If you are in network marketing then you were probably introduced to your business opportunity through either an in-home meeting or hotel meeting. It is the standard, old-school way to do it and your upline probably still insists that it is the best way to do it.
Personally, I think the internet is a much better way to reach a much wider audience, but in-person meetings still have their place and there is a better way to do them. Your upline will probably hate the idea, and that’s probably a good thing.
Instead of the usual, boring opportunity meeting, what if you invited people to a game night? People like to play games and don’t usually make the time in their everyday life, so it is already an appealing offer. They are fun, people get to socialize, laugh, and release stress. Inviting people to your game night is a whole lot easier because you don’t get as much rejection. The focus of your event has changed to something that your prospects are interested in and your opportunity takes a secondary focus. When people have fun and get actively engaged in an activity they are more open to what you offer afterwards.
If you have read some of my other posts then you probably know that I am a big fan of Loral Langemeier. You should be too. The game that I recommend for your game nights is Loral’s Millionaire Maker Game. The easiest way to describe it is as Monopoly on steroids. It is both fun and educational. I recommend it as a replacement for your opportunity meetings because the entire point of the game is to build what Loral calls a Cash Machine. For the entire hour of game play your prospects are learning that building a Cash Machine is the best, fastest way for them to make money.
After the game is over, everyone is actually looking forward to hearing about your opportunity. They understand the value of having a Cash Machine, so now you can offer them one in the form of your business opportunity. It’s a beautiful thing.
There is an additional benefit to hosting a Millionaire Maker Game night as well. Have you heard of monetization, or a funded proposal? They mean that you make money while prospecting, paying for your marketing as you do it. Become an affiliate with Loral Langemeier and you can sell her books, CD programs, and the game itself at your game night. This gives your prospects something to take home and further get involved in the idea of building wealth, and makes you some money on the front-end to cover your costs. Now all you have to do is follow up with them.
