Network Like a Pro

Network marketing is one of the most effective ways to conduct business. The reason being that word of mouth advertising is much stronger then print. Think about it for a moment if a friend told you that they love Product A and what it did for them, then you will probably remember that when you go to male that purchase and you are comparing Product A to Product B. Which one are you libel to pick.

There are a large number of small business owners that don't do any networking, and the biggest reason is that they are scared. Public speaking is not an easy thing to do and it frightens most people. I have a few tips that can help you get over this fear.

How are you going to get over the fear of speaking in public? Easy; the answer is practice. Listed below are some tips to follow.

1. Be prepared - practice, practice, practice what you are going to say. Professional athletes practice the same drills and plays over and over again day in and day out; so that those actions become habit and can performed without thinking and can react to the situation. You have to do the same thing.

2. Be prepared and have all your marketing materials ready the night before and make sure you get plenty of sleep.

3. Some may say on the way to a function, listen to your favorite type of music to help you relax. I personally do the opposite and listen to music that motivates me and gets me pumped up. Which ever works for you to put you in the zone!

Now I I have developed the perfect plan for you to develop your own rejection free 30 second advertisement. The key to this is knowing that your job at a networking event is not to sell anyone. Instead you are trying to figure out a way that you can help the others in attendance get more prospects and in turn how they can help you. It's always been a false perception that people at a networking event are all going to be prospects, if it works out that way then great but it's not the purpose.

1. Simply give your name and the name of your company, if you like you can even give your title.

2. Next generate a statement of what you do rather then simply saying what you do. Example don't say I'm a landscaper, instead say We assist our clients in planning and creating their own at home paradise."

3. Now mention no more then 2 (and 2 is pushing it) most important hot buttons or industrial facts.

4. Well the only thing left is to tell them who makes the perfect client for you and in a rejection free statement if they know anyone to please have them contact you. Remember you are there not to sell them, but to find those that can help you to find more leads and you are them to help them.

5. Your target time here is 30 seconds long.

Now you have the tools to be able to network without rejection and without fear.
