Networking is simply the cultivating of mutually beneficial, give and take, win-win relationships. It works best, however, when emphasizing the "give" part.

Nobody is going to buy from you because you have quota to meet. They are going to buy from you because they see the value in doing so.

The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.

When it comes to influence, TRUST is often the missing piece.

Great influencers attract others.

I started out as a television news anchor but I wasn't very good at it. I think I was too positive. I wanted to begin every newscast by saying, 'Good evening, in the news tonight...everything's great! Go to sleep. We'll let you know if anything important comes up.'

The most successful network marketers I know, the ones receiving tons of referrals and feeling truly happy about themselves, continually put the other person's needs ahead of their own.
