How To Be Successful in Business Networking and MLM

Monday, February 1st, 2010 at 1:45 PM

I don’t care how many times you heard the pitches about all the automated sales and marketing, and promises you can stay at home 24/7 never picking up a phone and making all the money you want…

The truth is yes, that works, to the point and not a far one either.

If you’re in networking marketing then you must have noticed word “networking” in there, right?

You can’t be successful in network marketing and not network. Even when you feel like you don’t have anything to say, you don’t know what to say to people you’ve never spoken before.

Some of the most rewarding relationships I created sparked in the least expected places and times, mostly when I did not even want to make it to the event.

Keep in mind that your success will not only depend on the prospects you find and bring to your site, but also the advice and joint ventures you will create with people who are already successful in your niche.

Don’t underestimate the power of networking and don’t underestimate the power of eye-to-eye contact.

So next time there is an event you can attend:

be prepared to go
make sure you’re feeling your best
make sure you have a plan for networking
and make sure you GO

No matter how much I sometimes did not want to go to an event, I somehow always managed to walk away with meeting new incredible people. You will too.

Now, this past Saturday I went to the event I was looking forward to for while and I spent the day in the company of some of the most incredible people on the planet during WMI Birthday Bash like Mike Dillard, Jay Kubassek, Todd Falcone, Elaine Love, and many others….

I was especially very glad I had a chance to hang with Brian Fanale – The Internet Rockstar and get to meet his brother Jim in person as well, – not sure why Jim did not end up in the picture with us. We’re going to have to fix that next time!

Don’t let a great event pass you buy. These guys are not only there for themselves, they are also there for you. They are approachable and they will talk to you, so make sure you seize that opportunity.

After all, isn’t that what you’ve been hoping to get the whole time: a great opportunity?

P.S. By the way, not only that Brian and Jim are a great internet marketing team, but they are also good together in a band. They recently opened a concert for Shinedown.
