		<description>True enough, in order to sell a product or to be successful in any business venture, first you have to establish trust and rapport with your potential clients.  And nothing does this best than to be true to oneself.  Let people see who you are and what you can offer to them.  Once you are on it already, then go on and promote your business.  Let the world know about it.  Interesting article.  Keep it up and more power!

		<description>Hi Joanne,

My observation: You are already a Leader in your own field. So, what&#039;s next?

Self Branding!
 
Let&#039;s talk about why this is so important in the social/network marketing industry for a minute:
 
Traditionally, we are taught to only promote how great our company is, what kind of miracles our products can do. And generally play the &quot;mine is better than yours game&quot;. All the more reasons why you quit your job, right?
 
Today, consumers are bombarded with countless ads and offers left right and center. New MLM&#039;s and pre-launch opportunities. The newest and best wonder drug. Blah..blah...blah...
 
You see, there are countless opportunities being offered out there. Within your company, there are hundreds and thousands of representatives selling the same thing. Just Google your product in whichever niche market you are in, and you will see hundreds of competitors pop up in the search results.
 
Put yourself in your prospect&#039;s shoes for a second. What would you think if you saw another &quot;Best Business On The Planet&quot; Ad? or &quot;Join X Company Now&quot;?
 
Frankly...you wouldn&#039;t care at all! And you wouldn&#039;t even give it a second look.
 
Well that&#039;s exactly what is happening in the market place right now!
 
And hundreds and thousands of people are making the mistake of marketing this way! This is your time to capitalize!
 
So what do I market?
 
There may be thousands of other companies, and thousands of other products out there, but there is only one of YOU!
 
You must position yourself as a leader and an expert. 97% of the market place is NOT doing this, and that&#039;s why YOU have to raise your hand, stand out and add value instead of being a peddler just like everyone else.
 
This is a people business. Always has been and always will be.
 
People join other people. Not companies! So start marketing YOU!
 
Another reason why you want to be marketing yourself and NOT your business opportunity is because it can seriously reduce the attrition rate in your organization.
 
You see, the only asset you have in this business really, is the list of prospects and team members that you build over time. You don&#039;t really own any stake in your MLM business. And believe me when I say that network marketing companies can change the rules, anytime they want.
 
So if you want to create a real business, it has to be something that is built around yourself.
 
It has to come to a point where your team is willing to follow you to whatever company you decide to move to. And once you have built up your &quot;You Inc.&quot; brand and have gained the trust of your team members, they will follow you to the death!
 
In order to successfully brand yourself, you must have something of value to offer.
The best thing you can do to increase the value in others is to first increase the value in yourself. Educate yourself with materials that are valuable to others but few are willing to acquire. You don&#039;t need to be a 10 year veteran to be considered valuable. You are automatically valuable if you know just one thing that others don&#039;t. Just ONE thing.
 
So the next time you go out there and prospect for your business, don&#039;t just blatantly pitch your business opportunity and beat people over the head with it. Give value and solutions that people can take away regardless if they join you or not.
 
You will continue to struggle in growing your downline if you continue to pitch your opportunity right from the get go. MLMLeadsystemPRO is the system I personally use to brand myself and it will show you how to master the &quot;You Inc.&quot; concept.
 
It allows you to brand yourself and your primary company as the number one obvious choice.
If you want to experience the joy of having prospects call you in a matter of weeks after applying this system, then what are you waiting for?!
 
Setup your own Attraction Marketing system that will fully brand you and your business opportunity here!

I would also highly recommend a copy of Mike Dillard&#039;s Magnetic Sponsoring which is THE text book for &quot;Attraction Marketing&quot; to develop a magnetic personally that will attract endless leads and reps into your business.

If you haven&#039;t heard of Mike Dillard, he is a legend in this industry and went from waiting tables to millionaire status and superstar in less than 18 months.
 
Jo, those were my thoughts and please don&#039;t get offended. I didn&#039;t mean to encroach into your territory BUT please take a deep breath and think for a moment and soon I will see you at the top!

		<description>Hi Jo! I&#039;m very glad to have visited this site. I read your About Me page and I certainly agree about your experience with the American-based company which has opened doors for you to online opportunities. I  am also thankful for having been part of that company. Having known you and our bosses has helped me to get more knowledge about online biz, marketing and opportunities.

Moreover, I am starting to get to know more about blogging. I also plan to have my own blog sites soon. Actually, I want to extend my offline biz online.  

I&#039;ll bookmark this site and subscribe to RSS so I can get any updates from you. 

I&#039;ll tell you when my blogs will be launched. 

Thanks and congrats!</description>
