Network Like a Pro

Network marketing is one of the most effective ways to conduct business. The reason being that word of mouth advertising is much stronger then print. Think about it for a moment if a friend told you that they love Product A and what it did for them, then you will probably remember that when you go to male that purchase and you are comparing Product A to Product B. Which one are you libel to pick.

It's the fear factor that drives most small business people away from networking. I have given you a program to help you get over it.

Public speaking is the 1st issue I'm going to discuss, and I make it really rather simple. If I can do it anyone can. Practice the steps listed below.

1. Your are a professional and what do professionals do? They study and they practice their craft. So step one is the most important, practice at every free moment of the day. Practice to where you have it down without even thinking about it. Till it becomes natural.

2. Be prepared and have all your marketing materials ready the night before and make sure you get plenty of sleep.

3. While on the way to an event, you need to do 2 things. 1 you need to relax and start getting motivated. To steal a line from Happy Gilmore, "go to your happy place".

Now I I have developed the perfect plan for you to develop your own rejection free 30 second advertisement. The key to this is knowing that your job at a networking event is not to sell anyone. Instead you are trying to figure out a way that you can help the others in attendance get more prospects and in turn how they can help you. It's always been a false perception that people at a networking event are all going to be prospects, if it works out that way then great but it's not the purpose.

1. Introduce yourself and your company name.

2. This is important! Do not simply say the type of business you are in. Instead you want to create a 1 to 2 sentence statement of what your business does. Example "We help families create wonderful summer memories while staying cool and refreshed."

3. Insert one maybe two important industry fact, for example if you're a landscaper you may say there are over 50 different types environmental factors that can destroy a persons yard." (Now I'm not a landscaper, and I'm shooting at the hip here. This is just an example of the type of thing I'm talking about.)

4. Well the only thing left is to tell them who makes the perfect client for you and in a rejection free statement if they know anyone to please have them contact you. Remember you are there not to sell them, but to find those that can help you to find more leads and you are them to help them.

5. Try to keep it to no more than 30 seconds.

Create your own advertisement and practice, practice, practice. Do this and you will be able to network like a pro!
