Better Networker!

How can you be a better networker?

A better networker listens more and asks more questions to find out more about their prospects.  When you attend network meetings, always speak with people who you don't know.  Many people make the mistake of gravitating to people they are familiar with or know and miss out on meeting new people who may be either interested in their business or who can refer to you.

A better networker will take business cards that they have received from people and put them immediately into their contact manager and then follow up within a week.

A better networker is organized!  

I can't stress this enough.  When you are in a business where you have to deal with many people, it is critical that you have the appropriate measures to put in place to deal with the numbers.  Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, a calendar are all critical to your business.  If you will not or cannot be organized, your results will not be successful.  I have had many members of my downline who just could not get organized and their business suffered.  Some people think they can remember names and dates and it's just not going to work, take it from me.

A better networker attends trainings!

If you don't take the time and spend a little money to invest in yourself, then you will not be successful.  You can spend money on things for your business, but if you don't know how to deal with different personality types, or know how to effectively close a sale or speak to prospects, then anything else you do in and for your business is just a waste of time.  Again, I have had people in my downline who have spent money on software programs, products to help with selling, banners, advertising brochures, but then would not do anything and did not know how to do anything with them.
