I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration; I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person...more
Think about this for a moment. When was the last time you were approached and you were sold to? It kinda depends right? If you had a bad day and don't feel like talking to someone then your not going to be sold to on that day. It's not to say you won't be sold to on another day but that particular day your not going to be messed with.So if timing is essential to sales then why do people like to shove their MLM opportunity down your throat at the very first meeting? Then maybe a better approach would be to get to know someone before you decide to give them your 1 min sales pitch. Your not going to get 100% closing but it sure will beat just blasting everything that moves with your 1 min speech.You see this mistake all the time online. You join a social network or business network. You get an e-mail from a perfect stranger asking to be your friend. You accept because you want to grow your network and potentially get a MLM lead. They follow up right after that with a giant e-mail with their pitch for you to join their MLM downline. I don' t know about you but I'm not buying or joining anything from anyone I don't know. So how do I get to know them? How about commenting on their page,...more

When people read a specific, popular brand name or see a logo of a company's product online, a lot of things run through their minds. Some think about the quality of the products, others think of the competitiveness of the prices, while some ponder on the popularity of the company's wares. There are also some who remember their experience with the company or with the company's products. All of these thought processes are communicated by just knowing the company's name or brand. Thus, it is safe to say that branding is a very important part of a company. But what really is branding and how does it affect an Internet business? According to the American Marketing Association or AMA, a brand is the name or symbol or a combination of both that is used by a company to identify its products and services and to differentiate the same things from the competition. Branding, therefore, not only includes the name or logo of the company, it encompasses the ideals and personality that the company wants to project to buyers so that buyers, in turn, would recognize the company's products and separate them from products from other companies.
