Complements.. works for the Ego of everyone

This was good. This I will say.

Great script. Thank you.

A compliment is good when it is true and honest.

This is a good one, it makes them understand, that you are serious and also that they don't have to be involved if they do not want to....

Thats a awesome first line! Your the best!

compliment: I always love the fact that you support me, no matter what...
A brilliant way of inviting close realtions to support you

Your tips come always just exactly in time... really good way to appraoch family !

good show, and I have added it to my " new TM-hotlist" to watch
~

Great advice.

I never try to "sell" my family and close friends on what I do. Instead I just tell them what I am doing and why I am doing it, that's it. Later at some get together event they may ask how I am doing and I tell them honestly. If they have interest then I do exactly that, complement them.

Thanks Eric!

I understand prospecting, compliment people and the 8 steps. However, how do I retain, encourage and build a successful team ?

That's really a great compliment. We all need to hear that we are valuable to someone else and complimenting a fimilymember in that way really opens them up and at leqast take a look and support you / Linda, Sweden

Simple and effective...

I will definitely use this on my family. Can't wait to see the response. They can be your toughest critics and skeptics.

The Kremlin looks amazing! and Eric we support you too :)

#349 - Great information. Thanks

I agree that the support from your friends and loved one is enough. They dont have to join the business, but they need to encourage me in my process. I dont want to be surrounded by people that puts me down.

This concept is very simple and a good way to start a conversation. The funny thing is that it's just as easy not to do as it is to do... so just do it! By the way... Moscow looks like an extremely beautiful place. I would love to go there.

Appreciation genuinely given for the fact someone has supported you is a great compliment for friends, family and associates. It must be true and said with sincerity to be effective. Thank you, Eric, I appreciate you!

Like the simple approach for friends and family. Good stuff. Compliments truly are a lead-in for the next step.

Fantastic !! This does work !!!

Must review "Hottest recruiting scripts".

Like it! Compliment's work well with everyone, but this is great idea. Thank you, Eric.

Good advice, thank you!

Thanks for that one. I´m sure it will be heplful.

Complementing people is a great opener.

I really like that particular compliment for those who really are supportive.

Complimenting was something that I used on a very inconsistent basis and probably at the wrong times as well. Now that I'm well aware of the 8 steps it's a part of my process.

Thanks for the tip. Heart-felt compliments always open doors..........

Great advice, but remember what Mark Twain said about a compliment....

"There is nothing you can say in answer to a compliment. I have been complimented myself a great many times, and they always embarrass me--I always feel that they have not said enough."

ahhhhh.....ain't it the truth, ain't it the truth....(wink)

Hola Eric, very nice place¡¡ Excelent show¡¡ If we want good results,we need to work,work,and work¡¡

Saludos.

Great Tip! Sometimes family can be the hardest to approach

I always loved the fact that you support me no meter what.
I always loved the fact that you care for me and support me no meter what.
Thank you for these scripts.

Compliment to diffuse scepticism with family and friends, love it. Thanks Eric

Excellent!! Can't wait to start using that one. As long as we have the support of family and friends, it doesn't matter whether they join or buy. Powerful.

Compliment your way to success. Great tip.

That is a great suggestion, I sure wish I would have had it for my Father. I am going to try it by going back to him. It is something that I might be able to use for many of my warm contacts. Even some on my chicken list.

Taking "from the heart" to friends and family and making reference to the importance of their support is powerful and lightens the journey. Thank you Eric.

That's all I ask of family and friends is to support what I do.

Thank you Eric, Acknowledge and thank them for their support. It is as important for them to hear it as it is for you to say it.

Really like that. I put it in my toolbox.
Thank Eric and have a great day

Excellent Thoughts Again Eric! Thanking Them for Their Support is an "agreeable" comment that anyone would appreciate hearing and feel good about. Open the mind and they will then give you a moment :)

Eric, Compliment's work well with everyone.

Mastering the art of the compliment!! Thanks so much Eric~~

You always make everything sound so easy. ......... That was great advise! Thank you

I must go inside the Kremlin museum. With a Builder backround, I am amazed at the intricate exterior but dying to capture the wisdom within.
Great video, a professional establishes rappor.

Yes, compliments do bring down the barriers when you are trying to talk to people. Way to go Eric!!!
You da Man...

Thx Eric that is some great advice as usual...after giving a compliment like that it will be hard for anyone who truly cares to say no to attending a presentation.

Kudos to the words delivered today.

excellent tool to use. Thanks

Great tip.

I will use that, thank you!

And as Art Jonak tell´s us...

“You are NOT obligated to make lots of retail sales. Sure, it would be nice, but it’s not mandatory.

“You are NOT obligated to buy lots of products and services. Again, that would be nice, but you are not obligated to do so.

“You are NOT obligated to harass your friends to come to opportunity meetings.

“You are NOT obligated to go the company convention.

“You are NOT obligated to give recruiting presentations every night of the week.

“You are NOT even obligated to return my phone calls!”

Yes, we have only a single obligation to fulfill. Everything else in network marketing is optional. What is that obligation in our business?
We must notify our friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers that we have decided to start our own part-time network marketing business.

And that´s all.

Love you all.

#349 - Script for Friends and Family - I know that compliments go a long way, if they are sincere. Thanks, Eric for the compliment idea for people we know like friends and family.

This advice is fantastic. Telling people that you are thankful for their support in the past will make them more open to what you will offer them in the future since they have "molded" you with their support. Thanks Eric.

Thank you for a great advice. Have a nice day.

very true! great example.

Sounds like a great plan to let those you appreciate know you do appreaciate them. Thanks.

Another fabulous show! I will be utilizing this today. Thanks Eric!

I think this little additional advice will help alot of people to approach their close family and friends with more confidence and will yield great results.

Always best to show appreciation to those that are close to you. :)

Perfect timing Eric! I will be spending some time this week and weekend with friends and family. I haven't been home in 3 years. It's going to great.

I get back home Wednesday. You aren't thinking of coming to Minnesota without coming to see ME are you???

We will find a way to connect. It's time.

yes this is a great consept :)

Great way of setting up your family and friends Eric...I'm going to give it a shot..and teach a few of my team with this credibility issue with family members!

I love it...if it honestly fits the situation! I couldn't honestly say that about every family member and friend, and the person you are talking to would know if they have been supportive or not. If you can't say it honestly then it would be received as manipulative. If they have been supportive, then it would be a wonderfully, positive way to start the conversation!

Yes of course. Good clarification. I've found that most family members and close relations, even if they tend to be negative, would still have your back in a tough situation. Maybe you could phrase it that way?

Great script to warm up the conversation.

Excellent pitch. Take it away from them and they'll be curious for sure. Another great option that has worked for me is the "who do you know" approach. "Who do you know" that might be interested in better health, or earning an extra $500-$1000 a week, month, etc. Good stuff for sure!

I always love the fact that you bring a solid message. I love the fact that you have our back. Thanks

What a disarmingly SIMPLE way to ask friends and relatives. Even if they were to say "no, thank you", you'll feel OK and they will continue to support you.

Makes sense to us. Good idea.

I like it!

see there you go again with great advice and simple ways to help us.. Thanks Eric You da Man

Smart compliment. Nice way to open them up and make them curious about what you have.

Theodore from Greece

That is great advice.

That's always a good compliment to use. How can any relative turn you down with that? It's really non-threatening and it puts them in the mood that 'hey, I'm going to take a look at this thing to see if I would recommend it for my (uncle, cousin, brother etc) to get involved with.

I love this compliment - "I've always appreciated and loved the fact that you support me and have my back no matter what..." Thanks Eric

Feels manipulative to me, but maybe that's all in my head...

Oooh!

What about: "You've always been someone to see something, jump in, and make a HUGE success of it- ESPECIALLY a business idea that you could work with a friend or family member.."

How's THAT one???

"You have always supported me in everything I have done . . ." works fine if family members have been supportive.

Yet I have people who have joined my group who come with mlm battle scars. They have worn out their welcome with friends and family, possibly because of being in several companies previously, no longer support them. What to say here? ___________________________

Complement them in other areas?


To your success! dave sommers

Thanks for the tip Eric, and also for the views in Russia

Fantastic approach! Never really thought of approaching family and friends in this manner. What a nugget for today!

Again Eric you're keeping things simple, yet very effective .. thank you.

Very good approach. I will use it, and thank you for always supporting us and having our backs!

I love it, I'm gonna use it.

Thanks again for taking us with you to Russia. I can't believe all the wonderful places you have been. I too would like to visit them all once again. I reflected on what you said and have realized the times I have bought or been influenced is when someone has created an atmosphere of comfort for me, and did not pressure the sale at all.

What is one aspect of NM PRO success.. Locations Locations Locations! Talk about irony. Talking about capitalism in RED SQUARE.. too awesome.. Very significant too! Todays lesson ripped right out of the hottest mlm scripts and the GO PRO CD Series... Thanks Eric. Red Square and The Sistine Chapel in less than a week..

Great line that epitomizes sincerity. Thanks, Eric!

Eric, this is GREAT info! You are so awesome at this - you are my inspiration!

It makes all the sense in the world

Yes, variations on this theme make sense, IF you are sincere and authentic, otherwise it's just another set up and people can sense that a mile away. As is true with any type of giving, verbal or financial or time or material, it actually feels good to compliment someone. It's still about just being a person not a 'sales'person.

The challenge is for our compliments to be sincere and from the heart. Easy to say but hard to do consistently. Thanks for the reminder.

Yikes, this is one area I have need to restore from earlier days. Thanks for the reminder and help.
No day is better than today to use this nugget.

That is a great one - used it just yesterday with a close friend and the result was amazing!

Great idea - so sorry I didn't use it before with close friends and family. I suppose its never too late...

First let me say that I am glad you caught your flight on time. Secondly, let me say that I like the idea of that compliment. I believe this is one of the most important aspects in any business.

I finally putting the philosophy of prosperity and specific languange together. Thanks for sharing and teaching how to have both in order to be succesful.

Great advise!

I agree with Micheal about getting out of the comfort zone to compliment people sincerely, sounds easy but sometimes difficult. Thanks again for the reminder to get out there and do what's uncomfortable.

Adding it to my scripts. Thank you Eric.

Appreciate the tip and it's very simple but I can see how it will be very effective. Thanks!

I have to say, I do find it very difficult to compliment people - especially strangers - although I see and accept the power of doing it! Suggestions like this are useful; I now have to push myself out of my comfort zone once more, to do so!
Michael

What a brilliant and easy to action approach. Great stuff. Eric you are officially the super cutest network marketer on TV!

Compliments need to be sincere.

Awesome place Eric. Thanks for todays lesson. Best regards from your biggest fan.

This type of compliment seems to the prospect to focus on our relationship first, which makes them more open to hearing about the opportunity.

Thanks Eric. Complimenting is always a great way to start a conversation.

Power of compliment, always give value to other people.
Nice approach.

Simple yet effective. Thank you.

tks for that tip
again great stuff
luc

Like it. Need it. Will use it.

Yes! Absolutely! This is great!
Fired Up And Focused!
Alex Tita
Here as promised.

Like it!

Nice opener. It would be very difficult for somebody to then cut you down after saying that.

This is a good approach of getting your family & friends support. If they support you first, then eventually see how comitted to success you are they will probably join you.
P.S. Don't forget to ask for referrals too!

Thank for the reminder.... :)

how about saying something like I always respected your opinion... can you take a look at this? tell me what you thhink?

I totally agree that compliments work much better. My family however, consist of a number of people by which giving a compliment does result in a turn-around and, unfortunatly, a few people that want to critisize no matter what. Even if you give them a genuine compliment they will turn it around so it look like they are being critisized which gives them an excuse to critisize you. I have already figured out that this is being of lake of self-esteem by the person I am talking to and I accept that. I try to build their self-esteem but I also accept that they may not be ready for it.
So, whilst I agree with you that giving a compliment works well in general, the person you give the compliment to has to be ready to receive it. If they are not ready just accept that as it is not something you can do anything about (however, do have a look at your self and look if ´It´s my family, I can´t do anything about it` is not a lame excuses for not working on yourself.

Nice set up for the approach.

Thanks for that tip, always compliment!

#349 I appreciate that you’ve always been there for me and had my back.
A Good Friend Is Like A Good Bra. Hard to Find, Supportive, Comfortable, And Always Close To Your Heart!

It Is a good way to get your friend to look at your business. And What happens that your friends/family are sceptic after they saw the third part tool? How do you deal with them on your second approach?

Great one...going to use it this week!
