People Always Seem Interested In Your Product or Service … Then Nothing Happens
People you are networking with are there to sell their product and service to you. That is their focus. If you help them get what they need effectively and efficiently, they will want to go out of their way to help you

What happens when you try to sell your product or service to other networkers?
They will seem interested, to maintain social etiquette, but they usually aren’t. This is because as soon as you start to sell them something (which they are alert for and pre-expect), they look for the previous decision they have already made about your product or service. No matter what you are selling, they have already made a decision about it. And no matter how interested they may appear, they know almost instantly they are not interested. But you do not know, necessarily, that they are not interested. The solution for this is longer than space permits, but it is thoroughly covered in the Master Networker’s Workshop and the Master Networker’s Home Study Course.

Four Reasons Why Industry Exclusive Groups are Bad for Your Business.
Many networking organizations allow only one business type, i.e. one insurance person, one business coach, etc. Here’s why these groups can be bad for your business.
1) Less choice for you. You are expected to do business with members of your group. If you have only one choice for a specific need, how do you know you are doing business with the best?
2) Pressure to give business to other members of your group that you think, or feel, or know are not the best. You are pressured to give leads or referrals (prospects or clients) to members of your group. How does it make you feel when you do this and you know they are not the best. This puts you in a position to compromise your integrity.
3) What is your “competition” doing? How do you know? They are not in your networking group. Maybe other businesses like yours are on the cutting edge and you find out what is happening too late.
4) Less opportunity to synergize with similar businesses. Every person is unique; therefore how they do their business is unique. Other people in businesses like yours have different expertise, talent, skills and most desired clients they want to work with. Maybe you could work together synergistically to grow the overall market for both of your businesses.

Being comfortable in any networking situation
There are various reasons you may be uncomfortable
in networking situations.
This tip will help with all of them.
The main reason for discomfort is that when your attention is on being INTERESTING, you open the door to rejection, which could be real or imagined.
Either way you may feel uncomfortable.
Be INTERESTED in helping others advance their business and achieve their dreams … very little chance of rejection.
Whenever you feel uncomfortable, in business or socially, check your focus … are you being INTERESTING or being INTERESTED?

Should you be selling when you are networking?
When people are in front of you networking, they are there to sell you their products and services. This is actually illogical, because no one came there to buy anything. You will get them wanting to help you, and you will be successful networking IF you can efficiently and effectively help them advance their business and achieve their dreams. You will know how to do this for life after graduating the Master Networker’s Workshop.
