3 reasons why people react negatively to your offer to join your network marketing business
You approach someone with an enthusiastic story and would like to share your experiences about a network marketing business. If they just could experience the experience you’ve had, that would be the best. You will soon notice by the reactions of the most people that this is not the case: “yes, yes, okay! Are you sure? What a load of crap! I know exactly how the network marketing business works!” and a lot of other comments.
Why is it that people react so negatively to the network marketing business?
1. It is natural
People are negative by nature. The negative attitude is a safety mechanism that protects us from danger.
Example: Imagine if centuries ago you would have an alluring offer from an acquaintance. They saw a delicious meal in a cave, and you immediately react positively to it, so it may be your death sentence. As it turned out, it was the sleeping place of an aggressive cave bear. Because of experiences like this in the past people grew a subconscious negative cautious attitude. No wonder that deep down, out of safety, we often first react negatively to proposals.
2. They are confronted with their own inability
Sometimes people see other people doing something they didn't really want to put effort in and didn’t dare to do it. They see this person being successful at it and their first reaction usually isn’t very positive. Why? It often happens that when a person is confronted with his/her own failure or inability (I didn't or couldn't do it and now he/she is going to do it!) they want to show you that you too made a wrong choice and are about to fail your network marketing business even if it isn’t like that.
They can say for example: “I told you! Joining a network marketing business was a really bad idea!”
3. They are reminded of previous experiences
Well, when a friend comes along with a wonderful story or future plans, some might quickly think of their own plans and experiences of failure and never-come true expectations. That never worked out, and since they’re not a moron, their friends plan probably won’t work out either. They decide to bash the idea of their friend and try to talk them out of it by saying: I don’t want you to get in trouble. In the end they might give you advice to do the same thing they did: Just stick with your job and don’t take any risk.
