One of the biggest challenges in recruiting
is overcoming objections. When someone offers an objection,
they are not saying no. Instead, they are sharing a concern
or challenge that they need help solving. Learning to handle
objections smoothly takes practice. It’s not only a
matter of knowing what to say, but knowing how to listen and
share from your heart. By really connecting with the potential
recruits, you need to take your focus off yourself and truly
think about how you can help that individual person. What
if I told you there was a simple method for overcoming objections
that dramatically boost your recruiting, would you want to
know how?
Here’s how to become the queen of closing
-- show your potential recruits you CARE!
Check for understanding
Acknowledge
Respond honestly
Expectantly wait.
Imagine if instead of rattling off 101 reasons why your
opportunity is the greatest on earth, that you actually
stopped, connected, and shared with them from the heart?
Using the CARE method of recruiting, let’s you bond
with them as a person. It changes to focus to being on them,
how this opportunity will truly help them, and how you can
help them overcome any challenges of time, money, or fear
that they might have.
Here’s an example.
Let’s say I am doing a recruiting appointment with
Susie.
We are having a cup of coffee to discuss my business opportunity.
Susie is a young mom with 2 kids.
Recruiter asks, “So Susie, is there
any reason why you wouldn’t want to try our business
opportunity?
Susie, “Actually, your business opportunity
sounds great, but I don’t know how I’d find
the time to do it. I am so busy with errands and taking
care of the kids.”
Stop right here. What Susie is saying is not that she is
not interested. She is saying that she has a problem of
not knowing how to make enough time to work your business
opportunity in her schedule. She wants you to help her solve
her problem. Here’s how you respond with the CARE
method.
C - Check for Understanding - Mirror back
what you think you heard her say. Nod your head and look
her in the eye.
Recruiter - “So Susie, you are saying
that you are really busy?”
Susie, “Yes, it’s really crazy
being a mom and trying to get everything done.”
A - Acknowledge - This is like giving
a verbal hug and really honoring her feelings.
Recruiter - “Oh Susie, you time is
really limited huh?”
Susie - “Yes, I try so hard to give
me kids a good life. It takes a lot of time and effort.”
R - Respond honestly - Share that you
understand how she is feeling. Here is where the feel, felt,
found method works great. Show her that you can help her
solve the problem she is mentioning in the objection.
Recruiter - “I know we moms are always
busy running around doing things for the family. I know
lots of moms feel that way. We have actually found that
busy moms do great with this opportunity because they are
really on top of things. If I could show you how to work
this into your schedule would you be interested?"
E - Expectantly wait - After you say your
last close to overcome the objection, just pause and wait
to see what she says. Make sure the next words that are
spoken are hers.
If Susie offers another objection, you start over again
with understanding her issue, acknowledging it, responding
honestly, and waiting. If Susie offers 3 objections, consider
that she might be having a hard time saying no and give
her an out. Don't waste your time trying to sell an opportunity
to someone who is truly not interested.
Susie, "Yes, if you can show me how
to work this opportunity and fit it into my schedule,
I'd love to try it. Sign me up."
So next time you are conducting a recruiting interview,
remember to show them you care. Before you know it, you’ll
be on your way to building a huge downline.
Good luck building your team!
