Facebook Prospecting Mistakes to Avoid
If you want to avoid the “Kiss of Death” on facebook then you will want to avoid these costly facebook prospecting mistakes.
A recent survey indicated that 83% of women hate their facebook friends.
Come on ladies, can’t you get along. You are acting like a bunch of rookie network marketers. LOL
This is sort of funny and sort of sad but most people go about prospecting on Facebook in similar ways…the wrong ways.
Instead of focusing on building a good relationship first, desperate opportunity seekers act like a sexed up horny teenager and they want to jump in the bed right away.
That approach does not work to well for creating a long love life and it certainly does not work too well when you make a friend request and pitch your business at the same time.
It seems some people are clueless or just lazy. Here’s a 5 step prospecting training that will help you to avoid facebook prospecting mistakes..
Reviewing Facebook Prospecting Mistakes
In the video below I share some key strategies for adding friend the right way and some mistakes people make.
What Facebook Prospecting Mistakes have you ‘experienced’?
Let me know what you think about these Facebook Prospecting Mistakes and how you handle people who annoy you.
And by the way… this also applies to GMail and other social networks.
Just look at the email I just got. It has no subject line or meaningful message. People like this are really clueless and desperately need our help.
What a dumb marketing approach!
To learn how to avoid facebook prospecting mistakes I recommend this social media training.

This is pretty funny. Women are fiercely competitive with each other, so this doesn’t surprise me at all. What it doesn’t show, though, is the extent to which we’ll all support each other – even if we’re not 100% on the same page – when it’s called for. The Women of Facebook Group is a great example of that. Yes, there are scraps from time to time, but we’re all there for each other. The group’s been going for about a year and the dreams we shared there at the start are coming to fruition for many of us. It’s wonderful to see how that’s happened.
I wonder what the statistics are for men.

Hey Terry,
Focusing on relationships rather than pitching reveals the one’s attitude toward his/her business and life generally…Abundance vs lack or bettter said, trust/posture over fear. Why force someone join when don’t even know the person..the golden rule applies here as well.. do to others what you would want them to do for you.
I checked your facebook training video as well. Very well explained and easy to implement. Bookmarked
Thanks for this reminder!
Have a prosperous day ahead,

Relationships are the only way to go when it comes
to building a long term residual income. Everyone
no matter where it starts must be win-win.

Hi, Terry,
You have emphasized this absolutely important rule for doing business using Facebook.
Radu summarizes the situation very well. This is all about prosperity vs lack mentality and the trust in attracting the right propsects vs. fear of not having prospects.
I 100% agree with you about realtionship building is the very basic first step. I appreciate you, Terry!

Hi Terry…LOL you made me laugh Terry. But sadly, there are still so much of these bad approach daily…everywhere it seems! I just don’t understand why people continue to want to take short cuts! It just doesn’t work that way. I can understand that a new person who is just getting started online might have some shady approach..but they are learning…so that’s cool. Where it gets really crazy is when seasoned marketers start regressing and start doing that… It’s just another mystery of life I guess… Great share

With a society geared towards instant gratification it is not surprising to be approached by these network marketing wannabes.
Until a person truly believes in helping others before getting helped they will understand the objective of this business.
It definitely isn’t sending spam from your cell phone, lol.
February 21, 2012 at 7:51 am
It is all about being a professional networker and marketer.
Gosh, you are right I am getting them on cell as well. Ugh.

Thanks for sharing this information Terry. I watched your video too, and you really gave a clear explanation. You always have such good advise and training. Thanks for all you do!

Yes Terry, I’ve received messages like the one you mentioned above as well. It’s a real shame to see people marketing this way, just goes to show that good training is something rare these days.
Thanks for showing everyone the real deal when it comes to Facebook Prospecting, your training is always right on point Terry.

I agree with you. We first have to win the trust the of the person; the way to do that is to establish a good relationship on Facebook. Once done, we can easily promote our product or service to that person.

Terry I was shocked at those statistics I must admit. Although women can be a nightmare and very competitive and “bitchy”!!
I must admit apart from one person (who I’m only friends with so I can spy on them – yes my guilty secret is out lol) I love all my friends on Facebook and if I didn’t like anyone I definitely wouldn’t friend them…
I actually made a concious decision last year to only surround myself with positive and supportive people. There is a lot of competitiveness in business and some people cope well and others don’t. Life is much sweeter because of this:)
February 22, 2012 at 7:42 am
I think it is human nature to be curious about others. It is that negativity that I have no tolerance for.
If someone gets too negative and ‘bitchy’ whether on facebook or in real life I would distance myself from them. In the world of facebook that means unfriend baby!
Why?
Because there are tons of positive like minded people I don’t know yet…
February 22, 2012 at 7:21 pm
Hi Terry,
absoloutely right, when you connect with people on Facebook, the first thing you need to do is build a good relaionship, so you win the trust of that person.
You share some great value with the community Terry.
thank you
February 23, 2012 at 10:35 am
thanks Easther!
February 23, 2012 at 1:02 am
yeah I get those emails… I’ve been trying to flip some spammers with no luck.. but getting closer! hehe
February 23, 2012 at 5:38 am
Yea, I’m not to sure those guys are your ideal prospects John…
February 27, 2012 at 10:37 am
Hey Terry,
Thanks for this great post. I’ve also received similar shody marketing emails. They don’t add any value to the marketers am sure. You are dead right on the facebook prospecting mistakes. Its important to first engage meaningfully with facebook friends, build some trust value and then pitch in with your promotions & products. Plus, not everyone on facebook can qualify as a good prospect.
PS: The facebook survey statistics are really funny and cracking.
