By showing some compassion, the prospect or member will know that you are dedicated in helping them find a feasible solution to their problem or concern. The problem solving skill will come into play, when your member starts describing the problem that they are having. As you communicate your ideas to them, they will see that you are thoughtful and are trying to help. The combination of these skills will show your professionalism on variety of scales. The prospect may come back at a later time to become a member or to purchase a product.

The best way to develop these skills is by a phone call, chat on a messenger system, video conference. This is more personal than sending a “canned” response from an auto responder or email.

Mr. John Fogg of MLM/Network Marketing, author of “The Greatest Networker in the World” has said the following about myself and wife/partner Ann:

“It's been a looonnngg journey from their "weird" first exposure to network marketing where Ann— a Park Avenue Research Consultant, and David— the owner of an entertainment management firm handling the careers of rock stars such as (the early) Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Michael Bolton, Cyndi Lauper, Phil Collins, and other famous others, found themselves at a meeting full of strange "new agers" from Sunrider— that was 21 years ago— to where they are today: Significant six-figure income earners with Agel Enterprises leading an organization of more than 65,000 people in 40+ countries around the world. Above all else, Ann & David are focused on mentoring and leadership. Their combined expertise in recruiting, coaching, training and international development has made Ann & David much sought after direct sales business experts. The Feinstein’s approach marries both classic MLM and the technology advances of the Internet and social media. The first people they have their new people speak with are family and friends, they do meetings, build for and around events and David even unabashedly asks people, "Do you keep your business options open." They meet new people through weblogs, electronic newsletters, Twitter and Facebook leveraging their time and global reach. The business is all about relationships and giving value for Ann & David Feinstein… and consistently building their brand.” www.TheNetworkMarketingMagazine.com 4
