Are you In or Out?

 
What do I mean when I say are you in or out.

When you start working in your MLM company, your sponsor while want you to right away to be into your business. You may ask Why? Well the reason is that you are most exited in the first 30 days of  you starting your journey. They want to make sure you are success right away, so you can stay longer in the team.

If you decide to start your MLM business you need to really be In.

If you are waiting for the right moment to start promoting your business you are out, because the right time will never come. My suggestion is to try the product first and see if you really like  If you like the product you will be in and not out, as you will be excited about the experience.

You really need to do your homework before you start and be ready for marketing your business. Your job is to tell as many people as possible about your new business and ask them to take a look at the product or service. Don't be to pushy and don't try to get people join you right away.

I believe that the business part should be secondary, the product should be first. You are going to get different answer to this part, just do what feels right for you.

7 Ways to Maximize Your Network Approachability


After reading and researching  books, articles and other resources on communication, first impressions, networking and conversation, I’ve learned one important thing: none of them address what approachability means.

I read The Power of Approachability and founded to be one of the best books out there. So, straight from the pages of the book, here are 7 Ways to Maximize Your Networking Approachability

Wear Your Nametag

I’ve heard every possible complaint about wearing nametags, and all of them can be validated. Case in point:

Nametags look silly – yes, they do. But remember, everyone else is wearing them too.

Nametags ruin my clothes – not if you wear them on the edge of your lapel or use cloth-safe connectors like lanyards and plastic clips.

But I already know everybody – no you don’t. You may think you do, but new people come in and out of businesses and organizations all the time.

But everyone already knows me – no they don’t. Even the best networkers know there’s always someone new to meet.

Your nametag is your best friend for several reasons. First of all, a person’s name is the single context of human memory most forgotten. And people are less likely to approach you if they don’t know (or forgot) your name. Secondly, it’s free advertising for you and your company. Third, nametags encourage people to be friendly and more approachable. TRUST me on that one!

Ready to Engage

The word approachability derives from the Latin verb appropriare, which means “to come nearer to.” Interesting. It doesn’t say anything about the approach-er or the approach-ee. Just “to come nearer to.” So the first idea to remember is that approachability is a two way street. It’s both you stepping onto someone else’s front porch; and you inviting someone to step onto your front porch.

Although this article will address both sides of the street, here’s an example of the former. When you arrive at a meeting, event, party or anywhere in which many conversations will take place, prepare yourself. Be “ready to engage” with conversation topics, questions and stories in the back of your mind ready to go as soon as you meet someone. This will help you avoid those awkward “How’s the weather” type of discussions.
