Talking to a Prospect…..

Relationship Marketing 101

Relationship Marketing

Don’t make a presentation….. .….have a

conversation!

YOU have the products and the business opportunity to solve a problem or need that your prospect has….

How do you get them to look?

Here’s the key to being successful in relationship marketing.

You are a solutions provider….. .….NOT a sales person.

If you are tying to SELL people on looking at your business, you will have a poor success rate.

People are being sold “things” all day long!

People don’t need more “things”…..they need real solutions to problems or needs.

It is your job to find people that might be interested in your solution to their problem or need.

How do you do that?

You need to speak to them in a way that relates to their personality. If you don't, you will not connect.

One way to connect is to use the concept of personality colors.

Personality color is a way of easily recognizing a person's personality type and allows you to speak to them in their language.

Personality Colors

So, what really matters is the color of your prospect and how to figure it out.

For the green you need to provide lots of information and since they don't like meeting people, you would show them your business presentation over the Internet.

Relate…..

Interact…..

You can quickly grab and hold a person's complete attention when you can relate to them by asking questions based on their personality type.

An instant bond develops.

Remember...people join people, they do NOT join companies!

When talking to a yellow personality remember…..

To talk to a yellow, be a yellow. Take the excitement out of your voice and slow down. They see excitement as “hype" and will tune you out when you start talking about the $10,000 a month.

You’ll notice it is very easy to get along with a Yellow straight away. They’ll show concern for you and try to talk about the things you’re interested in. They’ll talk more in terms of “we” and “our”, rather than “I” or “my”.

Examples of some ways to approach the Yellow personality type:

Example 1:

“Mary and Sue, as you know, in this economy everyone is struggling and seems to be looking for ways to secure their financial future. I have been looking for something to do on the side that won’t take me away from my family like an office job. I need to make more money....and I found a way!”

my current work or take me away from my family, but would provide me with a strong income potential, and I have found it! Now I need some help. If I could show you a way to make extra money too, would you be willing to learn more and possibly join me as a business partner?”

Example 2:

“Jill, I decided that I need to diversify my income, I have been looking for something that has flexible hours, that would not interfere with

Example 3:

“Amy, are you looking to make more money and develop better financial security for your family without leaving for an office every day? I have something I would like to show you that could work for both of us….would you be willing to listen?”

When talking to a blue personality remember…..

Get excited when you talk to the blue, talk about the vacation and the family but make it the fun stuff. They dislike being alone, not having fun and a lot of facts and figures.

They can’t help but talk, talk, talk. They’ll give you all the juicy details that you didn’t even ask for. They’ll exaggerate.

Blues are also very easy to get along with. They are friendly people. Just don’t bore them.

Examples of some ways to approach the Blue personality type:

Example 1:

“Susie, I have just discovered a new business with great products that I believe is going to give me the opportunity to meet a lot of fun people, and be financially rewarding....and I am really excited about it!”

Example 2:

“Janie, I just got into a business with some real movers and shakers that are going to take the health and wellness sector to another level. You have a great sense for business and people so could I get you to listen to a friend of mine who I am working with to see if you see the potential that I see in this thing?”

Example 3:

“Tom, I heard you took the family to Florida on vacation this year! I bet that was a blast. We have not been able to take a family vacation in over 2 years….but that is about to change. I just got into a business with some real savvy business people that are going to take the health and wellness sector to another level. Can you come to a meeting this Thursday night and meet some great people who have also taken advantage of this opportunity?”

When talking to a green personality remember…..

Never be late or miss an appointment with a green, don't speak too fast or too slow and enunciate all your words correctly.

Give them all the information, answer all their questions, be upfront and give them more web-sites to visit.

Never push or rush a green, let them figure it all out at their own pace and they'll call you when they have it all analyzed or need more information.

Examples of some ways to approach the Green personality type:

Example 1:

“Dave, every 5 to 7 years a new company brings the right success formula to the market place and breaks all previous records in their industry. Our company is doing that right now because of the convergence of so many unique trends that you can capitalize on. Would you be willing to take a look at my website, send me an email or give me a call and let me know what you think.”

Example 2:

“I have decided to leverage my time with an innovative young company that is positioned to take full advantage of the shift in the economy and the power of social marketing and the Internet.

Jay, if you could make some serious additional income from home a few hours a week without jeopardizing your current job would you be willing to take a look? Here is my business card with my website.”

Example 3:

“John, I have started to work with an innovative young company that is positioned to take full advantage of the growing Internet and wellness market. If you could make some serious additional income working from home setting your own hours, would you be at least willing to take a look? I have the URL to the business where you can find information on the company founders and the potential of this company. Please call me after you have done your research….I would love to hear what you think.”

When talking to a red personality, remember…..

Reds are focused and goal-oriented, very intense and will go after the money no matter what it takes!

When you meet with a red they’ll be asking you the questions and controlling the conversation. And they’ll want quick, straight to the point answers.

Emphasize team building and how they could build their own team. Show them company-wide competition for prizes such as trips to warm places.

Examples of some ways to approach the Red personality type:

Example 1:

“Jennifer, we have an organization of seasoned entrepreneurs who know how to build successful businesses. We are looking for individuals who can take a company national and then international. Would you be interested in a key leadership position?”

Example 2:

“I wanted to ask both of you if the timing is right for you to learn about an expanding business that you can capitalize on? If I can show you a way to diversify your income without side stepping your current job, would I have your attention and interest?”

Example 3:

“Joe, have you been following the trends in Direct Sales or Network Marketing? Donald Trump just started a network marketing business. The experts say the best time to get involved with a good company is within the first 5 years. Guess what I have come across?”
