So you are a network marketer and you transact your business either
- Face to face
- Over the phone – cold calling a lot
- Online – probably dipping your toe into Social Media Marketing
What’s the biggest problem you are going to face? The ‘tire kickers’ – the people who think they want to start a home business but have not done their home work, and will happily waste you time finding out about something they never really wanted to start.
One of my opportunities has a method for ‘weeding’ out ‘tire kickers’ and if you choose to visit it you will see it explained. Question? How do you spot the ‘tire kickers’ before they get that far, especially if you like me use social media marketing?
Well that’s where this free to all ‘lie detection’ training comes in. The best bit is there is no sign up, nor give your email address or sell your soul. Its a TV show called, Lie To Me on Fox in the USA and Sky TV in the UK.
Here’s a synopsis of the show which is based on real science and a real scientist:
“DR. CAL LIGHTMAN (Tim Roth, “The Incredible Hulk,” “Reservoir Dogs”) can detect the truth by analyzing a person’s face, body, voice and speech. When someone shrugs his shoulder, rotates his hand or raises his lower lip, Lightman knows he’s lying. By analyzing facial expressions, he can read feelings – from hidden resentment to sexual attraction to jealousy.”
I watched the first series back to back because I have a DVR and that’s how I watch all my TV series virtually now – get rid of all those annoying adverts – now you see why social media marketing is the next big thing – in fact the only sensible way to market.
It suddenly struck me after the first episode this is a ‘gold mine’ of information – it’s will help you spot liars, time wasters, people who resent what you do but say they support you. The beauty is the episodes cover facial deception – great for face to face networking, vocal deception – I have done work on this in the past for a crisis charity and it is true it is far easier to pick up someones true intent over the phone if you really tune in. How many time have you said to a friend on the phone, ‘Are you ok? You don’t sound yourself today?’. Finally they cover the way people write, the types of words they use and what constant repetition of certain words reveals about them. I have posted previously about avoiding at all costs the use of the word ‘not’, – the series backed me up. The famous Presidential quote, ” I did not have sex with….”, actually put the idea he had in the Press heads. Before that there had been no mention of actual sexual indiscretion.
So do yourself a favor – find out if your Prospects can – Lie To Me.
