Let me share with you an interesting story today of how I sneakily “reverse-pitched” a friend of mine who just joined a network marketing company. I’ll also show you some internet marketing techniques I used in my conversation with her.
My friend “AP”, just joined a multi-level marketing company that sells online education courses for kids. She was just telling me how much money I can make with this new business opportunity and wanted to share with me the business model.
I kindly rejected her as I already had my hands full and asked her back instead:
“Hey, since we are on the topic of MLMs, would you be interested in jump starting your network marketing business?”
“How so?” She asked.
Well, I happen to own an online network marketing training course, which I feel would greatly benefit you. It’s written by some of the top network marketers in the industry and It can definitely help you avoid many of the biggest pitfalls in network marketing. (pitching)
(I happen to own a collection of Network Marketing PLR products in my hard drive. Since she’s relatively new to the MLM scene, she was the perfect prospect!)
“How much does the course cost?”She asked.
“Well, I normally the product costs $97, but because we’re good friends I’ll sell it to you for $27.” (price slashing)
All of a sudden, there was a sudden reversal of roles and I was the one selling her!
It seemed like a no-brainer- Getting something that would jump start her business and help her avoid the mistakes of others at a dirt cheap price. Afterall, she already invested quite a sum in this business, so what’s another $27?
As she was about to fork out the cash, I told her I was only joking with her and I’d give it to her for free. I’m not here to make a quick buck, but I seriously wish for her to succeed and I know my books will help her. (guilt-trapping)
I then followed up by asking her, “How would you like to make some easy cash by working together with me? Try the product, and if you like it, for each friend you refer to my online course, i’ll share with you 50% of the profits”. (affiliate/JV recruitment)
I felt it was a match made in heaven. I’d produce the whole online course using my PLR products and marketing resources, and she’ll bring in leads through her contacts in the network marketing industry. Furthermore, she could recommend all newcomers or downlines she recruit to this online course and make more money on top of her business!
So you see, online marketing is actually really similar to real world pitching. The skills you online learn will equip you with the life skills you need to survive in the world’s highly competitive market.
