WHY IT MAY BE DIFFICULT CONVINCING OTHERS TO JOIN HELPING HANDS

*WHY IT MAY BE DIFFICULT CONVINCING OTHERS*

This is the first hurdle that comes to mind immediately you joined a network marketing plan such as Helping Hands. Your mind begins to race back and forth...... "How do I convince others" ??? While nobody is a witch or wizard at convincing others, some are truly gifted at it while others just can't see themselves doing it so they think they've lost their registration money.

Why are some people good at convincing others while others are not? Below are the reason I think can be the problems and the insight to surmount them and be a guru too if you're willing.

*1* *You're not convinced yourself* 

You may have joined with N6,600 or N19,800 or N46,200 or even N100,000 but if you don't have that inner assurance or conviction why you are doing helping hands, just one question from a prospect like "are you sure this is real"??? and you may be thinking you have made a wrong decision by joining. 

You're not sure of the reason you're doing it. You know there is possibility of benefiting a lot but you don't know how you can ever get lucky by convincing just one person. Being sure of what networking is and its advantages and how people doing it are forging ahead will give you the confidence to talk to anyone about it. I'm not talking about seeing other people's *Helping Hands car* before that inner conviction wells up in you, i'm talking about your "why" for registering and discovering other people's "why" also. 

By telling others why they should be doing this, you will close more registrations deals than ever before. An example of a good reason to be doing this is because of the opportunity to bring out the best leadership skills in you. 

*2* *You don't know what and what to say* 

When we come across a wonderful thing, we feel happy telling our friends, while that state of excitement is very necessary to convince a prospect, you may be forced to say some things that will underscore your campaign than convert the prospect. An example of some wrong things people say is "come and join *this thing for N6,600* and they will give you a car. Every human being is intelligent in their own right. The person you're telling to bring N6,600 to get a car without telling him what it entails would just be thinking "how is this possible"?? N6,600 to get a car must be a scam.

*Helping hands is a charity organisation that incorporates network marketing into its reward system. What they do is for members and non members alike. You are expected to build a team of other enthusiastic people like you to grow from stage to stage in order to earn*.........

This above makes the topic so clear leaving less questions in the prospect's mind. *Avoid anything you know that when you say it, it'll raise a lot of bothering questions in the mind of the person you're talking to*

(You too don't you like my brief explanation?)

*3* *You don't believe you can* 

There is no teacher for anyone who would not learn. There is nothing anyone can do, once you don't believe you can do something by yourself with minimal motivation and guidance, *it is finished* the story can not continue. The person has by him or herself put a full stop to his journey even before starting.

You must first believe in yourself as a human being. You must believe in yourself in God. If someone believes in you, and you don't believe in yourself, there is little or nothing the person can add to your bottom line. You are ok even if the whole world does not believe in you but you believe in yourself, but you are not if everyone believes in you but you don't believe in yourself. *its a sorry case* dont let it be you.

*4* *Not Knowing the game theory of large numbers*

The theory of large numbers is the mathematical secret to success.The theory of large numbers is what Lord Jesus was explaining with the parable of the sower. Desired results only come when you work with a large number of samples of data. You can't just talk to 5 people about helping hands and expect all 5 people to join. The probability you will convince one person is very low.

We can use what God has created to understand how heaven works. God could have done it in such a way that men have one spermatozoan at every given time. But millions of spermatozoa are released during each intercourse because large numbers of spermatozoa are needed for *one* to fertilise the egg in life.

*You need to talk to a lot of people before you can easily convince one person*

By talking to just 10 different people in a week and expecting all 10 of them to join your teamis unrealistic and *can lead to frustration*

*there is no way you will talk to 100 people by saying the right things that you will not convince more than 5 good prospects* Success requires you talk to a lot of people before you can succeed.

This is the theory of large numbers, the more people you talk to and the more time you allocate in talking to them, the better your chances are at convincing them.
