Why You Have to Do the Thankless Work to Be a Great Ambit Consultant


Making stuffing or any several-step dish is a great analogy for working with prospects. The recipe for network marketing success lies in the thankless tasks and not the shortcuts – as any of our subscribers knows. I told about how my Mentor, Tim Sales, rehearsed in front of Buckshot (a stuffed animal) the story is in Ambit Pro Inviter Series for hours and hours before he took his communication skills to the phone.
Just like great food, being successful at building your Ambit Business takes a great recipe, planning, technique, patience and practice. And each of those steps requires some thankless work like making hundreds of calls before you find a qualified prospect, evaluating your words, actions and reasons for “no,” tracking your progress and even getting a little professional advice.
So, what’s the point of today’s blog post? That thankless work gives you new ideas for how to approach obstacles and for finding prospects.
Here’s a sketch of how that thankless work pays off:
  • A great recipe – A great recipe is hard to find and make perfectly the first time. When you find one, you’ll have to spend time with it, read it all the way through and gather all the necessary ingredients. Have you done this in your business? It’s been said that you never get real value from a training course the first time you go through it. Maybe it’s time to revisit our Ambit Pro Inviter Series  to see how you can refine your business. 
  • Planning – When you cook, you have to have all of your ingredients present and prepped to make a great dish. If you don’t, it might work, but it might also not turn out as expected. That’s important to remember in building your Ambit business – you’ll need to do your planning ahead of time. What are your goals? Where will you find prospects? How much do you need to invest to run your business and turn a profit?
  • Technique – One of the keys to cooking great food is that you have to master certain techniques such as boiling eggs (easier said than done), chopping vegetables (without chopping yourself) and following a recipe. Sounds a lot like working your Ambit business, doesn’t it? If you use the Inviting Formula  in your business, you can be assured that you need to use all the steps. But have you mastered the techniques in order? This takes a lot of thankless work, but it’s well worth it when you start noticing objections arising before they happen.
  • Patience – Great food takes patience as does building a great Ambit business . You won’t jump in and make a million dollars your first month, but you can with dedication and patience.
  • Practice – The famous actor and martial artist Bruce Lee once said, “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” Same goes for network marketing – it might take you 1,000 calls to get a team member. But imagine the lessons you’ll learn in those 1,000 calls. It’s thankless while you’re doing it, but in the end you’re creating a beautiful future for yourself.
