How to Overcome Scam or Pyramid Scheme Objections

This Is A “(Fill In The Blank Objection)”

If you’re in business, you’ve probably heard many responses as to why they won’t join you in business. But you need to know that it’s not the end of the journey for your prospect. In today’s post, we are going to tackle how to overcome scam or pyramid scheme objections.

Here are a couple of retorts, if you will, that you could ask them.

Of course, do this in a manner that says to them that you care about them and would never WILLINGLY mislead them.

1. Ask them the question: “Do you have a job?”. Most of the time, they are going to say yes. If they don’t have a job, ask them what they do for a living.
   • The point of this line of questioning is to show them that they are already in a pyramid system that is rapidly changing. As a result, you can then show them how we are now in a digital world.
2. Ask if they have been paying attention to how difficult it is to trade time for money. This is a question to build your authority. You know something that they need to learn about (online or offline presence).
3. Ask them if they are willing open thier mind to new possibilities. If they cannot see themselves jumping in and learning, then show them this video

This Is A Scam

If you receive a retort from someone who you are trying to scam them into buying. Right off you probably should ask yourself, how much do you want a person that is quick on the draw to distrust what you do?

The other consideration is that when they do come back with this objection, it’s mainly out of fear. Fear comes from many instances.

This is where you find out if you can move forward with prospecting them or if you just need to move on and forward.

Ask these questions:

• Is this a reaction based because of fear of losing money?
• Does this person not trust people who want to help them? So everything is a scam to them.
• What is their motivation for wanting to start a home business?

Find out a little more about them and see if you can find out why they respond like they have to you. Because the whole idea here is to find out how you can overcome scam or pyramid scheme objection they have tossed out at you.

Why The Scam or Pyramid Objection Is Presented

There is a deeper issue going on here when the objection of a pyramid or scam comes up. Typically, they have either been a part of or heard someone gets taken for their money if the customer is claiming your business is a scam.

If we were to delve a bit deeper into the scam objection, you’ll see that the customer does not trust you…

..YET!

If you’re willing to put some effort into gaining their trust, you will have a customer and perhaps a great friend!

On the pyramid side of things, it’s just a matter of showing the prospect that they are already in a system built on pyramids. It’s called the industrial age where people show up to work every day. Putting in their 8-12 hours of work for hourly pay.

The only thing that has changed is that we have moved to the digital age and the potentially wealthy are learning how to leverage their time to make themselves rich both in time and financially.

What You’re Saying To The Prospect.

So, the choice is theirs (or yours if the shoe fits).

Learn the way to wealth and prosperity or continue getting what you’ve always been receiving.

Most people are not happy with what they are bringing in, so they look in other avenues to increase. I believe that’s why uber and other services are so popular. Because it’s the belief that they don’t have to sell anything to receive an extra income.

The truth of the matter is that you are always selling something.

How else would a driver for Uber get a tip? They are selling their service to the rider. If the ride was pleasant, the driver is more likely to get a tip from the rider. Even a good write up for the driver is great with a 5 star rating. When we are in business for ourselves, we depend on testimonials and word of mouth advertising.

Now if you’re already selling at every turn but you’re not willing to recognize that you are selling, You should just embrace it and work with what you know. Be honest and never mislead a customer.

There’s truth to the saying,

Maybe not 10 fold but it will come back stronger than you delivered it.

Overcome Scam or Pyramid Scheme Objections: Conclusion

That’s how you overcome scam or pyramid objections. Most people try to hide and tell prospects that they are doing great and that’s where the hill gets very slippery.

Just be honest and upfront. If you want to color your story a bit. Be honest in how you do it.

Something to the effect of “You know, I’m just starting out and I’m working with a group of great leaders that are showing me step by step how to succeed with any system. This system is the one that I think is the best to learn from.”

If you have wanted to do something extra from home to actually learn how to make money and not be part of the huge numbers that do not make money. I urge you to take a challenge that will give you “over the shoulder” training to help you start making money. However, there’s a catch.

The catch is that you have to be serious and passionate about making money and helping others do the same. If you can promise to do that then you can start the challenge.

Now it’s your time to crush it in whatever business you choose to build.
