Network marketing is one of the most effective ways to conduct business. The reason being that word of mouth advertising is much stronger then print. Think about it for a moment if a friend told you that they love Product A and what it did for them, then you will probably remember that when you go to male that purchase and you are comparing Product A to Product B. Which one are you libel to pick.

It's the fear factor that drives most small business people away from networking. I have given you a program to help you get over it.

Public speaking is the 1st issue I'm going to discuss, and I make it really rather simple. If I can do it anyone can. Practice the steps listed below.

1. Be prepared - practice, practice, practice what you are going to say. Professional athletes practice the same drills and plays over and over again day in and day out; so that those actions become habit and can performed without thinking and can react to the situation. You have to do the same thing.

2. If you are going to a networking event, make sure to have everything you need the night before, if not sooner, and make sure you get plenty of rest.

3. While on the way to an event, you need to do 2 things. 1 you need to relax and start getting motivated. To steal a line from Happy Gilmore, "go to your happy place".

Now I I have developed the perfect plan for you to develop your own rejection free 30 second advertisement. The key to this is knowing that your job at a networking event is not to sell anyone. Instead you are trying to figure out a way that you can help the others in attendance get more prospects and in turn how they can help you. It's always been a false perception that people at a networking event are all going to be prospects, if it works out that way then great but it's not the purpose.

1. Hello my name is (your name) and I'm with (your company name)

2. Now rather then saying what it is you do like I am a business consultant, or I am a landscaper. Create a 1-sentence statement of what you do, for example "I help small businesses to achieve their business goals and aspirations."

3. Insert one maybe two important industry fact, for example if you're a landscaper you may say there are over 50 different types environmental factors that can destroy a persons yard." (Now I'm not a landscaper, and I'm shooting at the hip here. This is just an example of the type of thing I'm talking about.)

4. This is the last step and it is what makes it rejection free. Tell them who the perfect client is for you. Again if you were landscaper "the perfect client for me would be someone that wants to improve the look of their yard or is feed up with the upkeep of maintaining their yard. If you know anyone like that please refer them to me." Do you see what this statement does? You are asking them in a very casual way if they know someone then let them know about you. Your not trying to sell them, if they are now interested in your product or service they will ask you.

5. Try to keep it to no more than 30 seconds.

Create your own advertisement and practice, practice, practice. Do this and you will be able to network like a pro!
