People Don't Join A Home Business, They Join People.

A few days ago I received the best compliment I ever recieved from a gentleman I did not know.
Not because of the compliment, but why I got it.


To begin with... he was doing some research on a business opportunity I was promoting. "SMART MOVE". He emailed me with some questions. He was so impressed that someone actually took the time to answer his questions, that he signed up with the program.

I called him back and assured him that he made a wise decision. We talked for about a half an hour. Small talk about our back grounds, hobbies, likes and dislikes, family, and then business.
After our conversation I was convinced he would do well with opportunity.

Not only that, I think we became friends. We hit it off !.

Yesterday we talked again. He had some questions about advertising and writing ad copy.
I took the time and wrote an ad for him. He received good response from my ad and was excited. He than proceeded to tell me the reason he signed up with the program.

It was not the program. It was me. I was the only one that helped him and answered his question. I was floored with his response.

What's The Point Chris ?

The point I am trying to make here is this. I don't care what you are promoting. You could have the best income opportunity in the world. The best compensation plan, the best training, etc...
It doesn't matter. People join people.

I believe if you give without want, you will be rewarded. Why do 98 % of people fail with there home business ? The answer is simple. People don't take the time to follow up with their prospects and answer their questions.

Maybe they don't know the answers ? Well... you better take the time and find the answers and always follow up !.
