Tips About Speaking With Friends And People You Know

It’s surprising how many Network Marketers and Direct Sales People are reluctant to talk with friends and family about their business.
  
I guess it’s understandable in many ways because they are reluctant to run the risk of alienating those close to them.
  
If this happens to you, it does mean you’re missing out on a source of high quality business partners and customers.
  
Perhaps even worse, they might need what you have to offer and they’re missing out because you haven’t spoken with them about it.
  
So, what’s the solution so that everyone wins?  Here are some suggestions.
  
Firstly, always keep in mind that your purpose is to help other people solve their problems.  When you’re talking with friends, or anyone come to that, all you’re looking to do is to discover if they have the types of problems you can help them solve.  That’s all.
  
Next, before approaching a friend, take some time to prepare yourself. Think about everything you know about them. Write down everything you can about their family, their hobbies, their sports, their jobs, their relationships, and especially their likes, dislikes, passions, and so on.
  
Write down all the problems you might have heard them talk about, that your business opportunity might be able to solve. Things like health problems or tight finances, and think, if you can, how it’s affecting them.
  
These are the things you can explore further when you next speak with them.
  
Now, when you do speak with someone keep in mind the following…
  
  * Respect the relationship that is already there. What’s more
  important? Your friendship or wanting them as a business
  partner?
  
  * Explore their previously expressed problems or see if they do
  have the types of problems you can help them solve without
  necessarily talking about your solutions.
  
  * Let go from talking about your business opportunity. Your
  first aim at this stage is to simply discover if you might be
  able to   be of help.  If in the course of your conversation it
  becomes clear your friend or family member might has an
  interest in changing their present situation, then you can
  offer your solution there and then or continue the dialogue at
  another time.
  
If you adopt this approach, you won’t run the risk of upsetting people and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how many people will be open to listening to you.

When these things are remembered no one will marvel at the ease with which Alexander held the Empire of Asia, or at the difficulties which others have had to keep an acquisition, such as Pyrrhus and many more; this is not occasioned by the little or abundance of ability in the conqueror, but by the want of uniformity in the subject state.
