Believe me, I agree with making capital. That's one reason why we are all in business, correct? If we didn't make some hard cash, we wouldn't even be able to help anyone. BUT, have you ever gone to a social gathering when someone you don't know says "Hi! I'm Bill. I have this merchandise here in my pouch that I know you will love. Want to buy it?" Gross, right? I am in agreement that we should provide value to our new friends. I also fail to always do the right thing. Now, I know that the right thing to do is make friends. I'm sure that you have all heard that friendship is the route for our success. The 'ol FORM is key. FORM = Family, Occupation, Recreation, Money. Just ask questions to learn more about their family, their profession, what they do in their open time and how they spend their available cash. Here's a pointer. If they are not agreeable to share, it is an clue that you are still coming off too much as a sales person. How do we develop? Try to honestly become friends. Tell them about you and your family. It is simply not imperative for you to be picture perfect while you are learning to be a success. A number of of my friends have shared outstanding tips on how to stand out. Trish Mullen acknowledged that "I have been thinking over the past couple of days how everybody is just speed selling all the time on all of the social networks". Nancy Burban reminds us that those who spam or try to promote constantly lose friends & followers quickly. Ellen Graeger stated that she makes friends with personal comment on their articles, writing on their wall, replying to their questions. A very close friend of mine, Jocelyn Jones, let me know her secret: The way that I make friends is start out by introducing myself and telling them about my kids and interests. I then ask them about themselves. Once they respond, I then ask them about their experiences with Network Marketing, how long they've been involved, their likes, dislikes, struggles, etc. I don't try to "pitch" them my opportunity the second we make contact. That DRIVES me crazy when people try to shove their opportunity down my throat the second we talk. Sound like intelligent guidance? Theo Marcellus rightly suggests that "People sign up with people, not with businesses. If someone likes and trusts you, he/she will do business with you and follow you." We have heard this opinion many times. Let's pay attention to it. Vernon Nate gave me this advice. When I'm looking to befriend people on all social networks, my intention is to build long time relationships and not to just sell them. People do business with people that they know and TRUST. My mindset when I'm connecting with people on the internet is to add VALUE to them and truly help them be successful. With these combinations, you will stand out from the rest of marketers out there. Robert Reed had a unique idea: How fast you get referrals depends on how fast you give referrals and the product or service you offer, of course. Here's what he did: I created a referral website where I place video business cards with all of my networking friends on it. Finally, I want to conclude with the wise opinion from my friend Barry O. Canada: Just be yourself. I completely forget about the business and focus my attention on connecting. If you really care about people and you want to provide them solutions, you need to know their problems. It takes time for people to see that you are not trying to con them into something, but that you have a genuine interest for them and what they may be going through. Slow and steady, building lasting friendships and partners along the way... that's how I am building my business. For the record... it really disturbs me when someone greets me with their business. However, I come to expect that on Facebook. Then I focus on building a relationship with them and teaching them the appropriate way to market their business. Sometimes they listen, sometimes they do not. Now I received dozens of suggestions to assist you in our impressive industry, and they all fall right in line with the great suggestions I've included. I am just sorry I didn't have space to include even more. Nonetheless, pay close attention to these suggestions and you will succeed in network marketing. The road to success in our industry is to make true friends and to help others.
