When Network Marketing, Are You Listening To Your Potential Clients?
You cannot have much headway in whatever niche you are trying to build your network if you do not pay attention to the human factor. People who you want to join your network have their own sentiments and emotions. You must not drive your opportunity down their throat. You need to offer them value, help them solve problems in their business or educate them on the benefits of your opportunity. These people will appreciate that you are treating them well and will see you as the expert.
Listen to what people are telling you. Ask some questions. Find out why they are looking for other ways to make money, what are they doing now, are they trying to build a business for scratch and what roadblocks are they facing. Don't promote your opportunity until you have struck a proper rapport with that person. In the beginning it always pays to listen more than you talk. Listen what they say. Even after you have explained your plan, you must listen to every reservation they might have, however much trivial it may sound to you. Only when you put someone completely at ease will they begin trusting you.
And this continues to apply even later on. You have to make sure that you keep listening to them even after they have joined your network. When they know that your reassuring self is always there to guide them, they will not have any qualms in increasing their efforts to bring more people into your team.
Your network marketing opportunity is important. But if you don’t consider other people as important too, you aren’t going to be running a very successful business. You must remember this rule of thumb when improving business prospects.

Great advice about the importance of listening! And even when you are “talking” online, your words need to reflect an understanding of where the reader is coming from and what they want or need.
I think people don’t listen like they should. They rather talk and tell everyone what a great deal they are selling rather than forming a bond with that person. Anita
Wow. This post was really spot on and correct! I couldn’t have said it better.
It’s all about the questions we ask our prospects, and our ability to discover what their specific needs are from starting a business. Our goal should always be to discover this and then provide a solution.
I follow Michael Oliver’s Natural Selling approach and it works wonders for me. I also like that I don’t have to be “pushy” but rather more collaborative with my prospects.
Thanks again for this post anita, and for your wonderful website where I can learn a lot to improve my social media skills!! 🙂
