Listen Openly

Many people try and finish other people’s sentences before the speaker finishes.  Some creates a judgment right away before getting all the facts.  This is not listening and can lead us into not having success in our business.

Network marketing is building relationships and keeping them.  Later those relationships can turn into partnerships.  In order to be successful in network marketing we have to become successful in building relationships.
 
The fastest way to build a relationship is learning to listen.  The more we listen the more we create relationships that can lead to partnerships.  Listening involves all ears open and our mouth closed. 
 
Sam hears that his neighbor needs a tool to fix his house.  Sam is a salesperson that sells saws.  Sam takes this opportunity and goes to his neighbor.  Once the neighbor opens the door Sam starts telling his neighbor how great the saw is.  Sam talks for about 15 minutes not letting his neighbor say a word. 
 
Finally after finishing the presentation he asks his neighbor if he would like to buy the saw.  The neighbor finally able to speak says no because he needs a screw driver instead.
 
If Sam had learned to listen maybe he would not try to sell the saw.  Sam could have started by saying "I heard you needed a tool to fix the house.  What tool do you need?” 
 
Listening is very important in network marketing.  When we learn to listen we then learn what we can or cannot do for a person.
