Adding value to your product can lead to more satisfied customers, higher retention and more profits for you. What is meant by adding value? To start with, a personal touch, an honest relationship and an expression of gratitude for your customer. This is just the beginning, but what a GREAT PLACE TO START!
How about letting them know how to earn enough money to receive their product for free, to earn a few extra dollars to their families income, or a Plan B for financial security? By simply communicating these options you are adding value to your product.
Set yourself out to be different, by adding value above and beyond the average guy. Sincere desire to help the other person is worth more than a few dollars in the bank, it's the way to accumulate prosperity.

Scared Off By 'Network Marketing'
Why in the world would people be scared off by the words, "network marketing"? Network marketing is simply telling others about really terrific products. Perhaps it is because in most cases there seems to be an attachment to the response. What I have found is that network marketing is working together, as a network, to share great products and advertise what these products have personally done for me and my family. As we build our network of people to work with, we build our business.
If I was to tell my sister about a great movie I saw, and she decided not to go see it, would I be offended? Of course not! If I told my neighbor about a terrific new restaurant and he did not try it right away, would I take it personally? Why should it be any different with network marketing? Perhaps, because there is money involved, which puts a value on them trying it. If we approach network marketing the way we would the movie or the restaurant, and take the emotion out of the response, we may move on more easily and grow much faster, by telling more people. Recognizing that the response is not what we can control, but rather the number of people we share the product or business. Keeping it simple, being aware that network marketing, in essence, is sharing information with others by means of working together as a group for support, we'll move on past the rejections much more easily and grow much faster. Allow the money to flow naturally as you begin to share with others without the emotional attachment to their response.
Networking is simply the coming together. If we can share in a calm, trustworthy fashion, this simple fact and educate others who are questioning 'network marketing', we can help them overcome the negative feelings they might have about network marketing. Not being emotionally attached to their response is not just good for me, it's good for them, and it's good for our profession.

Source Within
Find the source within yourself to go beyond what you thought you were capable of doing. Have faith in that source by trusting in it. It will take you to places you never dreamed possible, and that you can be more than you ever knew you could be. It is there. Find the strength to go beyond.

The Bucket and the Dipper
Each Tuesday night some of us from the Together_We_Build group get together for 'connecting'. We truly have a MASTERMIND GROUP. Lately, our calls on Tuesday night have been full of in-depth discussions on ways to work our business. Last night was a fantastic conversation on a few fundamental questions we need to be asking ourselves as we move through gaining knowledge and understanding of our business.
How do we become a SuperStar Networker? By networking and connecting people together, by overcoming our fear of talking to people, and gaining more confidence. The Genuine Networker is the greatest and most active giver you know. He/She is constantly referring business to others (not just his Xango business). SuperStar Networkers give, not as a martyr, nor for the quid pro quo, but because their buckets are full. The story below is an analogy on why this is so.
You have heard of the cup that overflowed. This is the story of a bucket that is like the cup, only larger; it is an invisible bucket. Everyone has one. It is always with us. It determines how we feel about ourselves, about others, and how we get along with people. Have you ever experienced a series of very favorable things which made you want to be good to people for a week? When this happens, your bucket is full to overflowing.
A bucket can be filled by a lot of things that happen. When a person speaks to you, recognizing you as a human being, your bucket is filled a little -- even more if he calls you by name, especially if it is the name you like to be called. If he compliments you on your dress or on a job well done, the level in your bucket goes up still higher. You make a mistake; a friend says, "I have had this happen to me. Let me give you a hand." There must be a million ways to raise the level in people's buckets; writing a friendly letter, remembering something that is special to them, knowing the names of th! eir chil dren, expressing sympathy for their loss, giving them a hand when their work is heavy, taking time for conversation, or, perhaps more important, listening to them.
When one's bucket is full of this emotional support, one can express warmth and friendliness to people. But, remember, this is a theory about a bucket and a dipper. Other people have dippers, and they can get their dippers in your bucket. This, too, can be done a million ways.
Let's say I am at dinner and inadvertently upset a glass of thick, sticky chocolate milk that spills over the tablecloth, on a lady's skirt, down onto the carpet. I am embarrassed. "Bright eyes" across the table says, "You upset that glass of chocolate milk." I made a mistake; I know I did; and then he told me about it! He got his dipper in my bucket! Think of the times people make mistakes, feel terrible about it, only to have someone tell them about the mistakes as though they did not know it happened.
Buckets are filled, and buckets are emptied -- emptied many times because people do not really think about what they are doing. When people's buckets are emptied, they are very different than when they are full. You say to a person whose bucket is empty, "That is a pretty tie you have!" He may reply in an irritated, defensive way, "What's the matter with my tie now?"
Although there is a limit to such an analogy, there are people who seem to have holes in their buckets. When people have holes in their buckets, they eritate others by trying to get their dippers in the other person's bucket. THis is when they really need somebody to pour it in their bucket because they keep losing.
The story of our lives is the interplay of the bucket and the dipper. Everyone has both. The unyielding secret of the bucket and the dipper is that when you fill anothers bucket, it does not take anything out of your own bucket. The level in our own bucket gets higher when we fill another's; and, on the other hand, when we dip into anothers bucket, we do not f! ill our own . . . we lose a little.
Sometimes we can protect ourselves and theirs by saying, "Hey, you have your dipper in my bucket!" Or, "We are getting our dippers in his bucket." Instead we can say, "Let's fill his bucket"' and, in doing this, experience the mystery of the dipper and the bucket.
Filling buckets is very similar to being involved in a helping relationship or profession because it requires a commitment, a great deal of time, human relations capital, and a strong, selfless desire to help people grow.

For this week, we're out to fill others buckets. By doing so, we will begin to fill our own. Try filling your bucket by contacting three people each day to discuss your business. Many people are looking for what you have to offer them. Don't let fear stand in your way of filling your bucket. Come from a 'GIVERS' point of view. Be the SuperStar Networker you are looking for, and you'll find yours.
