Another great start to the week-

Well here we are again readers, another week is here I wonder how all your businesses are going in what ever you do??????
I personally have had a great yet challenging week so far but boy its worth it. As challenges are what keep us young and the mind active.
It started yesterday when I went out for a one to one with another member of my networking chapter, to find out more about about their business. Now here is a hot tip to learn if your networking with other businesses. You must have a selfless attitude and as a cardinal rule you must never ever, network with a mind of how to get business for yourself, but how to get business for other people. It is when you adopt that philosophy that automatically you will find you will automatically get business back. Let me explain by telling my story.
Yesterday while having a meeting with my fellow member I always first like to tell them about my business second (never be too eager to explain about your business.) And secondly I like to do this as a mark of respect to my fellow business men (women.)
So the person I was in a meeting with was an electrician by trade, and I took done a lot of information about his business and how I might be able to get him more business in the future. Now when ever I have one to one's in my network meetings on wednesdays we are not allowed to actively recruit during meetings. Only genuibe business is allowed to be passed. But I do like to use one to ones because not only does it get to explain about my products, but also about the opportunity because you never know who may sign up in this game.
Something that I definately was taught yesterday, because although I thought that my colleague knew all about my business it turns out that he in fact knew very little. So when I presented the products I could tell that he was more than impressed and I could actually see him thinking and utilising the services for himself.
But what was more interesting was the fact when I presented the business opportunity to him and asked if he would like to get started he didn't hesitste to say yes. Which I was Impressed by his confidence in the company although he had only learned of it ten minutes before hand. So two things again are know, like and trust, and people will make snap decisions where necessary that they feel it would fit.
So then further to that I had another appointment with a consultant regarding my back. So during the consultation, he asked me what I did which I said to him that I saved people money and explained how my product worked, then he asked if we provided services for businesses and I said yes. Another customer appointment in the making, and honest I never even went in to promote my business I didn't really.
