Tip #4: Don’t ask your friends to sell . Ask for a referral instead.

Don’t listen to trainers who demand that you “make your list of 100 closest contacts and start calling to share this wonderful and amazing business opportunity with them!” They’re asking you to trade in the friendships you have built over decades for a few quick bucks.

The dream of financial freedom is as American as apple pie. Sa mga kaibigan mo na sumali sa'yo gusto na nilang maniwalang ito na 'yon. Pero nag-fail sila. Ito 'yung na-feel nilang parang naabuso sila. Naniwala sila, pumasok o nag-join, at don nila nalaman na hindi sila makakapagbenta o maka-build ng sarili nilang network. Dito na sila magagalit sa sarili nila, at magagalit narin sila sa'yo. “I can’t believe I let you talk me into this. I must have had a stupid moment.” Nangyayari 'to.

Tip #3: Don’t ask your friends to buy. Ask for a referral instead.

Mahirap para sa ibang tao ang magsabi ng "Hindi o Ayaw" sa isang salesperson, lalo sa isang kaibigan. Kaya naman ang malimit nilang sabihin ay "Siguro o pag-iisipan ko" at ikaw naman ay aasa, tumatawag o nagpa-follow-up, at naghihintay sa wala. Makita kalang na online sa facebook nagla-logout sila, magring cellphone nila at number mo ang makita di na nila ito sinasagot.

Upang maiwasan ito, h'wag nang magbenta. Sa halip ay humingi ng referral. Narito ang isang paraan para magawa ito:

Ipagpalagay nating ginamit mo yung linya sa tip #2: "Flory, meron akong bagong natuklasan at nagbebenta ako nito dahil sa wakas pumuyat ako dito, at may sasabihin ako sayo tungkol dito." [ikakabigla nya 'to]

# 2 tip to make a meaningful career in network marketing-without using or abusing friends, family and neighbors.

Ito'y karugtong ng post na "How can you get past the negative word-of-mouth to build a successful network marketing business doing something you love?"

Twelve(12) tips to make a meaningful career in network marketing—without using or abusing friends, family and neighbors.

1. Don’t mislead your friends by introducing your product or business as if you were recommending a restaurant or movie.
 
2. Warn them up front that you’re selling what you’re going to talk about.

If you do this with sincerity and without apology, most friends will at least give you their ear. AND they won’t feel betrayed at the end. They might even give you a referral or two.

Sa magkaibigan madalas nagrerekomenda ng mga bagay-bagay sa isa't-isa, pero walang kaibigan ang umaasang bebentahan sila ng bagay na inirerekomenda ng isang kaibigan. Yung tipong nagrerekomenda ka ng isang produckto tapos sa huli sasabihin mo "Oh, nagbebenta ako n'yan, bumili ka na friend.", nakakawalang gana di'ba? Feeling mo ginagamit ka lang, yun yung nakakasira ng pagkakaibigan, kahit sabihing nagnenegosyo lang walang personalan.

How can you get past the negative word-of-mouth to build a successful network marketing business doing something you love?

Scenario: May nakausap kang tao at nabanggit mo ang negosyo mo sa kanya, nalaman nya'ng networking ang inaalok mo. Nagsalita sya ng negatibo tungkol sa inaalok mong negosyo. Ano ang gagawin mo?

- Sa una hindi, pero habang tumatagal at puro negatibo parin ang maririnig mo malamang sa pag-quit narin ang punta mo at magiging isa ka narin sa mga taong magsasabi ng negatibo sa networking.

Ano ba kasi ang NETWORKING?

Sabi sa Wikipedia -- Networking' is a socioeconomic business activity by which groups of like-minded businesspeople recognize, create, or act upon business opportunities. A business network is a type of business social network whose reason for existing is business networking activity.

Makakatulong ito para sa pagpili mo ng mga qualified people para sa negosyo mo.

5 Reasons WHY You Should NOT Start a Facebook Page for Your MLM Company

Lunch break, nag-browse ako ng FB at nakakita ako ng mga pictures ng products na naka-tag FB friends ko. Isa yun sa topic ko dito sa blog "How to use Facebook to Growth your MLM Business" na dapat iniiwasan natin kasi nakaka-inis yun, baka ma-unfriend ka kapag pinagpatuloy mo.

By the way, kanina may nabasa rin akong article sa postplanner blog na gusto ko i-share din sa'yo. Tingin ko may matututunan ka rito.

Question: Should You Start a Facebook Page for your MLM Business?

Opportunities are everywhere, new opportunities and people love new opportunities.

Many people will join a new opportunity and get extremely pumped about the product, the compensation plan, bonuses, rewards and etc.

They blast out links constantly on their profile, annoy everyone until someone tells them they should start a Facebook business page to showcase their products and reach more people.

Fair enough - better to do business on a page anyway right?

So they start their page and ask all of their friends to LIKE it - whom they already annoyed posting about the product on their profile before - and they start posting about the product, testimonies how great it is and more.

No big deal right? I’d say WRONG! Here’s why…
