Mentors In Motion Marketing Team
|
These are some things that being a part of the Mentors in Motion team has brought me to realize, please forgive me if it sounds trite or preachy, but I'm beginning to see how true these things are: If we have anything to share at all, we must first be open about who we are so others may percieve what it is we might have to share. Those who miss this vital element in building a business relationship have really built no relationship at all, and so the ties wither and fade as time brings new priorities into the mix. To be of use to our customers and our company, we must show all of our cards, not just the ones we think they might want to see. The internet can be as personal or as impersonal as we like, and it is the impersonal aspects that rob us of the value we expect when we put our time into one-way relationships. I for one, sometimes worry that my openness with the group I'm with will lead others to see me as a prima donna type, however, I've spent more than enough time in the past hiding behind impersonal marketing methods, and it hasn't worked. I think this is what Val Smyth means when he talks about people who expect to join a program and make money doing nothing, making no contribution. We all work very hard on our businesses, but we must at times pause and ask ourselves if the relationships that we have built are being well served by our actions. If the answer is yes, then we can be sure that we have something that will stand the test of time.

| Hi Dr. Billi, Nice to see you here! I've checked your ABC page and it seems that something happened at setup because it is too wide. I have a big creen and just can't see the whole page..?! I don't know exactly why this happened, but maybe because of a wide banner or table??! My Best Associates |

I think sometimes its easy to avoid "confrontation" to avoid unnecessary argument but it is often this confrontation that proves our transperancy. Eric J. Smith Lifestyle Home Services Lifestyle Organics |
