Don't Pre-judge a Person's "Why"

We tend to pre-judge people, without really knowing their "why". Because we know someone, really well - well - so/so - or casually, we begin to make judgements on their interest levels in any opportunity. What I have found in sales/marketing and recruiting for jobs/employment, is that everyone has their own "why". Events in each person's life establishes "pushes and pulls". These events that push someone towards some action and events that pull people along, varies from one person to the next. There is no way we can know and/or understand where a person is in their life; their career; or their current situation. I have talked with nearly 10,000 people about their careers and have found that people tell you half truths. When I thought someone was really ready to make a change and take a career changing step, they were not ready. And, then there are others that out of the blue are ready for that change. So I have learned over the years to not pre-judge any one's "why". I present the facts, the opportunity and let them say yes or no. Point of Interest: Be willing to present a business opportunity like our NuSkin business, and let them say yes or no. No doesn't mean no forever, it means "no not right now". Something may change in their life, that tomorrow they may be interested.
