This IS the best product! Why don’t they see that?

Thursday is old school/new school day.

Old School: This best product is for everyone!

New School: Do you know anyone who might like to know about a product like that?

It’s human nature to want others to love what we love – a religious conviction, a movie, a belief or a special cause we’re committed to.

But of course in time we all learn the truth of the old cliche, “To each her own.” And we learn to let go.

But not most sales types, especially not network marketers. They insist their thing is the best for everyone.

“This IS the best product! This IS the best science! This IS the best business opportunity! This IS the next Google! Why don’t they SEE that?!”

Have you met networkers with that (almost desperate) attitude?

Two thoughts.

1. Everyone does not have the same interests as you, e.g. alternative health, “financial freedom,” tennis, etc., no matter how important it may be to you. Continuing to insist that the other person MUST see this, MUST try it or do it, makes you a pest. Soon others stop taking your calls and avoiding you in public.

2. Even if a product has done a truly miraculous thing for you, that’s no guarantee it will do that for anyone else. Reason: Product’s good, but bodies are different. They need different things depending on their condition. There’s no way to tell that in advance…

And that’s OK, isn’t it? How many different kinds of toothpastes are there to choose from? Or headache remedies? Does your choice of one make the others bad or less in some way?

Like the French say, Chacun a son gout.

To prove to others that you accept that, how about trying the New School question (after telling your one-line before and after story):

“So, do you know anyone who might like to know about a product like that?”
