The Art of Prospecting Successful People

No need to re-invent the wheel on this one.  Total attribution goes to Ray Higdon.  

I simply think this is so important to understand (and he does such a good job of explaining it) that I want to include it here;

There is a video on this page as well as the article:  https://rayhigdon.com/the-art-of-prospecting-successful-people/

Good stuff.  Take notes with the objective of integrating into how you view and manage your business.

The Role of Respectability

Anyone with a conscience needs to be proud of what they do.  This pride extends to all areas of our business.  Our mission, how we operate, how we treat people... are all internally consistent with each other.  Your role is to rise to this level of expectation.  That is, to rise to the level of a Professional home business owner who offers value to those you work with. Being respected as a role model in terms of how you comport yourself, the "clues" you leave to others about success, and the overt expression of your leadership all combine to form the mantle you wear on a daily basis.  The adage is, "respect is earned". Digging deeper, the more problematic aspect of respectability is in regard to our business model and fighting the stigma of person-to-person commerce.  There is no getting around the fact that we battle the, "oh... it's one of those things" perception of our industry.  In many cases, this reputation is warranted due to the failure ra...

Risk Tolerance

I grew up with the expression, "too poor to pay attention".  This is a kind of tongue-in-cheek expression to describe people burdened by poverty.  Life for many is about survival and getting from month to month.  People in these circumstances are so busy getting through today, that there is no time left to think about tomorrow (their future). The next step up this ladder is people with little to no risk tolerance due to their budgets being so tight that they can't afford to "play around" with any risks.  In other words, they have to pay their bills.  They go to work to make it so.  And this cycle repeats itself over and over and over - in many cases for entire lifetimes. Given this reality, there are really two perspectives as they relate to what we do: These people are simply not a match for what we do.  They are better off keeping on the path they are on because they literally can not afford to take a risk.  What we do is not for everyone, and t...

Payment Platforms

There is an email in our system that talks about "having ways" to get paid.  In the first tier of our business model, we are in the direct-pay / instant-pay arena in terms of the vehicles we use to earn income. It (should) go without saying that in an online environment where commerce is taking place, you will need platforms to enable transactions.  In other words, you will need to set up relationships with payment platforms and link these platforms to your existing financial resources - .typically this is your bank account and your debit or credit card. Why?  You need to have ways for people to pay you.  The more payment platforms you are set up with, the more ease there will be in enabling people to "transact" with you. The most fundamental and universal of these is PayPal.  If you do not have a PayPal account, you will want to get one.  As well, PayPal owns Venmo.  You will want a Venmo account as well. CashApp, Facebook Pay, Google Pay are ...
