YOUR direct selling company IS The Best… but don’t discredit the competition!
Regardless of your company’s strengths and/or the methods of direct selling compensation and lead generation, it is absolutely all right to compare your company’s strengths with what your competitors are offering, very carefully and without ever discrediting them.
After all, you joined YOUR direct selling company for a reason, right?
I am sure that you DO think that you joined the best direct selling company, right?
Don’t Bad Mouth The Competition!
Many direct sellers believe from the bottom of their hearts that they are involved with the absolute best direct selling company there is. And that is fine…..
It is always helpful to have such a strong motivation deep inside.
If you have a better product or opportunity, you have the right to make it known by your prospects.
At the same time any harm you give to your competitor while doing this backfires in 3 ways:
- You only help deteriorate the general image of direct selling in general, which will affect all of us including yourself.
- Being negative about them is very unprofessional and makes you look bad.
- A time may come when you consider changing companies and begin to look more closely at the competition!
A successful business attitude respects the competition, maybe even collaborates with them on some levels!
Talking negatively about your competition is bad for you, bad for your prospects, your downline members and the industry as a whole!
Direct sales is a people business, a business based on relationships!
What goes around – comes around so be honest, truthful, and respectful!
