Habit #2 Tip: “But What Do I Say?”

Meeting one new person a day is easy… if we know what to say.

If we’re shy, that can feel like a challenge—but you’re not alone.

Here’s a tip from Big Al’s newest book, “3 Easy Habits for Network Marketing: Automate Your MLM Success.”

Conversation Starter #9

Shy? Uncomfortable talking to new people? Many others feel exactly the same way.

Imagine we’re at a party, networking event, or business function. To stay in our comfort zone, start a conversation with someone who’s also standing alone.

Look around the room: who’s at the edges, away from the noise? Those are your ideal conversation starters. Try:

“Let me introduce myself. My name is… what’s yours?”
“I’m glad you’re over here away from the noise. My name is…”
“Do you mind if I introduce myself? My name is…”
“Do you mind if I join you here? It’s loud over by the bar.”
“Do you know the organizer of this event?”
“Do you know when the buffet opens? I don’t know about you, but I’m starved.”
“Do you know what time this event ends?”

Safe, simple questions like these guarantee no rejection—and shy people are often grateful that someone reached out.

Making Mental Notes

When a new member joins your team, casually ask questions in the first conversation.

The questions themselves aren’t as important as the answers—they reveal motivation and commitment.

Some examples:

“Do you like learning new things?”
“Are you a self-starter or do you prefer working with a team?”
“What excites you most about this business?”
“Do you want to work closely together or more independently?”
“How long do you think it will take to learn this business?”
“Can you set aside every Tuesday evening for your business?”
“Should we get your convention ticket now?”

Best Friends First

Who should a new distributor talk to first?

Everyone has at least one best friend. If your new distributor’s best friend is open to opportunity, that’s the first person to talk to.

Prospects ask themselves: “Who are you? Can I trust you?”

If your distributor talks to their best friend first, these questions are already answered. Then, growth becomes much easier.

Coach Wade’s tip:

“You don’t want to become successful only for your best friend to find out later that you didn’t tell them about this opportunity. So call your best friend first.”
