Communication Breakdown - Dont Let It Happen To You
Do you have Communication breakdown? How are you communicating with your contacts? We need: Contacts we can send emails to regarding our business opportunities. Contacts we can build up a good working relationship with, similar interests as far as business opportunities go. Contacts we can share how we are going with our business opportunities. Contacts we can trust to be honest with us about what, how, when and why, as we operate our business and opportunities. Contacts we can become friends with, even though we are on other sides of the world and may never meet but can be open with each other like good friends are. With all these contacts there is one common factor ---COMMUNICATION. yes that's right communicating with each other. I have been amazed how much one can gauge by sending emails and receiving emails in return. A lot can come through in the written word. Mostly I don't think we even realise how much of our personalities we show when we send an email. Of course so many emails we receive, are not written by the sender, they are written by an experienced copywritter. There are also many operating online for years and years who have never written an email using their own words yet they send emails daily to our inboxes. They do this very well. so have never even thought to compose a message to their contact list, this is a shame. It is a shame because they have never given their contacts a chance to get to know them. The same thing goes for their contacts. Some of my contacts have never sent me an email about anything, I may be interested in their opportunities and may like to offer them to my contacts. So you see, communication is a huge part of this Internet Marketing. It is advertising, but more importantly it is communciation and communicating with each other. The trust we build when we communicate helps with our everyday life on the Internet. So let You show and let others get to Know You. I have found it hard not to write the way I was taught in school, Sister Mary Hitemharder gave me a good grounding in English writing and old habits are hard to break, but I am learning. Because we are not face to face, it is best to write as though you are talking to the person. Less formal and not intimidating and the more you do it the easier it becomes. Some people seem to have the knack, but if you talk to them they have worked hard to achieve the easy style. So start tapping at those keys and put your own words up there on the screen and let others get to know you. Put your personality out there and you will be surprised at the rewards you will receive. I remember one email I received very early in my online activities. I didn't act on this offer straight away, let the email sit there for a day or so. It had one of those sections at the bottom for the earnings of the sender. I must admit they looked very good. So I was considering this very seriously and being very new to it all, was a little cautious. A couple of days later the same subject line appears in my mail box but the sender is different and guess what? These two people had earned exactly the same amount of money on exactly the same days. I thought that amazing, what an enormous coincidence. Now really!!!! This is what I mean about writing in your own words. It would have been better for both these people to write that it is possible to earn good money with this program and not take someone's earnings as their own. Needless to say those offers I wouldn't waste any time on, just press the 'D' key and, away they go, to the Dump folder. Do yourself a favour and write to your lists, let it be you. I for one will look forward to reading your mail. So how are your contacts going? Do you know? Take the plunge, write and find out. Communicate, don't have communication breakdown.
