Ask NOT What Network Marketing Can Do for Us, Ask What WE Can Do for Network Marketing!
People begin to seek us out. In other words work harder to become a giver vs a taker. Think about what we can do to help other people. Believe it or not this is also a smart way to really find out if they are the 'right' ones that we're looking to partner with in our business!

People begin to seek us out. In other words work harder to become a giver vs a taker. Think about what we can do to help other people. Believe it or not this is also a smart way to really find out if they are the 'right' ones that we're looking to partner with in our business!
This really helps people get to know us when they can actually meet us over the phone and in person. The connection becomes more real and solid. Networking can be a lot of fun when our genuine purpose is to get to know people and ask them “how can I be of service to you?”
Keep a balance of being of service and also being professional and business minded at the same time.
Focus on finding the 'RIGHT ONES', positive outgoing people with the above attributes. Spend time and energy on them and not the others who say "no thanks this isn't for me" and stay clear of the negative complainers who have no desire to change the quality of their lives.
Find out what they do for a living. What are their hobbies? Are they satisfied with their life as it is? What would they like to do? How would they like to change their life? What's important to them? Where do they want to be in the next 5 years? What have they done so far to move closer to their dreams and goals? Do they have a vision? What is their vision? If they do have a vision, great, if not help them put their vision down on paper. If they keep doing what they are now will they reach their goals? Are they coachable? Are they positive about life? Do they want to do good things to help others too? Do they want to learn and grow or just stay where they are? Are they willing to do what it takes to achieve their dreams no matter what? Find out if they have experience in Network Marketing and if so find out all about it. Ask them what their thoughts are about the profession. Were they successful before and why or why not? What do they need to succeed? How can you help? Are they willing to help you too?
