What Matters in Attracting People to Your Home Business
Copyright 2005 Ron LeBlanc
I will assume most people reading this article have a home
business and are engaged in some sort of product based
opportunity. This may apply to you if you are not, but let's
assume you are selling or offering an opportunity that involves
a product. The primary way your home business will grow is by
attracting more people to your products or opportunity.
There are several steps to business growth in between the steps
of advertising and adding a customer. A savvy home business
person is always on the lookout for potential customers. Many
are also advertising in some fashion. Once you have someone who
is showing interest in your opportunity or product, if you would
like to see that person become a home business builder
themselves, then they need to see a compelling reason why they
should pursue it.
Yes, a quality product and company are necessary. Yes, a good
presentation is also necessary....unless there is something so
irresistible that people are drawn to you.
In a previous article on home business, I discussed how to talk
to people about your business and emphasized the point that you
should come across as the opposite of needy. I think it is
necessary to state it differently here.
There should be a clear sense in you that you are "radiating" a
sense of where you are going with this opportunity. Let me
clearly state that it is much more important where you are going
than where you have been! It works both ways.
If you are new to home business or have previous bad experience,
you must get to the
place in your belief where you know for sure
where you are going. You can overcome much reluctance in people
with your confidence.
Believe it or not, it also works from the other end. A friend of
mine that has had seven figure success in home business said he
was in a slump a while back and couldn't figure it out. It
dawned on him that he was focused on where he was and what he
had already accomplished! When he changed his focus to his new
set of goals and where he was going in the future, people were
once again attracted to him.
It seems strange that someone with phenomenal success in home
business could be hampered by a lack of looking ahead, but it
really happened. This is one of the hallmarks of leadership -
people follow you when they have a clear sense of where you are
going.
This can take the form of either concrete goals in terms of
sales volume or income, or it can take the form of personal
goals you have such as a vacation home in the mountains. I
personally recommend that it be tied in with your "why" of your
home business in the first place.
A powerful compelling why coupled with concrete goals or
milestones will make you and your home business attractive and
unstoppable!
