Now that you have an idea of the types of people you will encounter on thephone how do you recognize them?

You do this by controlling the conversation. That means you ask open endedquestions and then listen intently to the response.

You are looking for clues to their personality type so you know the best way tointeract with them.

You are also listening to find out their level of interest.

What happens most of the time is that a new distributor gets so excited that a
prospect actually shows interest in his or her opportunity that they become
over-zealous and end up talking so much that their prospect loses interest.

Practice on your listening skills and get good at listening and asking good
questions.

When you stop talking so much about your own interests and develop your
listening skills , people will also start to like you more.

Much Success,
