If there is one thing I love about Internet marketing, it's
challenge. No, I don't mean challenge of making money, although that's fun, too.I'm talking about little challenges we all throw up to each other. I mean, let's face it. Any Internet marketer that's worth his or her salt and pepper will always, eventually, find a way to invite everyone they meet up with to look into their particular opportunity. That's a good thing, usually, because that's our business, spreading word.
However, what happens when one Internet marketer meets up with another?
Ha, ha! The challenge!
CHALLENGES
Round One : Who can spit it out faster!
Being respectful of others and yet still finding opportunity to ask others to look at your business is always challenging. I mean, you can't just scan quickly through what others say to you and then come back with, "Yeah, that's nice. Now, look at this amazing opportunity!"
That's just plain rude and not going to get you anywhere.
No, a good networker looks for opportunities to inform others of what they are doing and what they believe in about their business based on what other person says. Still, it's a challenge to turn conversations to where you are talking more about your opportunity than other persons, and let's face it, that's what we are all trying to do.
Round Two: Mine is better!
At times, conversation turns more heated. That's not necessarily bad, it just happens. In those conversations, however, it inevitably comes down to a "See, mine is better!" type of contest. We all start throwing benefits and potential incomes at each other like poison darts, trying to score a concession.
I'm not sure this gains anyone any ground, but nevertheless at times it takes place.
Round Three: How mine will benefit yours!
A smart networker, however, will not compare straight across and start and argument. Instead, it's better to describe how your particular opportunity or service will be beneficial to what person you are talking to is already involved with. In that way, you CAN talk about other person's business, just keep relating how yours is complimentary to it and can help improve their results.
RESOLUTIONS
Now, there are a few different resolutions to these little clashes between networkers.
Resolution One: Auto responder war.
At times people end up with each other's auto responders doing all battling for them. One auto responder sends to another which gets an auto response back which creates another auto response, and so on. Normally, this accomplishes nothing. However, there may be odd chance that as each person's message registers on other person's auto responder, there might at some point be human eyes that actually see one of sent messages. This, of course, depends on how auto responders in question work.
