Step #1- Get On The Phone.
First things that I teach people to do when building business relationships on Facebook is to get on the
phone with that person after sending a message back and forth a couple of times.
Give them your phone number and then ask for theirs.
Not quite sure what to say once, you get them on the phone?
Your goal is to build a relationship with them and not try to sell them something.
If you try to sell them something, they will sniff you out like a dog can sniff out a human.
You are guaranteed to not be on the phone for long.
The first thing you want to do, before picking up the phone to call is put a smile on your face.
If you don’t feel like smiling don’t call. Your prospect can sense your energy through the phone.
Step #2- Don’t Act Like A Sales Person.
When calling and asking for your prospect, you want to ask for them, as if you were asking for your best friend.
Don’t call and say “Is Diana there? Guaranteed rejection!!! Instead say “Hey Diana this is Rachale
how are you doing today?”
Your prospect is trying to figure out who you are and they don’t want to be rude, therefore they will follow along in most cases until they figure out who you are.
#3- Get To Know Your Prospect
Your 1st line of business is to make a friend by complimenting or encouraging them by
using the {F.O.R.M} method.
F- means find out something
about their family.
O- is learn about their occupation.
R- is learn about their recreations.
M- is delivering the message.
Be sure to be genuine, your prospect can sense what you are up to.
The only way to get them to look at what you have is to get them to know, like and trust you.
They will tell you everything you need to know about them and some things maybe you don’t want to
know. Now that you know exactly what they need and have identified their pain you can provide them a solution.
Step #4- Broaden Your Horizons.
Don’t be judgmental, just because a person does not have the same interest as you , does not mean
they will not make a great business partner. Make friends with somebody you don’t have anything in common with. You can learn from one another.
For example, I want to learn how to play Golf, but if I only make friends with moms who have special needs children, what are the chances that I will learn how to play Golf?
Don’t get me wrong, I love my friends that have children with special needs, but if I want to expand my horizons I must surround myself with people who I want to learn from as well
Step #5- Get Good At Asking Questions.
The person who ask the questions is the person who controls the conversation. You want to ask
questions like: Where are you from? How long have you lived there?
Do you have children? How old are your children? Where do you see yourself in 10 years…etc.
Step #6- Put Your Listening Ears On.
It is important that you become a good listener. The average person who is on the phone talking to someone is not actively listening, but they are thinking about the next question to ask that person.
Step#7- Deliver Your Message
This next step is where you deliver the message and a good place for a script to be used. I highly recommend using a script because they have helped me recruit 36 people in 2 weeks.
There are many script books out there, but out of all of the ones I have used this one is my
favorite along with everything you need to be successful in your business ==> Get My Training and Scripts because it gives me a script for every situation along with an audio training.
Now that you have built a relationship with your prospect and have identified their needs, the chances of them going to your website or a conference call that you suggest has increased.
Remember no one wants to be sold too, but if you can be genuine in building friendships and help
meet the needs of people your business will grow by leaps and bounds.
