Let’s face it. Those who take or leave positions are really taking a position with or leaving their supervisor. If people like you, are attracted to and believe in you, they will follow.  A home networking business depends on those who believe in you and want to do what you are doing. 

One of the biggest errors that people make is trying to imitate or act like somebody else and not themselves.  They resort to putting the goal of high sales above connections with others.  Your network increases by the amount of people you help.  Over time, and with patience, those people will join in your cause, even if you may not get a lot of response at the beginning.  Construct a solid foundation, a good reputation, and your network will increase drastically. 

Foremost in your mind, is making everyone feel relaxed and not have the sense that you are pressuring them.  Speak confidently,not arrogantly.  Do not be overbearing.  You should get the people you are in front of to speak with others.  Whenever you say something, you should mean the words you say.  If you truly believe in what you are saying, others will as well.

An interactive component can involve not only a question and answer section but also a discuss forum.  Invite conversation, debate and get people excited about what they are talking about.  They can be involved in coming up with solutions and feeling part of the business already.  It may be a good idea, as this will cause interest to increase, and provide a better chance of conversion.   Listen and understand what is being said and let the audience lead. 

Don’t forget to be affable and a joke or two wouldn’t hurt, it’s good to get your audience laughing.  Learning is so much easier for people if they are relaxed and able to laugh.  Keep your body language friendly and welcoming.  Show trust in your eyes and a relaxed body manner to convey an authentic message.

Personal appearances to promote your business work well if you can get a great response from your audience.  If you have this chance, take full benefit from it.   You can steer their thoughts and minds in the direction you want by giving them the information they need, unlike people visiting your website, packaged in a fun and well put together presentation.   If they like you, they will want to work with you.  It is you that they will believe in and therefore, they will believe in the business and their own potential within it.  They will buy into YOU.
