NETWORKWORKING USED TO BE FACE TO FACE - Email and the Internet have changed that..


Network marketing was generally face to face.


This is changing with the times.


Network marketing has taken on a whole new look. You may not even know your network contacts personally, only by phone, fax, email, etc.


Internet & Email puts you right in your customers home or office. Now of course you can put your picture on your correspondence and even describe yourself if you like. You can put your full profile and let out all or some ofyour 'secrets' right on your website 'blog' or 'ezine'.


The good part of this is that you become a real person to whoever reads it. They can already relate to you in one way or another. Good or bad.


People doing business with people. Let's get back to the topic.


I spent a long time in the Steel Service Centre industry and did big business with steel mills all over the world. I recall meeting and dealing with managers but often my own buyers would not meet the suppliers office salespeople they were dealing with on a day to day business. The only thing they had in common was the product and the fact that they both new their manager managers had met and made an arrangement.


Often times a company will have a relationship or contract with another company for supply of goods & services. This would appear to be company doing business with a company, but it is really people doing business with people. If the people can't make it work, the contract ends.


A great portion of your business can be done with your Long Distance Contact. Someone who trusts you do live up to what you've said. Business will often follow the contact person when they leave the company and go to a competitor or start their own business.


Live up to their expectations. Give them more than they asked for, more than you promised, more than they expected.


Networking! It's all about people helping people.

RECOGNITION and the PROMOTIONAL PRODUCT



THE THEORY OF RECOGNITION -

Promotional Products help!!

Recognize and be recognized.

Wear a name badge wherever you go. Let other people know who you are

and what you do. Make it easy for them to remember you and your business.

Make it easy for them to approach and talk to you.


A little recognition goes a long way.

Whenever you give someone the 'pat on the back' attention, you will be remembered for giving the recognition. The event will pass and be forgotten but the gesture will remain.

When you help someone, you help yourself.


The importance of recognition.

Pay attention to the recognition process and it will take care of you.
Recognition causes friendly ripples in the pond of life. I think here, we are saying the same thing differently but the importance is there. It works for all concerned.


Recognition of an employee or a friend flows in every direction,
as does the imprinted promotional item.
It flows:
-Forward through the recipient to whoever they meet and talk to,
-Sideways to all the peers and fellows,
-Backwards to you,
-Friendly ripples.
