Network marketing is a system in which marketing messages are transmitted through a network of distributors. Each person in the network is a marketer who attempts to find customers as well as other network marketers to expand the marketing net.The compensation system in the network marketing is such that a network marketer earns not only from sales initiated by him but also from sales brought in by his sponsored network marketers. Therefore the sponsor has a vested interest to see that his sponsored networkers perform well.Network marketing is also known as relationship marketing or referral marketing. For a network marketer the most important part of his business is recruiting new network marketers or prospects and ensuring tha
T= truthful Think facts vs. opinions, because opinions put others on the defense.
In a typical day at your office, who do you meet?
- The pessimist: "Nothing will ever work!"
- The procrastinator: "I've got a lot going on."
- The chatty Cathy: "This one time... at band camp..."
- The manipulator: "You look nice; will you do me a favor?"
- The egotist: "I know all that already!"
- The pushover: "Whatever you think is best."
- The victim: "Why me?"
To communicate effectively, you need to think differently. Remove the label and focus on the observable facts. What do these people say? What actions do they take? When you focus on the facts of the situation rather than generalize, you're more likely to avoid miscommunication.
H=helpful Think good direction vs. bad advice, because people are best at solving their own problems.
Have you ever told someone the answer to a problem and then watched as he/she did the opposite? Human beings subconsciously resist advice because they don't like to admit "I can't handle it."
Instead of thinking how you can solve others' problems, think how you can lead them to a solution. Some examples of helpful statements are:
1. What is the worse case scenario?
2. What could you do to solve this?
2a. If you did that, what might happen?
2b. What's in the way of doing that?
3. How would you feel if you did nothing?
4. What is your end goal?
5. What resources could you call on to help you solve this?
To direct people, use a combination of: the above questions, more questions related to the individual's issue, paraphrasing, and repeating back. You'll be amazed at how helpful you can be without giving advice!

How Business Davids Can Overcome Goliaths
In the story of David and Goliath, young David challenged the mighty Goliath. King Saul wanted David to wear his armour so that he could fight Goliath in the traditional way. But David chose to forgo the armour, used a weapon of his choosing, and relied on his own speed, and was ultimately successful in slaying the giant Goliath.Small business owners viewing the Goliaths of their industry slugging it out using all the marketing weaponry in their well stocked armoury, can be daunted by the battles raging around them. And if they choose to fight them with the same weapons, they have much to fear. For large businesses, economies of scale is their most potent weapon. A very powerful weapon. But like Goliath, their strengths are also their

You’ve just lost a key employee. Everything seemed to be OK with him, yet he is quitting. Why? You recently added a new employee benefit at great expense to the company, but employees are complaining. Why? For the third straight month productivity has declined even though better systems and processes were just implemented. Why?It seems that the more you try to improve things for your company and employees, the more problems are created. What are your employees thinking?How can you find out what your employees are thinking, and frankly, why should you care? Well, when turnover increases, productivity decreases, and employees generally seem unhappy, you need to find out why...and fast! And your employees probably have the answers.

You've probably heard the slogan, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." It may be a sales pitch, but in the world of advertising and promotion, it's right on the nose.Believe it or not, a bad title or headline will turn your prospects away quicker than bad breath. When you're trying to promote a business, product, or yourself, you need people to stick around long enough to hear your sales pitch, right? Well, a bad article title or sales letter headline will turn people off before they (or you) even realize what's happening.When you're looking for interesting articles for yourself or your ezine, what's the first thing you read? When you receive a sales letter in the mail, what do look at first? When yo

Many of us choose our jobs based on the health insurance offered by the employers; or, we at least let the health insurance play a role in whether or not we apply for and accept certain jobs. However, how many of us go beyond just asking about health insurance and asking about disability insurance, too? Probably not many of us, if any of us, ask whether or not the jobs we are considering, or even the jobs we already have, offer disability insurance.Just like all types of insurance, disability insurance is designed to protect us. If we become sick or injured and aren’t able to go to our jobs for a certain period of time, our disability insurance acts as a substitute paycheck. We can’t get a paycheck for jobs we aren’t working; howev

Have you ever been in a restaurant or store and watched a manager criticize an employee? You can literally see the physical toll of the scolding as the employee sulks away. What is that employee likely to do next?
a. go make a plan for personal development
b. go lick his/her wounds: sulk, complain, resist, justify, etc.
If you're the manager, what action do you want the employee to take? To get answer ‘b', you'll need to think that you're inspirational. Think of what you can say that would inspire someone to achieve his/her potential. Here are a few examples:
1. Your normal output is double. How can I support you in achieving that today?
2. ‘Individual's strength' is a strength for you. I've come to expect it when you're here. What can I do to remove any obstacles?
3. I know you pride yourself on ‘individual's value'; let's not cry over spilt milk. Let's focus on moving forward.
4. I know you're experiencing some set-back or conflict. Let's look at the end goal and focus on what's working.
5. Proactive people bring their own weather with them. Where can you get some sunshine?
When you lift people up with your expectations, they want to rise up to meet them.
N=Necessary Think mountains vs. molehills, because you can't sweat the small stuff.
You know the term, "I can't see the forest for the trees"? When you focus on minutia, your communication will often be negative and too frequent.
Instead of letting your mind dwell on all the little things that will go wrong in a day, train your brain to focus on the big things that need change. Great communicators see assets instead of deficits. Here are a few examples:
Deficit Thinking
- Not this again.
- Why didn’t I do that?
- That won’t work.
- I’ll never get there.
- It’s not perfect.
- This is awful.
- They don’t get it.
- I can’t.
- That will never change.
- What’s wrong with me?
- I’ve handled this before.
- What was in my way?
- What would work?
- One step at a time.
- The goal isn’t perfection.
- I’m disappointed, and I can move on.
- They have a different opinion.
- I haven’t yet.
- How can I work with what
