Are your Communication Skills Up Where They
Should Be?
By Simon Baxter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Those who have mastered "communication" have
mastered "recruiting"!
In online recruiting, what exactly is
communication?
It is simply the transfer of your business ideas
and belief system to your prospect.
Communication comes in many forms, you can
communicate person to person (face to face), via
the telephone, in writing (email), using
newsgroups, discussion lists and now even with
audio and video tools.
Find a method that suits you and work it to
perfection and you will NEVER have a sluggish
downline again!
The more you communicate, the more you will
recruit.
A good communicator will have the following two
traits ...
Believability and Sincerity!
And if you are going to be a power recruiter,
you must use these two traits to the max:)
Sincerity also incorporates the skill of
"Listening", in fact I could say that to listen
is more important than to speak.
This applies to online recruiting using emails
back and forth as much as face to face or
telephone communicating.
How often have you written an email to either
your sponsor in a program or the programs
support center asking a number of important
questions, only to receive a reply that only
covers 10% of your questions and that 10% only
being half answered if at all?
How does this make you feel?
I would hazard a guess at "very annoyed!" and
the feeling that they didn't even bother to read
your email!
Don't do this to others! If you do not know the
answers to your prospect or team member's
questions find out!
In communicating with your prospect, you can
find out many things including what they want
out of life and what they are looking for in a
program and then ....
You can adapt your return communication to
include "created mind images", of what they are
looking for and desire.
"Created mind images"? What on earth ... ?
Simply a procedure of creating visuals in your
prospects mind.
For example when you think of a Racing Green
Jaguar XJS, you SEE a picture of a Racing Green
Jaguar XJS in your mind, you do not have a
picture of a sentence in your mind, you have an
image!
So, how can you create an image in your
prospects mind?
Firstly you must create a big personality:)
Every time you write an email, make sure you use
the word "you" in your email at a ratio of 3:1
to the words "I", "me" or "Us", this will keep
your prospects attention.
Otherwise your email will strike of the holiday
photo syndrome .... Boring your prospect to
tears with the "I am interesting, so listen up
and look at this" ....
YOU are NOT interesting to your prospect, your
prospect is interested only in himself and
that's human nature!
Secondly, when you write an email, write to your
prospect as if he is there sitting across a
table from you and you are "speaking" not
"writing". Inject your own personality into
every single email you send, even when you are
sending to a support team or CEO of an Internet
business.
I have made many online business friends this
way, many of who have been very profitable to
get to know.
Whatever your personality trait is, use it and
stick with it, create a presence that is
recognizable as YOU. Whether you have humor, an
elaborate way of talking, or are just plain
blunt and to the point with a don't mess with me
personality, use it in every form of online
communication, forget what's eloquent or not
eloquent and master your OWN online presence.
I have often visited a message board and in
perusing the messages written relevant to what I
am looking for, i have come across anonymous
posters and know EXACTLY who they are, just by
their style of writing and terms used:)
So, practice your communication skills and maybe
I'll meet you in the anonymous discussion
forums:)
