How's your relationship? I'm not prying into your personal life, so no need to worry. it's just that lately I've noticed something about most network marketers which got me thinking.
Let me start with some background on these thoughts I had. One of
reasons an internet business seems so attractive is because of ease with which you can communicate. This lends itself well to marketing, and in particular network marketing.
With me so far?
So we all jump into network marketing and mlm style business opportunities online to seek our fortunes, but this is where it all seems to go wrong.
The thing I've noticed myself and a lot of others doing online is just promoting our businesses.
We don't build relationships.
Network marketing is about networking with others, and I have heard it referred to as relationship marketing. But are we doing enough to build those relationships?
A recent example was a new style messaging system I was introduced to at http://www.profitmessaging.com/invite.php?f006bcd3bb . There you can invite "buddies" to message you, and add other buddies from system to your buddies list. Then you can send them all a message safely from within system. An Ideal opportunity to build a relationship or two.
Instead of getting to know each other, almost everybody jumped in and sent each other an advert for their business. The result? No one reads any messages. No new relationships are formed. It becomes another wasted opportunity to form relationships. There were one or two more savvy marketers who attempted to build relationships, but their efforts got lost in among hundreds of "make more money than you can spend" ads.
