It\u2019s that gut-wrenching feeling that keeps you from making that call, sending that message, or reaching out to someone you know could benefit from your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the truth: that fear has to be dealt with. You can\u2019t avoid it. You can\u2019t hide from it. If you want to succeed in this business, you\u2019ve got to face it head-on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post, I\u2019m going to lay out a straightforward approach for tackling your fear of prospecting. It\u2019s not going to be easy, but if you follow this process, you\u2019ll get through it\u2014and eventually, that fear will start to fade.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Face the Fear: It\u2019s the Only Way Forward<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you need to do is swallow the pill of reality: the only way to get over your fear of prospecting is to <\/span><b>face it<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There\u2019s no magic pill, no shortcut. You have to go right through it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stop running away. Stop making excuses. Stop letting that fear control you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve seen over and over again: once you start doing the thing you\u2019re afraid of, you realize it wasn\u2019t nearly as bad as you made it out to be in your head. But you can\u2019t come to that realization until you take that first step.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Power of the \u201cLinking\u201d Strategy<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the simplest strategies I\u2019ve found for overcoming the fear of prospecting is what I call the <\/span><b>\u201clinking\u201d strategy.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Here\u2019s how it works:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your first call or send your first message.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Realize that you survived.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Link that success to your next call or reach out.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process starts a chain reaction. Each time you do it, the fear lessens a little more. You realize that prospecting isn\u2019t the monster you\u2019ve built it up to be. With each new exposure, the fear gets smaller, and your confidence grows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s about <\/span><b>repeated exposure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The more you face that fear, the less control it has over you. Eventually, prospecting will become just another part of your day. No big deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Your Fear is Holding You Back<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re reading this and feeling that fear rise up, good. It means this is exactly what you need to hear. The fear of prospecting is probably the biggest thing holding you back from growing your business, and you\u2019re the only one who can do something about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want real success in network marketing, it starts with mastering the art of prospecting.
