I just read the latest post on the Green Win Network support blog. I found it a great read and am just sharing the video made by Steven McGregor and some comments made on the support blog:
Comment from Paul: ( My GWN Upliner )
The two phreases I hate hearing the most are “Pyramid scheme” and “It sounds too good to be true”.
When some clever dick blurts out one of these phrases in a presentation, it’s clear to me that he’s trying to show everyone else what a clever boy he is, that he’s trying to hijack or sabotage the presentation, and that he hasn’t got a clue what he’s talking about.
When I’m presenting and someone says this, I immediately invite him to come up and continue with the presentation becausre hobviously knows far more about my business than I do. I make him stand up and come to the front.
I then ask him to explain to the audience, since he knows so much about the subject, what the legal definition of a pyramid scheme is and what the legal definition of a legitimate network marketing company is and what the differences are between the two.
When he can’t – and they never can – I ask him if he would like to sit down and learn something that will improve his quality of life, or if he would like to leave. Most times, they leave.
If they are trying to put me down, I very quickly eliminate them as a threat and turn them into a point of ridicule. That’s why they don’t stay. I effectively remove the source of the poison that would otherwise have turned off people with weak positive attitudes before I can strengthen them.
If someone tells me that it sounds too good to be true, this again shows me that, like the “pyramid schemes” guy, that they are mentally too lazy to go and research the business and MLM for themselves, and that they are repeating a “knee-jerk” reaction they have read in the papers or heard on TV or somewhere else. I don’t need mentally or physically lazy people in my team or in my life. It’s these people who will give you the hardest time and the most work, answering all their questions because they can’t be bothered to go and find the answers for themselves.
When I hear someone say “It sounds too good to be true” I smile and say “For you, it probably is. You are obviously in the wrong room. I will stop the presentation to give you time to leave”.
If you give presentations, you must be in control of your audience at all times. Don’t let anyone wrest control from you. There will always be one a***hole who will try it. You must put them down hard and even remove them from the room asap so they can’t cause any more doubt amongst the other sheep.

If someone says “it sounds too good to be true” they generally have no imagination unless, of course, it is “too good to be true”. If someone says “pyramid scheme” they are actually insulting you and accusing you of being a criminal. At which point you should beat them with a large plank because it will be easier than trying to change their dimwitted mindset.
Comment from Paul:
Most people’s immediate reaction when faced with MLM is “I can’t sell”. They forget they had to sell themselves to their boss to get a job, and to their spouse to get them to marry them (and go to bed with them. Imagine what a selling job that must have been!).
Nevertheless, calm them down by telling them that MLM is a TELLING business, not a SELLING business. It’s all about education. First join, then LEARN the business, THEN only start telling them about it. If you don’t know what you’re talking about and you can’t answer their questions, you quickly lose credibility and you seldom get them back again.
You teach the teachers to teach the teachers, and so it goes….
