Are You Giving Value In Your Network Marketing Business Opportunity?

I recently went to Lanzarote in the Canary Isles for a short break.  We stayed in Costa Teguise.  Wherever we went, on the beach or in the bars or restaurants, we were constantly bombarded with people selling sunglasses, hats, bracelets etc or offering massages.  We always declined their wares politely and refused to let them bother us.  But it did make me realise that there was a better way for them to approach people, and that would be to try to give some value upfront!

About halfway through our holiday we went on a bus trip to another resort, Puerto Del Carmen, where the bus stopped outside a small modern shopping centre on several floors.  As we came out of one of the shops, we were approached by a man selling different lotions and potions.  Our first thought was to say no thank-you and walk on.  However this man, who was happy and smiling, engaged us straight away.

He asked us where we were from, in perfect English, and asked us if we were off to the beach as it was such a lovely day.  We ended up chatting for a couple of minutes and we told us about a little known beach which he himself used, which was particularly nice and ‘far from the madding crowd’!  As we left him, he asked us to come and tell us what we thought of it one day, and maybe have a look at his products.

We did not feel at all pressured.  He did not lead with his business.  Of course he was there to sell his products, but by giving us value in the form of information that was of use to us, we were totally happy to return to talk to him and try out his products!  We knew he would not make us feel that we had to buy something, but we actually felt that we would like to do some business with him because he had been so friendly and helpful!

And it made me draw some parallels with my Network Marketing business. Because that is exactly what we try to do online; give value up front, without expecting anything in return.  Try to help people with their problems, by giving them information which could help them.  You could offer  free training, information or advice to help them to build their online business.

Because we know that if we help people get what they want and they begin to look on us as a valuable resource, they may come to us at some time in the future if they are looking for a new Network Marketing business opportunity.

So be free with your help and training; teach everything you learn to someone else and you will be rewarded over and over again in the months and years to come!
