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.
