or did say they would get back with you or that they were interested or that they really wanted to know more info, blah, blah, blabitty blah!
LOOK HERE:
Your objective as a marketer, business builder, sponsor, teammate or upline is to give people the opportunity to make a decision and do something about it if their decision is to get started, sign up, enroll, or take any action based on any committment.
I discuss this in detail on my Upfront Prospecting CD with Joe Syverson.
Even if they do sign up, get started, take action or tell you what they are going to do next, they still must act on it and do it.
Here's a quick question:
Q: There are 5 frogs on a log and 1 decided to jump off. How many are left?
Want to guess????
The answer is.....drumroll please.............5! YES....FIVE!
Just because one decided to jump off, doesn't mean that they just jumped off and did what they said they were going to do by when they said they would do it.
ADVICE
Quit listening to what people say and just watch what they do!
No more attachment.
No more wondering.
No more waiting for people to act on their committments or even make one.
Just GO!
FAST!
And stay focused on the focused, who do what they say they will and who get back with you, sign up, show up and step up!
Less attacment, more resilience and MOVE ON toward the top with those who are ready, willing and able to go with you NOW!
Until my next post...
