Why It Is Important To Build Relationships In Order To Build Your Income
Attraction marketing these days is all about developing relationships. Gone are the instances when people would buy from you despite whether they knew or liked you or not. There are far too many questionable people out there and too many newbies (and not so freshmen) who have been caught out by them.
That's why the concept of attraction marketing has become so popular, it's about creating relationships, giving something of yourself that is valuable to others.
We all have something to give, you just need to identify which of your talents you are at ease sharing and this will tell you which niche to center on. Apart from anything else however, you need to continually improve your communication skills. A huge percentage of our personal communications are based on non-verbal aspects and these are almost totally absent or eliminated from written or audio communications.
It is extremely important to bear this in mind when you are working on building relationships with your prospects.
You are not going to be able to suit all of the people on every occasion as that old saying goes, but you absolutely can work hard on refining and showing (or being) yourself when you write to them.
Expand yourself by putting others first. Remember what it was that you wanted most when you were in their place and then share that with them (without cost, well at least in return only for their email address and maybe phone number lol).
Depict yourself by learning to let your natural self shine through your writing, mean what you say, think it through and explain it in your own words, don't simply imitate what you read in the ads or what your most favourite guru has sent you. Share their information with your prospects by all means but tell them where that is coming from if you are going to quote someone else verbatim and then back that up with your own reasons for thinking that particular share is influential so they still get a sense of the real you.
Always provide a couple of different contact methods in your chats with your referrals so they can choose a style that suits them rather than be restricted to the one that you prefer.
Social networks and forums can be great ways to get yourself looking familiar and to build relationships with people that enable you both to choose if you would like to work together before you discuss business (caveat: using a sledge hammer approach to promoting your opportunity ends up doing little more than sending you straight to someone's 'people you most want to avoid' list..)
You need to develop liking for yourself, (your brand), before you can attract the kind of people in who are going to work effectively with you, the more you give willingly and up-front, the less people need your time, reassurance and presence in order to find their own level of replication and duplication.
In reiteration then, the key to building relationships with your prospects is to develop your communication skills and to utilise to the maximum, the various technologies available to help you do this. Let yourself shine through so that people are able to connect to you on a personal level. Become someone that others want to be near because you have so much to offer, share willingly and gladly the skills that you have and never stop expanding yourself. This way your brand will take care of itself and you will slowly become an expert attraction marketer.
