Relationships are Key in Building your Network marketing business!
In our society today we have gone away from High Touch to High Tech.
Now trust me I believe in one of your avenues in reaching out to be Online, High Tech.
What I do mean is texting, email, autoresponders, and NOT picking up the telephone!
I love people and I believe the key to building and having success in your network marketing business is to build relationships.
Someone once asked me recently it makes me uncomfortable in making presentations to someone about my business.
I said I am going to give you the best advice! It is not about making presentations, it is about building relationships, finding what a person needs or wants and helping that person fill that need if possible. It is about listening to that person and developing a trust and a bond with that person.
I love meeting people online and offline and if it is online I pick up the telephone or go on Skype.
I truly enjoyed this read from Big Al.
Who would you want to do business with OR buy a product from?
Big Al's Super Bowl prediction!
I don't know who is going to win, but I know who is going to lose.
The advertisers!
Sure, Green Bay and Pittsburgh are going to play the game, but the big money is on the advertising.
Think of the poor advertiser. The company spends a few million dollars producing an ad, setting up distribution, and renting a few seconds time during the Super Bowl.
After this huge expense, the advertiser gets a customer.
And then, along comes a network marketer who has a relationship with that customer, and poof! The advertiser loses the customer.
The advertiser is at a huge disadvantage by having no relationship with the customer. The network marketer only has to say:
* "Hey Mom, would you help me by changing your phone service to my company?"
* "John, you just have to try this diet product. Worked for me. Look!"
* "Mary, try this moisturizer. I love the secret ingredient."
And all the advertiser can do now is . . . spend more money to find a new customer.
As network marketers, let's take advantage of our ability to talk to our prospects face-to-face.

Maggie,
Great post, it really is all about the relationship. It's about keeping it going on and on and on, trading off short term gain for a long term relationship.
Thanks so much for sharing this,

Hi Maggie,
Brilliant post, so incredibly true.
People distrust and dislike big 'faceless' businesses more and more every day – we'd much rather buy from somebody we know, like and trust. I think we are going to see this trend grow as time goes on…
Kind regards,
Emma

Hi, Maggie,
Great to see you here. Relationships are not only the key to building a business. They are the principle components of living a life of joy and passionate fulfillment. It's the positive relationships we build with others that will see us through life's inevitable ups and downs. Thanks so much for pointing this out to us. Much success in your future business.

Maggie, you are right on target about building relationships. It seem that many desire to be experts in Attraction Marketing and forget that the key to this business is relationships. If it wasn't the companies would not need us, they could create great landing pages and attract customers.

Hi Maggie,
I love this post. Lately, it seems that the relational aspect of network marketing is unduly relegated to the archives of "old school" methods of network marketing. While employing the "new school" methods – attraction marketing, when building the business online, why not take it a step further and step out and make a personal connection outside of the mass emails that we have scheduled in our autoresponders. A personal video email or invite to connect via phone or Skype will certainly bond a relationship better than a one-size-fits-all message ever will. Thanks for starting the conversation about this – something vitally important to our business success.
