💬 Step 5— Contact & Invite
Master The Invitation
(The Bridge Between Curiosity and Connection)
Inviting is the single most important skill you will ever learn in this business.
It’s the bridge between talking about LifeWave and building LifeWave.
Your goal isn’t to convince, sell, or explain —
your goal is to open a door to discovery.
“You are not in the convincing business; you are in the inviting business.”
The best inviters lead with authentic excitement and respect for the other person’s freedom.
You’re not trying to get a “yes” — you’re simply trying to get a look.
Mindset: Posture and Purpose
Before every invitation, ground yourself with this mindset:
You have something valuable. You’re offering proven technology, not pushing a product.
You’re sorting, not selling. You’re finding who’s open right now, not forcing interest.
You’re planting seeds, not pulling roots. Some will say yes now, others later — and that’s okay.
When you approach with confidence instead of need, people feel it.
Energy transfers faster than information.

The Formula: INVITE → EXPOSE → FOLLOW UP
Every invitation has one goal — to get the prospect to see or experience the information (not to hear it from you directly).
That means:
You invite.
A tool (video, event, website, sample, or upline call) presents.
You follow up after.
Keep it simple, duplicatable, and repeatable.
“If the tool is doing the talking, the system is duplicating.”
🔁 The “If I … Would You …” Principle
Professionals never send information before getting a commitment to consume it.
Otherwise, you’re just throwing links into the void.
The key phrase that keeps you in control is simple and powerful:
“If I … would you …?”
It creates mutual respect and agreement.
You’re offering value, and they’re agreeing to give attention in return.
How It Works
Offer the value:
“If I send you a short video that explains how this light technology activates the body’s stem-cell activity…”
Ask for commitment:
“…would you take a few minutes to watch it today?”
Confirm the timeframe:
“Perfect when do you think you’ll have a chance to watch it?” (wait for their answer)
Lock the follow-up:
“Great! If you watch it tonight, I’ll call you tomorrow around 6 PM to see what you thought. Sound good?”
Now you have a clear agreement, not a vague hope.

Why It Works
Builds respect and accountability.
Keeps you in control of the next step.
Positions you as professional and confident.
💡Pro Tip: If they won’t commit to a time, don’t send the link yet.
Simply say,
“No worries, let me know when the timing’s better;
I don’t want to waste your time or mine.”
Sample Invitations
💬 Text or Message:
“Hey [Name], if I send you a 3-minute video about this light technology I’ve been telling you about, would you watch it today?”
Wait for reply:
“Awesome, when do you think you’ll have a few minutes?”
They answer: Tonight.
“Perfect! If you watch it tonight, I’ll call you tomorrow around 7 to hear what you found most interesting. Sound good?”
📞 Phone or Voice:
“Hey [Name], if I invite you to a 10-minute Zoom tomorrow that explains how this tech helps people feel younger and recover faster, would you make time to hop on?”
“Great — if you’re on, I’ll connect with you right after so I can introduce you to the presenter.”

👥 In Person:
“You’ve got to see what I’m doing — it’s drug-free and uses light to help the body repair itself. If I show you a short clip later today, would you take a look?”
Keep your tone calm, curious, and respectful — never pushy.
The Psychology of a Great Invitation
Be in a hurry. Respect their time.
Compliment sincerely. Make them feel valued.
Make the invitation. Use “If I… Would You…” language.
Confirm commitment. Let them choose the time.
Schedule follow-up. Always end with an appointment.
When you leave every conversation with a scheduled follow-up, you stay in control of your business.

Warm Market vs. Cold Market
Warm Market (family, friends, coworkers): lean on trust.
“You’ve always supported me. I’d love your opinion on this.”
Cold Market (social media connections, events): lead with curiosity.
“I’m connecting with people interested in health and longevity — would you be open to seeing something new?”
Keep it brief and natural. Short messages get replies.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Over-explaining (you kill curiosity).
Sounding desperate (enthusiasm / neediness).
Talking too much before listening.
Failing to schedule follow-up.
“Say less to more people.”

Golden Rule for Duplication
Never send a link without a commitment.
Once they commit, follow up exactly when you promised — even if they didn’t watch it yet — That discipline builds trust and reputation.
“Professionals don’t chase; they schedule.”
Final Thought
The invitation is where your courage meets someone else’s curiosity.
You don’t need perfect words — just genuine intent.
Confidence grows with repetition, not perfection.
Every invitation builds skill. Every no brings you closer to a yes.
“A professional never lets fear of rejection silence their purpose.”
Keep it simple. Keep it human. Keep it moving.
