Overcoming The Fear Of Prospecting

F.E.A.R – False Expectations Appearing Real.
Because confidence is preparation’s twin, to overcome any fear, you must:
1) understand the beast, and 2) tame the beast.

Three areas of prospecting:

1. Hot Market – Close family & friends.
2. Warm Market – Those you know well.
3. Cold Market – Those you don’t know at all.

Three kinds of prospectors:

1. Prospectors who don’t want to call Close Family & Friends, but will call their Warm Market and may reluctantly do Cold Market prospecting.
2. Prospectors who don’t want to call Close Family & Friends, or their Warm Market, but claim that they want to do Cold Market prospecting.
3. Prospectors who do only Cold Market prospecting.

Isaac says: Prospecting in your business is just as prospecting for gold (digging, carrying, refining, then gold), you must be ready to meet more people who will turn you down and still move on to do it no matter how difficult it seems for you until you get the real clients from the masses. Be willing to take more rejections and don't give up on yourself until........

All the best.
