The purpose of the "warm market" exercise is to use a thought jogger to go through a list of everyone you know or do business with on a regular basis so that you can see just how many people you already know that you can introduce your opportunity to.
With all the excitement you can muster, you pull out the "warm market script" that your sponsor gave you and you get busy working your rolodex. As you go through all of the numbers you notice that your warm market has begun to feel a little "hostile." Some of your closest friends and family will intentionally not use your goods or services. It's almost as if they don't want to see you succeed in your new business.
Now, you've got to face the harsh reality that your warm market friends and family are not going to support you in your efforts to build a brighter future. You begin to harbor thoughts of "crabs in a bucket mentality." Sad but sometimes true. We have no choice but to keep moving in the direction of our goals.
I can not help you understand their behavior but I can offer a solutions. Learning to market on the internet is a must for any MLM owner. Some companies discourage it but you have to admit, holding a lot of home meetings nowadays isn't always the safest thing to do. You need to develop new skills so that you can market 24/7 to the entire world; not just your circle of friends and relatives.
Now, I don't even mention my MLM businesses to my friends or family any more. They have to guess at what I'm doing and they have no clue of how extensive my web experience has become. In fact, it was an attempt to start an MLM business that led me to the web. A short time ago, I had no idea how to market on the web. Now, I market every day and very comfortably.
Keep believing in your dreams. Do not let temporary difficulties stop you from progressing and learning new skills. As Bob Proctor of "The Secret" said "you must believe your dreams are possible for you." I am here to help you and I wish you the best in your venture. Peace...
