Readers have learned from painful experience: most people run when they hear an MLMer coming. They all know what that means: you’re about to be hit up.
Yet saying nothing might not be the best strategy either – they might know someone good, right?
So here’s one thing we do in our new little start up: stop completely asking them about them and their interest. Ask instead if they know anyone.

I was at the mall on Christmas Eve Day getting some money out of the ATM. A woman was behind me in line.
I thought, what the heck.
Me: “Excuse me, do you know anyone who drinks energy drinks? We’re here in Buffalo promoting a new product and would love to find people to share it with.”
Her: “Well, I drink energy drinks.”
Me: “Wow, great! I’m actually on my way to meet a friend, but here is my card and a sample for you to try.”
Her: “Can I have another card? I have a friend who’s a body builder and would love to try it.”
Me: “Of course! [Some more talk about energy drinks]”
Her: “Thanks. Maybe I can drum up some business for you.”
Kim, I’m telling you, your advice is like GOLD to me.
