Everyone wants to add people to their team,s and there are many effective ways to share information about your unique business opportunity. Webinars, videos, social media, live events, one-on-one meetings, three-way calls, and opportunity calls are just a few ways direct sellers reach their potential new team members.
Opportunity calls can be effective, and there are some “myth-understandings” I need to address.
Myth Number One: Opportunity calls are too old school, and they don’t work in a digital age. This new revelation is being touted by many companies that provide live streaming, mobile apps, and the next bells and whistle product. Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of technology and see fantastic value in programs as tools. However, calls are still very effective, provide a warm human touch, and reach people where they are.
Myth Number Two: People will enroll in your company with a recorded call. No, no, and no. A recorded call may provide credibility, use another voice, or entice interest, but it will not recruit people. It is just a tool. Look for an upcoming article about how to use a recorded call.
Myth Number Three: Hold regular meetings (or opportunity events), and people will come. Sorry, it’s not going to happen. Opportunity calls need to be promoted just like an event that you plan.
What myths are holding you back from making opportunity calls? Challenge yourself to do ten this week and see what happens.
