Todays Marketing Tips From Craig: The Power Of Meeting People



Hello Everyone

Well i have decided that twice a week i am going to touch on some subjects that will help you with your marketing techniques.

Today i am going to give you a few tips that i use religiously in my business.

So lets talk about Networking and relationship building.

Most everyone learns required technical skills, but not everyone places importance on conversational skills. The ability to talk easily with anyone is a learned skill, not a personality trait.

Let me explain. I have always found it easy to talk to people, where most people have a hard time with this.

Social skills is just like any other trade, it takes confidence and practice.

Take my brother Julian for instance.

He is more on the quiet, shy side but in the last 4 years he has had to learn how to talk to people because of the type of business he runs.

Aquiring or polishing it will help you develop rapport with people and leave positive impressions that last longer than any other form of marketing.

This is in my opinion the best way of branding yourself and it works very well for me.

Heres a few tips you can use to improve your casual conversational skills.

Initiate conversations with a friendly greeting-The other person if shy,will be grateful.

Introduce yourself-This is part of the greeting and people will feel more comfortable when you tell them your name.

Smile first and always shake hands when you meet-If you happen to meet people outside the internet or if you are in a web video conversation, this helps you establish yourself as a personable, respectful, kind individual.

Take your time during introductions-Make an extra effort to remember names, and use them frequently in conversations. Note and use the names as shared with you. For example,if someone introduces herself as Jayrene,use that name rather than a nickname version.

Show an interest in everyone you talk to-The more interest you show, the wiser and more attractive you become to others.

Listen carefully-for information that can keep the conversation going.

Remember, People want to be with people who make them feel special-not people who act as if they are special. Take responsablity to help people you talk to.

Dont act like a interrogator-Questions like what do you do? Are you married? Do you have kids? and where are you from lead to dead end conversations.These types of questions can be asked once you establish your goal and connect with these people as your friends.

Show an interest in your conversational partners-You're not the only person who has opinions about how to make money online or other aspects of the internet.

Dont melt from a conversation-Make a positive impression by wishing them a good evening or have a nice day. Let them know you enjoyed the conversation and maybe even thank the person for sharing their thoughts with you. Most important always say goodbye before you leave and let them know that you are looking forward to talking with them again.

Meeting someone new involves risk, but ts well worth it. As long as you keep looking for new people to meet and show an interest in them or even offer them your help you can enjoy more friends and enjoy lively conversations.

Well i hope these tips help and remember, i use these steps in my everyday meetings with people and honestly this works better than anything i have ever done in my online success.

This will bring you people that will follow you to the ends of the earth. This builds trust and a strong bond.

Have a great day and if you ever need some 1 on 1 advice or you just want to talk,you can email me at my5dollarbusiness@gmail.com or you can just send me a ticket.

Have A Wonderful Evening
